old, stupid
yes!
so the way this works is, you only pay for the lift from your EC2 instance to the s3 bucket, then cloudfront serves the bucket directly to public, which is far cheaper than EC2-> public
i dont think ive even triggered the non-free tier of cloudfront yet.
saves me a ton on storage costs. the bucketing for the cdn is orders of magnitude cheaper to store/deliver than from the web server itself. this would be on amazon hosting.
just my 2 cents, if youre going to do raid, buy a thing that will do it…
a nas or enclosure where the hardware does all the heavy lifting. do not build raided system from a bunch of disks… i have had, and have had friends have many failures over the years from those home brew raids failing in one way or another and its usually the software that causes the raid to go sideways… mayvbe shits better today than it was 10-20 years ago.
its just off my list. i bought a bunch of cheap nas devices that handle the raid, and then i mirror those devices for redundancy.
yeah, re-encode to a lighter encoding like 264. might be slightly larger, but less work for the cpu
server. it was choking on decoding
i had this problem. i fixed it with a faster machine. same os, same files. more cpu worked.
email is one of the only services i just gave up on (after rolling my own exchange for over a decade). its too annoyingly complex, tedious to do correctly for just yourself. its not worth it.
whatever take it leave dont care, just my suggestion i standy by. have a nice day
ha, uh, that is what they do there. maybe go take a look before jumping to conclusions. they also have great privacy costs for those domains

pay for what you use
whats your budget?
with a NAS i tend to go with a commercial product, and only for that purpose. it stores the data, maybe serves it up as file server. thats the NAS one job.
my processing happens on another box, like your pi. i want the nas focused on its single purpose.
so my suggestion would be to pickup a netgear/synology whatever, but only use it as a nas.
if you want to expand that pi, just use a real machine and upgrade yourself to maybe a nice docker setup.
Recently, we’ve observed a substantial increase in AWS calls attributed to your plugin, prompting the communication you previously received as standard protocol for our company, but as mentioned earlier, we are committed to transparency and keenly interested in collaborating with you not only to optimize your plugin in alignment with our cost control objectives,
i get it; their amazon account gets hit hard by some plugin data stream, they trace the source and kill it for monetary reasons. makes total sense. handled terrible, but still, i also completely understand getting some giant bill from amazon and freaking the fuck out.
ha, thats great! i got a couple of old dell R920s mirrored for ha, they take foreeever to boot.
but those containers, damn i love bein able to slap those containers around like theyre nothing… most restart in seconds
openvpn is a decent standard, no reason it wont or shouldnt work.
seems like a lot of pis…ever thought of consolidating them into containers in a single box?
pihole is mature and very functional. i jumped in last summer, no regrets.
one of the benefits of things like docker is creating a very lightweight configuration, and keeping it separate from your data.
ive setup things so i only need to rsync my data and configs. everything else can be rebuilt. i would classify this as ‘disaster recovery’.
some people reeeeally want that old school, bare-metal restore. which i have to admit, i stopped attempting years ago. i dont need the ‘high availability’ of entire system imaging for my personal shit.
rsync is your friend. its ubiquitous.
dunno mail has kinda been off my list.
like taco bell… it always sounds good until youre just about finished and you realize what youve done to yourself
it was about communication. we want to struggle so hard against calling it something we dont want, its now labeled ‘difficult to describe’. which i find silly
docker, persistent shared storage
