Elevated temps significantly impact the retention and are included in some datasheets by memory vendors, but often they are omitted and you need to request them.

Switched to Technitium (from piHole via Docker on amd64 and manual dnsmasq before that) primarily for DNS over HTTPS and never looked back. Used it for DHCP and DNS.


For anyone wondering, this was written in 2019 and is no longer "new". I was confused by the following line since I recall this being available for sometime:

> By using the newly introduced dm-writecache device mapper Linux kernel module

Looked for a publication date, but nothing anywhere on the page other then timestamps in the command output mentioning 2019. Wayback machine confirms this as well[0]

thanks for clarifying!


Where do you get that? Sounds like they improved performance over the previous "fixes":

> Intel's internal tests show that the 0x12B update does not noticeably affect performance. Benchmarks and gaming tests, including popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, showed results within normal expected variations when compared to the earlier 0x125 update.


biggest issue with those chips on mobile is very aggressive thermal throttling. i dont have experience with desktop or server line because i just run amd for years (mostly because of ecc support on the entire line)

> Second, the eTVB microcode allowed certain 13th and 14th Generation Core i9 processors to maintain high performance even at elevated temperatures, which was corrected with the 0x125 microcode update released in June 2024.


Perhaps "Dolt is Git for data" should really be "Dolt is Git for databases"

I loaded the page expecting to see some arbitrary binary data version control tool and was caught off guard by all the references to SQL.


On Google Pixel 8 (IDK about other Android phones) you can press the power button + volume up button to launch a pop-up menu with the following options: restart, power off, lockdown, emergency.

If you select lockdown you'll be required to use a pin or password to unlock the phone.


> Embrasure is an open-source, self-hosted secrets management tool built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for small teams seeking simplicity and security.

Was excited to hear about self-hosted secrets management, but expected "self-hosted" to mean I can host anywhere, but the depends specific AWS features.

Perhaps "unmanaged" is a more appropriate term.


> expected "self-hosted" to mean I can host anywhere

You're referring to a cloud-agnostic solution.

Embrasure is self-hosted since each instance is deployed within an organization's infrastructure, but as you mentioned, it's AWS-dependent.


> You're referring to a cloud-agnostic solution.

I actually mean that the service need not care if it's in the cloud or on-premise as opposed to whose cloud. Many of my services don't need to do anything in the cloud.

If you look at things like awesome-selfhosted[0] you'll see that this is the prevailing expectation of things describing themselves as "self-hosted".

Based on a strict definition, I agree that Embrasure may not be considered self-hosted, but I don't think that's the "prevailing expectation."

For example, look at Infisical's documentation[0], and you'll see they offer self-hosting solutions on AWS, GCP, Azure, and more.

I don’t think we should go down that rabbit hole of redefining self hosting ad anything other than host it in your own infra. So if AWS disappeared today, would your product still be self hosted? If being self hosted does not actually depend on your product but on the availability of another provider, there I don’t think we should call it self hosted.


> Based on a strict definition, I agree that Embrasure may not be considered self-hosted, but I don't think that's the "prevailing expectation."

I wont 100% discount that I live in a bubble, but try ask 100 random people what "self hosted" means, I would strongly guess that very very few says "I can (only) spin up some resources on AWS and deploy it there"


> ask 100 random people

I don't think it should be left to the opinion of 100 "random" people.

I'll quote Wikipedia[0] again: "Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server..."

Embrasure is built on a Virtual Private Cloud instance.

> I don't think it should be left to the opinion of 100 "random" people.

well judging by the other comments here, you will be getting even less who agree with your definition


Self-hosting does not mean you can't run it on AWS, but people expect more. Just look at Postgresql as an example of a self hosted software. You can run it in the cloud or your own basement.


Postgresql is a great example.


No, this is not what self hosted means.

This is a self managed AWS solution; nothing wrong with that.


Certainly the article doesn't hit on power, but if it is "faster" and uses the same amount of energy then it should do the same about work and consume less battery.

Unfortunately from the article it's hard to tell anything from power consumption other then the Snapdragon X Elite 8 has a roughly 28W "TDP" and that the Elite A has 80W "TDP" and is only slightly faster. Still, this doesn't translate to real world power usage.

I'd love to see a real world benchmark that measures actual power consumption of these chips.


Self hosted Gitea + Markdown + Mermaid diagrams


I'm curious to know how you're using Mermaid diagrams for hardware. Can you give an example?


I typically (mis)use class diagrams as block diagrams for system design and interconnects.


This affects Windows only.

Really feel that should've made it to the title other it feels like click bait.


I worked in managing bug bounty programs at a previous job. If there is one thing I have learned it's that blog posts like this are heavily skewed towards making the problem seem much larger than it is. It's what gets the clicks, so it's not a surprise. It makes dealing with penetration testers and bug bounty participants really stressful and frankly, annoying.

Our policy was that we would be happy if someone were to discuss bounties we paid out for, but we wanted the discussion to be fair and accurate. It did not ever really feel like it was mutually beneficial relationship. I don't miss that work at all really lol.
