Take care. Yeah, some things are really easy. But then at some point it always gets nasty, there’s a million details to learn and you can keep digging down pretty much forever 😆 If you’re at some time in the position to do it as a hobby, there’s ways to make it a bit less time consuming. We have some turnkey solutions. I sometimes recommend https://yunohost.org/ for people who just want to set up a server without dealing with all the low level stuff… But still, it’s an entire hobby.

Screw electronics. I’ll finally get time to play my 100 board games, pen and paper roleplay games and all the stuff I currently don’t do, because I’m doomscrolling all day. And I might have to ask the neighbour to bring their accordion and sing some Lady Gaga for me until Spotify comes back online. I think I’d be fine.

Just a word of caution, It’ll be dark in the supermarket at that time. The electronic cash terminals cease to work and half the food is going to spoil within a few hours. So get some cash, rice, noodles, oil, ketchup and canned food. And you’ll need some sort of water supply.

Sure, sorry, you’re in the selfhosted community, so I sent some self hosted options 😆 If you own one of the internet/wifi routers with Wireguard built in (FritzBox, MikroTik, etc…) that might be an option as well. Other than that, I never tried any of the more commercial options, so I don’t know much about it.

Google and/or the Arch Wiki should have you covered. For my Dell laptop I just clicked on Settings->Battery and set it to “Preserver Battery Health”. Done.

I’ll go ahead and remove the battery. At least check on it regularly. I’ve had the spicy pillow syndrome in some of my laptops and phones. Other ones were fine. But better not have that plugged in and trickle charged for half a year.

If Tailscale doesn’t suit you, maybe try one of the alternatives. There’s Pangolin or plain old Wireguard tunnels. I have no clue if authentication is better with Pangolin, though.

I was talking about “Yundera”.

Is this a casaOS fork you need to sign up for, to get it installed? …Why?

Can we …like… add a bit more context to posts here? Is it entirely vibe coded or does it work? What’s with Pewdiepie? Did anyone try it?

I hope in 10 years we have robo household assistants who do the laundry, dishes, a car that autonomously gets the children to football practice. Something that organizes my 120TB harddrive without making any mistakes… I’d be pretty lame if we’re stuck with Gemini and ChatGPT by then. And I hope we don’t go the dystopian scifi route from the movies of the 80s and 90s.

Lmao. Thanks. Seems this is the issue report then, to stay informed about the outcome: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/915

There’s maybe still hope. If this really is a botched AI security fix, it’d be a great opportunity to fail early and learn something. Like to re-think the AI approach 😆

Difficult to tell. I don’t see anything too obvious or offensive in the commits. They also write like a human in the associated pull requests. Not sure what Claude’s role is here. Also the added code comments are kinda on point, use contractions… Not really what I’d expect from an AI.

Is there more info on this? A blog post or some statement by the project? At first glance this doesn’t look to me like other vibe-coded projects.

I have internet at home, an electricity bill. A few domains and a VPS.

Uh. Blog is down. All I get is an 404 for the link in the Mastodon post.

Edit: Here’s a link that works: https://github.com/eleboucher/towonel

Not sure how we portray work… But I’m willing to do annoying things for the right amount of money. If you pay me, I’m gonna use your AI, code in PHP or Visual Basic 6, store the code on a Windows file share instead of a version control system… Whatever you like. Just need to compensate my hours. I won’t necessarily like it, or show a lot of motivation…

Online classified ads, your neighbour/relative/friends attic, the access road towards the recycling center/landfill, a refurbished PC shop… From my experience the world is filled with old hardware that’s plenty good enough, just doesn’t run Windows 1X anymore so it becomes e-waste. You can of course also buy a Mini-PC on Amazon or use your existing computer if it has enough RAM to host a virtual machine.

… don’t forget about the backups.

And if your major issue is putting things in wrong locations… Maybe learn about some abstraction layers, so next time you’re able to just move it, instead of tearing it down?

I think the added benefit of an OpenWRT router is, you get 3 more ports (for your TV, Playstation and PC), plus a Wifi network. And it’s really hard to break it. But a MiniPC with OPNsense, of course will be more powerful. And some more advanced things have been notoriously difficult to set up in OpenWRT, maybe OPNsense does it a bit better.

I have a port forwarding without any tunnel to third parties and Wireguard.

I think there’s pros and cons to everything. That way would have been less of a dickhead move towards the Forgejo developers. But a big letdown to admins as they don’t know what’s up with the software they’re running on their servers. The way the author chose gives some new intelligence to admins, and they can now act on it, since it’s public knowledge. But it’s annoying to the devs.

I guess I as a Forgejo user am kinda greatful they did it this way. Now I got to learn the story and can allocate 2h on the weekend to see if my personal Forgejo container is isolated enough and whether the backups still work.

(But that’s just my opinion after reading one side of the story. Maybe there’s more to the story and they’re being a dick nonetheless…)

Edit: And regarding just dropping the security team an informal mail… I don’t know if that’s clever. You’d normally either follow some security policy, or don’t engage. Sending them other kinds of mails which violate their policy (an internal carrot) might not be the best choice.
