I had some 3x request that I did the math for fun on long running task, and at API price it would have been ~$260 that the in/out and cache. All that for $0.12.

> Is there anything FreeBSD can do that, say, Debian cannot?

Docker containers is a big one.

I was surprised to learn that they still replace the keyboard on m1 max when they service the battery. Probably you are due at this point. I just had mine done

I’m always surprised when I watch a video that is 9 minutes old and the sponsors segments get skipped automatically. That extension must be getting quite popular.

I’m surprised Google haven’t renamed Gemini yet since Bard. Usually they rename them a few times before shutting them down.

Vs code copilot extension the harness is not great, but Opus 4.5 with Copilot CLI works quite well.

True, just happened to one of my friend. 10 years old gmail account got suspended because he supposedly sent phishing emails. Which is completely false (he didn’t even understood what pishing was, he had google authenticator for totp). Ofcourse the appeal process was useless as no one reply to those. It’s been 2 months now. Own your domain.

Yes and No. The internet sees it as a datacenter ip and some will degrade the experience based on that. Other are more strict and use a service like ipinfo.io (the op) to know exactly which Ip are used by a VPN provider and block access based on that list.

If you ping it from UK and it ping >10ms then you know its there. And you are triangulating from multiple countries.

debian3 — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 13:03:26 +0000

I’m conflicted. I understand the concept that stolen goods should be returned and it’s the right thing to do, but at the same time it was centuries ago and the preservation was done by them. I have seen well preserved exposition in that museum and then you visit the original country where it’s from and they themselves have nothing or very little left from that era.

GS308EP or EPP if you need more power budget.

Netgear are hard to beat in terms of reliability/price. They also have a 5 and 16 ports fanless version.

I also got an old Juniper EX2200 24ports and replaced the fans with quiet noctua. It run quite hot, better go with Netgear.

When I read that someone disable password login (rightfully so), then they take additional steps to stop some bots to randomly brute force them with a password…

I just replaced the battery on my 13 mini (actually I got a brand new one since I still have Apple Care+ on mine and I did an express replacement). I’m good for an other 2 years.

New comment by debian3 in "Ask HN: As a developer, am I wrong to think monitoring alerts are mostly noise?"

debian3 — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:02:50 +0000

You learn pretty quick. Like CPU I don’t alert on it, I do on load average which is more realistic. I’m also solo dev, so I do it on the 15min avg and it need to be above a pretty high threshold 3 times in a row. I don’t monitor ram usage, but swap instead. When it trigger it usually something need to be fixed.

Also check for a monitoring solution with quorum, that way you don’t get bothered by false positives because of a peering issue between your monitoring location and your app (which you have no control over).

New comment by debian3 in "Migrating from AWS to Hetzner"

debian3 — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 12:00:48 +0000

Same here, been running dedicated servers with OVH since 2009, if anything bare metal server are more stable than before. I just replaced a set of servers that was from 2018, I didn’t have any hardware problems during their 8 years of working under significant load. During that time I had 2 or 3 power outages, a few more network outages. Usually problems come in a cluster. I had a few years that I had nothing to report, 100% uptime. Dedicated are nice, but I guess it scares people. Hetzner use lower hardware quality than OVH on some of their offerings, so your experience may vary. One of the most important thing is to check that your server use datacenter SSD/HDD with ECC ram, it saves you a lot of problems.

Still very poor. Not sure why they have so much trouble catching up. I would have expected them to by now. Cursor is still the best by far, followed by Windsurf (free by the way).

debian3 — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 01:23:56 +0000

Problem with the free plan is they cut you out of gemini 2.5 pro after a few request. So 1000 sound good, but most of it is with gemini flash 2.5.

If Gemini 3.0 is a good model, it could become a good offering.

debian3 — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 04:09:06 +0000

I also started with 3.1 as my very first linux experience. I never felt the need to change distro over the years. Just yesterday I upgraded 3 servers to debian 13, one from debian 11 and one from 12.

I wish I had more stories to tell, but that’s the thing I like about Debian.

For stuff like archive and backup you can use ovh object storage infrequent access. Comes to 5$ per GB but you pay for what you use only and it scale infinitely.
