I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.

So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.

realbadat , (edited )

Ah, admittedly I avoid that problem entirely, I have an MTR, a ZR, etc running on devices here (hardware/software testing stuff), so I don't need to run meetings on my desktop often.

Edit: Just to note, I've done USB passthrough with VMs that were ZR builds and such, so that can be done. But I think if your sharing from there it can get messy (USB video capture and such as your sharing method, so on).

realbadat ,

Mythbusters streamlined is like that. A bit rough on some cuts imo, but overall just cuts the fluff.

realbadat ,

It's on reddit going back quite a few years, with a recent tracker update:

Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

realbadat ,

This is why Debian is my server of choice, and my work desktop of choice.

OP, There are some flavors of Debian out there that are more rapid release, like LMDE, Siduction, Sparky, even Kali (though I wouldn't recommend Kali as a primary desktop personally). Some based on Sid, some based on Testing.

Help with deployment

Hello nerds! I'm hosting a lot of things on my home lab using docker compose. I have a private repo in GitHub for the config files. This is working fine for me, but every time I want to make a change I have to push the changes, then ssh to the lab, pull the changes, and run docker compose up. This is of course working fine, but...

realbadat ,

Dockge would be more appropriate for that.

Watchtower has different functionality, mainly keeping them up to date with images.

You want Jenkins, GH Actions, or even ansible.

realbadat ,

Forgejo is my rec.

realbadat ,

For one thing, more FOSS focused. It's lighter/faster for me than a self hosted gitlab, there is nothing hidden behind a paywall, they are working on some nice activitypub integration, actions are really handy (yes it's a bit of yaml soup), codeberg is using and supporting it, a better focus on security and stability than gitea (where it forked from), the ux is clean, and that's about what I can think of off the top of my head.

realbadat ,

Imo, an add.

Creating a bug report or feature request can be done without having to create an account, and the backend tools (including blocking instances) are being completed first.

It's not like it's forced either. You can just run it local and have no federation (once the feature is out of course, right now you wouldn't have it regardless).

realbadat ,

Or XLR in the pro world

realbadat ,

Looks like a bi flag to me.

Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says (arstechnica.com)

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they...

Health insurance...

realbadat ,

Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.

realbadat ,

... Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.

realbadat ,

Just to mention a not-foss, but extremely well done DAW, cheap ($60 personal use, $225 commercial) and goes through 2 major versions before you'd need to pay again, free to download and try WinRAR style, supported on windows, macos, and Linux, etc, etc - reaper.

https://www.reaper.fm/

If you need a solid DAW, with support for all kinds of plugins and a dev team that's not a bag of dicks trying to screw you over with a cloud subscription and AI, this is it.

realbadat ,

FOSS is always a better option, as of today I don't think anything compares. And since they aren't a big company doing shady things, the licensed version is permanent, no big company buyout is going to impact anything other than upgrades.

realbadat , (edited )

No, just a nag. If you're recording/editing a few times a year, it won't be a bother. If you're in there often, it's worth the few bucks.

realbadat ,

I get that, there is a list of Linux friendly vsts out there that work well. I think they have a link to the list, but I don't really use drums in my workflow so couldn't give you any examples unfortunately. I did have to go into windows for some work stuff where I needed a specific vst though, definitely understand the issue.

realbadat ,

So that in 15 or so years, a class action lawsuit completes where Google now provides you with a whole $10 coupon to the play store and a check for $0.65.

realbadat ,

If I remember right on that one, users had even paid to have their data removed, too. But it was stored unencrypted. And that settlement included unidentified users which the money was going to be held onto for them to put ads in magazines or something. Wild.

The huge, nearly billion dollar Facebook settlement was something like $50/person.
Google's privacy class action suit was like $10 per person.

And boy oh boy can we be sure they learned their lesson! Facebook and Google haven't done anything shady with private information since, right?

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

realbadat ,

Let's see...

My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about... 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.

I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I'd say about $40-50/mo is what I'm spending on powering the servers in my office.

Definitely puts off some heat, but that's partially because it's all in one rack, and I've got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It's about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it's a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).

realbadat ,

Not really. It's gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google's.

Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying "I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE" and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.

It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.

realbadat ,

Nobody (worth caring about) would look down on you for not being in a situation to donate.

Besides, there are lots of ways to help that don't cost money, like telling people who do have money that they can donate to the internet archive. Equally valid effort.

realbadat ,

Considering the perspective of the poster, the misleading title, etc - are you actually sure they didn't?

realbadat , (edited )

Eh, I have a couple of issues with that. For one, I doubt CF would even respond to this. I could easily see them using this very writeup to sue, with all the admissions in it.

The bigger part though, is calling an online casino, whose own IT team (the writer) admitted they were knowingly abusing the plan they were on, the "little guy".

Are they small in comparison to Cloudflare? Absolutely, those schmucks have way too much control of the internet. Calling an online casino, whose own staff lied in the title, the little guy though... Doesn't sit right with me.

No, I'm not going to side with them, or with CF. I'm going to make my assumptions off what I know (two terrible companies, one of which has a liar writing an article where they pretend to not have admittted to their own lies about the subject), and I'm going to assume this:

  • Terrible casino used a plan they know they shouldn't have been on.
  • Terrible casino would have known what their traffic looked like for a long time.
  • Awful CF noticed, and said "Hey guys, wrong plan, talk to sales."
  • Terrible casino threatened to just leave awfuo CF.
  • Awful CF demands a year up front to ensure their costs are covered for previous abuse of the TOS.
  • Awful CF figures "screw it, they are stringing us along, just cut them off so we don't spend more money. TOS violation makes it easy."
  • Idiot IT from terrible online casino writes an article (stupidly) in which they admit to TOS violations, and pretends not to know about their own traffic from a resource they are relying on.

Seems pretty obvious to me. Barring further details, my assumptions are based on what I know, and I am perfectly happy sticking to that.

You do you.

realbadat ,

That is not a KDE issue.

realbadat ,

Pretty quick.

My kids are currently 5 and 2 had my vasectomy about 6 months after the second (wanted sooner but no appointments available, and it's first consult then another appointment).

Toughest thing for me was the second day. Day of I was given Valium, procedure was easy peasy. I'd call it a few days of discomfort, just plan to take it easy.

realbadat ,

Then you should know that to move things left, you need to vote more local progressives.

People don't start out going for the presidency (and they shouldn't, as the obvious recent mistake of a president shows).

Slowing down fascism provides opportunity for progressive politicians to make moves in the right direction, and take positions that are higher up the ladder.

Allowing a nose dive to fascism prevents the progressive folks from having an opportunity.

In short - yes, slowing it down is good enough at the presidential level.

realbadat ,

That really depends on the candidate.

And it depends on the main candidates as well. What we have now is "strong" words against genocide while continuing, or fascist genocide. The third party candidate (RFKJr) is an anti-vax, conspiracy theorist, covid-19 denying, whacko with name recognition for a while host of democrats, and was one until. He's a spoiler candidate. Voting 3rd party in this election is, imo, dangerous.

realbadat ,

I'm on a plan that predates the plans being effected by the price increase.

My price has been the same for years. That said, the plan I'm on was also because of an issue way, way, way back (like a decade ago), and actually being responded to by someone in the c suite after making a comment on the ordeal, who then handed me off to exec customer service to get my issue addressed.

I doubt anyone is getting that sort of response and result today, but I personally have no reason to change providers - Verizon and AT&T would be just as bad, if not worse. Verizon even tried to charge me for devices I had paid in full (and I was out of contract timing) when I switched to T-Mobile.

realbadat ,

My only thought there is "LOL"

  • Export violations (sanctioned countries)
  • Illegally collected personal information from children
  • Price fixing
  • Wage theft
  • Discrimination
  • Privacy violations
  • Mismanaging peoples 401ks

There are long, long, loooooong lists of violations MS has been caught for. The penalty has always been a fine small enough that it's a cost of doing business.

realbadat ,

I'm aware of them.

Let's look at some of the most historic:

  • NY Presbyterian Hospital - with no real efforts on their end to prevent the violation of thousands of records, they got a whopping fine of.... Under $5 million.
  • AHC - lack of risk analysis, failures in procedures and policies, etc - Just over $5 million.
  • Data breaches - usually around $4-5mil, the worst case being Anthem, about 80 million people effected - $16 million in fines. A record.

Criminal offenses? Yeah, plenty of those - with individuals, usually related to that information then being used for other purposes (scams, theft, etc).

But a company like Microsoft, you're going to have a hard time convincing me it's going to ruin the company. The history of HIPAA violations and their fines tell a very different story.

realbadat ,

Their scheme hatchery department is top notch, I'm sure they are already working on more

realbadat ,

Bigger number sounds better for the ISP.

realbadat ,

For nginx - https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/blob/develop/docker/rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d/include/block-exploits.conf

That's what is enabled when you check that box.

realbadat ,

So a few comments...

  • I'm not a fan of Ubuntu server, in part because their distribution of docker through snap can conflict with snap from the docker repo. My preference here is either Debian or Proxmox (debian + great virtualization setup). Mint is good, though I like LMDE (Debian edition) more, in part because I prefer Debian in general.
  • You may want to check out dockge. You do need to have docker running for it, but it's a simple setup, and it has a clean interface for docker compose. Good for getting used to it imo.
  • grub has no part in docker, so it's something else hanging.
  • What are the exact errors when you enter "docker-compose up"?
  • what is in your docker-compose for each of these?
realbadat ,

Depends. Smaller townships without regular access to a breathalyzer, yes. Or cops trying to get you to admit that you are intoxicated.

I walked a straight line while touching my nose because the cop smelled alcohol in the car (rightly so, my wife, then gf, was smashed). Took about 10 seconds for him to go "So obviously that's all her, have a good night!".

So yes, it does happen.

realbadat ,

Just run windows in a VM for when you absolutely need it. It's how I can do my job but not be constantly barraged with ads in a start menu.

realbadat ,

I'd second this, if only because it's super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don't want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.

That's said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.

realbadat ,

SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.

realbadat ,

What does that have to do with the question I replied to?

realbadat ,

With the tiniest, slimmest, barely existent bit of effort to make an alias - yes.

But OP would clearly prefer to complain.

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

realbadat ,

For lots of services that require little CPU and ram, I use tiny/mini/micro PCs, bought used. I get them for anywhere from $100-$400, and usually all I do is drop in an SSD. That includes Linux VMs when I'm testing distros or deployment on a distro, since 32gb ram on the host is more than enough to leave 4-8gb ram to the VM.

For some heavier applications, I also have a 4RU case stacked with drives, which I use as a third NAS (VM with drives passed through), large DBs, etc. Its just a 1700x with 64GB ram, and that's plenty.

For most things (DNS, a few web servers, git, grafana, Prometheus, rev proxies, Jenkins, personal fdroid repo, homepage, etc) I just use the tiny/mini/micro's. Imo, you can't go wrong with those for your services, and a big case with spare parts and lots of drives for your NAS. Especially at the price you mentioned. Just remember you can separate your services easily, so don't focus on getting everything in one spot, you can make your requirements (and cost) go up quickly.

realbadat ,

Agreed, I prefer trunk with native to the vlan for services, each container that the reverse proxy will hit in its own vlan (or multiples for differing sets of services, but I can be excessive).

I'd block any traffic initiated from that vlan to all others, and I'd also only allow the specific ports needed for the services. Then fully open initiated from the general internal vlan.

realbadat ,

Only reason I still have prime is simple - diapers. I save enough on them alone to justify it. But once that's done (another year-ish), I don't think it will be worth it anymore.

And yet, I still don't use prime video. It's just not a good experience, and obviously getting worse. And as I have kids, the management of what I'm ok with them seeing is way easier on JF than prime video.

realbadat ,

Because that would be a 40 minute drive. And there is a BJs... About 1/4 mi away from the Costco.

No, there aren't bulk stores near me.

realbadat ,

I say "no", but for your case and for your mom, I'd agree with what others have said, a standalone library.

BUT! Only the Christian movies. Put them in a library called "The Christerion Collection".

realbadat ,

That's fair, I'd agree the article does a terrible job of differentiating, and a company calling itself a library in it's name doesn't make it a library, just a rental service playing pretend for profit.
