          My RaspberryPi 4 is already running too many services and sometimes Pi-hole is becoming unresponsive which is very annoying...

          Today I got myself a Lenovo Tiny from eBay. For some strange reason I had to resist the urge to order 3 of them, print a rack and build a cluster...

          Then I have installed Debian, installed and configured some basic packages and I have setup up the borgmatic. While doing this I realized I definitely need to spend more time with Ansible...

          The first service I have migrated was Prometheus, the CPU load on the Pi already got a bit less. But not that much, the next service to migrate will be InflxuDB which is eating a lot CPU and IO, but that's something I'll do tomorrow.

                    A friend asked me about costs etc. in running my own Mastodon (glitch-soc) instance.

                    My reply might be useful more broadly:

                    Costs: I run mine on an Intel NUC, for which I paid about ~£200. But I ran for years on a Raspberry Pi, which was fine until my account got a bit big. It consumes some electricity, and I already have an Internet connection with IPv6 and a spare IPv4. So, incrementally, beyond the cost of the hardware, very little.

                    Time to set up: it took me about 30 minutes *but* I am already familiar with hardening a Linux server, and I build the basic infrastructure automatically. Honestly, this is the bit that would concern me the most, for someone planning on putting a box on the Internet. But it could also be a fun learning exercise.

                    Time to maintain: a few minutes a month. Upgrades are easy enough. Backups are automatic (because I have automated them).

                          Microsoft hat mit Azure Linux 4.0 seine eigene Linux-Distribution veröffentlicht. „Microsoft loves Linux", schon klar.

                          Ich habe genauer hingeschaut und einen längeren Text dazu geschrieben — über Steve Ballmers „Krebsgeschwür"-Rhetorik, über die Jahre, in denen Microsoft an praktisch jedem Android-Telefon mitverdiente, über Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, und über die Frage, was „Souveränität" eigentlich noch bedeutet, wenn das eigene Linux in einer fremden Cloud kuratiert wird.

                          Kleine Offenlegung vorweg: Ich habe von 2005 bis 2011 selbst für Microsoft gearbeitet. Das hier ist also keine Abrechnung von außen, eher ein Learning von jemandem, der die Maschine von innen kannte.

                          Der Text nimmt die wohlwollende Lesart durchaus ernst, seht selbst, er endet trotzdem unbequem:
                          „Linux in der fremden Cloud, kuratiert von fremder Hand, aktualisiert aus fremder Registry … das ist keine Souveränität. Das ist ein Mietverhältnis."

                                    I have secured my home access a bit more.

                                    I now run a Wireguard VPN-server inside an Incus container.

                                    The container has two interfaces.
                                    One on my LAN and one only shared with the host via Incus.

                                    The host runs a ssh-server that only binds to the interface shared with the container.

                                    So the only access to my ssh-server is through the VPN.

                                    The VPN is configured with a PSK to be more resistant against post quantum encryption.

                                    My ssh-server only accepts key-authentication and post quantum KEX.

                                                          It’s a lightweight web app that listens to public streams, filters for the hashtags I actually care about, and uses an LLM to generate a daily digest of the last 24 hours. Basically, a personalized news feed to help cut through the noise.

                                                          It works reasonably well for what I need. Here’s an example of today's run: mastosum.linuxserver.pro/s/6q1

                                                                              tomotama.com/kiki

                                                                              two years later, there are now dozens of kiki instances run by sysop-admins around the world. it's incredibly gratifying to see the web made less shitty by just elbow grease and diy learning. the instance admins are a blend of writers and coders who painstakingly find bugs, dig into the source, and inspectorgadget workarounds. improving it and patching it is a lifelong commitment, even if it doesn't pay the bills.

                                                                              in the coming week is a feature that 0.01% of users will take advantage of, but i'm so happy to add it, to keep the dream of an indie web alive: kiki will now generate RSS 2.0 compliant podcast feeds. i thought regular old web RSS was bad. but RSS for podcasts is about 10x worse 😅

                                                                              the attached screenshot is a new site i'm building with kiki 1.2.0, which autogenerated a podcast feed using metadata in each post.

                                                                              this morning i'm updating a client's wordpress site, and for all my moaning about how bad RSS is, i can't believe how much worse wordpress is. 😆

There are two icons on the desktop: CD-ROM Safari Podcast, and Encartapedia.

The top right has two podcast icons, one for RSS feeds and another for Apple Podcasts.

                                                                                okay what's in the actual physical machine right now is an Intel Core i5-9400 YES IT IS AN ANTIQUE

                                                                                it was fine until mastodon started pulling in all replies. which is absolutely a feature i support but dang it is it making my federated wordpress blog hard CPU-bound

                                                                                (it does at least have a decent cooler so is not _also_ overheating. temps are good.)

                                                                                $200 on eBay gets me like 2 more cores and 10 more threads without having to change out anything else

                                                                                maybe i should do that?

                                                                                lot cheaper than new mb and new RAM

                                                                                still an oof tho'
