  • Jerboa alternatives?

    Jump

  • Your approach is wrong.

    You change apps because the devs don't want to bow to Google, while it's the opposite that needs to be done.

    Just set your phone to skip this "verification" bullshit, in this way Google can see from the telemetry that the 0.01% of users disagree with their policy

  • Cheap servers?

    Jump

  • Problem of free tier is just to entice devs in the hope that one of them likes the infrastructure and works at a whale

    If you use the free tier too much they close it because you used it too much and exceeded their fair use policy

    If instead you don't use it enough, they close it for inactivity

  • And it automatically does HA. Reuse the key on another server and if one goes down it automatically switches to the next one

    (Of course the application needs to support this, if you do this with a normal database it will break immediately)

  • GitHub - minio/minio: "This repository was archived by the owner on Apr 25, 2026. It is now read-only."

    Jump

  • Of course their closed source alternative is called AIStor and it is crazy expensive because everyone now needs to pivot to AI

  • S3 is designed for being used by applications via API, for example you can easily save and retrieve files from it even with a JavaScript application. It is much more difficult to do the same with sshfs

    If instead you use it mounted on a computer, S3 is worse because each time you need to list its contents that's an API request, if you have hundreds of thousands of files then it's thousands of API reuqests

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • Ah right

  • Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner: From $1,432 to $233/month With Zero Downtime

    Jump

  • They're the ones running a 10 years old database on a 11 years old os in a public facing server "because it just works", not me

    If it was a container, they could just tag a new version when the database went EOL 5 years ago, without being locked on what the package manager was offering

    Because they used MySQL 5 on CentOS 7 from the package manager and couldn't easily upgrade

  • Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner: From $1,432 to $233/month With Zero Downtime

    Jump

  • Not a sysadmin but just an hobbyist: is it ok to have such a large install bare metal and not containerized?

    For example the issue of MySQL 5 being unavailable would be a non-issue with a container

  • Microsoft Has WSL, But This Developer Built One for Windows 95

    Jump

  • I bet there's still a lot of stuff coded in that era that is still used in windows 11, like the drive format dialog or some icon resources

  • Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches

    Jump

  • If you don't join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There's no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it's more expensive

    Jump

  • I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave

    Edit:

    I went to watch their prices for the diy series

    • Win 11 home is +145€
    • Win 11 pro is +259€
    • Ubuntu is free

    (Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can't get win home edition if preinstalled)

  • I wanted to watch the 1939 movie the wizard of oz and in my country is not available on any of the streaming subscriptions. Can be only rented for 24 hours like it's some fresh movie out of the theater

  • I always notice and downvote the ai slop but here I don't see the patterns?

    Also I think I saw this graph from more than a year ago

  • When I installed pihole at home the Number One request in the network was the Google nest thermostat. Why the fuck do you need to upload the temperature or other stuff this often?
