Rustdesk works great, and it's self hosted.

huskypenguin ,

Reminds me of Shadow & Claw.

Weird book club. Read some Gene Wolfe if you like the strange.

huskypenguin ,

Wow. What am I reading.

huskypenguin ,

If you ever cool off your super with cold water, this happens.

Definitely start with a beefy zigbee coordinator. I like the Ukrainian made SLZB-06. It can be USB or networked. I prefer networked, that way I can move it to a more central location in the house and keep my HA running as a VM in the basement.

Sonos is great but it's just a few dollars more for an even better device with more flexibility (if you're starting fresh).

I started with a conbee which led to a lot of issues.

huskypenguin ,

Try bazzite.

huskypenguin ,

My heart is always with Debian, but Bazzite is a surprisingly useable immutable OS. I would suggest using it for your core suite then use Distrobox w/ Debian for any apps outside of that. It's so snappy!

huskypenguin ,

Wayland is non-stop issues.

Plex has a known and very old issue of improperly transcoding 5.1 audio to stereo and dropping the center channel. It makes movies seem super quiet. That's why I switched.

huskypenguin ,

Now you have the internet and arch wiki.

I don't feel like the Linux communities were really a friendly space in the early 2000s. And the Ubuntu forums felt like they became powerful in 2010. I played around with Linux briefly in 2005 and felt like there wasn't much support for solving certain issues.

And when in doubt, ask chatgpt. It may give you a wrong answer but it can point you in the right direction.

huskypenguin ,

And you can always send me a question if you run up against something. I'm not an expert by any means but I've made it my daily driver for a couple years now.

huskypenguin ,

They apologized and admitted that it was a dumb thing to do.

huskypenguin ,

I love it, it works. Running a server is super easy and the speed is quite nice for a free piece of software.

huskypenguin ,

Which air conditioner? Sounds like a gem.

huskypenguin ,

That is the way of Tuya unfortunately...

I am, and I'm using Neth Server. I use it only for an AD, TrueNAS for file storage and a few VMs, portainer for applications. It was for practice, but Neth makes it so easy, why not? And it can help with some LDAP applications (but I haven't set them up yet)

huskypenguin ,

Not the original commenter, but I don't understand how that would increase your attack surface. The AD is inside the network, and if an attacker is already in, you're compromised. There might be way to refrence a DNS server with a windows server, but then you're running windows and your life is now much more difficult.

As per DNS, the AD server must be the DNS provider. If you run something like nethserver in a VM you can use it as a dns & ad server.

The domain thing, the AD server is the authorative for its domain. So if you set it as top level, like myhouse.c()m, it will refrence all dns requests to itself, and any subdomains will not appear. The reccomended way to get around this is to use a subdomain, like ad.myhouse.c()m. Or, maybe you have a domain name to burn and you just want to use that?

huskypenguin ,

Samba v4 has been able to be a domain server forever and it's free. You can also use Synology if you want it off the shelf.

It may have been me both times. I went down a deep AD hole recently, and was trying to find an easy open source way to do it.

My advice is to put whatever you choose into a vm and snapshot it right before you configure the AD. I think I reconfigured mine 8 times before I was happy.

What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs? (lemmy.world)

I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn't figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I'm trying to get gpaint...

huskypenguin ,

I was coming here to post this.

huskypenguin ,

Because people won't pay for it. We are in the minority.

huskypenguin ,

It still clutters on OS upgrades.

huskypenguin ,

Hmmm, maybe I need to dig in settings. When Apple Arcade became a thing I found new apps on the Home Screen. I still think it's the only streaming box outside of a shield that is appropriately powered amass doesn't serve ads. And unlike the shield, Apple tv has a clear future.
