As part of the transition of perpetual licensing to new subscription offerings, the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (Free Edition) has been marked as EOGA (End of General Availability). At this time, there is not an equivalent replacement product available.

For further details regarding the affected products and this change, we encourage you to review the following blog post: https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2024/01/22/vmware-end-of-availability-of-perpetual-licensing-and-saas-services/

• KVM/QEMU/Libvirt/virt-manager on a Debian 12 for minimal installation that allows you to choose backup tools and the like on your own.
• Proxmox for a mature KVM-based virtualizer with built in tools for backups, clustering, etcetera. Also supports LXC. https://github.com/proxmox
• Incus for LXC/KVM virtualization - younger solution than Proxmox and more focused on LXC. https://github.com/lxc/incus

Considering the amount of android models there are wouldn't this be the obvious result?

Yeah, running custom roms means you wouldn't have been affected.

anamethatisnt , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) to Technology in The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years

The FairPhone 4 had a screen brightness bug that made the phone (mostly) unusable outside in the sun that lasted from Feb 2023 to Oct 2023.
Since the Android 12 update, the FP4 has a cooling feature that reduces the maximum brightness even when the slider is all the way to the right.
This occurs when the phone heats up to ~40 degrees at the CPU, which is not a lot at all.

They will have to work very hard to make me consider buying my next phone from them.
They do seem to listen to their users and learn from their mistakes though - FP4 was often criticized for the short firmware support offered from Qualcomm. FP5 will have Qualcomm's extended firmware support for its SoC.

anamethatisnt , 4 months ago to Privacy in Question about using default router and modem

The simplest, most effective thing you can do for privacy is change the dns server of your devices.

This can be the reason to switch router, my ISP delivered router doesn't allow me to change DNS delivered by DHCP or DNS used by the router. If I must setup my own DHCP server I might as well setup an opnsense and add crowdsec/suricata or zenarmor.

Would work if it was planned to be a system used by only techies or if we knew exactly what groups are wanted beforehand. Definitely gonna remember the tip, splitting it into several shared dbs didn't even hit me as an option.

Sounds like I should get my docker vm. :)

anamethatisnt OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

True, I could use VM+Docker as you say. I've been thinking of making a dedicated "Docker VM" before when I've looked at interesting projects that has no other offerings.
I've felt that using docker in a vm robs docker of it's advantages so why use it at all if I'm planning on having a vm? I guess one answer is "because the software you want is delivered as a docker image".

This is the reason I don't use a shared database, I think that's what you're referencing?
Add ability to sync group structure with KeeShare - Status:Open

Passbolt and Vaultwarden has been recommended so far. Gonna look into them later! :)

anamethatisnt OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

Only client side from what I can find. The server seems to be Docker based.

anamethatisnt OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

Thanks for the recommendation! Gonna look into vaultwarden-deb.

anamethatisnt OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

Easier for me to add a vm in my current system to handle backup, rollbacks and system updates. I'm much more confident that I can quickly restore a vm to new hardware f.e. Which feels important for a password vault.

Thanks a lot for the passbolt recommendation. Gonna look into it now!

The problem with the KeePass apps is that it works by syncing database files which means that there can be sync conflicts. Okay for me to handle, but not for the rest of my household.
I really want a server-client system where everyone works in the same database.

Bitwarden is Docker, but also very well-liked. Might have to give up on the .deb / .rpm wish.
Thanks for the suggestion!
