Damn I was actually gonna add more context to my original comment about how QUIC is an overrated in place UDP upgrade for HTTP, but I didn’t wanna open my mouth because I haven’t read the QUIC spec.
Thank you for this lol
Sliding windows are for losers, spam packets at gigabit rates or go home /s
I need a CDN free single GET request club
Something something QUIC something something
Ever seen Paulie laugh in the Sopranos?
All that exploited spice trade and you’re still eating like its WWI rationing.
If you want the meta search functionality, you should try out SearXNG, which is basically self hosted poor man’s Kagi lol
Couldn’t you just lazy build your own images if you don’t trust the source?
Even then most of these containerized apps can be run perfectly fine as a host binary, you just have to make your own start script and a systemd unit which isn’t that bad.
You could then build a completely custom image if you’d like, or move it into a VM if you don’t like the idea of running it baremetal.
How does it compare to Photoprism? Been on that solution for a while and I really like it, but have seen lots of people suggest Immich as well.
you got old
It’s uh… the algorithm… probably
TP-Link is excellent for cheap switching hardware which a ton of vendors overprice for the same quality. Its your OG made in China deal that works pretty well for the price.
Otherwise, you should skip it as a router and instead opt for either a better AIO, or put in the 2 minutes of extra effort to get a cheap ethernet router and a separate AP because AIOs are still overrated in 2025 for the price per quality.
Not to mention that 5 GHz channels are getting clogged these days even on the DFS channels which people shouldn’t be using all the time. I know its not possible for a lot of people, but you’re really better off on even bargain basement maximum cheapo Cat-5e cables.
Gb WiFi speeds and MuMIMO not gonna matter when you have CSMA/CA throwing a metric ton of RTS and CTS packets causing increasing amounts of retries as you add stations.
Probably worst scenario is if you’re living in an apartment surrounded by like 50 stations within range. No amount of 802.11 magic is gonna give you a stable connection.
No offense but CAs still don’t support ed25519, a now 20 year old ECDSA standard that everyone uses basically everywhere else, including FIPS.
Although tbf I’m sure the NSA could yolo PKI in an “emergency” situation anyway by compromising a CA, though I don’t think that would happen unless its literally WWIII.
I really hate how much of a deal they make out of congressional hearings like it isn’t the lamest form of PR where nothing happens.
If it was a serious issue they cared about, senators wouldn’t be walking in for their 15 minute turn and then just immediately leave after they’re done reading off of their script.
They never show a wide shot because the chamber is empty.
Hot seat my ass, I wouldn’t be surprised if it came built in with a back massager to compensate whoever has to sit for several hours for the whole show.
Ubuntu and Docker.
Really? Netplan alone disqualifies Ubuntu as a “friendly stable starter distro”, and I can guarantee you that your guide will somehow become outdated with a single new Ubuntu release, or some poor soul who accidentally selected an LTS release.
Docker doesn’t matter as much, but there’s a reason beyond just FOSS licensing why podman exists.
Would highly recommend Debian instead.
I started on Ubuntu similar to this many years ago and both the server and desktop experience was not fun at all.
Sad, you can still do this with youtube for the time being
IoT devs avoid MQTT and Multicast traffic like the plague.
Dawg even pirate stream sites don’t host on AWS and GCP, you can still watch your content for free online without worrying about a cloud outage because pirate sites actually distribute their files on several cloud platforms since they’re technically always at risk of DMCA lol.
Its usually that you’ve experienced the gold standard of something before and now you can’t achieve it again, so everything in comparison looks boring.
Not to be confused with nostalgia, but movies for example had a peak period of production and entertainment value that is long gone. Modern hollywood almost looks like slop compared to even decent film hits 30+ years ago, but anyone who hasn’t experienced that era wouldn’t know. You just never know when you’re in a golden era until its over because it’s all relative to your perspective. And it’s always possible another golden era appears, its just very unlikely.
Aside from that, I heavily critique everything because I used to be a big fiction reader and now I can’t help but notice every plot hole, character development flaw, trope, and archetype in literally any media.
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but its gotten to the point where I can reasonably deduce most of the story of a movie from its quick description, which is not a good thing.
Example mega spoiler for Fantastic 4:
I guessed the baby was gonna revive someone literally 30 seconds into the film even though I actually don’t know anything about Fantastic 4 comics or characters outside of the main crew and Dr Doom.
I was actually half joking but then it dawned on me that’s literally what was gonna happen and just went “oh… cool”.
Also got banned from db0 for calling out their recent trend of being tankie sympathizers and hosting .ml users to subvert instance blocks
Not to add fuel to the fire but .ml is barely a problem. Now hexbear on the other hand (lol)
So, they didn’t know how to properly configure prometheus. I tell them I can kill 2 birds with one stone. No, prometheus bad. Rejected.
Bruh I would trust a high schooler to successfully spin up prometheus; stories like this are what make more grateful for my job, brings back memories of insane posts on r/sysadmin
This actually reminded me of an actual instance of this I discovered for a family member.
Their 2.4Ghz devices would just randomly drop connections at seemingly random times, and changing the router didn’t fix anything.
So I fired up bettercap to take a look, and lo and behold it was a GE “smart” oven that would spam advertise its SSID with beacon frames on an interval and would block traffic because all the other devices would see a busy channel.
The funniest thing is said family member specifically decided against using the oven wifi feature because he already knew it was not going to be useful or even reliable, but he had no idea the wifi feature was left on which was causing all the packet drops.
Upon further investigation, we realized he actually did turn it off, but because the tap button was basically at elbow height, it was super easy to accidentally bump and flick back on.
Conclusion is that some GE ovens double as a crappy WiFi jammer lmao.
