I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.

On the resilience from home batteries and solar though, watch out. Most systems will turn off in the event of a power cut. It’s something about avoiding back-feeding to the grid. If you want this you need to specifically get a system with an “emergency mode” or something like that.

This is going to be an experience!

Anyway I point new users at Linux Mint rather than Ubuntu now, but obviously everyone has their different opinions which is probably part of the problem. 🤷

I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.

Long live the non-big-tech Internet.

I quickly restarted the service from the platform but then it got killed again and I didn’t notice until this evening. I have now rebooted the server, maybe that will help until I get home from my camping trip with my kids.

For those who don’t care about my latest ADHD obsession, don’t worry I’m sure I’ll move on to a different one soon, and here’s a steam train…

A black narrow 2’ gauge steam train with people around it on the Brecon Mountain Railway. The plaque on the front says it was made in Philadelphia in 1930.

It’s the weekend! 🎉

> So consistent with the theme of this series, I found the oldest and slowest 2.5" hard disk (an IDE 40GB Fujitsu from 2004), random USB adapter and a powered USB 2.0 hub to connect up to my terrible server.

I like this idea of hosting web stuff at home with the most basic stuff you have lying around (see also http://home.wezm.net/~wmoore/cgi-bin/about.cgi). We need a name for such things. Someone needs to come up with something better than #DustyDrawerComputing or #TerribleServer @sam

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

You were correct about my vape batteries being 5-600mAh. I shall probably not be getting into NRF board development though, $40 is bonkers pricey for stuff like this!

Points will be given for amusing my 6 and 7 year old children and immense gratitude will be given if it stops them waking me up at 5am when it’s light early in the summer.

Occurences of swearing in the Linux kernel source code over time

There are some HTML validity issues I’m seeing if I put it through validator.w3.org that I will endevour to fix. Maybe it’ll help. 🤷
