Just another Swedish programming sysadmin person.Coffee is always the answer.

And beware my spaghet.

  • Update on my Home-Lab now featuring a fully custom built 10" Aluminumm rack

    Jump

  • I absolutely love that zip-tie mounting solution, it's the kind of thing I wish I saw in more homelab setups.

  • PR: Linux.exe

    Jump

  • People joke about linux.exe, but there was such a thing as andLinux/coLinux

  • Are You Under the Influence? The Tail That Wags The Dog - Dhole Moments

  • As a note, the EU requirements for cookie banners actually have a few interesting requirements.

    So they engineered the consent mechanism to be as high-friction as possible to say “no”, while the “yes, violate my privacy” choice is always a single click.

    A consent dialog needs to offer a "decline" option that's at least as easy to access as the "agree" option. If they try to coerce you to give consent simply to avoid tedium, then that consent mechanism is in violation of GDPR.

     

    Also a fun tidbit;Ended up sharing a table at a speakers dinner in 2019 with a guy who worked for the same advertisement company that caused the Target scandal (among others). He had some interesting things to share about how such things happen, and also how the advertisement industry works internally.It's got a remarkable amount of parallels to high-frequency trading.

  • Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes

    Jump

  • I really do hope that Funkwhale get their 2.0 release out soon, should make self-hosted Spotify-like stacks simpler to do, and the fact that it works for creation and distribution as well is great.

  • Signing in on Microsoft

    Jump

  • I think the login-redirect system is just broken for ADFS, it feels like it adds all the SSO-logout URLs for all systems you're logged into to the redirect queue when it times your session out.Which means you'll have to log in enough times to exhaust that queue before it finally reaches the actual system you're trying to log into.

    But that's just an assumption.

  • Signing in on Microsoft

    Jump

  • Added an edit with the filter line

  • Signing in on Microsoft

    Jump

  • I actually recently added the Microsoft logout page to µblocks domain filter at work, since it would every now and then trigger a logout the very first page load after I'd log in to the email there.

    This has also somehow caused a bunch of other AD-connected systems to suddenly behave a lot better when it comes to session termination.

     

    Edit: Since people were asking for it, this is what you need to add to the "My filters" tab in your UBO config;

     
        
||login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout^$document

    This will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.

  • itch.io now seemingly affected by same payment processor rules as Steam

  • itch.io now seemingly affected by same payment processor rules as Steam

    Jump

  • Assuming that this is due to pressure from VISA/MasterCard - like it's been with Steam.

    It's patently bizarre how a company whose only purpose is transferring money from account A to B can then arbitrarily decide what people are allowed to buy and sell.It's one thing to refuse to be an acceptable payment method for NSFW games, but to forbid the store from selling them at all? That's just megalomania, and a great pointer to why monopolies (and duopolies) are A Bad Thing™

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Interesting, that's definitely not what I'm seeing from regular use. Are you running any added applications? LDAP? SSO? External mounts?

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Are you looking at data rates or IO operations? Because this is almost exclusively stat queries, i.e. inode queries.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, CPU usage is basically zero, and memory usage of the PHP code itself is also basically nil compared to other software I run. It's just the sudden storms of IO requests that causes issues, and since those come over a network pipe it causes issues for other pieces of software as well.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Again, it works until it requires reloading, i.e. the next update of any component or the next restart of the server.

    I'm also running an inode cache on the client side, on top of the persistent opcache, but due to the sheer number of files that Nextcloud consists of it still generates a frankly ridiculous amount of calls when it needs to invalidate the cache. If you're running on local drives then that's likely much less of an issue, regardless of what kind of drive it is, but this is hosted on machines that do not have any local storage.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Yep, those values are actually somewhat tame compared to my own cache tuning, the issue remains that the code requires reloading PHP files from disk during runtime in order to support applications and updates, which - even if it doesn't happen often - causes IO storms that temporarily break both Nextcloud as well as other software.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it's PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.

  • All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.

  • GitHub - element-hq/ess-helm: Element Server Suite Community Edition

    Jump

  • It's worth noting that the ESS suite Chart is absolutely not built to be community-viable, it's built for the kind of single-purpose deployments that Element offer hosting for, and it also breaks almost all Kubernetes best practices. Which is actually not wrong per-se. Element need to be able to maintain it after all, and since they don't have the Kubernetes know-how to build generic components, it makes sense to instead bundle a fully integrated solution which they are comfortable with developing and debugging.

    They're definitely slowly but steadily rewriting Synapse in Rust as well, that's been an open and ongoing project for a while now. You can see that just by looking in the Rust folder in the Synapse sources.I strongly doubt that they have the "rest" of the application rewritten internally and keeping it hostage for paid hosting though, it'd cost them too much to keep separate codebases for such a thing.

    The "Synapse Pro" offering is most likely just the regular Python+Rust Synapse, but with a few additional HA components and some workers written in Rust for efficiency, just like how there's community workers written in both C# and Go for performance reasons.

  • GitHub - element-hq/ess-helm: Element Server Suite Community Edition

    Jump

  • If you don't have a hard requirement for the Helm Chart to be written by Element themselves, I've been maintaining some Charts for Matrix components for almost six years - which have also ended up being used as the base for the German BundesMessenger project. Unfortunately free time hasn't allowed me to do nearly as much as I want with it, especially since it continues to work for the use-cases for my job.

    We do have a room on Matrix for dealing with Kubernetes setups though.

    I also ended up chatting with one of the core devs of Synapse about ways to improve regular Python Synapse for use with Kubernetes back in the ending of January, so hopefully it'll improve in that direction when time allows. They have the exact same problems with providing hosted setups after all, so they too want to make the open-source version easier to run.
