    As others have mentioned here, there is a lot of natural overlap with vps renting, hardware re-use, gerenal approaches to managing infrastructure, docker, and Linux in general. I don’t even mind networking questions here.

    When questions stray in that aren’t really that relevant, like beginner Linux questions, someone is generally nice enough to point to a more appropriate community.

    What I think wastes time in this community are the gatekeeping topics like “your vps isnt self-hosting”.




  • Wow, you diagnosed buffer bloat and applied the fix to your LAN side? Sooo much work…

    The problem is unlikely to have been on the proxmox side. Multiqueue only allows virtio to multithread TCP connections via the host CPU using more than one virtual cpu, but this is essentially like aggregating a network link; it will increase bandwidth, but not throughput. Besides, the actual limit for the proxmox internal bridge and virtio NICs is “whatever the cpu can manage”, which is sometimes over 10Gb. It’s unlikely to be slowing down traffic coming from your vms.






  • You are trying to de-jargon topics, and that’s fine, but the two following categories do not help, they are localized habits and don’t have any value to non-english or nontechnical people, or both:

    • shortenings: a11y for accessibility is not a common contraction, it’s not helpful for anyone to understand the term itself
    • names of services: CF for cloudflare is not something worth defining. Names change, and you wouldn’t see this in a professional document. It’s like defining “lol”, the acronym is shorthand in typed communication, not technical jargon.

    Side note, DNS stands for domain name system, it has never meant domain name service.

    I personally find bots annoying, half the content on the internet is already bots.
