- Comment on How do you isolate a printer in your homelab? 2 days ago:
CUPS and USB. Dead simple, no messing with network stuff or trying to get proprietary apps working with vlans or firewalls.
- Comment on Running web sites makes me not want to - Lowkey Party 2 days ago:
It doesn’t need to. Like any similar site, it can cache a lot of that in databases like redis, or cache the rendered page in part or in whole.
- Comment on how often do your 3rdparty "refurb" drives last? 3 days ago:
Two of mine are coming up on 11 years of hours. I’ve had them maybe 3 years.
Also, they’re 6tb drives, so I bet they were pretty expensive when new.
- Comment on What are you using RSS for? 3 days ago:
I used to have it get a digest of reddit posts from my subscribed subreddits, so that I could still get the stuff not posted elsewhere, without actually going to reddit.
- Comment on What second hand PC/Laptop should I buy for home-labbing. 4 days ago:
Whatever is available on your local secondhand market. Mini PCs are usually pretty good. Less standard parts though, same with brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo.
- Comment on recommendations for small, energy efficient hardware 5 days ago:
ARM SBC or NUC with an N150 processor
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
People with a strict style guide. I’ve seen it in a number of projects over the years.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
It doesn’t look like AI output.
- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 1 week ago:
I passed the Anubis or whatever captcha it was when I first visited the page. You might be right, but they’ve already lost my interest.
- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 1 week ago:
Yeah, and I can see agent files in the daemon repo, so the project is configured for AI. But if I try checking the commit history I get a login page and if I try actually opening files I get the “NO!” on all subsequent pages. Go ahead, try it. Any project hiding their stuff like that makes me very distrustful.
- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 1 week ago:
Looks AI. I tried to look at the source on their gitlab server but it just said “NO!”
Like literally, that’s what the page said. I’ll pass.
- Comment on Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices? 1 week ago:
Pick one thing at a time and evaluate alternatives.
The biggest problem is that Apple is an ecosystem, and Linux isn’t. Apple works to make sure that all their stuff is tightly coupled and works well together. Anywhere else, you’re going to have to manage each thing independently, and a lot of stuff isn’t going to work together. Your files, email, calendar, calls and texts, and other messages are all going to be provided by separate systems, and not always handed off from PC to phone.
- Comment on How much pain should I expect upgrading my server from Debian 12 to 13? 1 week ago:
I had no trouble at all.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I’m also liking Drivebase supporting multiple cloud providers, as I have files in more than one place.
Does this not means you have files on cloud provider platforms?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The article says the devices and apps reviewed are already free, no cloud or subscription. And it sounds like you don’t need the app to use the first device at all.
- Comment on LiveOverflow - php situation 24h later (YouTube) 2 weeks ago:
Unattended application to test. If it passes testing, unattended application to prod.
I still wouldn’t do this for any critical service, but for a “move fast and break things” system like Facebook where it goes down and nothing bad happens, sure.
- Comment on For users with public facing services: How does the current explosion of AI-discovered vulnerabilities affect your threat model and willingness to be public facing? 2 weeks ago:
The only thing I have exposed is my VPN, so no change here.
- Comment on cheap remote kvm 3 weeks ago:
Does it support vPro or whatever the AMD equivalent is? I know it exists, but I’ve never set them up or used them.
- Comment on Netbird and Pihole 3 weeks ago:
It’s for his business
Nope. Nope nope nope. You don’t want to be the one responsible for anything when he and his employees are having problems, especially at odd hours or when you’re not around to fix something.
- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 3 weeks ago:
Even without data compromise or pivoting, they can still mine crypto on your hardware, launch a ddos, spam email, do botnet stuff, or host CSAM.
- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 3 weeks ago:
I’m guessing this requires it be exposed to the Internet. Please stop exposing services to the Internet.
- Comment on problems with AR8151 onboard LAN 3 weeks ago:
Does it persist if you change the cable, the device on the far side, the OS? What’s in the log when it drops?
- Comment on PSA to Home Assistant users 3 weeks ago:
No, your credentials have not been “hoovered up”. A hash is not reversible, and a partial hash would match far too many potential passwords to be any more accurate than random guesses.
Still, uploading any data, especially identifying data, should absolutely not be enabled by default.
- Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI? 3 weeks ago:
It’s scheduled maintenance so it doesn’t count toward downtime. Besides, I’m not trying to use it then anyway.
- Comment on Any DDNS recommendations? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, there was a thread just yesterday with a bunch, and I’m sure you can find more with a search
- Comment on Wattroom for bike training 3 weeks ago:
The linked page says it supports Chrome on Android.
I wouldn’t expect too much support, though. The biggest contributor to that project is AI.
- Comment on Finally escaping Windows, ironically thanks to AI 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the proper way to do it.
There’s a guy at work constantly asking AI everything on his second screen. He came to me after failing to figure out an issue using it. I said “oh yeah let’s look at the documentation, I bet there’s an example for this exact scenario” and sure enough there was. Made the change, tested and working.
On the other hand, any time I want to do something with Ansible, I start off reading the docs, can’t find what I need, scour a bunch of search results, and when that fails somehow AI can produce a working example of what I need in a few tries.
- Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down 3 weeks ago:
Why not run just the VPN on the VPS instead of opening everything directly?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Opnsense on whatever. Plus pihole for DNS/adblock.
- Comment on Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why? 4 weeks ago:
it’s really easy to set up secondary nameservers as a mirror
You assume a resolver will actually proceed to the secondary ns and not just give up when the first one is down. There is a lot of badly-behaved software out there.
