Ok, not heard of Moode. The website looks interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!

Ah, interesting, so you can use mopidy with HA? Interesting... not thought of that connection.

I have the Volumio integration with HA, but I've not looked at it recently.

Thanks

I remember trying piCorePlayer when I was considering alternatives to Volumio3 and - from memory - the UI was a bit weird?

Like, it started in one UI, but then you had to do a few things to get to another?

But, ok, I'll take another look as I'd forgotten about it. Thanks

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).

The open web isn't dying. We're killing it in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, an interesting piece.

As someone who's seen the internet arrive, watched the various battles (best seen on Internet Explorer at 640x320) and tried all the latest things (why use gopher when google can search immediately), then I do think it started out well

But, yep, I've also seen the effects when the bills needed paying and realising that just taking things that are "free" without giving anything back is unsustainable.

That's why I contribute when & where I can... Arch Wiki, Open Street Map, a few payments to developers and independant media sources, helping others...

But it takes some effort and I get it, not everyone has the same priorities. Yet.

rsync - same application version, but different protocol versions? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

I could not for the life of me make the ethernet transfer speeds be more than somewhere around 1-5 MiB/s

That's probably a physical cable issue.

Check the connectors and / or different cables.

It's esp. more important for 1Gbps connections as they're more sensitive than 100Mbps

Ok, fair point

Ahhh, well spotted

I didn't find a self-hosted backup manager that fit my needs so I built one: Arkeep [v0.1.0-beta] in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, this is what I'd like clarified too

Am I just setting up a schedule on the server and then pushing out config to the other devices and can then shut down the server? (For example)

Where do I need to install restic?

Is this local only or to an offsite (Hetzner) location?

I had a quick look at the docs... so, can I backup my DB version X and restore it to DB version Y?

Plans to remove ipv4 from the linux kernel. in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

Ok, yeah, late to the discussion, but that's because I used RFC2549

Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a joke in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 6 points 5 days ago (3 children)

It's difficult to do security-only updates when the fix is contained within a package update.

Even Microsoft's security updates are a mix with secuirity updates containing feature changes and vice versa.

I usually do an update on 1 random device / VM and if that was ok (inc. watching for any .pacnew files) and then kick Ansible into action for the rest.

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?

Any MythTV Users Here? (feddit.uk)

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)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Cyber@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
11 comments fedilink
 

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?
