Shit, there are discord mods? Is there a list somewhere of popular mods/what do you recommend?

Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims (krebsonsecurity.com)

Virtual private networking (VPN) companies market their services as a way to prevent anyone from snooping on your Internet usage. But new research suggests this is a dangerous assumption when connecting to a VPN via an untrusted network, because attackers on the same network could force a target’s traffic off of the protection...

I think that mitigation requires two things for it to work.

  1. You need to use a a Type 2 hypervisor (like Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion).
  2. That VM needs to be configured in NAT mode.

The two primary ways you can configure a network for a local virtual machine are NAT and Bridged.

Bridged mode places your VM effectively on the same network as your host OS, meaning that any DHCP server that exists on your network (rogue or otherwise) will give your virtual machine and IP.

In NAT mode, the virtualization platform itself includes a DHCP server to dole out IPs, and handle the routing between your virtual machine and your host OS's network.

The thought process is that if you trust your laptop, the DHCP address handed out for NAT mode will not have the VPN breaking DHCP option and your VPN inside the VM will not have it's route table screwed with.

Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an ansible.builtin.get_url to download the compose file before doing the rest.

Oh you sweet summer child. There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I'll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.

At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.

Then when the migration to self-driving semis is complete and that profit levels out, shareholders will be pissed that the profits don't continue to rise - so prices will rise again.

Adding to the Nazi comment - substack is basically a long form blog format, very similar (AFAICT) to Medium.

It's anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don't discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there's often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.

It's definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.

I use skyline in our environment and man, that log collection is crutch for getting tickets updated. Oh, you need the logs? Request what you need and I'll approve it - or I can just click a few buttons and upload the logs when I create the ticket.

I'm nearing the end of Infinite Wealth and I am finding every reason to keep with Ichiban instead of progressing the story.

Every menu item in Hawaii? Check.
All companions to 100% bond? Check.
Every table/meal conversation unlocked? Check.

Now I'm trying to collect enough materials to get the ultimate weapon for each job and do my best at getting A rankings on every mini game.

Are you looking for a Windows, server, replacement or desktop replacement? Your experience will differ depending on which one you're trying to replace.

For instance, if you're trying to replace Windows active directory services with a single Linux server, might have a bad time. I'm in the process of migrating from AD to FreeIPA, PowerDNS, and isc-dhcp (or something similar for DHCP).

pezhore ,
@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh, in that case you have a much easier job ahead of you, haha.

All of our Linux servers are running Ubuntu, except the FreeIPA system that runs a Redhat derivative.

True, but you can (for now) buy a smart TV and never hook it up to the Internet/use the smart functions.

I have a little Linux micropc hanging off my "smart" LG TV - the TV is effectively a 52" monitor.

Hrm, I can't find that on my FDroid install. Anyone else having that same issue?

pezhore ,
@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

Ahh that did it. Well, more accurately it led me to the problem - I had installed fdroid on a now deleted alternate profile. Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

Cheers!

At this point virtualization is legacy technology.

Man, I'd love to believe that - and please Lemmy, prove me wrong, but virtualization, especially commercial products like VMware have one huge advantage over things like kubernetes - it's effectively plug and play and has full support available.

  1. Boot off this esxi iso
  2. Deploy this VCSA OVA
  3. Have vCenter auto config VSAN
  4. Deploy fully ha/Drs managed VMs

I would kill for a similar experience with kubes - something that I cannot for the life of me get to work in my homelab given the myriad of walkthrough in various states of accuracy.

I'm assuming that just hopping on a VPN that exits in Europe is not enough to do this right? You probably have to do a fresh install and say that your location is in the EU?

The really sneaky and shitty part of this bill is enabling private citizens to sue - the Supreme Court decided that this is a valid run around first amendment rights in Texas SB 8. Now Republicans are using this citizen enforcement in all sorts of stupid areas that otherwise would be subject to federal injunctions or review for first amendment violations.

Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.

This is why I have about five of these bad boys: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.

One is in my utility room for my cable modem and our chest freezer, three back up my homelab and wifi AP, and one is for my office.

They've been bulletproof through storms, and when we've lost power, but not Internet I can't keep on working.

The big thing to look for is number of battery+surge outlets vs just surge outlets. Typically they top out at 1500VA - the more overhead for what you're powering, the longer you can go without mains power.

A screen/display is helpful for at-a-glance information like expected runtime, current output, etc.

I agree that 99.999% uptime is a pipedream for most home labs, but I personally think a UPS is worth it, if only to give yourself the option to gracefully shut down systems in the event of a power outage.

Eventually, I'll get a working script that checks the battery backup for mains power loss and handle the graceful shutdown for me, but right now that extra 10-15 minutes of battery backup is enough for a manual effort.

pezhore ,
@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

While I appreciate the sentiment, most traditional VMs do not like to have their power killed (especially non-journaling file systems).

Even crash consistent applications can be impacted if the underlying host fs is affected by power loss.

I do think that backup are a valid suggestion here, provided that the backup is an interrupted by a power surge or loss.

pezhore ,
@pezhore@lemmy.ml avatar

I didn't intend to use it on the chest freezer - it was mostly for the modem, but since I had spare battery capacity and outlets I thought what the heck.

The power load is practically nothing until it cycles, and even then it's fairly efficient - my current runtime is estimated to be about 18 hours, more than enough to come up with an alternative if we lose power in a storm.

I really need to get around to wiping my old content from Reddit. Much like Facebook, I just ignored it when I was done with the platform.

I use copilot a bit for my work - and I treat it like copy-paste from StackOverflow - sure that codeat look right, but you've gotta double check it and test it a few times before you commit and push.

But on the other hand, if we don't do that, we can have a whole new level of industrial espionage where Hyundai targets Toyota vehicles to make them seem less safe and take over a wider market share.

I have one and I highly recommend the wifi card. I also have a slightly working Carbon Dioxide sensor - I say slightly because it's readings are consistently off when compared to my Aranet. Supposedly there's a way to calibrate, but I haven't had time to dig into it further.

My only issue with the device is that I wish there were more tamagochi elements to the dolphin buddy.

I'm not going to down vote you - some people do like the social experience at work. I just respectfully disagree. I'm at work to make money and to keep my skills sharp - I don't (and have never really) enjoy hanging out with coworkers outside of the normal work related areas.

As a mostly introverted person, work from home has been a godsend. I can focus on communicating with my manager and coworkers in ways that are more comfortable for me - and thus result in a more positive experience for everyone.

Plus the amount of work I get done at home is easily double what I was doing when working from the office 5 days a week.

This is the right answer. I have dockerized Calibre and Calibre-Web for initial intake, then use Calibre-Web's OPDS feed with my Moon+ Android app for reading on my tablet/phone.

Calibre handles type conversions, metadata sync, and file organization.

Calibre-Web works well for browser reading on my PC.
