Canonical Announce Major Ubuntu Kernel Change in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 50 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I'm surprised by this decision, since Ubuntu's strength is stability and by extension, friendliness to new users. Imo, a better move would be to ship a separate "unstable" release with non-LTS kernels.

Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

A concern of mine is the increasing prevalence of natural disastors as global warming worsens. Our plant and storage location may be safe now but natural disasters will be way worse and in unexpected locations as we're already seeing.

How can I set up a VLAN for IOT devices on a GL.iNet OpenWRT-based router? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 6 months ago by CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works to c/homelab@lemmy.ml

4 comments fedilink

I would like to create a VLAN that can access the internet but cannot access the rest of my network, with one exception. It should still be able to connect to my HomeAssistant server which isn't on the VLAN.

I have never set up a VLAN before so I am a bit lost. Does anybody have any good guides on how to set up something like this on a GL.iNet router? I am able to access the OpenWRT settings including interfaces, devices, etc. from LuCI.

What is the benefit of this over archive.org (which also offers torrenting)?

You can use exiftool if you're on Linux to read the metadata to see if there's anything concerning:

$ exiftool /tmp/my_video.mp4

Follow-up question: what open source software projects do you contribute to? I like using Liberapay or Open Collective, with Patreon as a third choice.

At least for platforms like YouTube, creators are making $0 unless they have a ton of watch ours and subscribers and can be monetized.

Most install guides include pihole with Unbound DNS but running your own DNS server is not a requirement for ad and tracker blocking.

UBlock is awesome. Pihole only really breaks if you add too many or too aggressive blocklists. The main benefit of pihole is you can block ads and trackers from any device on your network. I find the biggest offenders to be smart devices.

It's tucked away in the web interface, but Linux users are able to vote for features and show that they exist as part of the userbase.

What is your favourite selfhosted wiki software and why? (sh.itjust.works)

There are a ton of options listed on the Awesome Selfhosted list. I'm on the search for a FOSS option that I can use to document my homelab and personal tech projects.

Right now, I'm leaning towards wiki.js

Fitting another drive in a Dell Optiplex 790 DT? (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works to c/homelab@lemmy.ml

I am able to fit an HDD and an SSD in the drive bays that it came with. However, I'd like to put as many HDDs in it as I can.

I am not using the optical drive, so I'd like to replace it. It measures at 41mm thick which is 1+5⁄8 inches: A half-height drive bay. Is there a caddy that would work with this so that I can install a Seagate Barracuda 6TB 3.5" drive in it which measures 26mm thick?
