Wow, it has already been 1 year away from nostr.
After improving my Grafana setup, I noticed thanks to the improved graphs and dashboards that my SSDs were being used way too much and the culprit was my nostr relay.
I overlooked a read-ahead option for the relay database, and it caused unnecessary reads that in turn causes unnecessary sync between SSDs (longhorn sync mechanism for replicated volumes). They were non-stop reading at 150MB/s, omg !!!

Had an interesting interaction with a cashier today.
This young man in his 20s was ringing people up. His voice and mannerisms were basically like Napoleon Dynamite.
In front of me, the customer sai...
I don't think most people have yet realized that most men in his age ARE in fact sad and lonely. It has become normal.
Call it how you want, find it ok or not, an excuse or not, it exists. It started as a dating crisis in Japan, now it's everywhere.

Online recommandation for SSDs are valid, I can hear my HDDs scratching non-stop since the initial sync finished.
Not sure what would cause so much activity on an empty unused freshly initialized electrum server.

It took between 20 to 24 hours and peaked at almost 2TB, before compacting to ~950GB. The pool is mainly HDDs with SSD cache, but I don't think that the cache helped much, for this amount of data.
I did not use lightmode and did not use "--address-search".

This guide will walk you through setting up your own Strfry Nostr relay on a Debian/Ubuntu server and making it accessible exclusively as a TOR hidden service. By the end, you'll have a privacy-focuse...
I would definitively use docker-compose to have strfry+tor in an easy to distribute package. Other than that, great work.

If I've understood correctly, the rule is that the maximum will be twice the bitcoind block storage, then it will compact.

I'm building a helm chart for a full Bitcoin stack: bitcoind, an explorer (+electrum) and lightning. What am I missing?
Starting from the blockstream repositories, but I could try to support mix and matches from different sources, if it gets any interest.
#helm #k3s #selfhosting #homelab #docker #bitcoin #lightning

Do any of you recommend NextCloud? Why? Why not? #SelfHosted #HomeLab
It is still the default cloud alternative for most people, very well documented and supported by almost any NAS OS.
I find it a bit slow, compared to other popular apps in other categories.
So yes, recommended.

Today’s episode: 'The Longhorn Sisyphean Struggle'
I’m trying to share a #Longhorn persistent volume across services in different namespaces. So far, it’s causing me more trouble than a Greek m...
I would use some kind of remote share if the same data should be shared across many apps.
Local storage isn't usually meant for shared data. But I can see why one want would want fast local shared data, that is something easy to do in non cloud native technologies, but it doesn't fit the cloud native mentality.
Maybe it's possible, let us know!

Helm is such a brittle piece of shit. The fucking VHS of managing Kubernetes workloads.
Fuck my life.
I like helm. Maybe I'm weird... Or I got past the beginning with many hours looking for some stupid error in my template.
