Every time someone asks "will this run on a 1 GB VPS?" the answer is a guess, or a vendor minimum that was written to be safe rather than accurate. So I measured it.

Same box, same method, every app: install, start it, let it settle for 60s at idle with no clients connected, then sum the RSS of the whole process tree. No Docker overhead in the numbers — these are the apps themselves.

Things I did not expect:

• The *arr apps are all the same size. Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Prowlarr land within 5 MB of each other (188–193 MB). That is not a coincidence and it is not the app — it is the .NET runtime setting the floor. Which also means the folklore of "budget ~2 GB for an *arr stack" is roughly right, and I say that as someone who started this expecting to debunk it.
• Go binaries are absurdly cheap. File Browser, Gotify, ntfy, PocketBase, Caddy and Navidrome together idle at about 181 MB — less than one Sonarr.
• Grafana's 512 MB minimum is honest. At 172 MB idle it has real headroom needs once dashboards start querying. Not every vendor minimum is padding.
• Node apps cost you. Uptime Kuma at 136 MB is ~8x File Browser for a job that is not 8x harder.

Caveats, because they matter: this is idle RSS, not what you need under load. Databases, media transcoding and indexing all blow past these numbers. Treat it as the floor, not the budget. My own rule of thumb from this: sum the idle figures, add ~300 MB for the OS, then add 30% headroom — that has matched what actually fits so far.

Happy to take corrections — if a number looks wrong for your setup I would rather fix it than defend it. Also taking requests for what to measure next; Jellyfin and Immich are the two I keep getting asked for.

I am thinking of doing freelance web development and I'm currently building my portfolio for it. However, I don't have any degree at all and I live in an expensive country. My friend however says that I still might have a chance if I make good quality stuff. Right now I'm even working on creating a video platform website similar to YouTube (with it being fully functional) just to impress potential customers.

Would that work?

Journalists and others were allowed to fly on presidential jet despite security threat while Trump was spirited away

Democrats called on Tuesday for a congressional briefing over a stunning charade in which Donald Trump was secretly spirited to different plane than the one the public and press believed he was travelling on. Critics now question why reporters and the public had been deliberately misled.

When US intelligence allegedly found a credible threat that Iran plotted to kill him last month, Trump left Air Force One in a catering truck, an episode first reported by the Washington Post and also by the New York Times. While the president was reportedly snuck out the side door of the plane, more than a hundred aides, officials and reporters were kept onboard to fly towards Britain, without being told there was a threat to their lives.

“It appears that the idea was we can reduce the danger to President Trump by offering up 100 or so people to be killed by the Iranians in his place,” said Steven Cash, executive director of the Steady State and a former CIA intelligence officer and senior adviser to the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence branch.

So, in the last few years I've read a lot of posts on reddit that some men won't wash their ass because "it's gay".

Can't we just troll these guys into believing that it's gay to brush your teeth aswell? I mean, the motion you make with your hand resembles that of a blow job.

It would not only be hilarious, it would also warn women ahead of time that the guy with bad breath probably don't wash his ass and is a homophobe.

Full title: 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

Whereas:

UNICEF on May 12, 2026, described as “intolerable” the price being paid by West Bank/East Jerusalem children for escalating Israeli militarised operations and settler attacks, noting: the number of Palestinian children killed (on average at least one every week from January 2025 to May 2026), the number of Palestinian West Bank children held in military detention for alleged security offences is the highest in 8 years (more than half – 180 – under administrative detention without procedural safeguards), that West Bank/East Jerusalem children are routinely cut off from schools, hospitals and other essential services;

Israel is blocking agencies that work to protect Palestinian children, including by designating Defense for Children International – Palestine terrorists on October 19, 2021, banning UNRWA from operating in Israel and East Jerusalem on October 28, 2024, and preventing the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian security detainees in Israeli prisons since October 7, 2023; and

The 2024 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion stated Israel’s continued occupation is illegal.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to protect the lives, dignity and human rights of Palestinian children by:

1. Banning all arms trade, direct or indirect, with Israel;
2. Suspending the Canada-Israel Free Trade agreement;
3. Sanctioning each Israeli cabinet member, Knesset member or government official who promotes violence against Palestinians or the seizure of their land; and
4. Prohibiting any Canadian resident or corporation from bidding on contracts for works wholly or partly within Israeli settlements in the West Bank/East Jerusalem.
