Linux@lemmy.ml•Gentoo Needs Your Help! Several Sponsors Have Pulled Out
131·11 days agoGenuinely asking, why is it important?
I have nothing to contribute; I’m scared of used drives. Interested to hear who folks have had good luck with though.

Linux@lemmy.ml•bluetuith - A TUI based Bluetooth Manager v0.2.7 is released (Windows/MacOS/Linux)
3·4 months agoVery cool project!
What was the motivation to make it cross platform? On the Linux side I see immediate value but I’m struggling to understand the usecase for win/Mac.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)English
5·5 months agoFor music enthusiasts plexamp is also basically unbeatable. I welcome the day open source catches up.
People shit on it but there’s a lot of good open-source tooling that supports it.
There are nist l1 profiles
Tutorials and guides for everything
etc
Part of being a good sysadmin is knowing when not to reinvent the wheel. Ubuntu has a lot of options for vetted, hardened, “other people’s wheels.”
Also, for posterity, the competent ones are running the headless, server version of Ubuntu. (As opposed to the bloated mess that is Ubuntu Desktop). The server version catches a lot of flack it doesn’t deserve.
Code rewrites are always going to have growing pains. Rewriting gnu-corrutils in rust is a noble effort.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[SOLVED] Is there any (known) way to use warp-cli without blocking incoming connections?English
1·6 months agoMicrovms or containers could give you external control of the networking. Then you would put whatever you want behind warp inside the warp container/vm.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Zpool scrub taking days? And HDD issues... Am I cooked?English
6·6 months ago+1 to this observation. I run zfs arrays at both home and work and it’s way more likely that your controller is flaking than you have that many simultaneous drive failures.
The unfortunate reality though is that you can’t trust the current copy of this data, even the snapshots, unless the restore passes a scrub post-restore.
If caddy is acting as a proxy for anything, you should not need to forward that port externally. Local host firewalls allowing traffic on your local network is sufficient.
Depending on your physical host layout you may be looking at an issue with nat reflection.
You have not given us enough about your topology to assist in troubleshooting.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What to look for in building/buying a server?English
2·10 months agoIt definitely can be disabled post-install but is much simpler to install without it at install-time, and has the added benefit of not pulling 2-5gb of other things that won’t be relevant to your use case. It’s not that the disk waste is that big of a deal, but any issues you run into will be that much easier to troubleshoot with fewer moving parts.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What to look for in building/buying a server?English
2·10 months agoThat wasn’t quite the takeaway I was going for. You can get a lot done on 8gb of ram. I was just trying to point out that it would probably be your first bottleneck as you started to scale out, and that you should consider using the server headless to make the ram you have go that much further.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What to look for in building/buying a server?English
4·10 months agoAll of those would be perfectly cromulent nodes for small containers. The first issue you’ll run into is the low ram. Some homelab projects would cause you to exceed 8gb, but the good news is if you’re using an external backend via NFS, you can always scale out (more nodes) or up(more compute per node,) later with minimal headache.
If you’re going to be memory constrained, don’t waste 1-2gb on a gui, install Ubuntu/Debian/whatever headless

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting
39·10 months agoNot OP but I think this guy is remembering a scene from silicon valley, not from reality. That said it’s probably not that far off. Amazon smart devices absolutely have this “feature” in production today-- and it’s opt-out, not opt-in.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How do I keep PulseAudio from randomly changing the volume?
1·10 months agoWhat is the flag for this?
CGNAT does have a designated range by spec. 100.64.0.0/10, which covers addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255. Technically they could be using any other private address space but it would be very uncommon in a modern ISP.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?
2·11 months agoI suspect the difference in experiences is more due to x11/pulse(my custom systems) vs Wayland/pipewire(bazzite) than it is any particular GPU vendor or driver branch. Which I guess is a roundabout way of saying
Maybe?
Judging by the protondb entry on CS2 I strongly suspect I would have at least the audio issue regardless of gpu.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?
31·11 months agoAppreciate the recommended fixes. I did find similar and was able to work through some of the issues with CS2 but I did that on instinct, and it wasn’t until I was halfway through troubleshooting game 2 of 2 attempted that I realized it wasn’t where I needed it to be for a remote support hand-me-down.
I did briefly entertain the idea of setting up rustdesk on it but the atomic nature + Wayland made unattended (read: “help I broke it and I can’t log in”) not really viable. By the time I got to “hrm, I could probably set up a reverse ssh tunnel into my homelab for persistent support?” I decided windows was probably the play here.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?
32·11 months agoLike the other guy said I think this is a bazzite-induced problem. I have other Linux systems at home. My daily driver and my wife’s daily driver are both highly custom Ubuntu server derivatives, we both have Nvidia GPUs (3050, 5070), and neither of us have similar issues.
The reason I wanted to try bazzite was that I didn’t want to remotely support something super custom.
The problem here is people will beg for the opportunity and plead that they’ll take it seriously and it’ll be life changing and then ghost you at the first sign of actual work.
Finding a decent apprentice that won’t waste your time is a chore in and of itself
