Actual Budget is an open-source envelope-style budgeting tool similar to YNAB. It has a self-hostable syncing service so that you can manage your budget across multiple devices.
The reason you might want to do this is that it’s probably easier to do full account review sitting at your computer, but you might want to track expenses/receipts on your smartphone while you’re away from home.
You wouldn’t know he was a gymnastics expert by looking at him.
Would this mini pc be a good homeserver
For what purpose?
One of the biggest problems they would have is just pointing their communications equipment in the right direction. The Voyager probes have a complicated guidance system (AACS) which takes input from a three-axis gyroscope and several other reference instruments to keep the 3.7m antenna pointed at Earth. If the antenna goes out of alignment then the radio beam will not hit Earth and will not be received.
The only reason this works is that the Deep Space Network on Earth is actively listening for the signal from the probes, and the people operating it know exactly what direction to point the receiving antennae to get the signal from the probes. If you don’t have very precise targeting you probably won’t get the signal.
Next year Voyager 1 will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth and it’s already a very difficult problem that is only solvable because it was planned for extensively prior to launch, so never mind trying to accomplish this at a distance of hundreds of light-years with no planning.
This ^. You can think about a radio source just like a visible light source. It fades out over distance because the energy emission is spreading out. If there are other light sources that are of similar or greater strength between you and that light, it will be basically impossible to distinguish the one light that you care about from everything else.
The people doing application review typically have no idea what they’re hiring for and dont bother to try. They just look for candidates that check the boxes.
Encrypting the connection is good, it means that no one should be able capture the data and read it - but my concern is more about the holes in the network boundary you have to create to establish the connection.
My point of view is, that’s not something you want happening automatically, unless you manually configured it to do that yourself and you know exactly how it works, what it connects to and how it authenticates (and preferably have some kind of inbound/outbound traffic monitoring for that connection).
Ah, just one question - is your current Syncthing use internal to your home network, or does it sync remotely?
Because if you’re just having your mobile devices sync files when they get on your home wifi, it’s reasonably safe for that to be fire-and-forget, but if you’re syncing from public networks into private that really should require some more specific configuration and active control.
My main reasons are sailing the high seas
If this is the goal, then you need to concern yourself with your network first and the computer/server second. You need as much operational control over your home network as you can manage, you need to put this traffic in a separate tunnel from all of your normal network traffic and have it pop up on the public network from a different location. You need to own the modem that links you to your provider’s network, and the router that is the entry/exit point for your network. You need to segregate the thing doing the sailing on its own network segment that doesn’t have direct access to any of your other devices. You can not use the combo modem/router gateway device provided by your ISP. You need to plan your internal network intentionally and understand how, when, and why each device transmits on the network. You should understand your firewall configuration (on your network boundary, not on your PC). You should also get PiHole up and running and start dropping unwanted inbound and outbound traffic.
OpSec first.
Skynet is Made in China. That figures.
You can get anything you want
but it still is different from virtual memory. that’s a broader thing.
Of course, that’s why I said…
the function is called Virtual Memory in Windows
because that’s how it’s labeled in the Windows Settings menu.
then open the control panel and fix the swap setup. and then enjoy your more ram. the solution to this problem does not seem to be not upgrading to have more ram.
Adding more RAM is not a solution to OP’s described problem in any way. In the context of moving data from active memory to the pagefile, Windows doesn’t care how much RAM you have, only how long the data in active memory has been idle (which is not configurable). Adding more RAM to the system will do nothing to change that behavior.
However, adding more RAM might make retrieving data from the pagefile slower. Yes you could adjust the pagefile settings to address this, as you said, but it still doesn’t do anything to address OP’s problem.
that also gets used when no swap file was set up.
The swap file or pagefile is automatically set up in Windows 10/11. You have to do something manually to prevent it.
I agree that adding more RAM won’t necessarily make the problem go away as windows might still swap the game out if it deems it more important to cache more files in RAM, but I don’t see why that would make it worse.
By making the swap file larger, which may be an issue if the hard drive doesn’t have enough space left, and if not it will still increase the amount of time needed to recover data from the swap, because it’s larger.
Sure but this still requires going through the reinstallation process, compared to just plugging an NVMe drive into a PCIe adapter and sticking it into an unused slot - done in 5 minutes. Plus maybe another 5 minutes to configure Windows Virtual Memory to only use that drive.
This is the correct answer and the function is called Virtual Memory in Windows but is commonly known as the pagefile or swap. Adding more RAM won’t save you from this, as Windows will automatically move memory files into virtual memory if they’re idle for awhile, regardless of how much RAM is currently in use. In fact adding more RAM will probably increase the size of the virtual memory which may make the problem worse for you.
Here is a more complete explanation: Swap file in Windows 10 & Windows 11: How to use it to optimize PC performance (increase, adjust, deactivate swap)?
The pagefile is configurable. You can change which hard drive it gets stored on, how big it can be, and even turn it off completely. Turning it off has risks though, and may lead to system crashes (see the warnings in the article).
You could add an SSD specifically to serve as a pagefile location and nothing else, in which case you could just get a small cheap one (a 32GB SSD would be more than enough for 16GB of RAM) - assuming that you have a place to plug it in to your motherboard, and then turn off the pagefile storage on all other drives in your system. That would be an easy change as you wouldn’t have to reinstall Windows onto a new hard drive.
Ultimately though, the easiest and cheapest fix is to just change your behavior - close the game if you’re not using it for awhile and relaunch it when you want to play again.
It is an absolute PITA to keep an email server on the “nice” list so your company’s email traffic doesn’t get spam filtered by every service provider, and the major services (gmail, outlook, etc) are all federating their spam filter lists so many times if you get blocked on one you get blocked on all. There is so much spam to deal with that the filtering is highly automated and there’s little human oversight.
The point being, it could only take a handful of incidents reporting a company’s email as spam to ruin their reputation and result in email from their domain getting automatically filtered everywhere. So, you know, if they don’t support an easy way to unsubscribe then they are in fact behaving like spammers, so flag them and let them deal with having their domain blacklisted.
Peace was always a prelude.
Si vis pacem para bellum.
The “full financial reparations” part is interesting… I wonder if it’s intended to be unilateral? possibly actually an underhanded attempt to get compensation to all the Russian oligarchs who had their fancy boats and other property confiscated?
