I sometimes pipe journalctl into lnav, but it never works quite as well as i really want…

lnav is pretty cool and does mostly what you are describing.

uuhhh maybe here? https://lnav.org/

lol. I love it.

At first, absolutely. Very frustrating, kept feeling the pull back you-know-where. But then after a while, it became kind of a zen thing, if i’m using that word properly? It gives me time to breath a bit, rather than just doom scrolling at an increasing rate.

Maybe kind of part of the Lemmy Ritual? Maybe I’m strange.

I found a used HP business small form factor i5 6th or 7th gen intel for very cheap, slapped a few SATA drives in the thing, and one of the M.2 Coral TPUs.

it is running 20-30% CPU load with 6 cameras on it - but they standard HD - I pumped one at 4k, and it loaded up much higher, so I scaled back to all 1080p or less. The TPU doesn’t even hit 1% from what i’ve seen. I should probably load a better TFLite model. Nothing mission critical - mostly a novelty.

not the most power efficient setup.

There are lots of them out there.

For example passmark is one of many.

passmark

I just go find my CPU and use the number to compare to eBay listings. Is it perfect? No.

But it gives you an idea. Each site has some set of algorithms and they get a score for how quickly it can execute on that hardware.

Some of them they allow users to run their system and submit numbers so you get a better sense.

I’ve tried a few of the things you mention over the years.

However, I’ve lately gotten into the used business PCs. The performance of even a 6th get Intel CPU more than double an RPI4 or the ATOM in my NAS, depending on how you count. Sure, it’s quite a bit more power, and they have their place (RPI in the garage), but I’ve gotten a few SFFs that have room for multiple HDs for like $50-$60 shipped, as long as i’m patient, since I don’t care for the windows license.

The CPU benchmark sites are what convinced me that more SBCs was not the solution for me.

I also tell myself that i’m recycling what could have been ewaste otherwise. I am afraid to calculate the energy cost.

I had this same problem. I kept changing it in my instance setting on the website and pulling my hair out that it didn’t take.

I eventually found there was a separate setting in my app. Not intuitive but I got there.

Look for the alternate settings. Mine wasn’t even in the main client settings, it was the per instance setting, but in the client.

Thanks Bot!! that was awesome.

For what it’s worth, NFS in my experience is also faster. I had a very similar use case (but QNAP instead of Sinology) and switched everything over to NFS and saw performance gain. Little things like previewing IP Camera security footage would feel slow on SMB, but snappier on NFS. I’d gotten over the user thing, but the speed is why I switched.

I did eventually wipe QNAP’s software in favor of stock Debian – but the prevailing wisdom seems to say Sinology’s OS is pretty good.

I was wondering about this. What is the right etiquette? It’s not the same as multiple channels on the same server. But at the same time - supply side? Or consumption side?

Should clients filter them out? Do we need a way to “merge” on a per post basis?(or link or relate or…)

It is an interesting concept to ask. I don’t have a good answer.
