Cron job too complicated, just buy one of those timed light controllers to power off the server every night for an hour.

Yup

Convince one of your Asian friends to run a mirror and sync everything to them if possible.

Here is a somewhat simplified explanation

When you are registering a domain you are essentially just creating a NS record:

mydomain.com NS <nameserver ip or name>

Then when a resolver is asked a question like what is the A record for myserver.com it goes and asks the tld server (.com) what is the NS record for mydomain.com. the tld then responds with the nameserver ip. Then the resolver will query the nameserver directly for the A record of mydomain.com

In practice there is a ton of caching going on here, but that’s the broad strokes

I’ve been running sid on my personal laptops for more than a decade. Can’t imagine doing anything else

Assuming an 8 hour working day that means your Internet is around 20Mbps?

That’s pretty slow imo. IIRC the standard for broadband Internet in the US is 100mbps.

At 100Mbps you should be able to download the game in about an hour and a half.

I don’t know anyone cares, but I was curious about the math sorry

It costs cloudflare basically nothing to host free customers ( if you start to push real traffic you will get an instant call from sales). By being a free customer you are basically a guinea pig for all new features as they are rolled out globally.

They added a shorts limit though. It prevents you from watching more than 15 minutes of shorts a day. Experimentally afterwards it seems to recommend slightly fewer shorts in your feed.

It’s a piece of infra for a pretty big company.

rust_analyzer takes 16GB of ram though so good luck actually working on a rust project

(Semi kidding, the project I work on is very big)
