Yep, it is also worth to note that 6.9 rc6 (iirc) fixed this issue, and mainline 6.9 should have this issue fixed.

Apparently fixed by adding 1 = sign 😁

Are you absolutely sure that you have the firmware installed?

If you have gone through these steps of adding the modules: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#low-power-encoding

and it doesn't work, you may have to manually download the git linux firmware library, extract the i915 folder and place it in your firmware folder.

That is how I got jellyfin working on my A380 after pulling my hair out about it.

Please check and post your dmesg starting up.

You should see GUC and HUC enabling.

Interesting, using whisper-fast on Home Assistant on my server computer takes like 2-3 seconds to process and delivery an output in English.

Useful in the smart home space.

Laughably broken in most other languages other than English, but then again, google and Alexa barely work in other languages.

Mirror all data on NAS A to NAS B

I'm duplicating my server hardware and moving the second set off site. I want to keep the data live since the whole system will be load balanced with my on site system. I've contemplated tools like syncthing to make a 1 to 1 copy of the data to NAS B but i know there has to be a better way. What have you used successfully?

This. This is a hole in the market I think.

Windows used to have a similar hidden feature that my friend used all the time to tracking his work projects, but they removed it some time ago.

This is a good idea. It could even be later expanded to a sort of "digital wellbeing" type use case with time limits or reminders on certain apps, etc...

I get the thought, but your phone can also have a security breach at any moment, ESPECIALLY because normal user error is by far the weakest and most often exploited attack vector.

Bitwarden's vaults are also encrypted with the option for even stronger argon2id encryption. Bitwarden themselves can't access them or reset them. It is open source and most importantly, audited. KeypassXC has only had one audit ever. (Though that passed and I would also definitely recommend keypassXC, it is great software security-wise)

The database is stored, encrypted, once on their server and once to each device you sync to, so it is available locally.

Even if they had a security breach, by design the assailant couldn't access your database any more than they could access your keypass database.

You can also self-host it which would bring it exactly to the level of keypassX variants as far as attack surface.

Not to mention with bitwarden, you will also only need one key. That is the whole point of a password manager.

"It is available locally and a lot better..." is simply untrue. They are both great options. Just whatever works best for the person. Bitwarden has a ton more QoL options and enterprise options, plus separate, shared password databases and such for families and companies. Again, just as secure.

How do they earn money to give out?

Flat fee is always good, but I am always skeptical about these sort of completely opaque, altruistic companies that often turn into not-so-altruistic companies after they see more profit capabilities.

Compatibility and storage.

Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?

Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin "isn't as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc.." Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can't keep up the framerate?

It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, then you don't have to bother with transcoding at all. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.

As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy of HEVC or AV1.

A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol

Sorry for the long text, it pretty much depends on the living situation.

JustEnoughDucks ,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

I have one, it is fantastic.

Someone said that it is "not terribly performent" but it doesn't matter for transcoding. It can do multiple 4k streams of AV1 & HEVC. That is perfect.

According to benchmarks, it beat the 3080 and 6800XT when it was released for transcoding performance. That is what you have to look at in this case, you aren't gaming on it.

Just remember to enable all of the correct kernel modules to get it working. You often have to manually download the firmware git repo and move it to the firmware folder in Debian to get it working.

JustEnoughDucks ,

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-arc-a380-review/5

Blows the 6950XT and 3090 out of the water in transcoding performance. I would say that is performing very well. That was before drivers have gotten much much better too probably a bigger difference now.

The US (mostly the trending fascist party) does whatever possible to make sure the least amount of people possible get the opportunity to vote and for the people who do vote, make sure their vote does not count as much as possible. It also varies per state.

  • not giving out a national identification card, but then requiring an identification card to vote

  • voting districts with crazy borders to make absolute certain that the far right gets the most representatives possible https://www.maproomblog.com/xq/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/wapost-gerrymander-1024x687.jpg

  • reducing the amount of voting centers every year in areas like major cities that vote more left so that the people would have to travel an hour or more to vote and without a car, it is almost impossible

  • Voting is not a public holiday and many states do not allow voting by mail. Combined with the before point removes many poor people's ability to vote at all

  • there is a right wing effort to remove as many left leaning votors as possible from registration for minor errors

  • Armed party members at elections recently to intimidate voters, especially if they "look like the left demographic"

  • the "electoral college" which can just decide to not cast the vote that actually decides elections for the candidates that the citizens voted for

It is really batshit crazy over there. It seems like the right gets away with all of this crazy stuff and then when the left is back in power, almost nothing is done to change it back with regards to voting.

Licensing is also harder here in Belgium.

The drivers and in the netherlands are still some of the shittiest drivers outside of Italy.

80%+ of bmw and range rover drivers (of which a huge percentage of cars are) never ever use their turn signals, people literally stand still in the middle of intersections in a 5 car pileup combined with the fact that a huge percentage of people blatantly run red lights so when the light turns green in the opposite direction during a busy period, hundreds of intersections are completely blocked causing immense traffic. This comes from the rule where you generally pass behind the car turning opposite of you. When you have a 5 car pileup in both directions, nobody can pass behind.

Not to mention the rampant "Belgian exit" where cars speed up over the speed limit to go from the right lane, passing a few cars on the left, only to re-enter the right lane past a solid line to screech into the exit a second or two faster. I see this one multiple times every time I drive.

Strict requirements don't mean much if your driving culture is completely fucked. But culture is also the hardest thing to change.

Mealie is absolutely the best

  • SSO through OIDC (though mine is broken and I need to file a bug)

  • meal planning functionality with shopping checklists

  • equipment checklists

  • advanced grouping through tagging, cookbooks, and categories. Everything can be beautifully sorted

  • then the holy grail: recipe parsing through URL. I haven't found recipe parsing this good since the discontinued ChefTap app

As someone who doesn't live in the US:

The data from google and facebook is hoarded by a foreign nation (the US is basically a quasi-democratic plutocracy which also has extremely extensive surveillance both legally and agencies caught working in grey areas) to boost surveillance and that is pretty blatant about their espionage and political propaganda. We get US political right wing propaganda on these platforms all over the rest of the world.

There is a difference of course, but the gap is closing significantly every few years.

JustEnoughDucks OP ,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Yes, that is why I gave an example of how i thought it worked, but i have a single physical server with *arr suite, HA, reverse proxy, and all of my other services.

If it is a near physical separation of traffic, how can 1 device with 1 MAC and 1 IP be isolated on multiple parts of the VLAN?

JustEnoughDucks OP ,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah, for that threat model, a VLAN is not needed in my opinion:

  • esphome devices are for sure not data collecting and pihole will block most of the phone homes with a good block list, where possible (like simple smart devices) they are flashed with a local open source version. Still the vast majority are KNX and Zwave which are local only

  • video cameras are local-only always and have completely blocked internet access via the router

  • This is probably the biggest threat unpreventable in other ways. Though definitely citation needed for them actually being caught recording conversations lol. People think phones do that too, but it is simply a lot easier (and more importantly, cheaper with a much higher ROI) to make a complete data picture through search/watch history + proximity to other devices.

If you are looking for user management and registration, then Authelia is the wrong software for you.

Authelia is a very light weight security layer (and more recently SSO) that is only meant for few users precisely because it doesn't have an onboarding process, dynamic access control, and more advanced features. Everything is done through config files and secrets. The admin has to manually create a file or plaintext lines with the user and password for each new user and restart the container.

Authentik is what you want if you want a bunch of users and new user sign up.

As for bitwarden/SSO, they should be fully separate. Otherwise you will likely break Bitwarden app and browser integration functionality.

You also do not want to run into the case where you don't know your SSO password so you can't get into bitwarden to find the password and you are screwed.

Bitwarden, TOTP method, and SSO should ideally be separate and you should be able to access your passwords and TOTP without requiring any password that is exclusively in the Bitwarden database.

It brings the advantage that you should buy new devices to specifically support this feature™.

Go forth and consume for the sake of consumption, citizen.

In seriousness the only advantage is space and hardware companies 30-50c on components (more profit).

Can't be hit by new backdoors when your packages haven't had updates for years 😉

In all seriousness Debian makes solid choices that makes everything as low maintenance as it can get for self hosting.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

They want to use a single account for everything and have the most people possible.

That is it really. They don't want to have to make 50 new accounts where every account has to deal with getting past the spam policies and filters only to find that their potential base is 1/10 of that on other platforms

That's why reddit became the de-facto forum for many things also. 1 interface, 1 account, people can trace your account across different "forums" and it was searchable (on search engines, not shit reddit search).

How do programs that measure available space like 'lsblk', 'df', 'zfs list' etc see hardlinks and estimate disk space.

If I am trying to manage disk space, does the file system correctly display disk space (for example a zfs list)? Or does it think that I have duplicate files/directories because it can't tell what is a hardlink?

Also, during move operations, zfs dataset migrations, etc... does the hardlinked file continue tracking where the original is? I know it is almost impossible at a system level to discern which is the original.

This really clears things up for me, thanks! I guess I am not so "new" (been using linux for 8 years now), but every article I read on hardlinks just confused me. This is much of a more "layman's" explanation for me!
