I just upgraded from Pro to Max 5x and I’m getting about 3.5x not 5x

Why I love FreeBSD 4 months ago

Is there anything FreeBSD can do that, say, Debian cannot?

Docker containers is a big one.

I was surprised to learn that they still replace the keyboard on m1 max when they service the battery. Probably you are due at this point. I just had mine done

True, just happened to one of my friend. 10 years old gmail account got suspended because he supposedly sent phishing emails. Which is completely false (he didn’t even understood what pishing was, he had google authenticator for totp). Ofcourse the appeal process was useless as no one reply to those. It’s been 2 months now. Own your domain.

Yes and No. The internet sees it as a datacenter ip and some will degrade the experience based on that. Other are more strict and use a service like ipinfo.io (the op) to know exactly which Ip are used by a VPN provider and block access based on that list.

I’m conflicted. I understand the concept that stolen goods should be returned and it’s the right thing to do, but at the same time it was centuries ago and the preservation was done by them. I have seen well preserved exposition in that museum and then you visit the original country where it’s from and they themselves have nothing or very little left from that era.

GS308EP or EPP if you need more power budget.

Netgear are hard to beat in terms of reliability/price. They also have a 5 and 16 ports fanless version.

I also got an old Juniper EX2200 24ports and replaced the fans with quiet noctua. It run quite hot, better go with Netgear.

What I Self Host 9 months ago

When I read that someone disable password login (rightfully so), then they take additional steps to stop some bots to randomly brute force them with a password…

You learn pretty quick. Like CPU I don’t alert on it, I do on load average which is more realistic. I’m also solo dev, so I do it on the 15min avg and it need to be above a pretty high threshold 3 times in a row. I don’t monitor ram usage, but swap instead. When it trigger it usually something need to be fixed.

Also check for a monitoring solution with quorum, that way you don’t get bothered by false positives because of a peering issue between your monitoring location and your app (which you have no control over).

Same here, been running dedicated servers with OVH since 2009, if anything bare metal server are more stable than before. I just replaced a set of servers that was from 2018, I didn’t have any hardware problems during their 8 years of working under significant load. During that time I had 2 or 3 power outages, a few more network outages. Usually problems come in a cluster. I had a few years that I had nothing to report, 100% uptime. Dedicated are nice, but I guess it scares people. Hetzner use lower hardware quality than OVH on some of their offerings, so your experience may vary. One of the most important thing is to check that your server use datacenter SSD/HDD with ECC ram, it saves you a lot of problems.

I also started with 3.1 as my very first linux experience. I never felt the need to change distro over the years. Just yesterday I upgraded 3 servers to debian 13, one from debian 11 and one from 12.

I wish I had more stories to tell, but that’s the thing I like about Debian.

Hetzner Storage Boxes 10 months ago

For stuff like archive and backup you can use ovh object storage infrequent access. Comes to 5$ per GB but you pay for what you use only and it scale infinitely.

My battery is at 80% after 2 years. Mine is still on AppleCare+. I always do express replacement so I get a « new » one. Hopefully my battery reach 79% soon.

They haven’t. They had time to catch up, but they didn’t. They recently switched their auto complete model from 4o-mini to 4.1-mini. It’s not smarter at predicting what you are trying to do. Nothing magical like last year experience on Cursor (I haven’t tested lately, so it might be even better now).

I heard Windsurf is quite good and the closest to Cursor magic, available on Windsurf free plan (unlimited autocomplete). I should give that a try.

There is tons of big power producing electric dams in the middle of nowhere (north of Québec province). It’s also cold most of the year. As far as I know, datacenter doesn’t mean tons of technical workers (except during the building phase). Bringing fiber would not be impossible.
