Error 1033 Cloudflare by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

How are you accessing it without Cloudflare? How do you know that Lemmy is actually listening?

What's the URL you using to access it without Cloudflare?

Edit: Also that curl tells me it's not listening on that IP/port.

Can you access it without Cloudflare?

Does curl http://localhost:8536/ work?

You are using cloudflared right? Because normal (non-cloudflared) Cloudflare doesn't support port 8536.

Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

With dynamic DNS? Yeah it always has, as long as you can host a http server.

With a dynamic IP? It should do, the certs are only valid for 6 days for that reason.

Home Assistant as security camera PVR?? by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I know this seems pretty much solved, but I just wanted to point out:

Frigate doesn't need a TPU, OpenVINO is quite performant even on decade old Haswells, or if you've got a GTX 750 or higher you might be able to use that as well.

Good experience with neko remote browser by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 80 points 1 month ago

Perhaps there was an easier lighter-weight way of doing this?

Yeah, SSH tunneling. What I would do (and have done in the past) is something like:

ssh -L 8080:192.168.0.1:80 myserver

That will forward port 8080 on your host to port 80 on 192.168.0.1, so you can access your router's web UI with http://localhost:8080/ in your own web browser.

You can also setup full tunneling with SSH, but that requires messing around with SOCKS and I usually can't be bothered.

You can always install activate-linux, and it even works on Windows.

FOSS App Idea: A browser with Wireguard built in (programming.dev)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

Soldered-on RTC batteries (with type covered as a bonus) by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

(with type covered as a bonus)

Relevant fact: Most standard non-letter batteries are named after their physical size, for example a CR2032 is 20mm diameter x 3.2mm height; or not a button battery, but an 18650 is 18mm diameter x 65.0mm height.

I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

I'm probably jumping to conclusions, but Nvidia?

KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks (programming.dev)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims (archive.md)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!

Ubuntu Plans to Ditch its 'Minimal' Install Option by SteveTech in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 151 points 2 years ago

The title's kinda clickbait, they're removing the 'Full' option and adding a choose your own apps dialogue to the 'Minimal' (and now only) option, and installs the selected apps over the internet. This reduces ISO size since the apps aren't installed by default.

Which is an action I can agree with.
