Interesting, I thought that the Ryzens were better than Intel's offerings?

What were the issues?

So, no weird firmware issues with Framework, like Tuxedo had?

Reitti v4.0.2: A New Map Experience and Update Progress in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Have you considered any integration with Home Assistant?

I'm tracking my family for automations when they arrive / leave home, so the GPS apps can't send to 2 different webhooks at the same time.

Either HA could get data from your database, or (preferably for latency of automations) HA passes it's data on to your database.

Thoughts?

Edit: ah... ok... found your notes on the main website, my bad not reading that first

Colota 1.x - Open Source Android GPS Tracker with selfhosted backend support in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the background on the tiles.

Yeah, from my PoV, I'd like to use the OSM data that's already on my phone (from other OSM based apps), but I understand your point.

So, where's your VPS? In EU?

FYI: Got the app installed, followed the instructions (which refers to a Home Assistant template that doesn't exist on the app?), modified the default custom template with tid set to an identifier and ... I appear to be at home 🙂

Thank you

you can predownload map tiles from a tile server I selfhost or use your own tile server.

Could OSM tiles be used? Ie direct the app to an OSM server and download their data?

I've no idea how tiles work, so this may be an absurd question 🙂

I'm currently using GPSLogger, but Home Assistant's integration for it can't handle >1 device... if I install your app on multiple devices, can Home Assistant distinguish between them? Ie does the data nclude a DeviceID of some kind?

Edit: ok, I think I've found the answer in your Home Assistant documentation

How Do you keep your services updated? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

I don't use docker, etc, so for me, if it's in the normal Arch repos or AUR then I don't need to think about it until there's a .pacnew file to look at

Then, it's just the odd git pull on literally 2 devices.

All organised by ansible...

(well except the .pacnew, but I think it's nice to keep in touch with the packages)

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Just a word of caution...

I try to upgrade 1 (of a similar group) manually first to check it'a not foobarred after the update, then crack on with the rest. Testing a restore is 1 thing, but restoring the whole system...?

VPS in Europe, not AWS/Google/M$ in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, ok, fair enough. That probably answers all the questions...

Virgin will be throttling, AND having internal problems 🙂

Be interesting if your VPS hop also gets throttled...

VPN throttling: are you sure your DNS traffic's going through the VPN tunnel and going to an external server, not your ISP's?

If they can see where you're browsing, maybe that's triggered something.

If it was only for a few hours though, maybe they just had an internal problem?

Give them a call and ask them. And if they're doing something weird (throttling traffic), they should be able to tell you why... and consider leaving them if they're not providing the service you need.

calendars off the cloud - what do you use? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True, but, I don't need docker or a VMM to run it in, or as many resources. Backups are easier, updates are predictable... and are adverts now a thing with the AIO?

I come from the early days when every NC point release needed a lot of tweaks to even make it work... hence the AIO was born from that mess.

I just found a simpler solution...

Do it.

I found no-one used the NC interface for anything, so it was a lot of maintenance for no reason.

I replaced NC with Radicale and syncthing

Hows Volumio These Days? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm running a <cough, cough> years old instance of Volumio 2 on a Raspberry Pi 3

The security of this is terrible, but it sits in my bedroom with a local USB drive full of music and works absolutely fine with a Nanosound DAC audio preamp hat / board which makes it sound lovely... which I don't want to change (it handles a remote control with power on / off)

When Volumio 3 came along, I wasn't impressed, didn't see the software improving much... it was starting to be more of a pull towards their subscriptions

So, I've left it alone and feel like it might be worth a revisit.

So, how's Volumio 4? Or... should I consider another FOSS product ( has to work with the same hardware).

Logseq --> Silverbullet (feddit.uk)
 

TL:DR; Has anyone here successfully migrated their data & workflow from Logseq to Silverbullet?

... wall of text follows ...

I've been using Logseq for a few years and it has been a life saver at work, trying to track the stuff going on - honestly, I'd have burned out if I hadn't found it.

However, I still haven't quite got all the things organised and I feel Logseq's development is taking a different track that I don't want to go down (db, collab, etc)

SilverBullet.md appears to be developing into the solution I'm looking for... although I don't want a server-client architecture, so I'm running it standalone at the moment.

But, the learning curve feels so steep it's tending to curve back on itself... or... I'm just too busy to focus on learning it.

I see how the file structure works, but I don't understand how the templates, journals, etc work (really simple.in Logseq)

It appears to be 1 person developing this with lots of helpers who all seem happy to chip in with some AI generated code in the forum, but no meaty documentation, examples, etc.

If you've read this far... is it worth sticking with? Is there an FAQ I've missed? Any pointers or encouragement...?

System Redundancy (feddit.uk)
 

After being home for weeks, I went away for business, the 1st night away there was a brief powercut and the firewall (on a UPS) seemed to get stuck.

So, that's no DNS, DHCP, or connectivity between wifi and LAN... All due to (admittedly aging) hardware issue.

Since then my entire home system has had issues whilst it all settles down.

It made me think about getting some redundancy into the system to handle a single failure.

So,.can you give me any insights into High Availability like CARP (for pfSense), VM failover (on Incus?), mesh wifi, Home Assistant, etc?

Of course there are going to be single points, like ISP line, etc, but seems like something to test out.

Holiday Upgrade Disasters (feddit.uk)
 

So, just a light post, I upgraded my Pi4 last night and found the Linux firmware breaks a 32bit install.

I've been meaning to change to 64bit for months, but as it's my DMZ box for torrents, radicale, etc, then it's just finding the right time to convert an adhoc setup into my ansible scripts.

Luckily I had a SD backup from September to get it running again

So, what have you broken over the holidays?

Any experience of Diode? (feddit.uk)
 

I stumbled across Diode whilst looking for ways to do secure off-site backups (to my own equipment at another house) and it feels like a paid-for TOR (Ok, there is a free option)

I'm looking for any real experience as the site has too much marketing lingo in it:

Every Client is secured with a public/private key self-custody identity

And this doesn't seem very dynamic if I want to change something:

Diode’s Blockchain Name System can be used for Client friendly names

And somewhere on the site it infers unlimited storage...!

So, is the free option worth me looking into, or is it a waste of time?

Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? (feddit.uk)
 

I have a few VMs and PMs around the house that I'd setup over time and I'd now like to rebuild some, not to mention just simplify the whole lot.

How the hell do I get from a working system to an equivalent ansible playbook without many (MANY) iterations of trial & error - and potentially destroying the running system??

Ducking around didn't really show much so I'm either missing a concept / keyword, or, no-one does this.

Pointers?

TIA

Vivaldi, now with added VPN (vivaldi.com)
 

Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes... it now has Proton VPN built in.

It's actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I'm in two minds whether I like that... or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it's not completely anonymous, but it's a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so... yeah, it's ok...

Options for "iPlayer will stop working on this device" (feddit.uk)
 

"On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device."

OK, so, I didn't purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it's my mother's then, well, I'm the one that has to "fix" this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

Comments?

As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

NAS vulnerabilities (www.theregister.com)

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here...

It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of

pfSense DHCP (& DNS) Performance (feddit.uk)
 

pfSense... Anyone have much experience with the new Kea DHCP server?

I'm using 2.7.2 (Community Edition) on a fairly good Celeron based system that's not heavily loaded, but I have 7 network segments (VLANs and physical interfaces), so I have 7 DHCP pools / configs.

Just adding 1 more static reservation can cause a significant delay when reloading the service and because I register static reservations in DNS, the network loses DNS so I "break the internet" for a short while.

Would Kea fix this?
