  • I never wash anything in hot, it’s really bad for your clothes / fabrics. My stuff doesn’t smell when it comes out, and my clothing lasts ages.

    The smell is from your washing machine, not the cold wash of your laundry. Doing a hot cycle occasionally will help clean the mold & mildew from inside the machine, even without it having items in it. Even better if you put some bleach or a cleaning tablet in it













  • I’d also suggest throwing more cores at it than you think it needs, and increasing the nic buffer sizes. This is what finally solved the random 1-2 minute outages I was seeing on lemmy.ca, turns out we were somehow saturating the queues even at relatively low traffic levels. (these issues might be specific to our model nic)

    Finally, make sure hardware offloading is disabled, and your CPU type is set to host.
