That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!

Yes.

Anti-DDOS, eh?

You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective… Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP’s upstream(s) )#

Not a clue.

Maybe they like the pretty dashboard pihole has.

I use vlans to work with it.

unbound as a DNS filter and resolver

Its… worked as a recursive resolver, with filtering/blacklist features for years now?

Cloudflare recently added that in the last year or so. Very nice features. In the past, I ended up using amazon SES to replicate that functionality.

Cheaper or not, isn’t a huge factor.

My really expensive sol-ark 12k cannot start my 110v air-compressor.

The issue is, the rated L.R.A. ie, locked rotor amps, how much current it takes to get it started.

My A/C motor, for example, uses around 20 amps @ 240v when running, ie ~5,000w. However, its L.R.A, is 112.0 amps @ 220v, ie- (24,640 watts). Which is more than the peak load my 12k inverter can handle. So- if you tried to start it on the inverter, well, it doesn’t work.

The same principle applies to anything with a motor.

You have to evaluate the L.R.A. Remember, if you have say, a 5,000watt RMS inverter, which can handle a 10k peak- its not going to be able to start something that has a 14,000 startup draw.

Eh,

When you have 50+ feeds, it has a lot of handy features.

Like… blacklisting posts with keywords/regex, tracking things in categories, etc… And- it has a TON of options for configuring things.

The ability to whitelist/blacklist certain posts is quite handy itself. For example- taking a feed like This one and being able to only grab the “update / releases”, and ignore all of the sales, giveaways, and other crap.

The uh, configuration options for the reader you linked are pretty limited in comparison.

Although, it does look nice, its missing the features to boot.

Not a huge deal, you can always transfer it.

yea… every modern IDE makes it extremely obvious of the unicode character…

SO… yea…

If you really wanted to be evil, zero-width space is the worst.

You don’t see it.

Looks correct to me.

Just, be prepared for things to randomly not work a few times a day.

As a developer, interacting with their APIs can be quite painful… as, things are frequently moving around, or temporarily unavailable.

If you are using longhorn in RWO mode, you shouldn’t have any issues as it passes block storage directly to the pod, via iscsi. No file/nfs storage involved.

Longhorn storage, ceph block, or other distribed BLOCK storage can help assist this issue.

The ups comes into play when you suddenly don’t have mains.

Hence, the name UPS, ie uninteruptable power supply.

I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.

Should be good for a few decades easily.

Wouldn’t call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

Vpn.

Openvpn or wireguard.

I don’t know about dedup, but, freshrss is pretty good for a self hosted solution.

I would recommend cloudflare.
