Nope. But I’m eager to know how you can be so confident saying that ? (FYI the WiFi is served by a hotspot from my phone, which uses a randomized MAC address)

Thanks !

Gotta punch holes in the screen and hammer the keyboard a bit haha. But remember friends, Hardware is forever.

Easy, become a Magnetic Nymph today !

endlessh was pretty cool and a more modern version is even better ! I’ll give it a shot !

On a side note, I found a way to trap HTTP connections too while working on my cyb.farm project. The go implementation is ridiculously simple: tarpit.go. It works by providing an endless stream of custom headers to the client, which it is supposed to ingest before getting to the content itself.

OpenBSD for all of them.

Okay, good to know. I guess using a shared system remotely overseas doesn’t help with fast loading times ^^

Do you set the wallpaper from your profile ? I’ve only tried 9 on a remote system but image handling was painfully slow so I gave up on setting the wallpaper from the Rio theme. Maybe that’s faster locally on bare metal ?

Is auto-promotion forbidden ? Also, this game is very unix-y, which is IMO on topic

Why so ? It ticks all the boxes from the Rules section ;)

I’m a huge fan of cwm, but I must say you’re not advocating for it in this shot ^^

That’s cheap indeed. Is it possible to install a different OS than those listed on their website ?

I’ll look more into FUSE based remote storage more generally because it seems to be my only option besides NFS. I’ve heard great feedback from SSHFS so I’ll bench it eventually and see how it goes.

My main issue with NFS is that it’s been unreliable in my case (multiple servers connected over wireguard, over internet). Which cause locks and latency for the applications that read/write to it (Matrix server, distributed repository, …).

Of course if you can afford connecting the NFS server directly to the servers, that’s perfect but I’m more on the worst case scenario ^^

Ok thanks, so it’s similar to rclone mount, just with another tool.

How do you mount it ?

How do you use them ? Do you mount the bucket locally on the server ?

I didn’t know about their storage box. That’s interesting, thanks !

The best example would be a running an email or chat server. The spool/media directories can go large pretty quick as users share pictures, gifs, … So I would like to mount it from a remote location because the matrix server itself only has a 20G SSD for the whole OS. Rsync won’t cut it there as I have a specific process writing to a location.

I’m never going with Google/Dropbox ^^ the goal is to be in control of my data. Backblaze could be an option, but I expect too many read/writee for it to be cheap.

I considered the NAS at home but my home net is not reliable enough.

TBH I’m still looking for a better option to share storage between servers other than NFS. There has to be something better in 2023!
