I think A/B testing is the red herring here, and I get annoyed every time some web UI changes for any reason outside my control 🥲
With desktop software I can usually get some comfort of "oh fuck, rolling it back!", to at least get a bit of time to mentally prepare for the inevitable.

One issue I take with them though is that the heatsink absolutely sucks. Just a piece of aluminium, no heat-pipes, and heat transfer rate is very bad. It kinda works with the default 15W power limit, but at 35W it can't cool down the CPU below 80-90°C even with less than 1 core worth of CPU load.

And I want, at some point, to take them out of their cases, design and 3D-print required parts, and shove all 4 of them into a single 1U enclosure.

Couple months ago I was able to get 4x de.gmktec.com/en/products/... (while they were 300 EUR each). Now I'm running OpenEBS, CloudNativePG, MinIO, and other stuff on them.

Update: account restored, reason for suspension was automated sending of moderation reports that was running for almost 2 years (I even forgot that it was there, LOL).

Yup, and nobody is going to do anything about it. We've already seen this w.r.t. russia since 2014.

Thanks, I did send an appeal shortly before posting, but haven't got any reply yet. I'll keep waiting, since there's no other options available to me.

I still don't see a point in doing so 🙃
In practical terms there's very little difference between an account being taken down at a PDS level, AppView, or the relay.

At my current stage of life, exceptions to "mostly" are much more painful to deal with on Windows than on Linux 😅 But that's due to me being comfortable using various diagnostic tools and not being shy to read the source code (including kernel) when I don't understand from docs how it should work.

Not doing any of that, to the best of my knowledge. I've paid quite a bit of attention to properly handle rate limiting in particular.

I mean, I do have a couple of automations running, but they obey rate limits and don't do anything fishy.

Yeah, and communism is alluring in that way, presenting itself as giving power to the people. But it's never that simple, and there's never a precise and universal criteria for whom exactly the power needs to be taken from.

Pro-tip: in your torrent client you can add other open trackers (e.g., from here github.com/ngosang/trac...), so that taking down bt[12].archive.org would not have much of an effect.
