I host and use it as my default search on all devices. Bare metal deployment. The maintenance is pretty low, I just run the instance update script from to time.

Results have been worse lately, I think it needs some tuning in regards to weights and what engines are in use.

I’m guessing that pfBlockerNG is using the IPInfo database to query what IPs the ASNs own, so I think it would be required. ASNs are not static, so it wouldn’t make sense to ship a database of them, it would immediately be outdated.

I wrote this little webapp thing some time ago. It’s not exactly what you asked for but is a good example.

All it does is base64 encode a link and adds the server url in front of it. When someone visits that link it will redirect them to the destination. The intent is to bypass simple link tracking / blocking in discord and other platforms.

There are also checks for known bad domains and an attempt to remove known tracking query parameters.

Edit: I forgot to add it also blocks known crawlers (at least at time of writing) so that they can’t just follow the 302 and figure out where it goes.

Admittedly I’ve only used it with a preconfigured theme and no need for real customization. If you do need those features, I’d imagine the other commenters are correct.

I would also recommend Hugo, and believe it meets your requirements. The header markdown looks very similar to what you wrote, and it has tags. I’m not sure about a tag “cloud” the way you imagine it, but it’s worth looking into.

Neither of these are IDEs (nor is VSCode), but it’d be Zed and Neovim for me. Zed is fast and pleasant to use, but also will enshittify eventually. Debug support is in progress but not live. Neovim is fun and it’s nice to be more in control of what is going on, but I haven’t made the necessary progress to be productive in large projects with it yet. I was excited for Lapce but it fell short, had too many issues in a short time.

I have a storage VPS and use Borg backup with Borgmatic. In my case, I have multiple systems in different repos on the remote. There are several providers, such as hetzner, borgbase, and rsync.net that offer borg storage, in the event you don’t want to manage the server yourself.

I went through and built a license, then read through it.

I don’t think most of the things contained would be legally enforceable. We barely even have traditional open licensing that works, much less one that tries to enforce an ethical framework. Instead of this, we should work toward wide-reaching law that protects people’s rights, something that has teeth. Asking people to please not enslave someone with your library will never work, they will do it anyway or just not use your library, as they already do with copyleft licenses.

Have you been wronged by njalla?

I think having an external owner is preferable.

I know you said consumer GPU, but I run a used Tesla P40. It has 24 GB of vram. The price has gone up since I got it a couple years ago, there might be better options in the same price category. Still, it’s going to be cheaper than a modern full fat consumer gpu, with a reasonable performance hit.

My use case is text generation, chat kind of things. In most cases, the inference is more than fast enough, but it can get slow when swapping out large context lengths.

Mostly I run quantized 8-20B models with the sweet spot being around 12. For specialized use cases outside of general language, you can run more compact models. The general output is quite good, and I would have never had thought it was possible 10 years ago.

ETA: I paid about $200 USD for the P40 a couple years ago, plus the price for a fan and 3d printed shroud.

I would do FDE yeah. My current laptop setup is with systemd-boot and a special initramfs that allows me to unlock it with a yubikey, with fallback to password. Fair warning, this exact configuration is not particularly easy to setup.

There are also modules which enable early network connectivity along with a SSH server, meaning you login and unlock it remotely. I have not tried this.

Debian does not frequently require rebooting under normal circumstances. Kernel updates are not that frequent, and you can usually put it off for a bit if you don’t want to deal with it.

I tried to replicate this in KDE (wayland).

pynput has no effect on wayland, which I figured. I then enabled ibus wayland to type unicode points with ctrl+shift+u, but everything came out as expected. So I think it is related to the xorg backend of pynput.

Yup, I think it’d work fine, especially if you want the ability to easily inspect individual items.

Any of the popular python yaml libraries will be more than sufficient. With a bit of work, you can marshal the input (when reading files back) into python (data)classes, making it easy to work with.

I would scrape them into individual json files with more info than you think you need, just for the sake of simplicity. Once you have them all, then you can work out an ideal storage solution, probably some kind of SQL DB. Once that is done, you could turn the json files into a .tar.zst and archive it, or just delete them if you are confident in processed representation.

Source: I completed a similar but much larger story site archive and found this to be the easiest way.

Congrats! I just got a similar running on Arch with a 5700 XT. When I looked at it a couple years ago, it wasn’t really possible. Now, smooth sailing.

Yeah, you can turn off registration without a token. Then, if you want someone to register you can issue them a registration token, or manually create their account.

Federation can be turned on, on a case by case basis.

You can set rooms to invite only and not discoverable. Alternately, you can use an invite-only space that allows users to join rooms from there.

The first two parts are done in the server config, see the synapse docs. The last is done once the server is setup and running as an admin.

To start small setup a static website behind nginx. This requires you to create a basic website or copy a template, it goes somewhere in your filesystem, in linux /var/www is common. Once you have that, setup the nginx service and point it to that location. You can do this locally then expose it to the net or put on a VPS. Here is a dead simple guide presuming you have a remote server: https://dev.to/starcc/how-to-deploy-a-simple-website-with-nginx-a-comically-easy-guide-202g

Once you have that covered, ensure you know how to setup ssh keys and such, then install, configure, and run services. From there, most things are easy outside of overly complicated configurations.

I happened across this tool to help you create configs, it looks pretty good, easier than piecing together all the parameters separately: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/nginx

Seems like it has directions for certbot and generating dhparams, etc. as well.

For something like that, you’d want a VPS with 2-4 cores, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD. Any less and you’ll start to run into problems when adding bridges and stuff.

So, it’s really a matter of what deals you can find in that bracket, and if you care about the geographical region it’s hosted in. Usually https://lowendtalk.com/ is a good place to start looking at options.

I think what you have is fine, and wouldn’t worry about it too much.

That said, I run unbound with pi-hole, directing the dns queries through a wireguard tunnel. It’s a bit slower, but I do like having my own recursive DNS, especially with news that more and more services are implementing DNS level blocking.
