I was looking for mini PCs with SFP+ and found a lot of fairly expensive small servers that were tempting. Then I got lucky and saw a new product coming out from minisforum, the MS-01, which had everything I needed at a much lower pricepoint.
I went with the 20 core intel i9-13900H but I think any of the three would have been fine for my needs.
#!/usr/bin/env -S bash -c "docker run -p 8080:8080 -it --rm \$(docker build --progress plain -f \$0 . 2>&1 | tee /dev/stderr | grep -oP 'sha256:[0-9a-f]*')" | |
# syntax = docker/dockerfile:1.4.0 | |
FROM node:20 | |
WORKDIR /root | |
RUN npm install sqlite3 |
Please note, it's easier to just use a recovery flash drive/dvd disk!
I just wanted a new challenge, and I found it:
My friend has switched from Windows to Fedora. Somehow in the process, Windows Bootloader went missing from EFI partition (I would love to know how did that happen as much as you do or don't, but I wasn't supervising at the moment, so... no idea)
This will result in a routable mesh network that can survive any one node failure or any one cable failure. Alls the steps in this section must be performed on each node
Using IPv6 to take advantage of not needing to use addresses - does make things simpler
aka what i did to get from nothing to done.
note: these are designed to be primarily a re-install guide for myself (writing things down helps me memorize the knowledge), as such don't take any of this on blind faith - some areas are well tested and the docs are very robust, some items, less so). YMMV

There is already a guide on scaling your Mastodon server up. This is a short guide on scaling your Mastodon server down.
I.e., maybe you want to run a small instance of <100 active users, and you want to keep your cloud costs reasonable.
So you might be running everything on a single machine, with limited memory and CPU. (In my case, I was using a t3.medium
instance with 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM.) How
do you do this?
Note that I'm not a Ruby or Sidekiq expert, and most of this stuff I figured out through trial and error.
