At least in the past, if you had a fixed amount of work to complete, underclocking would increase overall power consumption.

Port scanning isn’t abuse but automatically filing frivilous abuse reports is.

It’s not normal for - model-cache:/cache to be deleted on restart or even upgrade. You shouldn’t need to do this.

The server responds with a 404 error. If you’re using a reverse proxy, make sure the reverse proxy rules are right. Does it work when you connect directly?

It’s relatively easy for Cloudflare to profile clients as being web scrapers. A concerning amount of internet traffic goes through their servers in plain text.

Is this a lost karma bot?

A less intrusive solution would be to just put your sensitive data in LUKS and configure services that use that data to depend on the partition being mounted. That doesn’t require modifying the normal system startup process. You’re less likely to mess up your startup process at the expense of needing to be more mindful about where you’re putting your files.

Tang and Clevis have already been mentioned as a way for one server to boot using another server.

You can also create an environment where the server boots into a phase 1 where it obtains network connectivity and then waits for you to provide it the key to continue booting. The first phase is unencrypted, so don’t put sensitive data in there.

It is bad practice because of point 2 and if you have multiple replicas you can probably get different versions running simultaneously (never tried it). Get Rennovate. It creates PRs to increment the version number and it tries to give you the release notes right in the PR.

Borg / k8s / Docker are not the same thing. Borg is the predecessor of k8s, a serious tool for running production software. Docker is the predecessor of Podman. They all use containers, but Borg / k8s manage complete software deployments (usually featuring processes running in containers) while Docker / Podman only run containers. Docker / Podman are better for development or small temporary deployments. Docker is a company that has moved features from their free software into paid software. Podman is run by RedHat.

There are a lot of publicly available container images out there, and most of them are poorly constructed, obsolete, unreprodicible, unverifiable, vulnerable software, uploaded by some random stranger who at one point wanted to host something.

VLANs are lower than IP so you don’t need a router to have a VLAN, but you will need a router to get packets between the networks. I don’t think a WiFi repeater works. You likely need separate WiFi client and AP devices so you can put your WiFi on a different channel. Otherwise you’re probably halving your WiFi performance when connecting to the other network over the same airwaves.

Unless you can convince the other network to route your IP addresses, this setup will give you another layer of NAT and may cause problems with online games.
