  • HA on Raspberry pi: SD card failure

    Jump

  • Thanks. Unfortunately, even if ddrescue reported that it got all of the data, the situation didn't change after writing that to a known good card. I've been busy with other stuff so new server is still missing z-wave stuff, but at least everything else was nicely restored from a backup.

  • HA on Raspberry pi: SD card failure

    Jump

  • RPi came before Proxmox and I just kicked the migration further down a road a bit too long. Also, specially at the start, I didn't want to have anything 'quality of life' critical stuff running on proxmox since it is (was) kind of my own sandbox to mess around with.

  • Teboil sulkee kaikki asemansa Suomessa

  • Onhan tuota useampikin yrittäjä eri medioissa kertonut että irti ei pääse ja muutama tieten tappelee ihan oikeudessa asti frankkusopparin rikkomisesta kun teboilin/lukoilin mielestä pakotteita tai boikotteja ei ole. Lisäksi osa yrittäjistä on vuokratontilla ja/tai -kiinteistössä niin siitä on huono lähteä St1:n tai jonkun muun kanssa tekemään sopimuksia.

    Ja tankkeihin ei tosiaan tule täytettä jos ei ole jakelusopparit kunnossa, ts. käytännössä logot ikkunoissa. Ellei sitten itse käy kanisterilla hakemassa naapuriaseman mittarista mikä ei taida olla kovin kannattavaa ja taitaa siinä jotain säädöksiäkin tulla eteen.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I didn't know raspberry supports that. Searching for 'atv remote' just brings up androind apps, so maybe I misunderstood. Neat thing, but the hardware I have doesn't support it and seems like usb-cec adapters are more expensive than usb-hid remotes.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I'd rather have a physical remote which acts as a keyboard so it'll support waking the system up from suspend. Plus I prefer a dedicated device for that instead of a phone as I'm not a only user for the thing. There's plenty of those around, only problem is to find one that works reliably and local stores don't seem to have a lot of options so I might need to dig one up on ebay even if it's a bit of a PITA to order from China to EU today with customs.

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I installed Jellyfin on my server and threw kodi on a minipc I dug out of dumpster pile at work. Works pretty well, but my server needs more RAM and the minipc needs either a wireless keyboard or a USB-HID remote controller to finalize the setup. Also ran some wiring in the house and added two network sockets to a room where the whole kodi-tv-gamingpc-whatever-pile is going to live.

    On the server RAM I found some on ebay, but if anyone is interested on 64G DDR4 ECC DIMMs I have a few. I thought they were supported on my server motherboard when I took them out from a old server at work but it supports only up to 32G ECC dimms.

  • Is the FOSS world in danger of a corporate takeover, thanks to pushover licenses?

    Jump

  • It's kinda-sorta social problem, but originally not the way you intend. It used to be possible to self host XMPP and chat with people regardless of the platform since both Google and Facebook (it wasn't Meta at the time) adopted the protocol. But then they changed their policy and created the walled gardens they have now and thus it's a social and/or political problem.

    They fully followed the playbook of Embrace-Extend-Extinguish which [email protected] mentioned few messages up the thread and pretty much devastated XMPP out of existence. Sure, there's still handful of users and project itself isn't dead, but before their policy change I saw quite a lot of servers around which are now either dead or forgotten.

    On a previous comment I didn't mean to describe that as a technological problem but a problem related to big corporations embracing FOSS projects/protocols and killing them by introducing their own walled garden variant of it.

  • Is the FOSS world in danger of a corporate takeover, thanks to pushover licenses?

    Jump

  • It's not really a same thing. I can't reach my mother or neighbor over fediverse since they don't know nor care what that is. But they use whatsapp, facebook and other stuff which are in their own walled gardens and there's no option to communicate to those gardens with anything I self host.

    And trying to convince everyone to switch is not a battle I'm actively fighting for multiple reasons. Of course I mention signal, fediverse and everything to anyone who's willing to listen, but those encounters are pretty rare.

  • Is the FOSS world in danger of a corporate takeover, thanks to pushover licenses?

    Jump

  • See Jabber/XMPP for an example.

    There was a (short) time when I could chat with my friends on google hangouts (or whatever that was called back then) and facebook messaging via my own xmpp server. It was pretty cool and somehow felt like that's the way things should be. Like email today (even if every big player is trying to destroy that too).

    Maybe in some version of the future we'll get that back.

  • Why do so many services require email configuration?

    Jump

  • How you imagine things send messages to reset your passwords, sending notifications and whatever is currently managed via email than some piece of code creating and sending messages, managing possible errors with them and potentially also monitoring/logging the message traffic for statistics or debugging?

    User adoption matters if you want your thing to be actually useful for the actual users. And supporting any messaging system requires effort, so it makes sense to spend limited resources on a thing which has the biggest userspace. If you want to run matrix server which has you and your dog using it, go ahead, but don't be surprised if you want to contact your neighbor and he'll look like you have two heads when you start to explain how to reach you.

  • Why do so many services require email configuration?

    Jump

  • It’s a crapload more work to support XMPP/Matrix/whatever messaging on any platform than…SMTP

    It’s absolutely not.

    And you know this since you've written code to manage both on different environments, right?

    Also, whatsapp supports all kinds of "bots" and it has absolutely massive userspace compared to pretty much any other instant message application. It doesn't matter if you create the perfect protocol and platform for this kind of thing if there's 7 people globally using it.

  • Why do so many services require email configuration?

    Jump

  • It’s a whole lot less work than configuring email.

    It's a crapload more work to support XMPP/Matrix/whatever messaging on any platform than just using a robust, reliable, resilient, widely supported good old SMTP. For you it might be easier to input your account (which at least on XMPP resemble quite a bit of email address) but for the developer it's totally different thing. Also practically everyone accessing a website has an email address and if they'd decide to support some mesaging platform it'd make more sense to use whatsapp than XMPP since it's vastly more popular.

    Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Jump

  • Self hosting is not just one thing. You are system adminstrator, network engineer, security specialist, service architect and many other things, specially if you expose anything to anyone outside your very private network. And to get anything even running on that complex mess requires some knowledge on a lot of things. Making them run securely with proper backups requires even more knowledge on things.

    Sure, you can just throw some docker images on your old desktop and be happy, even forward ports from the public internet to your things if you like. But that exposes your stuff to quite a lot of dangers and if you just click buttons without any understanding you'll soon be a part of a botnet or lose your data or lose money if someone decides to mess around with your home automation or something else.

    I get what you're saying, not all of us are very polite and answers can be pretty harsh, but more often than not the generic idea behind those answers is not trying to be an asshole or gatekeep anything. It's just that there's a skillset you need to build things safely and if it's clear from the start that someone looking for answers is way over their head it's better for everyone to get them take a step back and learn instead of trying to create a meaningful answer since there's too many variables or it'd just take immense effort to write down comprehensive guide on what to do, why and how for everything from the ground up.

    I know for a fact that in my area there's a bunch of surveillance cameras, home automation stuff and even some farm equipment directly open to the public network just because someone just plugged things in without any idea on the whole picture. Sometimes the correct answer is 'stop shooting yourself on the foot and learn the basics first, then come back'.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • Just for the sake of conversation, I recently did some crude math on this. I have few friends around who are well capable of running a backup server for me (hardware maintenance and stuff is always needed anyways) and at first it seemed like a good plan. Just get a 4TB SSD/NVME and throw that on a Raspberry Pi (or something small to keep electricity consumption low and setup silent), set up encryption, connect that to my network with wireguard or some other VPN and let it do it's thing.

    But I'd need to purchase everything as setting up a remote location with old hardware is just asking for trouble. The drive alone is 300€ (give or take) and the rest is easily another 100€. Currently my storagebox costs ~10€/month for 5TB. Even if I scored a fantastic black week offer and got everything for -50% discount that hardware with multiple single point of failures would cost nearly 2 years worth of cloud backups. And I'd still owe at least few beers to the friend for the trouble.

    Your mileage may obviously vary, there's a million different scenarios, but for me with my current setup it just makes sense to pick couple cloud providers and let them store my bits instead of getting more hardware to maintain and upgrade.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • With backups two is one and one is none, so you are very much in a right track. Personally I have my stuff running on proxmox VMs with a proxmox backup server (VM as well) storing backups to Hetzner Storagebox. I'm planning to set up a another host in garage to have "local" backups too, as mine is detached as well the risk of both going up in flames in event of fire is pretty low. However, a voltage spike due to lightning on the grid or something else might blow up both hosts so that's a threat model to be aware of. Also if your connection to garage is over copper it can cause other problems, fibre or wireless is highly recommended.

    With backups it's largely about the bandwidth available. I personally have enough so uploading to cloud is not an issue, but backing up a terabyte of data over 10Mbps connection might not work out at all.

    For more info search for 3-2-1 strategy, that should give you plenty of ideas what you need to think about and what are industry best practises about making sure backups are in order.

  • Suomen vaalidata siirtyy Amazonin pilveen – USA:n vaalivilppiepäilyjä tutkinut asiantuntija varoittaa riskeistä

    Jump

  • Vaalidatan pitäisi pysyä Ruotsissa eikä kopioitua esimerkiksi Amazonin palvelimille Yhdysvaltoihin.

    Eikös 365-pilvessä ole klasuuli että datat siirtyy jenkkehin jos sille sattuu teknistä tarvetta olemaan, muutoin pysyvät Irlannissa (tms). Tästä oli kanssa jotain pientä kahinaa aikanaan, mutta käsittääkseni yhtään mitään ei tapahtunut vaikka tuo Microsoftin pilvi taitaa olla poliisihallintoa myöten käytössä. Olettaisin että AWS:n kanssa on sama homma.

    Ja vaikka nyt kaikki menisi teknisesti aivan täydellisen nappiin niin tuo antaa nyt silti kaikenlaiselle valitukselle, foliohattuteorioille ja muille ilmiöille melko mehevän pohjan minkä päälle rakentaa. Mielummin vaikka tehdään tukkimihen kirjanpitoa kynällä ja paperilla koko valtakunnan vaalien kanssa kuin annetaan nuo datat mihinkään valtakunnan ulkopuolisen toimijan alustalle. Kotimaiset kaupallisetkin toimijat ovat vähän niin ja näin, mieluiten näkisin että homma hoidetaan ihan valtion omana työnä, omalla raudalla ja omassa verkossa.

  • En kovin syvällisesti vielä ehtinyt tuohon perehtymään, mutta ensimmäinen ajatus jo pelkästään otsikosta oli että nyt jumalauta stuntti seis. Olkoot konesalit missä hyvänsä niin ne on jenkkifirman vehkeitä ja sinne on siten pääsy jenkkien valtakoneistolla, jossa on tällähetkellä varsin räikeänoransssina hehkuvia ongelmia. Sillä ei ole edes ihan hirveästi merkitystä mitä dataa sinne tallennetaan, ainakin niin pitkään kun se on jotain muuta kuin ylen tulossivut tms millä ei ole konkreettisen lopputuloksen kannalta niin merkitystä.

    Kyllähän noita kotimaisia tekijöitäkin olisi tarjolla jos ei omaa osaamista löydy tai jos nyt pakko on johonkin kilpailuttaa niin toimijoita on pitkin eurooppaa valita asti. Mutta ei, jenkkien syliin vain niinkuin kaikki muukin julkishallinto. Siellä makaa onedrivessä ja sharepointeissa ties kuinka paljon meidän dataa vailla minkäänlaista huolenhäivää ja tämä(kään) tilanne ei näköjään mene parempaan suuntaan ennenkuin on ihan oikeasti ruskeaa kunnolla ropeleissa jos sittenkään.

  • English is not my native language and for whatever reason that makes text almost unreadable. But no worries, I can feed that to copilot to clean up:

    Can you replace those strange characters to normal from this text: Beautiful! I had þis vinyl, once. Lost wiþ so many þings over þe course of a life.

    Absolutely! Here's your cleaned-up version with the unusual characters replaced by their standard English equivalents:

    "Beautiful! I had this vinyl, once. Lost with so many things over the course of a life."

    Let me know if you'd like it stylized or rewritten in a different tone—poetic, nostalgic, modern, anything you like.

    You need to understand that we don't use English for our day to day conversations. Children are just learning to be familiar with English. Is it possible to teach them the language through computers ?

    Jump

  • But it's not 'gaming', it's 'learning'. And for all of those there's plenty of walktroughs around if you get stuck. I'm currently playing the newest Monkey island and it has the spirit of old titles, but it has a 'hint book' where you can just practically skip puzzles you can't figure answer for. That one relies heavily on the old games at the story tho, so it may not be the best one to start with.

    But yeah, that might be a concern. You can try a lot of those out at Internet Archive before setting up a dosbox, so it's atleast cheap to try and see how it goes.
