Last week's Supreme Court decision in Cox Communications reshaped the piracy liability landscape, creating new urgency for site-blocking.

I am currently working on a crossplatform browser for the fediverse, which will allow you to unify identities from mastodon, bluesky, and anywhere else across the open/decentralized social web into a single feed for easy browsing and management. It will also serve as a highly customizable and feature rich fediverse client, allowing profile and client theme customization, as well as groups, rss subscriptions, and several other features I've yet to fully flesh out.

Things to note:

1. This is a pre-alpha project, and just seeking some very initial feedback on the very broad strokes of what is planned and what is done so far. If you are interested in collaboration and furthering the development of the project, please feel free to reach out.
2. Features such as groups (i.e. federating with the threadiverse such as lemmy/piefed) or rss subscriptions are not implemented yet, it's just a basic unified feed for bluesky/mastodon at the moment.
3. This is not a live site that can be visited yet, it's just an app on your client that authorizes access to the various platforms through oAuth flows. However, the plan is to eventually have a dedicated server hosting infrastructure in place, with individual platform identities able to be registered on a unified instance, and local/self-hosting data storage options.

So, please provide any and all feedback you have on what I have shown above, both good and bad, and feel free to ask clarifying questions on how the platform will work overall. Open to hearing what people think of the idea overall.

I have a setup that involves syncing files from my laptop to a server regularly. This has been working pretty well for a long time, apart from the odd verification failures. Both machines are WiFi-connected, so when I attempt to sync from a room far away from the WAP, the failure rates for larger files are higher, I would guess due to packet losses.

Today, I am sitting at the same spot I usually do this successfully with no issues, and I get errors after errors after errors. The odd one will go through after multiple tries, but generally it is just not working properly. I also got a broken pipe today during one attempt. This is not the first time it happens, and I feel crazy for thinking it is correlated to do bad weather, as if that should somehow affect my indoor WiFi quality...

Anyways, I tried to look at the rsync versions on the sender and receiver, and noticed that while both are the same application version number (3.2.7), they operate on different protocol versions (sender: 31, receiver: 32). I found this a bit odd, and I was unable to figure out how I would force my laptop to also use protocol version 32. I know I can pass a --protocol=NUM argument, but that seems to be used to force the sender to use an older version in case the receiver only has an older version, which is the opposite of my current situation.

And what is the likelihood that this is the cause of my woes?

I’ve been looking around on dating sites and similar apps and I’m trying to be careful about sextortion scams. To reduce risk, I’m using a prepaid phone that I bought with cash, and I set up a new Gmail account that isn’t connected to any of my personal information. The phone hasn’t been connected to my home Wi-Fi and there are no contacts, address, or credit card tied to anything. My question is: if I ended up talking to someone who turned out to be a bot or a sextortion scammer and I sent private photos or did a video chat, what could they realistically do with that if they don’t know who I am? If they don’t have my real name, social media, or contacts, is there still a way they could track me down or actually blackmail me? Or would they mostly just try to scare me into paying? Just trying to understand what the real risks are before I do anything stupid.

Given the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any "bare bone" solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who's on Windows. I'd rather that they didn't have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should "just work.

On my side
Should I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBS stream? Or can perhaps ffmpeg work as a server on it's own? I'm on Arch Linux, playing games on Steam, within dwm within X11.

On my friend's side
No idea how a windows user is supposed to receive such a video feed.

Edit: text and voice chat, we're considering Signal for.

Let's party ! Spread the word to the threadiverse ! :3

Today’s game is Mario Kart 64. I got my Steam Deck back after loaning it out too a family member in need, and the first thing I did too get it back too my usual “loadout” was install Mario Kart 64 (And Halo). Specifically Spaghetti Kart (as usual).

The first goal was to find a balance between performance and battery, as is standard for the Steam Deck. That is at least until i remembered “oh yeah. This is an N64 Game” and just cranked it down to the default.

While playing it, it got me thinking about my childhood. Especially how psyched I’d be as a child to see me playing Mario Kart 64 on a handheld device. Growing up I’d always seen those “portable N64” or “Portable Wiis” (my favorite had to be the Kill Mii by Shank Mods. Younger me thought a Wii in an altoids tin was the coolest thing ever).

And here I am, years older and I’ve got a fucking computer I can shove in my school bag now that can play not only retro games but also newer releases. It’s just interesting to think about in a way how things have changed.

I don’t have much to add because today has been busy, but I figured why not end with more retrospective today? When I started doing these screenshots it was just to share some screenshots I had taken over the years. And now it’s blossomed into a whole slew of things. It’s gone from 1 Screenshot, to 1 screenshot and a write up, and now Multiple Screenshots and a write up. And not only that but it’s led to me getting into photography as a hobby. Like DLSR and everything. Doing these has led me to new hobbies I don’t know if I’d gotten into without all the support. So in a way I just kind of wanted to say thank you.

Well, after a while in the container world ive come to realise that keeping all these containers up to date is hard work and time consuming with simple docker compose. I've recently learnt that portainer may come to hand here. I believe that feeding the yaml file through portainer allows the latter to take control of updates. Correct?

I have a Truenas Scale machine with a VM running my containers as i find its the easiest approach for secure backps as i replicate the VM to another small sever just in case.

But i have several layers to maintain. I dont like the idea of apps on Truenas as I'm worried i dont have full control of app backup. Is there a simpler way to maintain my containers up to date?

If you have technical problems, try this link.

Hi folks, hope your weekend is going well.

So I have put myself into a situation. I have a home server with docker installed running fine so far. In my home network I have multiple networks for different purposes. The whole network stack looks like this OPNSense

Switch

Ubuntu Server

The server is connected to a switch port with pvid 100, and runs on vlan0.100 Now my goal is to move some docker containers to other vlans. To accomplish that I have set vlan0.101 and vlan0.102 on my server as interfaces with their own IP and default gateway on that subnet (e.g. 192.168.101.10) Next step I set up macvlans for my docker containers Then I set the port to also allow tagged traffic, but kept it on pvid 100. Now on my OPNSense I changed the host ip of my server from 192.168.100.10 to include all 3 IPs so homeserver 192.168.100.10, 192.168.101.10, 192.168.102.10

This setup seems to work fine for internal network, however no services are reachable from the outside (internet) anymore.

My first question is: Am I thinking correctly about this? Or is this over-engineered bs at this point and there is a better way to put docker containers on different subnets.

Second question is: Any ideas what's breaking the internet access?

Thanks for the help in advance :D

EDIT: i have not changed the vlan of any container yet
