I made an 8 outlet box with relays connected to each outlet (might post a how to). That's connected to a Pi via GPIO.

The Pi runs PiKVM, but also has a service that:

  • Checks if the router can be pinged
  • Checks if the internet can be pinged
  • Checks if the router webUI is up

If any of those fail, it toggles the plugs for modem and router.

I run OpnSense on a 5V miniPC. I have a second one and will be setting up CARP, too.

Note: Cellular backup is more involved, but a separate Cellular inbound might not be. I've considered putting one on the Pi above.

It's been 5 hours now, the top comments have leveled off into mostly normalcy now. Humans overflowing the robots this time I guess.

The timeline on this is great if you read the article. No way Meta wins this one.

Overall I agree, but not requiring users to change password when the hashes were taken is a bit too soft IMO.

It will also be interesting to see if they make a public disclosure about the specifics of who and how. They also don't specifically define if media watched data was included or excluded.

Either way, happy I migrated to Jellyfin.

Debian is basically Ubuntu without Snap.

You can switch. Just sayin.

I think you can run ADB on another Android device, so maybe an Obtainium+ADB device that stays at home.

Disregard the down votes and comments. Your question is an honest one from anyone who hasn't read gaming news or is a techy.

I'm not sure why everyone responding feels the need to, you know, not just answer your question.

In most programs, games or otherwise, there are "programmers", often called "developers" that write code. But the overall "development" of said program is done by the whole team. So making and developing mean the same thing here.

It get worse, and the model weights is a bit inaccurate with the Sept update:

The only open source code we have found is for the Lumo mobile and web apps. Proton calling the Lumo AI assistant open source based on that is a bit like Microsoft calling Windows open source just because there's a github repository for Windows Terminal.

The models listed on Lumo's privacy policy page are "Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3". OpenHands is a QWEN fine-tune, and Nemo and Mistral Small are both Mistral models. Since Proton has open-sourced neither the Lumo system prompt nor the mysterious routing methods that decide which model will handle your query, you never know what you are going to get.

So if the server isn't open source, and the server does all the work, this system is simply not Open Source.

Barring them from offering exclusive deals, which allows competitors to get in the mix at places like Mozilla.

I did not come up with this idea, this was one of the remedies the Judge chose. @Squiddork@lemmy.world Telling them to drop Chrome was just flashy talk.

That's a fair assessment. I'm guessing it's that way because that's where the company that operates this is. Which, now that I think about it, probably is a poor way to manage the whole program.

So I'll post-edit to say: "with local pilot and oversight"

For the record, WinApps makes menu shortcuts/etc.

Hey, I made that. Fun 😆

 

Hi all,

I run a private self-hosted Synapse server with bridges for:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Doscord
  • IRC
  • Google Voice
  • Custom APIs

I am thinking of switching to XMPP. Can anyone recommend a good Docker-based server and transport combo that I could test out?

Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..

 

Hi all,

I've been running a bunch of services in docker containers using Docker Compose for a while now, with data storage on ZRAID mirrored NVME and/or ZRAID2 HDDs.

I've been thinking about moving from my single server setup to three micro-servers (Intel N150s), both for redundancy, learning, and fun.

Choosing Kubernetes was easy, but I'd like to get some outside opinions on storage. Some examples of how I'm using storage:

  1. Media and large data storage: Currently on the ZRAID2 HDDs, will stay here but be migrated to a dedicated NAS
  2. High IO workloads like Postgresql and email: Currently running on the NVMEs
  3. General low-volume storage: Also currently on NVMEs, but different use case. These are lower IO, like data storage for Nextcloud, Immich, etc

I'm a huge fan of being able to snapshot with ZFS, as I mirror all my data off-site with hourly pushes for some container data, and daily for the rest. I'd like to be able to continue this kind of block-level backups if possible.

Assume I'm a noob at Kubernetes storage (have been reading, but still fresh to me). I'd love to know how others would set up their storage interfaces for this.

I'm trying to understand if there's a way to have the storage "RAIDed" across the drives in the three micro-servers, or if things work differently than I expect. Thanks!

 

Hi all,

Working through some things like a Will (I am fine, just normal life planning), and debating on methods for digital management when I do die.

I run a lot of self-hosted services for family and friends, all on secured servers with ZFS and on/off site backups. Key ingredient is Vaultwarden for password management.

I'd like to put something in place so that encryption keys, some docs, and key passwords are released to a tech savvy friend. Anyone know of existing solutions for this?

Requirements of:

  • Not providing keys to a third-party beforehand
  • Not forgeable to open
  • If possible, no "weekly press a button"

I'm thinking some kind of key pair where my friend has the private key and the public key is provided to a family member, and when activated a timer starts where I could cancel the release.

 

Hey all,

Anyone familiar with the state of Raptor Lake performance + efficiency cores in Linux? I'm specifically curious about how the kernel balances things when running multiple containers (without pinned CPUs)

Thanks!

There's a part as a sniper, I think, and maybe it was third person mostly? The name was initials that remind me of XKCD, like that sound, but probably 3 letters. And I feel like the character wore white cloths. PC game. This is a stretch.

 

It has fInally happened. And Technology Connections approves.

Hi all,

I've finally gotten around to releasing these formally after much testing of prints and usage.

The Twystlock system is a set of 100% 3D printable gaming accessories that require no printed supports or additional parts. This means no springs to buy and no metal elements to melt in, just access to a 3D printer and a bit of super glue. Originally designed for the Steam Deck, these accessories can be applied to the case of any mobile gaming device.

The Twystlock connector itself is designed as a quick-connect that secures parts together with a simple twist motion, can be fully recreated with affordable home-based 3D printers, and doesn't require complicated supports to print. The first use of this connector has been for the Steam Deck, specifically to supply an alternative accessory platform that is more accessible to the everyday 3D printing hobbyist, however it could be utilized as a connector in almost any environment.

Feel free to download what you like, and if you would like to request a new accessory design, or vote on the next accessory to be created, please visit our Lemmy community at https://lemmy.world/c/twystlock@lemmy.nowsci.com.

 

All the posts about Reddit blocking everyone except Google and Brave got me thinking: What if SearNGX was federated? I.E. when data is retrieved via a providers API, that data is then federated to all other instances.

It would spread the API load out amongst instances, removing the API bottlenecks that come from search providers.

It would allow for more anonymous search, since users could cycle between instances and get the same results.

Geographic bias would be a thing of the past.

Other than ActivityPub overhead and storage, which could be reduced by federating text-only content, I fail to see any downside.

Thoughts?
