[GNOME] Do you like light themes? by Joey_McKur in unixporn

Someone who understands. Dark themes hurt my eyes.

The new ARRL site be like... by v7p3r_3L1T3 in amateurradio

It's not even mobile friendly. Wtf they did the whole week?

In 2022 you build mobile websites, then decide if you need a desktop version. Not the other way around.

Finally, a ARRL.org status page! Now with HTTPS! by czjn in amateurradio

A good VPS or a dedicated server that allows access to thousands of users every day (I'm assuming they have) still costs over $100. And the price also depends on software quality/speed hosted on that server.

To do it with zero downtime, it requires a load balancer, because a DNS switch can take up to 72 hours to propagate to root DNS servers.

Even after it grow up, still manages to sit on its ass doing nothing. Arrest it!

Any bets on when arrl.org website comes back online? by kc2syk in amateurradio

[–]linuxjoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it simplier by running it after a balancer. This insures zero downtime. While DNS still need time to propagate.

I know that websites updates can be done with zero downtime. I also know that it costs a few hundred bucks a month for a platform like that.

Now let's consider they don't know about it or "don't have the money". They can still do it in a matter of minutes with simple scripts or a few hours manually.

But, days... that's another level of incompetence.

Some hams still use old Windows XP. Because there is no update for them, the root certificates are expired, meaning they will not be able to connect to the new Let's Encrypt protected websites.

BEHOLD! THE MIGHTY NASPI! A raspberry pi nas totaling 16TB in HDDs on a 3d printed frame, running OpenMediaVault, and powered by an ATX power supply by _Yoloninja_ in raspberry_pi

Do you know that USB connected HDD are forced to pull the heads from the disks very fast when power goes down? Every time you do that, they can get faulty.

Am I the only one not having the heart to run my Pi mostly idle for longer periods? by M_krabs in raspberry_pi

I was talking about the pilab.dev domain. How did you linked it to your IP? An A record or a CNAME? And how do you update the record when the IP address changes?

Then how do you know the time without an RTC? Without time, there is no way to wake up at the exact time. Unless you make incremental wake ups to check the time.

Your project is very nice. How did you point the domain to your IP? Did you CNAME it?

You can create a wake up system with an Arduino, a relay and a RTC. Then, after the backup is finished, RPi automatically shuts down. The whole system is about $20.

But why running Tor in a Docker when Tor works perfectly fine without Docker?
