On: How much traffic can a pre-rendered Next.js site handle?

[casper14]

I've been down the same path with next.js. When seeing terrible performance after testing with k6, I pushed all static files (js, css, images etc) to a cdn.

This way only the first request hits your actual server, the rest is handled for you.

How is Graphene working for you?

[AlgebraFox → casper14]

Not OP. But I am using GrapheneOS for almost 4 months now. It is a breath of fresh air. Network Permission, Contact Scope, Duress PIN, Hardened Malloc, JIT tuning, Sandboxed Google Play etc.. are some key privacy and security features in Graphene. Will never go back to Apple's or Google's surveillance platforms.

I have been meaning to try it. Is it best to get a new phone, or will any old model work fine?

You absolutely want a somewhat modern Pixel

GrapheneOS is great. I’m on iOS 18 for now (until I get a new Pixel after I got one stolen days ago) and I can’t wait to go back to GrapheneOS.

[switch007 → casper14]

Not OP either. It's quite "buggy" (honestly too many to list, mostly UI issues, app issues that can either be attributed to the OS or the app)...but overall I'm happy because of all the great features.

Not OP, but very well!! The only things that don't work for me are Google Pay and Android Auto, which is a shame but I can live without both of those.

[cubesnooper → AzzyHN]

GrapheneOS supports Android Auto now! I use it every day.

[jacoblambda → AzzyHN]

Android Auto works well for me on Graphene (Pixel 9 Pro) but I obv can't make GPay work given that it relies on the OS having Google's blessing and they are actively hostile to GOS as a project.

[switch007 → AzzyHN]

Auto absolutely works these days but Google Pay definitely doesn't and probably won't ever

[hmottestad → AzzyHN]

That kinda sucks. I don’t carry cash or a credit card anymore. I just pay with my phone.

[rcMgD2BwE72F → AzzyHN]

Upgrade. Auto is supported now.

On: I have 2000 old VHS tapes in my garage and don't know what to do with them

[casper14]

The Netherlands still has it. They even updated it recently because a lot of people are still using it.

The desert is actually not great for solar, it's too hot, will decrease performance of the panels

[jaeckel → casper14]

That's why you do thermo solar in hot regions.

On: Bun v1.1.22

[casper14]

What would a Bun v2 look like in your view?

On: Dockge – Self-hosted – Docker compose.yaml – Stack-oriented Manager

[casper14]

From your webpage I cant really derrive what Dockge actually does

[chrisandchris → casper14]

True, it seems to be similar to Portainer (UI for your Docker Stacks)

[telgareith → casper14]

Not sure I want to google it either.

Always fun to remember that this comment likely came to you through one of these cables
