keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.
Isn’t gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.
I’d sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!
The problem with non-PLP drives is that Rook-Ceph will insist that its writes get done in a way that is safe wrt power loss.
For regular consumer drives, that means it has to wait for the cache to be flushed, which takes aaaages (milliseconds!!) and that can cause all kinds of issues. PLP drives have a cache that is safe in the event of power loss, and thus Rook-Ceph is happy to write to cache and consider the operation done.
Again, 1Gb network is not a big deal, not using PLP drives could cause issues.
If you don’t need volsync and don’t need ReadWriteMany, just use Longhorn with its builtin backup system and call it a day.
I tried Longhorn, and ended up concluding that it would not work reliably with Volsync. Volsync (for automatic volume restore on cluster rebuild) is a must for me.
I plan on installing Rook-Ceph. I’m also on 1Gb/s network, so it won’t be fast, but many fellow K8s home opsers are confident it will work.
Rook-ceph does need SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP), or it will get extremelly slow (latency). Bandwidth is not as much of an issue. Find some used Samsung PM or SM models, they aren’t expensive.
Longhorn isn’t fussy about consumer SSDs and has its own built-in backup system. It’s not good at ReadWriteMany volumes, but it sounds like you won’t need ReadWriteMany. I suggest you don’t bother with Rook-Ceph yet, as it’s very complex.
Also, join the Home Operations community if you have a Discord account, it’s full of k8s homelabbers.
I don’t have experience with any of the models you’re considering. I used a Corsair for years (don’t!) and am currently quite happy with an old Filco Majestouch 2 TKL that I added some white and pink keycaps to.
The Filco was bought used, is built like a tank and only cost about €80.
The one thing I miss in it is QMK/VIA support.
As I understand it, a keyboard with QMK or another firmware with VIA support essentially allows you to program your keyboard however you want. And then bring that programming (“layout”) with you to another board.
My Filco has 4 dip switches on the back that allow very limited programming: for example, switching Esc and `, or switching Caps Lock and Ctrl.
But I can’t make it such that Caps Lock works as Caps Lock when long-pressed alone, but as Ctrl when struck in a chord with another key. QMK/VIA would make this possible.
Even if you don’t want to do this now, having the option to play with combination keys and smart layouts like that is very interesting when you want to downsize from TKL to a smaller board.
Also, consider the used market.
I should try Gaterons sometime. I’ve only ever used Cherry MX Brown. Happily using those atm with my second mech keyb, a Filco TKL. First was a Corsair full-size, also Cherry Brown.
And I’ve tried linear in a shop once, but I hate those. Feels empty to me, like there’s no switch and only makes me push into the frame harder.
For my next keyboard, I’d like something programmable (Caps Lock as Ctrl, hjkl with Fn as arrows, etc) and smaller, no need for F-keys and separate arrow keys.
The article says it can debug TUIs, similar to what the browser’s debug panel does for web apps. That is useful for TUI developers.
Other than that, I don’t know either what Kitty is missing.
Finally, the end of “it doesn’t work on Wayland” is in sight. Just in time for Windows 10 EoL too
I’ve heard of SwayFX, but it’s pretty niche and I doubt it comes close to the featureset of Hyprland
That’s crazy and genius!

The way I understand it, there’s 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:
Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

Is privacyguides wrong?
While the company has a questionable record and a controversial business model, Brave Browser is an open-source browser with good privacy features.
Interesting approach but looks like this ultimately ends up:
Anubis seems like a much better option, for those wanting to block bots without relying on Cloudflare:
If they don’t keep any private data on any computer that trusts their home network/wifi and don’t do taxes or banking on those, there’s no problem.
But if they do, I maintain that the analogy is correct: their unpatched machine is an easy way to digitally get access to their home, just like an unlocked door is to a physical home.
You keep using the word “maintenance”. All I’m worried about is not installing any security patches for months.
The problem that I tried to highlight with my “cherry picking” is:
So unless you have separated this Orange Pi into its own VLAN or done some other advanced router magic, the Orange Pi can reach, and thus more easily attack all your other devices on the network.
Unless you treat your entire home network as untrusted and have everything shut off on the computers where you do keep private data, the Orange Pi will still be a security risk to your entire home network, regardless of what can be found on the little machine itself.
No it is

And:
You’re allowing for more attack vectors that would not be there if the system were to be patched. Depending on the severity of the vulnerability, this can result in something like crashes or something as bad as remote code execution, which means attackers can essentially do whatever they want with the pwned machine, such as dropping malware and such. If you wanna try this in action, just spin up a old EOL Windows machine and throw a bunch of metasploit payloads at it and see what you can get.
While nothing sensitive may be going to or on the machine (which may seem to be the case but rarely is the case), this acts as an initial foothold in your environment and can be used as a jumpbox of sorts for the attacker to enumerate the rest of your network.
And:
Not having vulnerability fixes that are already public. Once a patch/update is released, it inherently exposes to a wider audience that a vulnerability exists (assuming we’re only talking about security updates). That then sets a target on all devices running that software that they are vulnerable until updated.
There’s a reason after windows Patch Tuesday there is Exploit Wednesday.
Yes, a computer with vulnerabilities can allow access to others on the network. That’s what it means to step through a network. If computer A is compromised, computer B doesn’t know that so it will still have the same permissions as pre-compromise. If computer A was allowed admin access to computer B, now there are 2 compromised computers.
I used to lose my keys all the time. I don’t want to spend so much time looking for my keys, nowadays I mostly just leave them in the front door, I rarely lock it and it works like a champ.
OG Crysis!
It’s a pretty great Deck game, and I’d never seen it run as consistently as it does on Deck at 40fps limit.
