Wow, this press release from Red Hat was... bad.

I get where they're coming from, but it probably would've been better to not throw shade on non-customers like this:

Upgraded from a RTX 3070 TI to a RTX 4070 yesterday

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, had terrible performance issues with 470, 515, and 525 drivers (525 is the latest shown on their website and apt)

Manually finding, downloading and installing 530 fixed everything

Got some test images of a Mini 3 Pro today, it appears the latest firmware is compatible with #OpenAthena for Android.

Still need to test if the camera properties are correct, but should be usable now if you have a #drone and would like to try:

Compass calibration improves accuracy dramatically. You don't have to do it before every flight, but you definitely should whenever you move to a new environment (which has subtly different magnetic field):

All together, you have your own domain, website host, office apps, and email address for only $16.70/mo.

Shared hosting bundles from companies like GoDaddy or DreamHost are available for about the same price, but you'd have far less performance and control over your system.

For website domain name registration, my favorite is Google Domains (https://domains.google.com) for its excellent UI and associated services. Pricing is good too, at only 30$/yr for the domain I registered.

For an extra $7.50/mo., you get an email address and a Google Workspace (gmail + G-suite office programs) at your new domain name.

All told, this saves me about $7/mo by allowing me to do less with more on a smaller VPS instance.

Not much by itself, but could be a lot if you're doing this same process for many clients.

Finally, I disable zswap (which is enabled by default on Linux) since I have now have ZRAM, and tune Linux to be smarter with how it manages memory given its constraints:

The next thing I did was change the compression algorithm for ZRAM from lzo-rle (which is fast but with lower compression) to zstd (which is slow but with higher compression). I can afford to do this without impacting system performance because the Ryzen CPU has plenty of headroom, and my main limitation on this system is RAM anyways

Compression, specifically ZRAM. ZRAM is a tool available on Linux which allows you to create an in-memory swap file which performs efficient compression on its contents. With low-entropy data like that of a database, compression ratios in excess of 3:1 are not unheard of. This effectively gives you much more usable RAM because more processes' pages can be kept in RAM at any one time.

I used this guide for configuring my Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS VPS:

The secret is swap. Swap is where your programs' memory goes when it needs to yield to other processes. While NVMe throughput is 20-25 faster than even a SATA III SSD, disk I/O is still much much slower than RAM.

So while we could add a swap file on the SSD to ease memory pressure, there's an even better option:

A perfect 100 from Google's PageSpeed Insights!

This is because EasyEngine puts a NGINX proxy-cache in front of Wordpress which can deliver content directly from RAM.

How do you keep enough RAM available for this when you have 5 other containers running concurrently on the same host? Well:

Digital Ocean's lowest-tier "Premium" offering which gives you 1 GB of RAM, CPU time on a AMD Ryzen processor, and 25 GB of NVMe storage is only $7.00 per month!

If you think this is too small for 6 docker containers and a mariadb database, just wait until you see this:

By far my favorite way to set up a new website:

I am weary of shared Wordpress hosting providers. Performance can be a mixed bag when you're one of many tenants. Also: you don't have enough control of the server for things like plugins and caching.

Thankfully, https://easyengine.io makes it trivial to get a docker-ized wordpress installation running on any VPS host, such as AWS, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc. Prices for your own VPS may be intimidating at first, but check this out:
