Look up the yacy repo in github

Im_old ,

for the downvoters, it's a song from a Monthy Python movie, so comedy (and great one at that!)

Can confirm, I like both

That's a feature, not a bug

When ‘Lol, No’ Is Not Enough: Lawyer Explains Why Bogus Takedown Over ‘Fuck The LAPD’ Shirt Should Result In Paying Legal Fees (www.techdirt.com)

You may recall last month’s hilarious story of lawyer Mike Dunforth’s response to a vexatious angry demand letter from IMG, representing the LAPD Foundation, claiming that a t-shirt with the following “Fuck the LAPD” logo violated its IP rights:

Im_old ,

Damn that was a good read!

Im_old ,

Having multiple interfaces in each vm can lead to issues with routing if you screw something up.

Like you said I'd expose the services via reverse proxy in the public vlan, and enable ssh access on the firewall only from a jumpbox or the ip of your pc (or maybe the vlan you are in).

Im_old ,

well ROCM is supported in Linux
https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/

I've installed it on my (single) AMD GPU (I thought it was for something else) on EndeavourOS (which is, obvs, arch btw :D).

I've been using endeavourOS for about 1y now, after a few years of Mint (and 20years of everything else. Yes, I've used gentoo as well back when it was only install from stage1). It does feel faster (on the same hw) but I've never done any real benchmarking, so it could be just "new shiny feeling faster". I've found an article a few weeks ago comparing boot/compression speeds of different distros. In your particular case I wouldn't be using Debian as I feel you'd need quite up-to-date drivers, and Debian is conservative (and that's a good thing personally, I use it on my servers).

Proton a few years ago disclosed the IP address of the user of a certain mailbox upon request by LEA. That was enough to get the person found and arrested (I don't remember what the case was about). They HAVE to comply with these requests, but they DON'T need to log/retain those info ETA: and I was wrong, thanks @Cheradenine to set me straight. But I think the point still stands. I don't want to be ALWAYS be tied to a VPN, there are some scenarios where I can't use a VPN.

That was the moment I decided to selfhost my email server.

Im_old ,

Agree with you, that's why I buy my butt plugs (and similar toys) with my gmail account! 😁

Im_old ,

They can get my encrypted drive. My domain name is registered to me so that's clear it's my email. But no content.

Im_old ,

oh man, you made me think so many bad jokes about this... 😅

Im_old ,

I would stew a bunny...

Im_old ,

I'm self hosting headscale (foss implementation of tailscale control server) for this scenario. Works great!

Im_old ,

I've been told that zerotier is even better. Haven't tried it myself (it looks more complicated to selfhost) but the guy suggesting it knows waaaaay more than me on these things. Just if you want to look into another option.

For what it's worth (from a random guy on the internet) selt-hosting tailscale is quite easy! 🙂

Im_old ,

I'll just create a new user with that name to save time

Im_old ,

Gentoo. Good idea on paper, takes a lot of time to get ready for arguable benefits

Im_old ,

I had a 2cv. I still miss it. I don't miss slack

Im_old ,

I always say, an OS is a tool, not a religion. I use Linux at home 98% of the time because it fits what I need to do and it's snappier than Windows on my hardware and gives me more control, or maybe I know better how to do certain things in Linux nowadays that I've left Windows mostly behind. I use Windows at work because that's what dictated, and also because MS Visio is only on Windows (I could use MacOS with Omnigraffle, but Macs are not available at my pay grade. Whatever). They pay me to work and be productive, and this means using Outlook/Teams, AD SSO integration with Edge, all the VPNs/network control/DLP agents. And luckily now I can use Linux subsystem in Windows, so I can work on the cli when I need to do something fancy.
They don't pay me to spend hours trying to find a way to work with their systems other than what's supported.

On the topic at hand (bootloader issues). Never had a problem personally, but Iast time I did proper dual booting (on the same drive) was with Windows8.1. Now I have different drives, with the bios configured to boot from the drive with Linux. If I want to boot on Windows 10 I actually have to change the boot sequence. And even then there is grub (from an old dual boot setup).

I have been using opnsense on a very cheap celeron nuc for a few years, very happy with it

Linux distro for selfhosting server

So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I...

Im_old ,

As everyone said, debian. I use it for my mail server, the docker server, podman server, matrix, headscale. On docker I also have nvidia drivers for hardware video decoding in jellyfin.

Im_old ,

I tried immich, photoprism and piwigo. I settled with librephotos. Iirc it was because of the face recognition capabilities and read the photos from my nas.

Im_old ,

sorry for late reply. So far is great. I can feed it custom paths on my NAS and it doesn't touch the pictures/import them/etc. (which was the main requirement for me). It just works with what you feed it. Face recognition is good. Search is good. The 3rd party app (uhuru photos) is not great, but still under development. But the mobile interface works anyway well enough.

Im_old ,

ah, the original shitposters

Im_old ,

I know it's a typo, but Sustemd would be great for AmogOS! 😂

Im_old ,

I would argue that adding a software to start at boot is either a software installation process, or a management policy process. No regular Windows user has ever asked me how to start a software automatically at boot/login (and as the "IT guy" I had a LOT of friends and people asking me all sort of things). Also, you are talking about "being in the same place for 25 years". This is not an interface issue, is an habit issue. In the past 25 years how to start things at boot has changed from init.d scripts to systemd (yeah yeah, let's not start about systemd now, I don't care), but one new "skill" to learn in 25 years is not a big deal. You learnt how to do it in win98 and never had to learn a new thing. I've learnt how to do it in init.d, and had to slightly change once. And I could probably still use init.d, but I went with the flow.

Show me how to mount drive so that it will be available for ALL the apps I install, without touching terminal in Linux

Hum, all of them I've been using in the past 10-15 years, under Gnome and Cinnamon. Unless I misunderstood your point, it's been a feature for a long time. I don't like the terminal, I have to look up the options for commands all the time because I forget them all the time. Even symlinks now I can create from the file explorer (yes, ln -sf is quicker, but I never remember if it's target then name or the other way around).

The problem I see with linux is fragmentation, the internal culture wars, so every (major) distro is slightly different. On the other hand, at least there is differentiation, and you can use the best distro for the job at hand. I wouldn't use Linux Mint for a server (yes, you COULD, but it's not its native use case), but my dad has been using it happily for the past 10 years (and Redhat and Ubuntu before that) with minimal supervision.

I've seen people entering the workforce without knowing how to use Windows (either IT illiterate or coming from MacOS), so it would be the same to them learning a Gnome menu or Windows menu (sorry, I've never used KDE, it's a long story, but I guess the same would apply).

For enterprise is cost of support and ecosystem. There are (or at least there were) less tools to manage a Linux desktop fleet than a Windows one. And I suppose (but really speculating at this point) that a Linux engineer with those skills costs more than a Windows one (as they are more scarce).

Im_old ,

Nothing is safe short of self hosted matrix with full E2E encryption or similar and ain’t nobody doing that.

Well, I'm doing that. But I'm nobody, so I guess your point still stands 😅

But also, I don't judge the chats mainly by their client, but the protocol. Telegram is not open and so can't be audited properly, that's my concern.

Im_old ,

Ah well, my bad, things have changed since last time I checked.

So better of what I thought, but still not great. Also the fact that it's a Saudi Arabia company now (where they are not exactly famous for their human rights protections) does not bode well.

Im_old ,

My friend, let me be that guy that says "that's nothing!". In 2002 (around kernel 2.14 I think it was) notebooks had no integrated wifi (at least not the second hand notebook I could afford, and it wasn't cheap anyway). I had to buy a cisco pmcia wifi card from across the world and recompile the kernel to include wifi support (and the driver of course). I don't remember why, but I remember that recompiling the kernel happened quite frequently. Maybe because I was distro hopping a lot or because there were quite (relatively speaking) kernel updates.
Not good old days, but at least I learnt!

Im_old ,

I host mine (for two users + WhatsApp bridge) on a 4gb 1vcpu vm. When I was using a smaller vm with only 2gb of ram it would hang frequently due to memory exhausting and swapping.
I'm using a debian image, and the different components of matrix are containers.

Media study on Gen Alpha kids show 'purposeful participation' over 'mindless consumption' of media and increased privacy consciousness over previous gen (variety.com)

Media study on Gen Alpha kids show 'purposeful participation' over 'mindless consumption' of media and increased privacy consciousness over previous gen::Gen Alpha kids are protective of their personal data online and enjoy media that allows them to control their experiences with content.

Im_old ,

As my username implies, I sometimes fall out of the loop on things. Who are gen Alpha now please?
Should I tell them to not touch the thermostat? (just kidding, it's all locked down, I'm an old geek).

Im_old ,

And I bet it can play porn too, lol.

Im_old ,

For what I understand, a lot of places in US have only a single provider available, so no competition.
And when towns try to run their own broadband infrastructure they get sued by Internet companies.

Kodi forever, with retropie

Im_old ,

I have kodi on a rpi3, with the jellyfin plug in so all the decoding happens on hardware (old cheap nvidia) on the server where jellyfin runs.

Im_old ,

I was sitting on the ground doing a puzzle with my kid the other week. Ended up with back pain for two days. I don't "feel" old until my body reminds me.

Current Best Remote Access Method?

So for the past few years (?) I have been using wireguard to vpn into (effectively) my firewall and a dynamic dns setup to access that remotely. But with the shitshow that is google domains and the like, this seems like a good opportunity to look into a few of the alternatives. I am not entirely opposed to just going in and...

Im_old ,

And it's really easy to set up

Im_old ,

one a VM, the other a container, with different upstream targets.
I have to schedule maintenance when everyone is asleep or out of the house.
I'll swear one day I'll have a proper (raspberry pi) cluster with KVM, I just need to finish implementing the other million things I find when I research it.

Im_old ,

And time

Im_old ,

yes. My kids have an account that can only see kids stuff (and they are not admins either of course). I have admin rights. My wife can see everything but no admin rights. If you mean "I need a KIDS group where I can put all my kids' accounts so they inherit the same permissions" then no.

Im_old ,

Or not even hire replacements, so they cut workforce AND don't have to pay severance packages. Costs are reduced, earning are higher, shareholder are happy.
Yes, it's a relatively short term plan, but that's what analysts and investors care about, short term returns.

Im_old ,

I recently installed GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 pro. Waaaay easier than lineageOS. As long as you have the drivers installed on your pc and opposable thumbs, it's a breeze.

Im_old ,

I never buy new phones, only used on ebay after Christmas

Im_old ,

Nobody's normal, we are all weird in our own way.
