I remember when minio just started and it was small and easy to run. Nowadays, it's a full-blown enterprise product, though, full of features you’ll never care about in a homelab eating on your cpu and ram.

Garage is small and easy to run. I’ve been toying with it for several months and I’m more than happy with its simple API and tiny footprint. I even run my (static html) blog off it because it's just easier to deploy it to a S3-compatible API.

Specifically, use home.arpa, if you must use a private domain.

There’s a whole bunch of “it loses all your data” bugs in OpenZFS too, ironically, although it’s way way less fragile than btrfs in general.

That said, the latter is pretty much solid too, unless you do raid5-like things.

FWIW that java app isn’t much memory hungry and it's not cpu-intensive at all. There are no issues with running java apps at all if you spend 5 minutes figuring the basix flags on how to set the memory limits or run it in a memory-limited cgroup via some containers runtime.

I run k3s in my homelab as a single node cluster. I’m very familiar with kubernetes in general, so it's just easier for me to reason with a control plane.

Some of the benefits I find useful:

  • ArgoCD set to fire and forget will automatically update software versions as they happen. I use nix to lower the burden of maintaining my chart forks. Sometimes they break, but
  • VictoriaMetrics easily collects all the metrics from everything in the cluster with very little manual tinkering, so I am notified when things break, and
  • zfs-localpv provides in-cluster management for data snapshots, so when things do break I can easily roll back to a known good state.

k3s is, of course, a memory hog, I'd estimate it and cilium (my CNS of choice) eat up about 2Gb ram and a bit under one core. It's something you can tune to some extent, though. But then, I can easily do pod routing via VPN and create services that will automatically get a public IP from my endless IPv6 pool and get that address assigned a DNS name in like 10 lines of Yaml.

IIRC they demonstrated an interaction with Siri where it asks the user for consent before enriching the data through chatgpt. So yeah, that seems to mean your data is sent out (if you consent).

That's exactly my point, though.

It absolutely does. Think of lemmy like of email – your mail server has all the email you received.

Looking at the resource usage of mine, a tiny cheap VPS for $4/mo would be enough, sans the image store. But it's not a hard requirement unless you expect to have lots of local communities posting pictures.

Lemmy's issue is that it's non-trivial to deploy and oftentimes painful to upgrade.

If you drop the projector, then airpods already do it better when paired with the watch. There's no point in such a device at all, then.

Is there anything interesting at all reported in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg?

I did ran out of pcie, yeah :-( the network peaks at about 26gbit/s, which is the most you can squeeze out of pcie 3.0 x4. I could move the nvmes off the pcie 4.0 x16 (I have two m2 slots on the motherboard itself), but I planned to expand the nvme storage to 4x SSDs and I’m out of the pci lanes on the other end of the fiber either way (that box has all x16 going to the gpu)
