One of the real downsides of ARM is, it seems, the relative lack of standardization. An x64 kernel? It'll run on most anything from the last ten years at least. And as for boot process, it's probably one of two options (and in many cases one computer can boot either legacy or EFI).

ARM, on the other hand...my raspberry pi collection does one thing, my Orange Pi does something else, and God help you if you want to try swapping the Orange kernel for the Raspberry (or vice versa)!

I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, "wow college kids think they're really clever don't they?", and I was asked, politely, to cease.

I felt like a bit of a dick after that.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5533vs3904vs4922/Apple-M2-Ultra-24-Core-vs-Intel-i9-11900K-vs-Apple-M2-8-Core-3500-MHz

Benchmarks are of course just benchmarks, but the single-core performance is better for the M2, and the range-topping M2 is about 2x faster than the i9.

Also, regardless of how something compares, if it is ever memory-bandwidth bound, then faster RAM should help. While most tasks may be CPU or IO bound, AFAIK there can still easily be memory bound tasks in real-world workloads.

I picked the i9-11900k for comparison since I think that was the last one to only support DDR4 (making it "DDR4 era"). Ryzen maybe faster in the DDR4 era though?

"It's more performant than the old SODIMM sticks, vastly more efficient, it saves space, and it should even help with thermals as well. All that, and it's still about as repairable as anything we've ever seen," iFixit concluded.

Yes, there was a perfectly fine, upgradable memory standard before. And many 486s were also perfectly fine, upgradable computers.

The fact that a new technology makes it so we can have our cake and eat it too


upgradability without any compromise


is a fantastic innovation.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:

H|ψ> = E|ψ> + AI

Here, I have chosen the time-independent Schrödinger equation, to symbolize the fact that AI is the most important innovation of all time.

...

This is all bullshit of course. Everyone knows that the AI term should be included in the Hamiltonian anyway 🙄

Acoustic doesn't have a top tube...

Someone else pointed out Tailscale; I've had luck with free tier VPS+WireGuard.

I have an Oracle one which has worked well. Downside is I did link my CC, because my account was getting deactivated due to inactivity (even using it as a VPN and nginx proxy for my self hosting wasn't enough to keep it "active"). But I stay below the free allowance, so it doesn't cost.

That said: as far as anonymity goes, it's not the right tool. And I fully appreciate the irony of trying to self-host to get away from large corporations owning my data...and relying on Oracle to do so. But you can get a static IP and VPS for free, so that's something.

Does McDonnell Douglas count as Boeing?

Buying Twitter was, arguably, a consequence.

From article:

Paying people to develop features or fixing bug is fine, but when a huge number of contributors are paid by companies, this lead to poor decisions and conflicts of interest.

I think this depends on the structure of the project though. The Linux kernel has a huge number of corporate contributors, but it seems to be doing ok.

This suggests nginx options to use re: hostname. Unsure of your nginx config...

403 Forbidden doesn't necessarily mean a bad login attempt. Are you sure that's the error? My troubleshooting steps would be to access directly (no nginx), and look at the logs for a successful login. Then, look try to login with nginx, and look at those logs (both access.log and error.log on nginx, and any/all logs from syncthing). Find out where the two cases diverge and go from there.

Does syncthing have a domain name specified? If it doesn't know its domain name it may work from IP directly but not via reverse proxy. Just a hunch.
