You actually have a lot of options in this space. You can take the prefill engine of just about any LLM and turn it’s transformer into a classifier by lobotomizing out the decoder. You can also use a diffusion model on single pass to surprisingly competent result.
If Jeff looks easy enough to deploy by all means start there, but don’t discount the idea if Jeff sucks; you have a lot of options.
You could (and probably should) use a system-one style inference system for spam classification. Much cheaper and the structured output means it’s impossible to go rogue and curl some malware or whatever. It can absolutely misclassify but its output is programmatically structured and just ranks a pre-selected set of output tokens.
In your case that’s
Spam

MIT: I build my thing on top of your thing, it’s my thing now. I sell it, you have no rights.
GPL: I build my thing on top of your thing and your license forces me to distribute my thing under the GPL, including the source code.
There are legitimate arguments for both. Sometimes it sucks when proprietary things get built on top of MIT code but sometimes it takes money for innovation, and in the realm of code the world often benefits anyway by virtue of copycats or distillation.
+1 for pikvm. Expensive, but very powerful and very portable. My favorite part of them is their APL that lets me noninteractively, programmatically, interact with hardware buttons
I don’t understand what you’re proposing that nagios/chrck_mk doesn’t already do
Ubuntu and bad updates
This is the only drama in your list I’m not familiar with already. What/when did they last break?
I don’t understand, is suggesting someone write a 7 line bash script in a Linux forum post about using a cli downloader, unreasonable?
It would be more accurate to say they try and block the vpn providers and Tor exit nodes. In practice, they do have ~95% of Tor exit nodes blacklisted but major vpn providers it’s closer to 40%. Vpn providers go through a lot of effort to hide their exit traffic and it’s pretty simple to use a provider that has a reasonably robust cli to just rotate nodes until you find one that works
Connect
Test known-good video using yt-dlp
If fail, use vpn cli to connect to a new node
Reeat until success
If your provider let’s you connect to specific nodes you can even store the last-known-good and use it on first connect until it gets blacklisted, extending uptime considerably
I like the stable, but newer packages that Ubuntu offers, plus the first-party support you get from a lot of projects. I wish debian was the standard dpkg assumption for first-party support but it unfortunately is not. Ubuntu makes it pretty easy to build automation on top of that is good for 5+ years without touching.
Yes I have, admittedly it’s been about a decade but at the time I switched because getting hardware acceleration in chrome and Firefox was difficult on debian, trivial on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu server (headless)
Install pulse, x11, awesomewm.
Building the gui stack yourself on top of Ubuntu server gives you all of the debian/Ubuntu stability and issue searchability with none of the gnome/canonical cruft.
Very cool project!
What was the motivation to make it cross platform? On the Linux side I see immediate value but I’m struggling to understand the usecase for win/Mac.
For music enthusiasts plexamp is also basically unbeatable. I welcome the day open source catches up.
People shit on it but there’s a lot of good open-source tooling that supports it.
There are nist l1 profiles
Tutorials and guides for everything
etc
Part of being a good sysadmin is knowing when not to reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu has a lot of options for vetted, hardened, “other people’s wheels.”
Also, for posterity, the competent ones are running the headless, server version of Ubuntu. (As opposed to the bloated mess that is Ubuntu Desktop). The server version catches a lot of flack it doesn’t deserve.
Code rewrites are always going to have growing pains. Rewriting gnu-corrutils in rust is a noble effort.
Microvms or containers could give you external control of the networking. Then you would put whatever you want behind warp inside the warp container/vm.
+1 to this observation. I run zfs arrays at both home and work and it’s way more likely that your controller is flaking than you have that many simultaneous drive failures.
The unfortunate reality though is that you can’t trust the current copy of this data, even the snapshots, unless the restore passes a scrub post-restore.
If caddy is acting as a proxy for anything, you should not need to forward that port externally. Local host firewalls allowing traffic on your local network is sufficient.
Depending on your physical host layout you may be looking at an issue with nat reflection.
You have not given us enough about your topology to assist in troubleshooting.
It definitely can be disabled post-install but is much simpler to install without it at install-time, and has the added benefit of not pulling 2-5gb of other things that won’t be relevant to your use case. It’s not that the disk waste is that big of a deal, but any issues you run into will be that much easier to troubleshoot with fewer moving parts.
I have nothing to contribute; I’m scared of used drives. Interested to hear who folks have had good luck with though.
