Radical.

I was just thinking there's somebody rewriting coreutils in rustnand there it is. I'm omnipotent!

magikmw ,

Also unless you can hyperfocus and literally exhaust yourself in those 8h, you can't do any type of white collar job for 8h a day. It's impossible to be mentally productive for that amount of time day in day out. Forget doing anything creative.

We can only assume he was doing a lot of work that made google just as evil as it is now compared to the alternative without him, which we'll get now.

magikmw ,

Who knows. Some tech is both better functionally and cheaper. We'll see. No need to hype anyway.

magikmw ,

TIL about solaar, thanks!

Then again my 2016 stock yaris had the best sound I ever heard anywhere.

You mean Strix Point? It's just a manufacturing codename, like all the Intel Lakes. They are sold under the numerical name still. Also, I always found funny that all intel cpus are lakes in the pcs. The irony.

I think you can use grafana to present vidgets from different dashboards in one.

My box sits in my closet, so can't really help much with docker or vm. But I use sunshine server with moonlight client. Keep in mind you can't fight latency that comes from distance between server and client. I can use 4/5G for turn based or active pause games but wouldn't try anything real time. On cable my ping is under ms, enough to play shooters as badly as I do these days.

I use AMD for CPU and GPU, and wouldn't try nvidia if using Linux as sever.

I did use to run a VM in xenserver/xcp-ng and passthrough gpu with a mock hdmi screen plug. A windows 10 vm, ran very well bar pretty crap CPU but I did get around 30fps in 1080p tarkov, sometimes more with amd upscalling. Back then I was using parsec, but found sunshine and moonlight works better for me.

I should also mention I never tried to support multiple users. You can probably play "local" multiplayer with both parsec and moonlight, but any setup that shares one GPU will require some vgpu proprietary fuckery, so easiest is to buy a PC with multiple gpus and assign one to each VM directly.

I use a 2016 Asus Zenbook with integrated intel gpu.

The performance is comparable. The only thing that's different is latency, obviously, although it's fairly negligible on LAN, and encoding/decoding sometimes createa artifacts and smudges, but it's better at higher bandwidth.

For cold storage it makes sense, but I always consider UX - there's not enough solutions that make private key encryption, especially remote, as easy as opening a link or mounting to a directory.

I've used s3ql before, and it's really nice for making the encryption transparent. Not something pre-encrypting before dropbox upload can provide.
More, you wanna share those files via dropbox native tools? The recipient better have your private key or you need to reencrypt specifically for them.

Mentioned tool: https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql

There is a trick you could do to send a WoL packet to a separate IP on the sender network and modify it so it is repreated on the network of the machine you want to wake up.

I can't find docs on thisb on mobile, but can look for it later.

It can't work like a typical IP packet routing tho. I've only made it work with a VPN connection.

Another thing you can do is ssh to your router and send a WoL packet from there on the machine's LAN.

I think this lead me on the right path: https://community.ui.com/questions/Having-trouble-allowing-WOL-fowarding/5fa05081-125f-402b-a20c-ef1080e288d8#answer/5653fc4f-4d3a-4061-866c-f4c20f10d9b9

This is for edgerouter, which is what I use, but I suppose opensense can do this just as well.

Keep in mind, don't use 1.1.1.1 for your forwarding address, use one in your LAN range, just outside of DHCP because this type of static routing will mess up a connection to anything actually on this IP.

This is how it looks in my edge os config:

protocols {
  static {
    arp 10.0.40.114 {
      hwaddr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    }
  }
}

10.0.40.114 is the address I use to forward WoL broadcast to.

Then I use an app called Wake On Lan on Android and set it up like this:
Hostname/IP/Broadcast address: 10.0.40.114
Device IP: [actual IP I want to wake up on the same VLAN/physical network]
WOL Port: 9

This works fine if you're using the router as the gateway for both VPN and LAN, but it will get messy with masquarade and NAT - then you have to use port forwarding I guess, and it should work from WAN.

I just wanted it to be over VPN to limit my exposure (even if WoL packets aren't especially scary).

It's generic advice, but check kompose - it can translate docker compose yml into a bunch of k8s objects, as far as it sensibly can.

The mose issues can come from setting up volumes, since docker has different expectations towards the underlying filesystem.

It does save a bunch of work of rewriting everything by hand.

magikmw ,

If you don't need external calls sip trunk is not needed.

magikmw ,

Agreed, specialist roles will survive this. Management roles, might not.

magikmw ,

Eh you can go with a blacklist approach and try to selectively block tracking instead of whitelisting everything until a site works.

magikmw ,

It's 100% calculated. The controllers of glassdoor decided to kill the site, likely persuaded with money, coercion or both.

magikmw ,

If you're the only user and just want it working without much fuss, use a single db instance and forget about it. Less to maintain leads to better maintenance, if performance isn't more important.

It's fairly straightforward to migrate a db to a new postgres instance, so you're not shooting yourself in a future foot if you change your mind.

Use PGTune to get as much as you can out of it and adjust if circumstances change.

In a hobby it's easy to get carried away into doing things according to "best practices" when it's not really the point.

I've done a lot of redundant boilerplate stuff in my homelab, and I justify it by "learnding". It's mostly perfectionism I don't have time and energy for anymore.

There's little technical reason, at least no security features were ever tested on the scale Windows is every day.

The real reason is nobody bothers to target Linux desktop users because there's dozens of us (dozens!) while there's billions of Windows users. It's about efficiently spending your money and time while investing into crime.

It's risky to the employer.

Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software (arstechnica.com)

Since Broadcom's $61 billion acquisition of VMware closed in November 2023, Broadcom has been charging ahead with major changes to the company's personnel and products. In December, Broadcom began laying off thousands of employees and stopped selling perpetually licensed versions of VMware products, pushing its customers toward...

Check xcp-ng with xen-orchestra.

Yeah if I'm biking on a sidewalk I'm making sure to not bother pedestrians. Bike is a guest there.

I think it depends. In my limited experience, because I have not tested this thoroughly, most systems pick the first DNS adresses and only send requests to the second if first doesn't respond.

This has lead at least a couple of times to extremely long timeouts making me think the system is unresponsive, especially with things like kerberos ssh login and such.

I personally set up my DHCP to provide pihole as primary, and my off site IPA master as secondary (so I still have internal split brain DNS working in case the entire VM host goes down).

Now I kinda want to test if that offsite DNS gets any requests in normal use. Maybe would explain some ad leaks on twitch.tv (likely twitch just using the same hosts for video and ads, but who knows).

Edit: If that is indeed the case, I'm not looking forward to maintaining another pihole offsite. Ehhh.
