Interesting, that’s definitely not what I’m seeing from regular use. Are you running any added applications? LDAP? SSO? External mounts?

Are you looking at data rates or IO operations? Because this is almost exclusively stat queries, i.e. inode queries.

Oh yeah, CPU usage is basically zero, and memory usage of the PHP code itself is also basically nil compared to other software I run. It’s just the sudden storms of IO requests that causes issues, and since those come over a network pipe it causes issues for other pieces of software as well.

Again, it works until it requires reloading, i.e. the next update of any component or the next restart of the server.

I’m also running an inode cache on the client side, on top of the persistent opcache, but due to the sheer number of files that Nextcloud consists of it still generates a frankly ridiculous amount of calls when it needs to invalidate the cache. If you’re running on local drives then that’s likely much less of an issue, regardless of what kind of drive it is, but this is hosted on machines that do not have any local storage.

Yep, those values are actually somewhat tame compared to my own cache tuning, the issue remains that the code requires reloading PHP files from disk during runtime in order to support applications and updates, which - even if it doesn’t happen often - causes IO storms that temporarily break both Nextcloud as well as other software.

Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it’s PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.

All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.

They actually did a study on it after rolling back to Windows, and it turned out to not have failed due to technical difficulties at all.
If I recall correctly they stated that something like 80-90% of all issues reported during the period were due to badly designed processes - processes which were the same as in Windows, and the number of technical issues actually dropped.

Certainly, the fact that Microsoft promised to build a fancy new HQ in the city if they switched back to Windows can’t have had anything to do with the choice to roll back…

Thank you so much, especially for the private instance improvement.

It’s sad when it’s revealing that ~80% of all traffic to my home instance is garbage.

Default block for incoming traffic is always a good starting point.
I’m personally using crowdsec to good results, but still need to add some more to it as I keep seeing failed attacks that should be blocked much quicker.

10-20% of year-over-year revenue is the going rate.

Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.

If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.

Been enjoying Aloft, a pretty cozy exploration/survival game about restoring the environment of various floating islands.

Also started working my way through Disco Elysium.

MS Outlook is the joke.

I just do the Swedish accent thing and pronounce it forge-yo (like in yo-yo, not the greeting proclamation)

Been enjoying a Logitech MX Master 3S myself, it’s definitely a nice mouse to handle, but it’s also not something that could be called particularly small.

GitLab has been working on support for ActivityPub/ForgeFed federation as well, currently only implemented for releases though.

Mercurial does have a few things going for it, though for most use-cases it’s behind Git in almost all metrics.

I really do like the fact that it keeps a commit number counter, it’s a lot easier to know if “commit 405572” is newer than “commit 405488” after all, instead of Git’s “commit ea43f56” vs “commit ab446f1”. (Though Git does have the describe format, which helps somewhat in this regard. E.g. “0.95b-4204-g1e97859fb” being the 4204th commit after tag 0.95b)

I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.
