Why is VPN to your main device not an option?

just_another_person , (edited )

Nevermind. I read your question way wrong. You have a local network and want better access to things there.

Different filesystems and network service which exposes. SMB will be the worst performance, NFS possibly the best. You're also going to have lag on however you're accessing these files from the client, so maybe there's an issue.

just_another_person ,

What is the install base of Ubuntu Touch even? Are those numbers somewhere?

just_another_person ,

Sorry, I meant install base meaning users. How many devices have downloaded or installed it?

just_another_person ,

Link?

just_another_person ,

Remove the packages, DKMS folders, and blacklist everything Nvidia from modprobe. That'll do it.

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a 'user...

Everyone basically rents all their stuff until they die anyway.

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?

just_another_person ,

Rsync and rclone are the best options as mentioned in other comments. If you want to get real-time with it, and the previous cron-based solutions aren't what you want, look at the myriad of FOSS distributed filesystems out there. Plenty of live filesystems you can run on any Linux-based storage system.

I think the better question would be: what are you trying to achieve? Live replica set of all data in two places at the same time, or a solid backup of your data you can swap to if needed? I'd recommend the rsync/rclone route, and VPN from the primary data set whenever you need, with the safety of having your standby ready to swap out to whenever needed if the primary fails.

just_another_person ,

Yes, this does seem to be the case with the info at hand. You won't be able to recover the data afaik.

Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...

just_another_person ,

Just find a static host for free instead of dealing with it yourself. Million out there.

just_another_person ,

Nope. Dead project barely kept alive by a few people for some reason.

just_another_person ,

It's like two guys. Working on downstream of all things.

Find me a public code repository, a social , or some other cohesive piece of confirmation this is still in development recently, and I'll delete my comment.

just_another_person ,

Honestly, you might be looking at a ShieldTV.

just_another_person ,

Hadn't heard of this. Gotta check it out.

just_another_person , (edited )

Well pretty much every DVD maxes at 480p for storage constraint purposes, so that might be your first issue. Ripping and encoding at a higher resolution than the source nets you nothing but wasted space.

That being said, HEVC is going to be the smallest file size for your rips, with reasonable encoding times and compatibility mostly not an issue.

AV1 is new-ish, so depending on your hardware, could take anywhere from 5x-10x longer, and only net you an average of 15% difference in size reduction, and then you have compatibility to worry about.

just_another_person ,

Oof. No.

Wouldn't do it for a litany of reasons, but the main being that it's not meant for such things. You want it to be as close to the OS and drivers as possible. Anything getting between Unraid managing the disks is overly complex, and asking for trouble. What happens if the container dies? What happens if the container gets OOMkill'd?

If you're not going to use it to manage your disks, then I guess no issues, but there's better suited software for such things.

Isn't Unraid also a VM host of sorts?

just_another_person ,

There's the question of "CAN I do this?" vs "SHOULD I do this?". I don't think abstracting your main storage handling software away from where it definitely needs to be is going to net you anything positive, but add more issues and complications.

I'm sure you can find videos of people running drivers out of containers just because it's possible. Should you though? Nope.

just_another_person ,

You're thinking about this wrong way though. Why are trying to abstract the thing that keeps your disks working properly? What's your gain here?

just_another_person ,

Just get a separate host for whatever the VM stuff you want. You won't need to worry about messing anything related to storage up, AND you'll be able to mess with all the networking stuff without impacting your NAS.

If you're just trying to run some simple services, just get a $300 Ryzen minipc. Plenty powerful for what it sounds like you're looking to do.

    Not sure there is a simplified walkthrough anyone can give you if you don't already understand the instructions out there. You need to run a Matrix server on some machine, setup empty channels for each service you want to bridge, then run a bridge service to get data from each service, and point it at those channels.

    That's about as layman as it gets.

    just_another_person ,

    If you saw an OOM anything, it's getting OOMkill'd by the kernel trying to keep the machine up. Check syslogs and dmesg, and it should say what was killed, and there's your problem container. You probably have a memory leak, so just check your container stats every so often and see what is growing out of control with memory usage.

    Enable swap regardless. Would also help to know what you're running.

    MacOS is a BSD distro, which shares most of the same cli commands with Linux (though certain overall functionality may differ by command).

    I'd say stick to GNOME for desktop to start as it flows much more similarly to MacOS. I'd say Fedora 40 to avoid the current issues with Ubuntu 24 and derivatives. Should give you solid footing to figure out what you don't like and adapt accordingly. Maybe even try out a handful of distros via LiveCD before committing, up to you.

    Re: Dual booting for gaming. Not even really necessary for 95% of all games now thanks to proton. The only hold outs are games with very aggressive anti-cheat installs that can't operate outside of Windows.

    I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again! ( i.imgur.com )

    Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....

    just_another_person ,

    You'd have a bigger impact by putting a modern SSD in there, even if SATA.

    just_another_person ,

    Worry less about benchmarks, and more about stability, compatibility, configurability, and sanity. Amd should be your first choice, then Intel Arc (may see some performance issues, but easier than Nvidia at this point), then Nvidia as an absolute last resort.

    AMD and Intel open large parts of their drivers to be included in the mainline kernels releases and tertiary support packages which drive graphics in Linux, so any fully featured kernel will support either right out of the box, with no fiddling needed. You can tweak the drivers and overclock stuff as well if that's your jam.

    Nvidia doesn't do any of this, and only allows individual installs of it's proprietary driver on a per-kernel basis. To simplify, you'll have issues getting it running under almost any conditions aside from a very Vanilla LTS install of a distro from a year ago unless you get REALLY good at doing the dance with their terrible package management issues and DKMS compilation craziness.

    Just install the Desktop version of Ubuntu. There is no difference if you want a GUI anyway. You can set the run level to not boot into GNOME after you get all your stuff setup.

    HDMI stream live processing?

    I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...

    just_another_person , (edited )

    So you came here with zero technical expertise or knowledge about the situation, and asking for specific steps on how to do this in order to make a product? 😂🤣🤦 Hope there was some profit sharing involved somewhere.

    How would ML detect ads? Do you know the difference between ML and CV? You may want to start there.

    Get a Pihole or AdGuard endpoint and hope for the best if all you want is to remove ads.

    just_another_person ,

    I wouldn't help people sniffing around and looking to profit from free help. 👍

    just_another_person ,

    Sooooo, exactly what the person you responded to said. Kernel level.

    just_another_person ,

    Check your NAS and make sure what the minimum required SMB protocol is, then check your local SMB config and make sure they match.

    TLDR: Proton and Tuta

    just_another_person ,

    Didn't Proton release some kind of adapter to solve this issue and allow for IMAP?

    just_another_person ,

    That sucks, but good to know.

    just_another_person ,

    This is almost always a compositor issue, and unless something is terribly wrong, only affects certain applications that don't properly use the composite rendering method. First, find out which compositor you're in (probably Wayland if a modern distro), then find out which apps seem blurry. Last step: force those apps to use your specific compositor (start searching for runtime options for the app).

    Should fix it.

    just_another_person , (edited )

    Did you turn off any fancy UI tweaks like scaling (especially fractional)? Have you confirmed if your session has a compositor running?

    Also, try something like this

    Depending on your overall OS and sessions setup, your distro install may not be tweaked properly for Xfce, which still doesn't have Wayland support last I checked. So unless you made sure to clear out all the other global configs that could impact the GUI session, you'll probably have some issues unless you switch to an Xfce catered distro.

    This is...a travesty

    just_another_person , (edited )

    Firstly...why are you routing your home stuff through a VPS? I'm confused on what is happening here.

    If you just want to access your things remotely, setup a VPN server on the router, and connect to it that way. You also dont need a reverse proxy or SSL if you're already accessing things over a secured connection. Where did you get this info from?

    just_another_person ,

    That was added later, obviously. Even still, you don't need a VPS for this. This is overly complex .

    If SSH works, just forward ports and be done with it.

    just_another_person ,

    Beggers CAN be choosers, apparently 🤦

    just_another_person ,

    It's just sourcing data from Street View or similar. Not that scary. If it picked you out of a crowd in a randomly sourced image from that area, then it'd be scary.

    just_another_person ,

    So...wait. Is this just a front-end for cli utilities I'd have to install anyway? Why wouldn't I just use the cli if I'm already on the hook for installing it?

    just_another_person , (edited )

    So it's a GUI, to a front-end of another tool, and it also introduces it's own configurations into the mix? So like...building a bigger car around an existing car just to drive the smaller car. Not sure I'm really "getting it". Like I don't get why you've introduced a frontend to an existing GUI-based tool like a VNC or RDP viewer.

    Edit: brutha, I'm getting downvoted exactly twice whenever I ask a question. It's clearly OP. 🤦

    I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Duet 3 for running linux. Which device would have better compatibility?

    There's two models - the Duet 3 which comes with a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 @ 2.55 GHz CPU, and the 3i which comes with a Intel Celeron N4020. I would rather use the Duet 3, due to the cover, and since I am already familiar with the feel of the device due to having owned a Surface Pro 4, but I'd like to choose whichever works best...

    just_another_person ,

    Lol, this is not even remotely accurate. I run fleets of arm64 machines all over the place. Pretty much every distro out there builds arm64/aarch64 packages. Wherever you read this from needs to be shut down.

    just_another_person ,

    The biggest crapshoot with the Snapdragons is the graphics support. I'd stick with the Celeron unless you can find comments somewhere with the exact model and no compatibility issues with the graphics.

    just_another_person ,

    Because I know what I'm talking about, you trust me less? Sounds like a bad life decision. All you have to do is spend 5 seconds learning to confirm I'm correct. Don't just blindly trust comments on the Internet based on your feelings:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
    https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm

    Hell...surely you're aware all Raspberry Pi's are arm64/aarch64, right? The original commentor just has zero idea WTF they are talking about with the Android nonsense.

    just_another_person ,

    I await your much improved solution then. It sounds so simple, I bet you knock it out over the weekend, right?
