Admittedly I've just scanned your list, but from a repair shop POV, surely the legal licensing would be of interest?

Ie, someone brings in an old device thst won't run Win7 let alone 11 - but you can't repair / upgrade without being very careful with the COA license

Linux: no issues.

Crikey, I only joined a couple of weeks after this instance started too... looks like a few of us didn't realise the paint was still wet when signing up.

Thanks @[email protected] , @[email protected] and @[email protected] for all your hard work! (& Tom...)

Is this where we find out that @[email protected] was actually @[email protected]?

Been using Logseq for ~2 years as I was becoming overwhelmed with stuff... the number of times it's helped me, I'd even call it a mental health support tool !

I use the daily journal page for what's happening and link it to various projects via templates for meetings, webinars, calls, etc and then I can find who said what, when in relation to each project... it's fantastic

My journey⋮ Nextcloud ---> syncthing + radicale

Much simpler, easier to maintain, less resources needed

So, the R320 is just for bulk storage?

Personally I'd drop that one for the lowest power consumption box I could find... unless it's part of a (V)SAN for your R710?

But be careful with assuming many SFF PCs will be better than 1x R710, consider their power properly as they might be more expensive... servers ~~are~~ can be more efficient at heavier loads

Got a link for that? Searching for "garage backup storage" doesn't really get me anywhere...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Nice. I'll go that way when I next brave the dust and cobwebs where the server's currently located

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

LOL.

I've got a tendon pain in my arm and was moaning about it... I'm gonna shut up now 🙂

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, same. I have a FP3+ and was hoping to wait until 4+ came out, but I guess not...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Very true.

I went for the Fairphone 3+ instead of the FP3.

It's the exact same phone, but a couple of modules were improved.

I wish they were doing this for the FP4 / FP5 instead of a whole new phone

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

FP3 user here... 0 issues.

Well, to be 100% honest, I replaced most of the original apps, so maybe they were the problem?

There was an Android update which did something to the camera? (I think), but it's all fine now

I have a few VMs and PMs around the house that I'd setup over time and I'd now like to rebuild some, not to mention just simplify the whole lot.

How the hell do I get from a working system to an equivalent ansible playbook without many (MANY) iterations of trial & error - and potentially destroying the running system??

Ducking around didn't really show much so I'm either missing a concept / keyword, or, no-one does this.

Pointers?

TIA

I'm 99% happy with Logseq.

The one thing that I struggle with is keepng an eye on ToDos.

Is there a better way of looking at them without looking at a ToDo page or an advanced query slowing down my journal template?

Is there another application that can parse the logseq .md files so that I'm not getting behind on my work?

I saw a similar post here recently, but this is slightly different.

I'm running MythTV on Arch which is working fine (of course), but when MythTv came out of the main packages and went to the AUR, it was just a little harder to maintain and had some compolation issues due to ffmpeg, etc - to the point: my last update was probably 3 years ago.

The (minor) issues I currently have are:

  • terminator won't start 1st time, but starts fine 2nd time
  • shutdown's take a few minutes due to a systemd issue
  • everything's woefully out of date

So... considering all the changes with audio and video over the last few years do I just pacman -Syuv and crack on... or... start again from scratch?

(Yep, full backup 1st)

Holiday BBQs (feddit.uk)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

First holiday rental BBQ of the year.

These are always an adventure, broken legs, crumbling gas pipes, spiders and snails in all the crevices...

In this case, it's not too bad, just lit the fire so we'll see if it explodes / melts...

And... just burgers, sausages and halloumi for this one, nothing too adventurous

It's already 25DegC in my home office.

The best cooling automation I have so far is to turn the fan on when it's 25 for >5mins.

Is there a nice zigbee / ESP32 evaporation cooler that I can enjoying setting up with HA?

Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes... it now has Proton VPN built in.

It's actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I'm in two minds whether I like that... or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it's not completely anonymous, but it's a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so... yeah, it's ok...

"On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device."

OK, so, I didn't purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it's my mother's then, well, I'm the one that has to "fix" this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

Comments?

As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

NAS vulnerabilities (www.theregister.com)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here...

It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of

Before I dive headlong into debugging and throwing bug tickets around, I just needed a sanity check from someone else..

I have an old Lenovo laptop as my daily driver / experimentation box (ie it gets a lot of paclages installed and removed)

Recently I've been using Vivaldi's built-in calendar to use as a CalDAV client for my radicale installation.

It's the only open tab and Vivaldi's using ~20% CPU (according to htop)... actually, I just closed that tab... even with 1 blank tab the CPU's the same.

Is this just my battle weary laptop needing a good clean, or can someone else confirm?

TIA

pfSense... Anyone have much experience with the new Kea DHCP server?

I'm using 2.7.2 (Community Edition) on a fairly good Celeron based system that's not heavily loaded, but I have 7 network segments (VLANs and physical interfaces), so I have 7 DHCP pools / configs.

Just adding 1 more static reservation can cause a significant delay when reloading the service and because I register static reservations in DNS, the network loses DNS so I "break the internet" for a short while.

Would Kea fix this?
