An alternative could be something like a thinkcentre tiny m700 with a sixth gen i5. It can be found at that price and it's possible to replace the wifi card with a 2.5 gig Ethernet. Then use opnsense or openwrt x86. Mine with opnsense uses 6 watts of power.
But it was such an hassle to properly configure it that if I had to do it again in the future I would just buy the basic Unifi dream machine (costs the same) and have everything done automatically by the easy gui
I don't think it would do something in this case, probably those ads are served by the same domains mixed with the real video
UPDATE: after some days, the bill under https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?region=us-east-1#/bills is populated in much detail. Now it's much clear.
With rclone, my test sending 131 files / 2500 mb, set to don't do upload chunking and don't do HEAD on glacier created:
I think now i can safely upload everything and it shouldn't be too expensive
not sure about rhel idm, never personally tried, but for my home (3 users at most) for AD i'm using win server core in a vm with just 1 assigned core and just 1 gb ram, no issues with dns
before i was using samba 4 and it was even more lightweight
For home use (=1-2 concurrent users at most) you can run ad server + DNS + DHCP on an atom d510 with 1 gb of ram (need an override command to install win server core with 1 gb of RAM), dual xeons even if a decade old it's overkill
Or samba 4 ad on rpi 1 with 256mb ram
S3 glacier definitely bills API calls, and are relatively expensive
From this page, which feels designed to be confusing and unreadable on mobile: PUT, COPY, POST, LIST cost $0.05 for each 1.000 calls. So if you upload 100k files each week that's $5. Same if the program asks detail on each file to see if it's updated or not
This user for example missed that part and got an expensive lesson https://noellh.com/blog/rclone-to-s3-glacier/
created new account in https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/organizations/v2/home/accounts
for some reason got another 12 months of free usage (which was expired on my account)
waited 3 minutes to get the aws account id, before it wasn't appearing
delegated new account in https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/lens/organization-settings/add-account?region=us-east-1
had no idea about the password, tried to get details on user, it complained that "AWS Account Management trusted access is not enabled"
enabled it here https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/organizations/v2/home/services/AWS%20Account%20Management
still have no idea how to access this new account, i don't know the password, they only sent me a welcome email
For example, thanks to the helpful graphs at backblaze, I immediately noticed a lot of expensive "class C" api calls, which i minimized by optimizing the cronjob to account for the daily reset and telling rclone to avoid HEAD requests. So after just ta few days I noticed the problem and corrected it. If I did the same on AWS, I would have noticed it only at the end of the month, an expensive lesson.
those "security filters" are the worst, a few years ago vodafone with their "rete sicura" was blocking githubcontent and it was a nightmare to have them disable the service for me, the operator was like "but this is a free premium service that protects you"
someone was hosting phishing on that domain and they took a nuclear bomb approach. Unfortunately, all unlock requests are probably routed to /dev/null
If I understood right they just want any name and any password for the parents mode
But you got the apk for the Chinese market, which is usually ad supported, plus the language barrier
It's old fashioned and maybe difficult to setup initially but I really like munin
