I’m using btrfs so I can add more drive on the fly. Saving myself from a headache. But I think bcachefs will make it infinitely easier.

For bcache, it is available in apt, I think. You just need to set the ppa. For bcachefs, I think you need to wait for 6.7 to land on Debian or compile it yourself.

In my case, it basically helps me improve random read significantly. My NVMe is fast, like 3GB/s in sequential and 500MB/s in random, but it’s only 120GB. By using it as a cache in a bcache system, once a random read is performed, the data will be copied from HDD to SSD and if the data is requested again the random read will happen from SSD instead of HDD.

Thus, using it to play modern gaming is actually do able. Game that requires fast random read, like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield.

As a lot of people in my og post mentioned, random is more important that sequential. Bcache by default disable sequential cache so you wont fill you cache to fast if a big data is being read, like watching movie, copying video, etc. That’s where Raid0 comes to the rescue. Having Raid0 with 2 drives basically double my sequential read and having 3 triples it.

The securest VPN is the one that you can control. I’ve been using OpenClash on my router, and if anything ever happen, I can just destroy the droplet on my VPS server.

Glasses.

Now I’m addicted.

It is. I believe it’s one of the best thing I install on my homeserver. All my family members are now using VPN, and have their tracker and ad blocked. Since I’m the one who managed the VPS, I can just destroy all the data in it in case anything went wrong.

So, can I open only one port on my torrent app and have all the incoming connections go through it? That’s neat. Clash supports port redirection, and I think I’ll use that feature. I will give you update.

I found this anime-trackers project on github, but it doesnt help, lol.

It’s a actually pretty capable device tho. It has s905x2 processor which is on par or better than RPi4.

I dont know if these devices are available worldwide, but we, Indonesian, have 2 cheap devices exactly for that. ZTE B860H V5 and HG680FJ. It’s like $10 without remote, and another $1 for the remote.

It came locked by one of our ISP, but you can easily unlock it and put anything you want in it. Linux, OpenWRT, or just regular Android TV. ROM choices are limitless.

Just another library.

It’s in Tor, and I’m impressed with all of the academic books they hold.

It’s the default, unfortunately. Most if not all Android phones come with Google Service pre-installed and any app can use the notification before Android 13.

Turn your notification off and do something else. It could be anything, the better version would be go outside and talk to other people.

However, just watching Youtube video from someone you like, still works. At the end of the day, online argument is not a real argument.
