What Usenet provider/s did you end up using?

US tech wages are just nuts. In the UK I'm basically maxed out for a non-London based software dev at about £70k (~$87k). Meanwhile I have a friend who has managed to land a job with a London based US tech firm on about £120k (~$150k) which is massive for here but reading this is still a long way off what is possible.

It seems the majority of the torrents with poor seeder count are in the 1.5TB+ range. I just simply don't have the storage for that. Most everything in the 0-300GB range is pretty well covered.

Reads nice but your docs are 404'ing so I can't investigate much :D

EDIT. Found it. You've got a '.com' instead of a '.io'.

Mastodon doesn't just use storage for local image uploads. It pulls, thumbnails and saves images from any incoming posts, including the thumbnails you might see on website links (pulled from the opengraph data most websites implement)

It's possible to set a pretty short timeout for that data though.

Oh yes. But I felt the attribution helped bridge the Canadian gap.

That's what I was after but I guess the "translator" did me dirty. It's a direct replacement for "fuss"

😉 It's meme's all the way down.

I looked into Proxmox briefly but then figured that since 99% of my workload was going to be docker containers and I'd need just a single VM for them it made no sense to run it.

So that's what I did. Ubuntu + Portainer and a shed load of stacks.

Mmm. The issue in this case is that it appears it's only beehaw communities that do it. Everything else is working fine.

I've unsubbed/subbed quite a few times now. No change :(
