I’m pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what’s going everywhere on the internet all at once?

I’m guessing if you have to pay the government, you can get government approval.

By Jupiter’s cock!

Hello Mess!

Most people do.

I also started getting way more once I moved from chrome to Firefox.

Sounds a bit like the topiary scene in The Shining. (Book version)

I’ve been very happy with Ubiquity Edgerouters the last few years. Their ER-X model can do 1Gbps total… So if you’re downloading at 500Mbps then you can upload at 500Mbps. It come in about USD 60 I think.

Next level up is the Edgerouter Lite 3. It is much beefier and can easily handle 1Gbps both ways and even faster. It’s just under $100. 99 or so. Maybe you can find it on special.

They are really prosumer and definitely much stabler than typical consumer routers. Eg I haven’t reset mine in more than 2 years.

It’s not open source like mikrotik but they are very hacker and tech use friendly. Most things work via CLI. And most advanced router functions are supported.

What do you want to do? How fast is your internet? 1Gbps fibre requires something much beefier than 50Mbps.

How many servers do you have going? Are people accessing them from outside?

How many people in your household? Are they gamers and need low latency? Heavy streamers? Working from home needing VPNs?

Without this context just look at a pricelist.

Man I remember when KDE came out and us young naive kids thought “this is it… It’s virtually identical to win95/98… But without the bsod”

I feel old.

Enshittification and masturbation.

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

I’m not one of these 2 arguing. But in general the app servers don’t do caching or state handling.

You cache things in a third external cache such as redis or memcached. So if a user connects to app server 1 and then to app server 2 they will both grab cachee info from redis. No extra db calls required. This has been the basic way of doing things even with old school WordPress sites forever. You also store session cookies in there or in the db.

And even if you weren’t caching externally like this, databases use up a lot of memory to cache tons of data. So even if the same query hits the db the second hit would probably still be hot in memory and return super fast. It’s not double the load. At least with postgres this is the case and it’s what Lemmy uses.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Have you checked your carbon monoxide alarm? Maybe it was you?

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

Yes this has been a game changer and would’ve been my advice too (but you posted before me).

Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it’s own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it’s own deluge, etc.

Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all… so I go to “movies.mydomain.net” and can use radarr… or “television.mydomain.net” and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.
