  • Serving audio files is pretty easy as long as you don’t have a million people trying to DL a new 5GB episode simultaneously.

    I wonder if that could be rate limited with some mechanism when OP blows up?

    I haven’t streamed audio to a server in a decades since I ran an internet radio station pre-napster. We were using ShoutCast servers paid for by IM Radio Networks (now defunct) then. All we had to do was pay for ASCAP/SEASAC,BMI, SOCAN etc license coverage. It wasn’t a podcast tho, but rather 24/7 broadcast. With few thousand people tuning in every day, we ate up some serious bandwidth I can tell you.

  • I used the output from powertop --html

    Noted.

    It’s not like I’m running big enterprise equipment that dims the lights every time I power it on, but when I’m snoring in bed at night, other than a few crons that run, I don’t see a need for the server to be at max. I want to cut out as much wasted power consumption as possible, even if it’s just a little here and a little there. It all adds up. It’s something I’ve been noodling around with for a bit, but if I were to make a new years resolution for the homelab, I’d like it to use the least amount of power, while not creating a lot of hindrances when I am engaging with the server.




  • Every so once in a while I get the notion to run a honeypot, but it doesn’t seem prudent for me to attract that much attention to my network. I can already see the traffic using ntopng, and pfsense/unbound/suricata/pfblockng and robust ruleset do all the heavy lifting. I block everything, then only allow what is absolutely necessary. If it were run solely on a small VPS or droplet, it’d be an interesting project, but I’m not sure I want to poke the bear that much on my local network.



  • The map you posted…that is a year of travel? You don’t get out much do you? LOL J/K If you were to track my travels, it’d be confined to 22 acres. I don’t get out much either. :)

    The project looks great tho, and congratulations on the success of your app. I’ve often wondered where independent devs get their multiple languages from. 9 languages supported is pretty huge. Do you have people contribute translations, or is there a more structured avenue?
