Hoping for another Moonlight/Sunshine moment! Already running Vaultwarden, rbw, and Keyguard. Just need a simple FOSS browser extension for autofill and editing entries.

For context, Moonlight was created first as a FOSS Nvidea gamestream client. Then Sunshine was created as a FOSS server implementation. Later, Nvidia dropped “official” support, now the two projects are a FOSS stack built atop a formerly proprietary protocol.

Writing this from my Fairphone 5 running postmarketOS (Linux).

Biggest downside right now is no phone calls, but that’s being worked on.

Yes, or like we saw in the demo, someone’s arm disappears, a ball becomes a blurry shapeless blob, and many others.

This tech is the same tech that powers other ““Generative AI””, meaning exact the issues with asking for a hand and getting one with 7.5 fingers can now happen in real time, in video games supporting DLSS 5.

It is straight up an AI slop filter over top of a game. There’s not much more to say about it.

Hell yeah! 10x speed improvement for free!

What I’m noticing more, is that you can keep a consistent 11.4MB/s, this feels relatively close to what you’d usually pull through a 100mbit/s link (after accounting for overhead). If that’s the case, it shouldn’t matter how the NFS client decides to chunk the data, for how much throughput there is to the NAS. Which means you’re looking at a broken NFS server that can’t handle large single transmissions.

If it’s not the case, and you’ve got a faster network link, it seems that the NAS just can’t keep up when given >2gb at once. That could be a hardware resource limitation, where this fix is probably the best you can do without upgrading hardware. If it’s not a resource limitation, then the NFS server is misbehaving when sent large chunks of data.

Basically, if your network itself (like switches, cables) isn’t broken, you’re either dealing with a NAS that is severely underspecced for what it’s supposed to do, or a broken NFS server.

Another possibility for network issues, is that your proxmox thinks it has gigabit (or higher), but some device or cable in between your server and NAS limits speed to 100mbit/s. I think it’d be likely to cause the specific issues you’re seeing, and something like mixed cable speeds would explain why the issue is so uncommon/hard to find. The smaller buffers more frequent acknowledgements would sidestep this.

Do note I am also not an expert in NFS, I’m mostly going off experience with the “fuck around and find out” method.

Sounds like a band-aid fix to a completely different problem. If NFS is timing out, something is clearly broken. Assuming it’s not your network (though it could very well be), it’s likely the Synology NAS. Since they’re relatively closed devices afaik, I sadly can’t help much in troubleshooting. And sure, dumping 25GB on it all at once is heavy, but it should handle that, being a NAS.

The exact numbers for when it messes something up, but keeps running, are unknown and highly ubpredictable.

According to above post, about 10% of firefox crashes (more numbers found in the post) are caused by this stuff. It’s not unreasonable to say those crashes could’ve had the bitflip happen on content instead, changing maybe a character on the page or something.

Note that it’s not 10% of users, as that’s reslly hard to figure out. Someone with bad RAM will likely crash more often.

Simple stuff like a calculator can be just as broken by a bitflip as more complex things. You wouldn’t want your calculator to say 1 + 1 = 2049.

If you want to rely on your computer, ECC RAM is required.

Matrix (Synapse with Element) can be self-hosted for free, though they have optional paid plans for enterprises. The main goal of Matrix is federation (connecting with other servers), though this can be turned off completely. This is probably the most “business” look/feel you can get fully FOSS, if that’s what you’re looking for.

XMPP has more clients/servers, and is more for the technically oriented end user. I can’t really give recommendations here, as I haven’t extensively used XMPP.

Spacebar (formerly Fosscord) is a Discord clone (API compatibility as a goal) that can be selfhosted.

I use whatsapp for communicating with a few groups of people who are refusing to switch over. I’m not getting them to move, they’re a mix of tech illiterate, ignorant, or just unwilling. These groups have important annoucements in them, that I’m unable to receive any other way. Sometimes there’s just no way around services like these.

I do my best to protect myself (no proprietary facebook code ever runs on my main device), and keep personal information I provide to a minimum (as I don’t trust Facebook’s E2EE claims). There’s not much more I can do besides not receiving important announcements.

I’ve seen many default docker-compose configurations provided by server software that expose the ports of stuff like databases by default (which exposes it on all host interfaces). Even outside docker, a lot of software, has a default configuration of “listen on all interfaces”.

I’m also not saying “evil haxxors will take you over”. It’s not the end of the world to have a service requiring authentication exposed to the internet, but it’s much better to only expose what should be public.

UFW works well, and is easy to configure. UFW is a great option if you don’t need the flexibility (and insane complexity) that manually managing iptables rules offers,

The job of a reverse proxy like nginx is exactly this. Take traffic coming from one source (usually port 443 HTTPS) and forward it somewhere else based on things like the (sub)domain. A HTTPS reverse proxy often also forwards the traffic as HTTP on the local machine, so the software running the service doesn’t have to worry about ssl.

Be sure to get yourself a firewall on that machine. VPSes are usually directly connected to the internet without NAT in between. If you don’t have a firewall, all internal services will be accessible, stuff like databases or the internal ports of the services you host.
