I’m assuming that OP is referring to the white (sometimes foam, sometimes shitty microfiber) packing material that is placed between the keyboard and screen for shipping. Since most mice are optical based the tracking surface doesn’t really matter unless you are someone who needs extreme precision so this “keyboard cover” would probably be fine.

Packets initiated from the NAS to the Internet are allowed. Packets initiated from somewhere on the Internet to the NAS are not allowed.

If the NAS requests files from a download server they will be allowed to come through the firewall because the files are a response to a request and not unsolicited traffic. I hope that makes sense.

Id say that the obvious answer is the Linux community with the most members. !linux has more than double the number of subscribers of the next most active Linux community.

You don’t need an account on lemmy.ml to subscribe to any community there. For example, I run my own self-hosted instance and none of the communities I’m subscribed to are from my own instance.

How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity (www.wired.com)

“This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system.”

Recently commented on a different post about setting up a VPN. Check out firezone

I don’t recommend using Tailscale or anything that relies on a third party.

Dynamic IP is one that changes. I think you meant static IP.

stown ,
@stown@sedd.it avatar

If you’re going to do that you may as well cut out the extra server/service and run regular wireguard.

stown ,
@stown@sedd.it avatar

If you don’t have a static IP then you will automatically have a dynamic one. You don’t need to ask for a dynamic IP as that is the default. And I’m no idiot, I’ve used dynamic DNS services for for over 20 years.

@stown@sedd.it avatar

You can do all of those things with wireguard as well… I’m not seeing any benefit to running Tailscale/headscale.

VPN to home network options

I currently have a server running Unraid as the OS, which has some WireGuard integration built in. Which I’ve enabled and been using to remotely access services hosted on that server. But as I’ve expanded to include things like Octopi running on a Pi3 and NextcloudPi running on a Pi4 (along with AdGuardHome), I’m trying to...

@stown@sedd.it avatar

I can recommend firezone as well. Served me well before I decided to host my wireguard server on OPNsense.

I still miss the super easy client setup from firezone! OPNsense really needs to make it easier.

@stown@sedd.it avatar

Tailscale is a service that relies on a third party to facilitate the VPN connection between your client and server. It is designed for people who don’t want to or cannot forward ports. Your server and your client both talk to the Tailscale servers and traffic is routed that way.

Where do we draw the line? Is a stone chiseled wheel considered technology and could I appropriately post a picture. How about a steam engine?

Stop downloading all those free-to-play-pay-to-win games. Basically any app that is advertised for but free to use is going to maximize the amount of data they harvest and the number of “notifications”(ads) they send you.

Suddenly getting a server error on my instance

I don’t know when it started, I usually check my instance through the Voyager app and it never showed a problem, but I’m suddenly getting “server error” and 502 bad gateway errors on my instance on desktop. I haven’t made any major changes (read, any at all) since I last confirmed it worked on desktop....

This is an issue that has been present for a long time but recently came back worse with the 0.19 update. It is caused by lemmy-ui failing to load the site icon and it typically happens whenever the the docker container is started/restarted while you have a site icon set. The only fix at the moment is to manually delete the database entry which contains a link to the site image.

stown , (edited )
@stown@sedd.it avatar

Check this GitHub link for instructions. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1530#issuecom…

Once I get home from work this afternoon I will post my docker-compose.yml which has an extra container that automatically deletes the database entry then resets it.

EDIT: Here is the extra container from my docker-compose.yml


<span style="color:#323232;">  icon-fix:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    image: iconfix:latest
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    command:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - /bin/sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - -c
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        sleep 10
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        # Remove Site Icon - be sure to set your postgres password
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        PGPASSWORD=<POSTGRESS PASSWORD HERE> psql -U lemmy -h postgres -d lemmy -c "UPDATE site SET icon = NULL WHERE id = 1;"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        # Refresh Site - replace example.com with your sites domain
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	curl -f -sS -H "Host: example.com" http://lemmy-ui:1234 > temp.html
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        # Reset Site Icon - Set your postgres password and replace the URL with one that points to your icon
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> 	PGPASSWORD=<POSTGRESS PASSWORD HERE> psql -U lemmy -h postgres -d lemmy -c "UPDATE site SET icon = 'https://example.com/pictrs/image/2cc85182-5739-4c86-b982-94fc913e80d3.webp' WHERE id = 1;"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    depends_on:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      - postgres
</span>

And here is the Dockerfile for building the iconfix image


<span style="color:#323232;">FROM docker.io/postgres:latest
</span><span style="color:#323232;">RUN apt update
</span><span style="color:#323232;">RUN apt install -y curl

That’s the thing. It’s called a war crime because it’s a crime to commit it during a war. Israel is making the calculation that even if they do kill Gazan citizens it’s ok because they got the bad guy too, it’s a terrible calculation.

I call you evil because you are making apologies for a Government that kills civilians. You have decided to only listen to the words of their public relations officers when determining intent and have ignored the actions and inactions that reveal their actual intentions.

Still just one app store. The others are media stores.

I would be curious to see how they separate those different catalogs on their backend. I assume that the store detects which device and serves a list of compatible apps.

Pretty sure that’s only if you use their proxy service on your domain. Regular, non-proxied, DNS should not have any restrictions like that.

Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...

Made Hosting Lemmy Easy

Hey all, am working on project (jatayucloud.app) that helps with hosting of federated communities like lemmy. there is technical barrier when hosting lemmy (configurations, docker commands, ssl, security) so i have created a vps that takes care of all this and allows you to run your own community on your own domain !...

@stown@sedd.it avatar

I recently figured out how to run alternative UIs on the base domain (at least with photon), let me know if you’re interested in offering this feature to your clients and I can show you my docker-compose config. It involves running a extra proxy container.

NAS/Media Server Build Recommendations

Hi everyone. I’m on the verge of building a new NAS/Media server, and wanted to check here to see if any of you could provide some recommendations based on my goals (below) or your current builds. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 running some basic services (Portainer, Home Assistant, Plex, sonarr/radarr/prowlarr, sabnzbd,...

For your CPU I recommend Ryzen 5700G. Powerful enough for everything you want to do, the TDP is only 65 watts so it’s not going to destroy your power bill, has a decent integrated GPU, and costs only about $200. Another positive is that it uses DDR 4 so you can load up on that for pretty cheap too.

stown ,
@stown@sedd.it avatar

As far as motherboards go, you would probably be fine with any consumer desktop brand but you should probably look for something with dual NIC. If you want something a bit more robust AsRock Rack has some really great options. I’ve been using the X470D4U for about 4 years now without any issues.

Hi! I’m hoping for some guidance upgrading my instance. I’m still running on v0.17.3 because I ran into some issues upgrading to 0.18 and didn’t have time to really figure it out.

I can second this. It took a while after an update for the domain to show properly and not give an error. I don’t know exactly how long but I started it in the early morning and it wasn’t working but by 11 am it was all sorted out.
