DDoSing cost the attacker some time and resources so there has to something in it for them.

Random servers on the internet are subject to lots of drive-by vuln scans and brute force login attempts, but not DDoS, which are most costly to execute.

Other efficiency benchmarks place Apple Silicon and AMD chips ahead of Intel chips:

I’ve donated to marcan to work on Asahi Linux, which gets upstreamed. That’s direct.

What has better performance per watt than M1 at a better price?

I didn’t pay a premium, I got a great deal.

The reverse engineering work was already complete, and all the containers I needed for ARM were available.

These have great performance per watt.

I host using an M1 Mac Mini using Fedora Asahi Linux. Installed easily, no problems. Fast and quiet!

I ran a Minecraft server for a while. Worked fine.

There are plenty of Linux containers available for ARM in part because a lot of developers want to run Linux containers within macOS on Apple Silicon.

That has had the effect improving the experience of running Linux directly on ARM servers.

All the hardware support for the Mac Mini is complete and working.

I’ve had no problems running Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac Mini.

He didn’t say he needed to make money farming.

Considering the database itself is relatively small, PostgreSQL could end up largely caching it in memory, so even hosting the DB on an HDD might not feel much slower.

As someone who has done e-commerce development and supports FLOSS and self-hosting, this is something I would outsource.

It’s complex, and you can’t really handle payments yourself anyway. That requires certification.

And people really don’t like it when their e-commerce is down and may able to quantify lost business due to an outage or bug in dollars or sense. It doesn’t feel great to realize something on your end resulted in hundreds of dollars of lost business.

If the business is very small, places like Shopify have cheap starter tiers.

Are you installing this for someone else?

Exactly what is the auto prompt you see?

HTTPS is real and tested.

Former professional email host here. Email is like 90% spam.

If want to spend your free time battling the ever evolving landscape of spam, enjoy.

Otherwise, work with a pro mail provider you trust.

As someone who has had a career in hosting: good luck.

Don’t forget backups, logging, monitoring, alerting on top of security updates, hardware failure, power outages, OS updates, app updates, and tech being deprecated and obsolete at a rapid pace.

I’m in favor of a decentralized net with more self-hosting, but that requires more education and skill. You can’t automate away all the unpleasant and technical bits.

Are Parity Flags legal in Florida?

If you use the AWS load balancer product or their certificates, they have access to the private key, regardless of whether you forward traffic from the LB to the container over HTTPS or not.

If you terminate the SSL with your own certificate yourself, Amazon still installs the SSM agent by default on Linux boxes. That runs as root and they control it.

If you disable the SSM agent and terminate SSL within Linux boxes you control at AWS, then I don’t think they can access inside your host as long as you are using encrypted EBS volumes encrypted with your key.

With what? HTTPS has to terminate the encryption somewhere and that place has to have the private key to do so.

CloudFlare is providing the same service here as all other hosts of HTTPS websites do.

It’s not who issues the cert that matters, it is who hosts it. Hosting it includes having the private key. You always have to trust your website host, full stop.

One of the services they provide is free SSL certificates. As part of that, they have the private key to decrypt the traffic. They aren’t trying to hide that— this is true of any service that hosts the SSL cert for your site.
