Unlikely. Docker is cross-platform, just use the existing guides like https://trash-guides.info/.

Secure portal between Internet and internal services

I thought I was going to use Authentik for this purpose but it just seems to redirect to an otherwise Internet accessible page. I'm looking for a way to remotely access my home network at a site like remote.mywebsite.com. I have Nginx proxy forwarding with SSL working appropriately, so I need an internal service that receives...

catloaf ,

Does the nginx proxy server not support authentication?

catloaf ,

Or Office 365. Yeah, I know people hate SaaS, but businesses love it. Licensing is flexible and scales up and down as you need it. And you get major updates as long as you have a license, unlike when you buy 2021 Pro Plus or whatever, where you'll always be on 2021.

catloaf ,

Libreoffice it is!

catloaf ,

Combine the big letter and the word. No need for it twice.

I would also include directions on how exactly to message an admin on Matrix, like where you find their username(s).

catloaf ,

No. Unlike reddit, when you send a report, it shows who reported it.

This has the advantage of the mod being able to respond to the reporter to ask clarification or provide explanation, but it also allows malicious mod action.

I suppose you could create another account if you need to report something without using this name.

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?

catloaf ,

I want to keep the data live since the whole system will be load balanced with my on site system.

Is this intended to handle the scenario where you accidentally delete a bunch of important files and don't realize until the delete has synced, and deleted them on the remote site too? Consider using versioned backups too, to handle that case.

catloaf ,

Read the rules for a community and report accordingly. People like to complain when stuff stays up, but nobody has bothered to report it...

catloaf ,

I'm not sure I'd call it selfish. There are users with particularly distasteful opinions that I prefer to downvote when I see them expressed. If I blocked them, then I wouldn't be able to help shape the community in a positive manner.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services ( www.theguardian.com )

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

catloaf ,

They've said they have a contingency plan in case that happens. They haven't said what it is, but my guess is some kind of "you have 60 days to download your games without steamworks DRM".

catloaf ,

Then I wouldn't worry about it. The point of Glacier is for stuff that you'll probably never need, but are willing to pay a hefty fee if it comes down to it.

18+ How can I browse adult content through Torrent websites when adult content is blocked in my country

How and how can I browse with high rate or good content quality not with stupid fantasy , or with very high billionaires who have nothing to do except for F**** and how can I browse the quality content which is very rare in last 16 years??

catloaf ,

Either use a site that isn't blocked, or use a VPN or proxy

catloaf ,

Have you done a site survey? How big is the place, and what are the walls made of? If it's easy to cover, you might just get a cheapo Netgear, and set it and forget it.

I'd also look at mesh equipment (but NOT just repeaters). They're pretty good these days.

I hear Unifi equipment being recommended a lot less these days. And I imagine that you want something that's not going to take management and supervision, preferring something that will Just Work, especially if you're not nearby to fix it when it breaks.

catloaf ,

Proxmox doesn't run docker containers. You can probably install docker to make it run them, but it's not supported.

I also wouldn't run unraid on a virtual disk just to provide storage. Personally, I have one almalinux VM running on Proxmox that runs all my containers and has a big virtual disk to store my media.

Maybe not explicitly unsupported, but I think "it interferes with some mechanisms on which we rely" should be more discouraging than a policy statement.

gluetun VPN health check fails after a few hours

My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours....

catloaf ,

Have you read and tried each possible solution it tells you about?

catloaf ,

Then I would continue following its advice and open an issue. It could be a bug in the program.

catloaf ,

So what's the problem? They're valid for the same DNS name.

HDD spins but OS doesnt see mountable disk

The primary OS for this disk was Unraid. Its formated in BTRFS. I don't think either of those matter. The disk spins and worked before the reboot. But now. No matter what machine, port or cable I use its not mountable. Is there anything I can try? I was going to attempt Spinrite on it however it doesn't see anything either....

catloaf ,

So does the actual block device show up as recognized?

catloaf ,

The great thing about the Internet is that it lets everyone spout off about things they know nothing about.

catloaf ,

It depends on what those other things are.

catloaf ,

There are law firms that work on contract specifically to do this work. And it's not like the senior partner is doing it repo by repo, it's a junior paralegal searching GitHub for "yuzu.cpp" or whatever and filing one big takedown request for all the results.

catloaf ,

The first server should be the one it was posted to. Then federate the embed just like the post itself.

If a server is malicious, it doesn't matter if that malice is transmitted in the post or in the embed, it should be defederated just the same.

kbal , to Linux
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

Update available! This version is very old.

Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?

catloaf ,

That's not really the job of a screensaver, though, it's the job of the login or session manager.

(And screensavers were created to prevent burn-in on CRTs, not dead pixels in LCDs.)

catloaf ,

tl;dr: people use stable distros like debian and then complain to him when they don't get feature bugfixes

catloaf ,

So the preview should be federated as well?

How many requests are we actually talking about here, though? Is that better or worse than everyone clicking the link?

catloaf ,

Safer in terms of what?

If you can't justify it, then no, save your money.

catloaf ,

Like Apple's magsafe? Not unreasonable, but you'd still need an adapter. I think the biggest issue would be having magnets small enough for the rim of the phone, but still strong enough to keep secure while moving around, but also won't interfere with other magnetic components like the speakers or compass.

That takes time and effort (i.e. money). Or they could just omit all that stuff and tell people to use the Bluetooth radio they're going to put in the phone anyway.

catloaf ,

Obviously. If you can free up thickness and weight in one area, you can increase things like battery size, either alone or to compensate for a higher-power processor or something.

catloaf ,

I've never had it do this. What exactly is the prompt?

catloaf ,

You can do a dnf clean all, or see if it shows up in the logs from previous runs.

Where can I find obscure cnn video?

The video is an old one about Katrina. I need it for homework. I have tried accessing it from CNN's website but CNN in their infinite wisdom put DRM on the video that is publicly available, and I assume that is why it doesn't work on mull, librewolf, or chromium (all show same error about neon request failed). I looked on the...

catloaf ,

It's not DRM'd, it's just gone.

You might be able to find it by searching, but I'd just tell the instructor that the video isn't available.

catloaf ,

Or set up a ramdisk, or turn off log to disk entirely somehow. But if you do that, you'll lose logs between reboots or crashes, making troubleshooting harder.

catloaf ,

I cannot forgive that. English is not a language that allows you to turn a statement into a question just by changing punctuation. This is covered in like day one: "What is your name?"

If you learned English through media and not formal classes, you have even less excuse, because then you should be learning how people talk in the real world, not just formal classroom English.

catloaf ,

Yes, because there's a desire, conscious or unconscious, to keep that money flowing, which means pleasing the investor.

catloaf ,

I don't think anyone here would recommend BSD, but since your requirements are low you could run that on pretty much anything, including a relatively recent surplus PC.

catloaf ,

Well, Panera was getting sued over their energy drinks, so maybe that's not without precedent.

catloaf ,

Search this community for works like quickbooks, odoo, firefly etc. and you'll find recommendation threads. I'm on my phone and I'm too lazy to go back and forth linking each one.

Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor...

catloaf ,

You're welcome to use the library PCs (if available) or get your own ISP connection.

catloaf ,

Bruh it's library Internet access, not a human rights violation

catloaf ,

Run yt-dlp against the playlist and look for errors? You can probably filter or script it too, or extract the list items, iterate over them individually, and look for a nonzero exit code.

catloaf ,

I'm not a mod here, but two should be fine. Just don't keep asking simple questions day after day or week after week. That's when it gets annoying.

catloaf ,

Did you do a smart test?

catloaf ,

While you're waiting for that, I'd also look at the smart data and write the output to a file, then check it again later to see if any of the numbers have changed, especially reallocated sectors, pending sectors, corrected and uncorrected errors, stuff like that.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Proxmox will notify you of certain smart issues if you have emails configured.

You should also shut the host down and reseat the drives, and check the cables to make sure they're all properly seated too. It's possible that one has come loose but not enough to drop the link.
