I've just been here, and active, for far too long 😛

I remember the days of Gitter

is that some sysadmin version of grindr ?

Damn I want to install some updates to you baby

What is this abomination? How do I use it?

that's a fancy plug

That's a weird one, for sure. Seems like there has to be a way push that out for...some use

but it's B to B then 🤔

#

that's also the USB2 variant in USB3 colours D:

static schooner
#

Only thing I can imagine is that there's a USB-C on the other end that could connect to the host in that case

#

Essentially flipping the cable around

glacial knot
#

ehh, some phones had OTG on their B port

#

and most of them didn't use the USB3 connector

OTG was pretty rare in the microUSB era

ehh, a decent amount of phones and some rare gadgets did support it

Pi zero has otg on a micro port. That's definitely current.

micro usb? o.0

dusky plank
#

Looks like it is pushable but I can‘t see how / get it out

clear ferry
#

Pretty sure you flip it

#

Not push it

#

I have a similar plug somewhere

#

So that the microusb is 90° off from the usb connector

Could be. I just boarded, can‘t get to it

That's the common method, but it looks like yours can't do this?

Is it any thoughts about NFS vs SMB? In my time it always been SMB is for windows and NFS for linux and thats how it is, but lately I hear SMB got better multichannel sessions, better user control and speed, while NFS is lagging behind. What is your thoughts about that?

#

My new rack computer is taking shape

glacial knot
#

cifs works better for me for clients that change networks, while the nfs drivers have better stability IME, but suck hard when the host goes down or you move out of the network (laptop)

late gate
#

very true. I have been looking a bit around lately, and also switched from reguler ssh to mosh. made a huge differnce. it handles network interuption, and lags less

glacial knot
#

main reason I don't use it as much for work is the lack of ssh agent forwarding :/

late gate
#

yesh I use it mainly on a phone. If you have ios, I highly suggest trying the app "blink" its one of the best terminal apps I have ever tried with even support for visual studio code, and remote spinup of dev environment

glacial knot

yea, no. I don't use ssh on a touchscreen o.0

Ok I am going to take a shot. Give me an alternative to this that can run without a whole ecosystem, It can be aruba etc, but it need to be WIFI6 compabiliy and not roof hanged (wall).

We use a bunch of UDM-Pro at work D:

late gate
#

I dont like UDM. I had several routers from uniif, even the edge series. The edge ones are alright and very business when it comes to config, but the UDM its so stripped down you cant even create a proper nat in the firewall

glacial knot
#

🤷

#

also what's proper NAT?

clear ferry
glacial knot
#

they are great. apparently it's impossible to properly use them when they don't get internet access o.0

clear ferry
#

Sounds about right

glacial knot
#

we only really use them to be lazy either way. So I assume we'll phase them out over time

clear ferry
#

Like Cisco Meraki in the past at least, if internet was down, so was the wifi

#

Forget about the internal network baby

glacial knot
#

yea, apparently the udms just don't allow any traffic out of their network if they consider the uplink "down"
So you can't use the systems behind them in an internal network without internet

Though I haven't tried that. Just heard it as a caveat of our setup

clear ferry
#

And people still buy this bullshit

#

It is beyond me

glacial knot
#

🤷 fancy onboarding with BT into cloud management is all we need

late gate
#

is it a good way to bind two visual studio code together, like one local and one remote, and jump between them from one UI? say I have a docker plugin on the remote, the vscode know that is related to the remote machine

#

And also, have you guys seen the new vscode competetior "fleet" from jetbrains. I really hope that will be nice as I personally love jetbrains products and always used them

glacial knot
#

vscode competitor 🤔

clear ferry
#

Just do vi and tmux baby

glacial knot
#

how about no. not open source D:

#

judging form jetbrains general track record, it'll probably be very good for normal usecases
But part of what makes vscode os interesting is the ecosystem. Which they will have a very hard time replicating

how could I tell if that's the reason? The service runs fine when manually started

hmm, why does it link to qbittorrent then?

clear ferry
late gate
#

its in the qb filesystem at least

clear ferry
#

can you see it inside the container ?

late gate
#

yes

#

I went into the container

clear ferry
#

So, hotio compromise, not qbittorrent

#

Lsio or bust

late gate
#

I think they used the api to trigger a script

#

I will look at traefik again

#

to harden it

clear ferry
#

Are you... Publicly exposing your qbittorrent?

late gate
#

no hehe

#

but I just have to double check nothing is exposed

#

I proxy everything through cloudflare so my ip should not be exposed at all

#

Im not sure if its possible to just let one domain name through the firewall, like thisispublic.domain.tld is ok, everything else is not

#

instead of split dns where errors can occur

solar zealot
#

split dns?

clear ferry
#

Yes, unlike combined DNS

solar zealot
#

That kinda just wouldn't stop anything from happening if stuff gets served through the same proxy

clear ferry
#

He is probably referring to DNS leaking though

solar zealot
#

Can always just manually set the host header on requests

late gate
#

yeah, will start with setting up ip whitelist first

clear ferry
#

Should be the default

#

Block anything by default that isn't your home country

#

Unless your home is the US

#

Then block the US too

solar zealot
#

Geo IP blocks kinda don't work that well I've seen

clear ferry
#

They will catch a lot

late gate
#

I only allow local range and cloudflare proxy ip

clear ferry
#

I get 3-4 attempts per week if I turn off geo blocking

#

then I add country geoblock

None if I have it on

Lsio or bust

Just make the VPN tunnel in your router

glacial knot
#

Effort. I'd also have to figure out how to only force that container through, since I don't want all traffic on there

I've seen people do it with containers, should be possible

what is that container for

Only reason why Tesla isn't broke is probably good lawyers, and SpaceX is because he isn't allowed to do anything

Because I can't imagine Tesla doing good profits based on how much they have to repair the cars

Dont forget the Tesla move, putting a big battery into the car to streamline the manufacturing, but locking it via software to a smaller capacity.

glacial knot
#

that's normal for quite a few products

#

have a single production line with tiny modifications at the end, or just software as difference

solar zealot
#

I wouldn't mind that to be honest. hopefully get some more lifetime out of it

glacial knot
#

And for the batteries, at least it'll take longer for the capacity to noticeably deteriorate

I would suspect that plenty of gas engines work like that as well

solar zealot
#

Are they at least cheaper to insure?

clear ferry
#

I would guess no, since most EVs just get wrecked if they get damaged

#

Because noone dares to repair batteries

solar zealot
#

No one dares to store these high explosive containers either

#

That would have been at least something I could have seen. Less dangerous to drive

clear ferry

I looked at the enyaq when I bought the XC90, but the back seat was shitty, both for passengers and children seats, and the trunk was as horrible as a golf

Also, the entire car feels like plastic

EV pricing is currently bound to the subsidies, not any production cost

That's kinda in the starting range of house prices

clear ferry

Ev prices have gone up here though

solar zealot
#

But with it being waste in a decade

clear ferry

Since subsidies have gone down

Still ~90% of all new cars are EV

brazen fable
#

Plug in hybrid is the way to go TBH

#

At least in the immediate future

#

There is no place on the planet that can serve full EVs with their existing electric grid and it'd take at least a decade of non-stop improvements and retrofits to make that happen

clear ferry
#

Been for a while

#

Last i checked ev+hybrid was 95% of sales

#

The number for 2022 was 79.3 EV sales, but it has gone up a bit since then let me see if I can find the current number

#

83% appears to be the all EV number

#

92.6% for EV\hybrid

#

and 21% of all active cars on the road are EV now

#

also norway laughs in 89% hydro electric power

hey all. random networking question: i have a USG and my Unifi AP's just aren't working well at all. I want to get a new setup like Eero. do I just plug the main eero base into a regular LAN port of the USG, and it will show up as a device, but then I manage the Wifi network from the Eero interface? anything else special i'd need to do with the routing / ip scheme? the Eero would be the wifi DHCP server, right? i think i would just need routes for the wireless devices to speak to the devices on the Unifi LAN?

clear ferry

Then you'd have two routers, which isn't great

#

Bridge Eero if possible, if not don't buy it

And yes, unifi is a horrible ecosystem

Isn't the difference between M1 and M2 minimal anyway?

dusky plank

Depends on the variety I‘d say

and the m1 doesn‘t do more than 16g unified ram, m2 goes to 24

Originally, or just now since they only offer base model units with older processors?

dusky plank

I don‘t follow..?

You can currely buy Macbook Air from apple with M2 in any configuration you can dream of - selecting processors, graphics circuits, storage, charger etc.
Or you can buy an M1 Macbook Air with 8 or 16 gb memory, and that's it.
I don't remember which configurations they offered before M2 was released, but they normally limit the older stuff significantly when new is introduced.

#

According to wikipedia there are M1 variants that support 128 GB. Though those are probably not for laptop use.

#

Wikipedia also says that Macbook Pro with M1 Pro came in 16 and 32 gb configurations.

Anyone knows how to get rid of email reply body? I used regex to match text, colon, new line >

#

Winx that is what majority of email providers use. But now I got an email that doesn't use the > for the "quote text"

#

Gmail hides it by default and calls it "hide quoted text"

#

But I'm parsing the email. And the inconsistencies make it hard to detect quoted text

agile jewel
#

Now if I make it so that > is not mandatory, it will catch many false positives

#

This email for instance didn't have the quoted text indented using >

#

Btw I'm using that regex to split the string into 2. And I only keep the first one

solar zealot
#

Do you have some examples of which you want to catch vs which to exclude

swift dirge
#

biggest problem, I'm afraid, is that there isn't a standard for this. It's all based on what the client decides to do. as far as the mail servers are concerned, it's just more text.

does any of you have a compose around for ldap with acme.sh certs?

prisma briar
#

... what?

solar zealot
#

the madness of openldap and acme.sh combined into a docker stack for mass destruction

#

or to somehow secure the connection, whatever works best

clear ferry
#

Yikes

solar zealot
#

yea sadly a lot of stuff requires it

clear ferry
#

I have to come across a customer who actually runs openldap

swift dirge
#

I have a couple of systems which use it.

solar zealot
#

I am switching over from a Synology backed one for rather obvious reasons

#

Would prefer proper oidc compatible stuff but that's kinda not available for anything

prisma briar
#

You might try checking out FreeIPA

#

I've never heard anything but horror stories about OpenLDAP

solar zealot
#

LDAP itself is pretty much horrible in any way

#

I would be happy to just use the keycloak internal storage but from there back to applications... Well there just ain't any support

prisma briar
#

Yea, LDAP with a working proper server can suck, but LDAP with a broken difficult server sounds enraging.

swift dirge
#

I'm not a fan of ipa, but that's mostly due to the complexity of the soultion.

#

(and I did come in on a solution someone else had installed)

solar zealot
#

You should see how Synology handles uids..... And how someone patched over a uuid class based on apples stuff

#

Whyyy can't having exchangeable auth solutions on web applications be something easy

swift dirge
#

when it stops working, because somewhere a certificate had expired, with no simple way to force that certificate to renew and deploy, I was cursing it. (yay for multimaster replication across 6 sites)

prisma briar
#

IPA's certificate management sucks, yea

#

Honestly if you want good reliable LDAP go with Active Directory

#

FreeIPA is functional but still not AD.

swift dirge
#

not being able to log into the web frontend in a single site, because a certificate didn't renew properly was fun. It started working a year later.

#

(thankfully we had the other sites)

#

And replication sometimes breaking. etc etc etc.

#

I'm replacing with a single master ldap solution, with a bunch of replicas off it. sure, it's not kerberos, but when I'm using ssh keys, it wasn't anyway.

#

AD is a decent solution. and it's very common. so plenty of other people will have run into any problem you have.

prisma briar
#

If you're using LDAP you're most likely using Kerberos to authenticate with the LDAP server.

solar zealot
#

Don't ad require a spooky windows server

swift dirge
#

not if you're using sssd with an ldap handler

#

(how to tell. The time doesn't matter)

prisma briar
#

sssd is going to use kerberos to authenticate users with the LDAP server

clear ferry
#

sssd works surprisingly well

#

With file permissions too

prisma briar
#

Samba/winbind work well too

#

sssd is probably the better choice now though

swift dirge
#

main benefit with ipa is that it makes 2fa dead easy

prisma briar
#

You can use Samba as an LDAP server too

#

I wouldn't create a new domain on it, but it is useful for adding additional DCs to an AD network.

late gate
#

Is it a good method of stopping docker containers to change the permissions themselves. even if I use linuxservers with the guid and uid options some files always get another user, like plex just changed Preferences.xml that is a new file created by plex

clear ferry
#

Just make groups automatically propagate to files and folders

solar zealot
#

I tend to just use volumes for persistency

#

That way permissions matter less for stuff that isn't shared between

#

but the issue clearly is the usage of plex instead of jelly :^)

clear ferry
#

I don't care much about the permissions of anything except config files

#

I run my backup copy jobs elevated anyway

#

Are there any alternatives to google firebase messaging API? For sending out notifications

#

I also don't feel like adding a server side library just to enable oAuth for authenticating to a cloud service

#

Also if someone would love to ELI5 how push notif even works... Go for it. Does the service worker open a websocket to a server or how does it receive the message?

clever mortar
#

Push notifications ... from what?

#

To what?

#

There's not exactly a shortage of alternatives to Google for sending notifications to just about anything

#

(or from just about anything)

agile jewel
#

From server to browser

solar zealot
#

fcm kinda feels like its more for android

#

for any custom stuff on mobile id kinda not recommend a websocket

agile jewel
#

Fcm should work for iphones, android and windows.

#

I only tested windows and android

agile jewel

#

That's one option, there's others

that is so many different replies I get with that. some say multiple cause its easier with compose scripts and get things hang together

#

and a psgree take like 12mb to run pr instance

#

things like nextcloud is notorious to be unstable cause of all dependencies

#

and dont forget about a matrix server (we are talking about 30+ containers to run one program)

clear ferry
#

I've been running the same database now for 14 years, just moved it from physical host, to vm, to BSD jail, to docker container

#

Nextcloud is not unstable at all either

late gate
#

no, im not saying its unstable, but it got some important dependencies

clear ferry
#

There are no dependencies if you run it in a container

late gate
#

I moved the docker back to a xfs image instead of open directory in hope that will help on user rights. that will use the overlay2 driver

#

this is not really something to guess from that image but you may be able to correlate it through where they put the electric/gas/sewage lines

so I got that KL9116 but it has no video

it has the OSD from the monitor itself but no menu or whatever

or

#

the main board is bad

#

which would be hard to fix

I would just ditch it and use the RPiKVM as then you can use it everywhere. Plug it into a dumb cheap kvm switch.

the main board is proprietary stuff

it is suppose to allow me to switch servers this way

this monitor is good

it allows me to push the keyboard in without closing the display

should I buy replacement parts for it

cyan nimbus

That's thats pretty slick never seen that ability

the shipping is stupidly expensive

the keyboard commands don't work to switch?

no video at all

I've used something like that. 🙂 better than the first version where the screen was a different unit which you could pop out. (so keyboard in the middle of the rack, screen popping out at the top and folding down.

lime egret

has the monitor OSD like "No Video" and stuff

cyan nimbus

Did you try to unplug the vga cable from the master unit at the back direct into a computer?

no the middle part is not standard vga but a ribbon cable

Just like I suck at math, even with books, but I am ridiculously good at chemistry and physics, even without books

well, i am dumb enough that when i try to get help on something that is broken, it is assumed i am just an idiot, and that there is nothing broken...

clear ferry
#

It's all numbers with different levels of interesting

I try not to make too many assumptions when helping someone. which includes that that person knows that they're asking.

Is it any easy to use computer rack planner online? (free)?

as in, a way to lay out a 42u (or whatever) rack with servers, switches and the like?

yes

yea, the amount of interesting is very important with maths

luckily advanced maths and CS are mostly interesting

suffice as to say, it would seem notify.discord is broken in the beta channel. why my install (docker) linked to beta, i am not sure...

static schooner
#

You would have had to point it there

#

Or you used latest

balmy bough
#

i just installed a docker...

#

in the upper right, it has an option to Leave Beta Channel, so i must be in the beta channel?

#

i don't know... anyway, i gave up on notify.discord...

Keep at it then It's a complex evolving system. I'm still learning things about it after 5 years.

Have anyone tried to use 1password for secrets in Home Assistant? sounds like a quite alright place to store secrets

clever mortar
#

HA doesn't support it

late gate
#

makes me wonder if it should be easy to make an addon for it as 1password can run its cli manager in docker

#

and decrypt and inject on the fly

clever mortar
#

Making the add-on would be the easy bit, injecting into HA's secrets... that'd be harder

prisma briar
#

Hmm, I just got the idea of putting my HA page behind a webauthn locked page

clever mortar
#

As long as you don't use the mobile apps that should work

#

(I did it as a proof of concept, works fine, just breaks the apps)

prisma briar
#

I use the app but I don't use any of the app-specific features so I could replace it with a chrome shortcut added on the home screen

#

That's what I did with Frigate

any suggestion for the best "todo" app out there? I am horrible at keeping my tasks in order

Until corp clears it, I don't care about it existing at all 😂

Power price has been average $0.05 so far this month, pretty good

Power price has been 0.00€ so far this month, pretty good

It's like $0.08/kwh here

Oh nice, negative power again

balmy bough
#

Hmmm, power here is $0.1763/kWh

clear ferry
#

Currently $-0.0011

balmy bough
#

only way here to get negative rates is to make our own power, and sell it to the power company

clear ferry
#

We can do that too, I just haven't bothered with basically free power all my life

#

When I buy a new house I might install solar panels

balmy bough
#

how is it, if you are not selling power to the power company, that you have a negative rate?

clear ferry
#

Because variable rate is the norm

#

And when they have to shed power we get paid to use it

a woman from Norway that my sister talks to says power can be really expensive there...

clear ferry
#

It can be

#

It has been

#

But for most of my life it has been at worst $0.04 per kwh

#

Last winter it was spiking at $1 per kwh

#

Now we are back at average of $0.05

#

3 years ago we averaged $0.001

#

My household currently pulls around 35000kwh per year

i have been trying to figure out the cheapest way to backup my Proxmox server, without running another server. best i could think of was to just use a USB3 external hard-drive. i thought of adding a JBOD, but that seems like it would draw more power than a USB external drive...

clear ferry
#

It will

#

A single external drive will probably be at worst 10w, a 24 bay enclosure will probably be 40+ without drives, add 8+ per rust drive

balmy bough
#

it won't have any redundancy, the USB drive, but for just backups, it may be alright

clear ferry
#

Cloud is basically free

balmy bough
#

yeah, but my internet is not fast enough to backup that much data quickly

clear ferry
#

You only need to back it up fully once

#

Then only diffs

balmy bough
#

proxmox does incremental backups? hmm, that's handy

clear ferry
#

No idea what proxmox does, rclone is sensible

balmy bough
#

🤔

#

the drive i picked up is 18TB, so it should handle most of what i need to backup.

#

just checked proxmox docs: no incremental backups, just full backups...

clear ferry
#

Proxmox is just Linux, it will run rclone

#

And pretty sure proxmox backup server can do anything

#

I've heard users praise it

balmy bough
#

that would require a second server to backup to?

clear ferry
#

In a sane world yes, but with a vm, magic

balmy bough
#

Hmmm, will it allow me to install a VM on a USB drive? i have no unallocated drive space left in my VM storage pool

clear ferry
#

That sounds... Horrible, hope you don't have thin provisioned VMs

balmy bough
#

i don't know what that is...
