Very cool! I’m going to check it later!

Also, an interesting thing is using systemd-resolved for DNS-over-TLS or hosts blocking.

I configure it to my nextdns account and podman uses it for all requests, so I can block dns records from anywhere and use some tracking, mining, NSA, minimum domain age, etc, blocklists.

I got corrected some time ago about this, it seems it’s possible, but not advisable. Like, if zram started, zswap will disable itself.

If you want to test zswap, you could create a swap file, disable systemds zram service and put the zswap variables into the kernel variables, also checking if swappiness is at the normal values, instead of the tuned ones for zram.

Yeah, I used zram on the past, it’s really good, but some OOMs and stutters under high memory pressure made me change to zswap with lz4, it’s a very intelligent cache for these high memory use scenarios. But mounting a directory directly to memory is a very needed feature for zswap hahaha.

I can see it consuming a bit more, yes, but i didn’t measure it to know for sure.

My E5-2667 v4 (8 cores, higher frequency) using almost nothing of energy while watching some asmr on freetube and responding:

Edit: it has a higher tdp than the 2650 v4, and has 16gb of ddr4 ram

mainly the v4 (comparing to other server cpus)

It consumes less energy than the other server cpus from intel that are generally available.

If you want a lot of cores, there are xeon kits on aliexpress and other websites, xeon e5-2650 v4 or v3 has a lot of cores and consume very few energy, mainly the v4 (comparing to other server cpus), it has a lot of pci express lanes, etc.

On the vpn/proxy idk, I think the bots would pass through it.

There are some nginx blocklists like the ultimate bad bot blocker, I could share my Cloudflare rules if you want it, as these are rules, it can be abstracted to anywhere.

I run my instance using cloudflare tunnels, directly from my thinkpad (over wifi), these tunnels are helpful because you don’t need to open ports, etc, also, there are other tunneling options, like hosting a server on a VPS that tunnels to your own selfhosted server, as there are some alternatives to cloudflare in that aspect.

Idk, might be an option.
