Responded to @kasparsd:

Well, looks like it didn’t pull in any new content over night.

Responded to @zrail:

@zrail That’s lower than I expected. I have my UPS draw additional 15W on top of the 30W from NAS https://kaspars.net/blog/powerwalker-vi-500-r1u

A 10W source in a 20x20x20in box gives you 6.6W per m2 or 0.33W/m2 at dT=20K which is achievable with 4in of pretty much any insulation board.

Responded to @zrail:

@zrail all the power used by the gear is dissipated as heat so you could build an insulated box to house just the gear and it should keep it warm enough. Do you know the total power consumption?

Used the public JSON activity feed from Mastodon to pull in toots into my WP site as a custom post type https://kaspars.net/notes

Doesn’t support images, yet. Should be relatively easy to implement. #PESOS

Noticed that #ActivityPub plugin for WordPress added a new reply to comments feature two weeks ago which started enqueueing 2MB of Javascript on all single post views. Created a pull request to fix that https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/706

Responded to @janboddez:

@janboddez Thanks for sharing this! Which Micropub app are you using? I can’t seem to find anything for iOS.

Responded to @kasparsd:

@janboddez I wonder if I could extend it to also pull in content from Mastodon… just purely to use the Mastodon apps for publishing instead of WP admin.

Responded to @kasparsd:

@janboddez Haha, I assume it is this https://jan.boddez.net/wordpress/share-on-mastodon 🤦‍♂️

@janboddez How are you posting Notes https://jan.boddez.net/notes to Mastodon and then capturing their URLs?

Responded to @janboddez:

@janboddez There are a few individuals and companies who are batch-submitting “vulnerability reports” that rely on DB read access. Plugins storing any kind of secrets in WP options are all targeted.

I do understand the benefits of encrypting those secrets but that would require asking site owners to update wp-config.php which is the only “safe” place to store secrets in WP. Imagine each plugin asking for its own constant…

Something enabled the default webserver on ports 80 and 8081 of our home QNAP NAS which prevented the my reverse proxy container from starting on the same port. Maybe enabling home folders does this?

Responded to @kasparsd:

If only I could count 😅 — it is clearly 6 full days which brings it to 6.6Wh / 6 days / 24h = 0.046W or 12mA@3.7V on average.

It took 5 days for my Heltec Lora v3 #meshtastic router node to use up 6.6Wh of one 18650 cell at 5% air utilization rate (one telemetry message per minute). That brings it to 6.6W / 5days /24h or 0.055W (15mA@3.7V) on average.

Importantly, this node was also powering a #INA219 sensor which was doing the power measurements every minute.

Now I'll be doing a reference measurement without the INA219 and with zero telemetry.

Responded to @adingbatponder:

@adingbatponder It relies on the Web Serial API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_API so you could check the browser console for any errors or warnings.

Finally added a basic dark mode to my 10 year old hand-rolled WordPress theme with no CSS post-processing.

Responded to @kasparsd:

Turns out `tar` can’t incrementally update encrypted archives (makes sense), and it also can’t update an unencrypted archive with just the changes so you’re responsible for ensuring the full chain or snapshot archives which isn’t feasible.

Block-level snapshots are nice, though. The network transfer is more consistent when compared to file level transfers.

Has anyone tried backing up #homelab LVM snapshots using `tar –listed-incremental` to a network attached samba share? https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/Incremental-Dumps.html

I’m comparing that to an older version of #restic which doesn’t support compression, yet.

Couldn’t get the #beelink EQ12 (n100 CPU) to run from a 30W PoE splitter and a TP-Link TL-SG108PE switch. The cheaper 12V/1.2A splitters would actually turn off while this one stayed on and wouldn’t boot. Didn’t have a monitor to check the console output.

“Nearly the entirety of every Mastodon server, every post, every reply, is ephemeral. When a Mastodon server shuts down, all its posts disappear from the surface of the web, forever.” — that’s why #POSSE is so great! https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://tantek.com/2024/046/t1/the-ephemeral-web

Here is a hot take — instead of investing in AI, @mozilla should be selling hosting services, domains and email hosting, and stay true to the open web stack. Imagine how well you could pair those with Firefox similar to how Chrome does. https://mozilla.social/@mozilla/111896572632380551
