Ok. I am tired of Infosec.exchange being sluggish. I just submitted a crazy order with Hetzner to upgrade the instance. Hopefully the last time for a while. I ordered a dell AMD Genoa 48 core server with 256 GB of ram to act as a database and redis server, a dell 64 core sapphire rapids server with 256gb of ram to act as the single front end/puma/streaming server, and an amd 7950 with 128gb of ram to run minio (insourcing from Backblaze).

I ordered all with 10g network interfaces to be connected to the same switch.

I continue to see issues with Backblaze performance causing issues with posting.

This will consolidate the environment down from about 13 servers to 4 (I will keep using less expensive servers on 1G networks for Sidekiq if it can’t run on the sapphire rapids server.

I will be putting that behind Fastly for global distribution and ddos mitigation. I don’t know whether I’ll keep serving media via bunny.net or try to do that with Fastly also. Bunny works pretty well and is cost effective for media delivery.

Anyhow, changes are coming. Thanks for patience.

@jerry thanks for all of your hard work. I've noticed no issues. Maybe it's because I use an app (TwitPane) instead of the website?

Does any company make a hot water heater that uses the waste heat from air conditioning to help heat the water? Was just staring at my utility closet where my water heater sits right next to my furnace and suddenly it seemed obvious and dumb that I use electricity in to heat my water, then use more electricity to pump heat out of my condo and into the air outside

@jerry Technology Connections on YouTube played around with that idea when he was talking about heat pumps inside the house.

Different appliance but same idea, I now vent my electric clothes dryer inside my house during the winter. I not only keep all the good smelling super hot air inside my house but I also add needed humidity to the air. I also do not put the house into a negative pressure state.

If you have an electric clothes dryer the kit to do this is less than 20. The main thing you need is a way to capture the lint. The kit I purchased does this by blowing the air over water.

Wrapping up second to last day at the beach 😕

The weather and water are amazing this weekend.

@jerry my mind is blown. Here I thought you were actually a llama with a great haircut.
Next thing you know I'm going to find out that @SwiftOnSecurity is not really the lovechild of Taylor Swift and an airplane...
