I've got a i5-7500T box running as a Proxmox Backup Server, and it idles at 6-7W. It runs at near idle most of the time (it's just running PBS and a few network services), so I'm not expecting it to cause much difference to my power bills. Even under full load, it only draws ~30W, so it's not _that_ much power.
AIUI, nginx doesn't terminate the SSL/TLS connection - it is just passed through as is. `ssl_preread on` extracts the server name from the Server Name Indication (SNI) send as part of the TLS handshake, which is unencrypted.
I just set up a similar system (Debian LXC permanently connected to a VPN, nginx proxying imgur.com and all its subdomains with the rest being dropped), and it works quite well. Setting DNS records for imgur.com and {api,i,s}.imgur.com seems to be sufficient to get the site and inline images working (not 100% if all are needed - I haven't fully tested it yet).
Reduce Transparency helps in some ways, but also introduces its own issues. A couple I noticed in the brief time I used it:
* My home screen wallpaper is a blurred version of the astronomy lock screen. After enabling Reduce Transparency, it remains working for ten minutes or so, then gets replaced with a plain black background.
* Websites have a large bottom margin (usually white, sometimes site specific colours) where the toolbar appears if you scroll up. It feels like a complete waste of screen space if you're scrolling down a webpage to read it.
Not perfectly. I grabbed a random encoded line from these comments, and asked ChatGPT to decode it[1]. It determined the plaintext was:
> Immediately thought of Moby, infact a quick search for this title... coincidental, but I would mention it in the page if I were you.
and noted that it had "preserved punctuation and capitalization from the ciphertext". The actual plaintext should be:
> Immediately thought of XKCD, infact a quick search for this title gives me XKCD, it could be coincidental, but I would mention it in the page if I were you.
I've hit my free usage limit so can't currently prompt it further about its mistake.
