On my machine it’s consuming about 0.5% - 1.0% of cpu time, which is higher than zerotier in the same machine (almost zero).
Tailscale does a lot more things than just tunneling though. For example, on default installation it’ll catch all outbound dns request on the machine and route them through MagicDNS (100.100.100.100).
Whelp, nextcloud isn’t known for being fast. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of emails yet so I can’t comment on that, but one thing for sure is as you put more and more data on it, you’ll have to add more CPU and RAM to it or it’ll getting more and more sluggish.
I haven’t noticed any performance issue so far. I think they use wasm which help with speed. Too bad it’s not open source, but the fact it’s developed by a single guy working on it full time is actually very interesting, considering the webapp is actually work better than some apps developed by bigger teams. It can even edit PDF and gif!
I think using container instead of VM should be better for maximizing resource utilization in a raspberry pi. Instead of partitioning your tiny 8gb RAM into 3-4 VMs with even tinier RAM each, you can run a dozen of containers and probably still have some free RAM.
Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.
I always look for excuses to get more servers, so if you ask me, I’d say yes, get that new server. There’s no such thing as having too much servers since there are so many things I want to self-host.
I also regularly tear down my servers and see how fast I can set it up again. Keep my deployment scripts up to date.
photopea.com is actually pretty great, much easier to use than gimp with similar (or even better) feature set.
You can enable it from settings -> remote control in SmartTube app. Also, if you’re using YouTube revanced, the cast button might be hidden because it was not functional. You can re-enable the cast button on YouTube revanced from revanced settings.
When casting a video, you’ll have to open the SmartTube app in your Android TV first because it’s not automatically launched when you hit the cast button in YouTube revanced. If it’s in the background or not yet running, the video won’t play.
Here is the documentation, pretty bare though: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/oauth2.html
I use keycloak. Pretty steep learning curve, but once properly set up, it can do pretty much anything.
But if you’re in a pinch, NextCloud can act as an OIDC auth provider out of the box.
Does ssh works? If yes, you can use autossh to create persistent ssh tunnel to your VPS.
I just tried installing SmartTube on my Chromecast Ultra today and found out it can pair with YouTube revanced. This fixed my number one issue with revanced where the cast button is not working.
Nvidia cards are mostly working fine these days as long as you’re not using Wayland. If you’re using Wayland, be prepared to encounter lots of minor annoyances, and perhaps some bugs that completely break your workflow depending what you’re using Linux for (e g. on server you don’t have to deal with sleep issues, but in desktop it’s an annoyance while on laptop it might be a deal breaker).
I don’t think you’ll miss anything. If pihole works for you, then there is no need to switch to adguard.
One thing I found helpful is configuring my router (asuswrt-merlin) to transparently route all dns request to my adguard instance. You might already heard that some apps and IoT devices tried to be clever and hard-coded their dns server so they can evade dns blocking (I’m looking at you Netflix). If your router support redirecting all dns request to a custom dns server, definitely use it!
Sounds great! By the way, if you’re using docker, be careful not to accidentally have a container open a port on all interface. Even if you have a firewall configured on the machine, sometimes docker can punch a hole without you knowing. Might be a good idea to run a port scan from an external computer from time to time just to makes sure no unwanted open ports.
You could unsubscribe from those meme communities and then use “all” view whenever you’re in the mood for some memes, and your “subscribed” view won’t be drown with memes.
Given how active those meme communities right now, chance that the “all” view in your instance are being dominated by memes anyway, so it’s not like you’ll have to subscribe to see them.
Unfortunately, I can’t say for sure if your instance will reliably get the deletion requests and process them. I did a small test to see how deletion works a few days ago and it doesn’t seem to propagate reliably as the deleted comment is still up in another instances, even now, though other instance such as lemmy.world seem to delete it. Not sure where it went wrong either, could either a bug, instances get overloaded and didn’t receive activitypub message correctly, or OP’s instance was improperly configured, but I sure hope it’s just an isolated incident.
Like I said before, If this still worries you, you can just delete older image files in the pictrs directory every few months to make sure you don’t host user-uploaded files for too long.
If you look at the chart, pretty much nothing comparable to the same period last year. January 2023 is a lot higher than January 2022 for example. July 2023 is also higher than July 2022.
Some people say manually purging the activity table for entries older than a week or so should be safe enough.
I just checked my AMD box and tailscale there can consume ~15% of cpu time when the tunnel is under active use. When it’s not used it’s ~1.5%. But it’s a low power old AMD cpu though (AMD G-T56N), so I’m not use if it compares to Ryzen 5. On my intel machine, it’s ~5% when under active use, and idle at ~0.5%.
