Are you looking at data rates or IO operations? Because this is almost exclusively stat queries, i.e. inode queries.
Just another Swedish programming sysadmin person.
Coffee is always the answer.
And beware my spaghet.

Oh yeah, CPU usage is basically zero, and memory usage of the PHP code itself is also basically nil compared to other software I run. It’s just the sudden storms of IO requests that causes issues, and since those come over a network pipe it causes issues for other pieces of software as well.
Again, it works until it requires reloading, i.e. the next update of any component or the next restart of the server.
I’m also running an inode cache on the client side, on top of the persistent opcache, but due to the sheer number of files that Nextcloud consists of it still generates a frankly ridiculous amount of calls when it needs to invalidate the cache. If you’re running on local drives then that’s likely much less of an issue, regardless of what kind of drive it is, but this is hosted on machines that do not have any local storage.
Yep, those values are actually somewhat tame compared to my own cache tuning, the issue remains that the code requires reloading PHP files from disk during runtime in order to support applications and updates, which - even if it doesn’t happen often - causes IO storms that temporarily break both Nextcloud as well as other software.
Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it’s PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.
All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.
One has super cow powers, the other one doesn’t.
They actually did a study on it after rolling back to Windows, and it turned out to not have failed due to technical difficulties at all.
If I recall correctly they stated that something like 80-90% of all issues reported during the period were due to badly designed processes - processes which were the same as in Windows, and the number of technical issues actually dropped.
Certainly, the fact that Microsoft promised to build a fancy new HQ in the city if they switched back to Windows can’t have had anything to do with the choice to roll back…
Thank you so much, especially for the private instance improvement.
It’s sad when it’s revealing that ~80% of all traffic to my home instance is garbage.
Default block for incoming traffic is always a good starting point.
I’m personally using crowdsec to good results, but still need to add some more to it as I keep seeing failed attacks that should be blocked much quicker.
Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.
If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.
Well, there’s the ALFIS project

MS Outlook is the joke.
I just do the Swedish accent thing and pronounce it forge-yo (like in yo-yo, not the greeting proclamation)
GitLab has been working on support for ActivityPub/ForgeFed federation as well, currently only implemented for releases though.
And it’s still entirely unrelated to my point, since SUSE will remain the trademark in question regardless of what’s actually contained in OpenSUSE.
But yes, the free/open-source spins of things tend to have somewhat differing content compared to the commercial offering, usually for licensing or support reasons.
E.g. CentOS (when it still was a real thing)/AlmaLinux/etc supporting hardware that regular RHEL has dropped support for, while also not distributing core RedHat components like the subscription manager.
Not at all what my point was. There’s indeed plenty of Open-something (or Libre-something) projects under the sun, but no free/open spins of commercial projects named simply “Open<Trademarked company name / commercial offering>”.
To be fair, OpenSUSE is the only project with a name like that, so it makes some sense that they’d want it changed.
There’s no OpenRedHat, no OpenNovell, no OpenLinspire, etc.
Interesting, that’s definitely not what I’m seeing from regular use. Are you running any added applications? LDAP? SSO? External mounts?
