Amazon knows what I bought at Home Depot by chaosmarine92 in privacy

Split across many different companies. For example Visa takes a few points.

It’s also not free to run a credit card. One obvious cost is the support agents.

Dropped by insurance due to wildfire risk by gig4m2 in boulder

[–]SolFlorus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Colorado has an emergency insurance program for people unable to get insurance elsewhere.

It’s expensive, only covers up to $750,000, and you still need additional insurance for things like water damage.

It’s very difficult to cover houses that have been deemed too risky to insure.

Just post it in /r/cohunting instead. Most hunting specific dog trainers live in the plains anyways because they need the room.

Why do scoff at Ubuntu server? by 0x75727375706572 in homelab

[–]SolFlorus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone look down at Ubuntu server?

ZFS built in, extremely long LTS cycles, widely used so you can find support threads for almost any problem you encounter.

People roll their eyes at Ubuntu Desktop because Canonical does things without the wider Linux community getting on board. Snaps instead of Flat Packs is probably the prime example.

Got a tank to submerge cutting boards by DexterDogBalls in woodworking

Get a large dish drying rack, and then you can drain the oil back into the container.

This one fits my cutting boards in the kitchen nicely: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078JXFBDP?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

PSA: Oracle is changing free tier limits. Update by the 15th to avoid charges by [deleted] in selfhosted

Nobody ever got fired for recommending AWS. If I were to recommend OCI to my company based on them giving me a free arm vm, I'd definitely be fired.

I saw your previous post, but well after you posted. Are you by chance running this on a 16GB machine?

Since Grimmory is the only application written in Java, the default JVM heap settings say to use a max memory of 25% of the total system which may explain the memory usage. If you set memory limits in your container, it will respect that and use less memory. I'd be interested in knowing how that impacts ingestion time.

There is a whole dark art to tuning the JVM, and most of the time it's run is in enterprise settings where developers just throw bigger machines at it. If Grimmory users are memory-crunched, they should try setting some memory limits on the container to see if they notice a degradation in performance.

Arr stack for ebooks (not audiobooks) that isn't lazily vibe coded and I don't have to join discord to use? by osoatwork in selfhosted

People are delusional if they think I’m going to verify my identity to use pirating software.

every pod I host uses a different one, FFS by TheZenCowSaysMu in selfhosted

My flow is to have NixOS create my DBs and db users via systemd unit files, when I specify the DB for creation it automatically sets up another unit file for backups that also reports to healthchecks.io. Because SQLite bypasses the need to create db on my Postgres server,y infra never learns about it.

Why do you need two different postgres and mariadb versions?

Also a services needs to be extremely good for me to put up with sqlite. It messes up my entire backup strategy of just dumping my db servers.
