  • Not privacy and tbh kind of creepy.

  • How to transfer a lot of storage?

    Jump

  • I still don't understand the bit about flying them somewhere. Where are they going? Bigger drives would mean fewer, too.

  • Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language they are fluent in, similar to functionally illiterate, but for speech?

    Jump

  • You mean the person can read and write, but is bad at voice communication? Maybe a hearing problem?

  • New medication making me feel terrible

    Jump

  • Well, see what the doc says. If they say continue, ask if the side effects are likely to clear up. Some drugs are like that.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • No you can't. Only the top level comments are sorted, not the nested ones.

  • New medication making me feel terrible

    Jump

  • No idea about Trellegy but yes, bring it up with the dr who you're about to see. I'll be surprised if they say to keep taking it, unless the side effect is known to clear up quickly.

  • How to transfer a lot of storage?

    Jump

  • If you're flying with drives full of data, better encrypt the data first. I'd just use the drives as a backup target for borg backup. Then at the other end, restore everything. You might need a spare, empty drive to get that process going. Alternatively, use your favorite encrypted file system if you want to keep the data encrypted after arrival, maybe a good idea too.

    Better plan some logistics for one or more drives failing during this process too. I assume you have an intact copy of the data at home. So you can get a new drive written and shipped to you if something goes wrong.

    Why do you have to do all this in person anyway though? Can't you ship drives and have someone at the other end install them in a box for you? For that matter, is 80TB really too much data to transfer by network? With a mere 1 gbit connection it's about a week of transfer.

  • Do you think there will be a point where the world stops letting violent aggressors get what they want or is that ingrained into society?

    Jump

  • Violent aggression per se (carrying around a big club and using it to bonk anyone who put up resistance) hasn't worked in quite a while. These days it's more about propaganda.

  • Private digital photo frames?

    Jump

  • digital photo frame seems like an ideal way to do that.

    What? What's wrong with either just putting them on a web album and letting the family browse them, or else sending actual physical prints? I certainly wouldn't want a digital frame in my living room with someone else controlling what it was showing.

  • Looking for a good wiki based off of a git repo

  • apt install gitit

  • what open source messaging app do YOU use?

    Jump

  • Email, usually thunderbird or k9 these days. For online chat I have a small nextcloud server but I rarely use it for that.

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

    Jump

  • It looks like they ran the test case and triggered the crash. Therefore the issue is not confabulated.

    Also, I'm unconvinced that use of ffmpeg inside of Google services is relevant to this. Google services can sandbox executables as much as they like, and given the amount of transcoding they do (say for youtube), it would surprise me if they're not using gpu or hardware transcoders instead of ffmpeg anyway. Instead, they may care more about ffmpeg as used in browsers, TV boxes, and that sort of thing. That puts them in the same position as the Amazon person who said the ffmpeg devs could kill 3 major [Amazon] product lines by sending an email.

    If a zillion cable boxes get pwned because of a 0-day in ffmpeg, well that's unfortunate but at least they did their due diligence. But if they get pwned because the vendor knew about the vulnerability and decided to deploy anyway, that potentially puts the vendor on the hook for a ton more liability. That's what "ffmpeg can kill 3 major product lines" means. So "send the email" (i.e. temporarily flag that codec as vulnerable and withdraw it from the default build), seems like a perfectly good response from ffmpeg.

    The Big Sleep article is really good, I read it a week or so ago, sometime after this thread had died down.

  • Aren't there already tons of these already? Piwik has been around for a quite a while, plus there are others mentioned in the comments.

  • Recommendations for an all-SSD home server?

    Jump

  • Web search shows max CPU power for that unit is 65W. I was thinking of something more power hungry.

  • Making setups resilient to outages

    Jump

  • Maybe you could describe what you mean by self-hosted and resilient. If you mean stuff running on a box in your house connected through a home ISP, then the home internet connection is an obvious point of failure that makes your box's internet connection way less reliable than AWS despite the occasional AWS problems. On the other hand, if you are only trying to use the box from inside your house over a LAN, then it's ok if the internet goes out.

    You do need backup power. You can possibly have backup internet through a mobile phone or the like.

    Next thing after that is redundant servers with failover and all that. I think once you're there and not doing an academic-style exercise, you want to host your stuff in actual data centers, preferably geo separated ones with anycast. And for that you start needing enough infrastructure like routeable IP blocks that you're not really self hosting any more.

    A less hardcore approach would be use something like haproxy, maybe multiple of them on round robin DNS, to shuffle traffic between servers in case of outages of individual ones. This again gets out of self hosting territory though, I would say.

    Finally, at the end of the day, you need humans (that probably means yourself) available 24/7 to handle when something inevitably breaks. There have been various products like Heroku that try to encapsulate service applications so they can reliably restart automatically, but stuff still goes wrong.

    Every small but growing web site has to face these issues and it's not that easy for one person. I think the type of people who consider running self-hosted services that way, has already done it at work and gotten removedn up by PagerDuty in the middle of the night so they know what it's about, and are gluttons for punishment.

    I don't attempt anything like this with my own stuff. If it goes down, I sometimes get around to fixing it whenever, but not always. I do try to keep the software stable though. Avoid the latest shiny.

  • Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why?

    Jump

  • Being vegan takes a bit of nutritional awareness but it's not that difficult. You might want some vitamin supplements as people have said. Note that fruit isn't that much different from candy in terms of the sugar hit. I'm not vegan myself in terms of intentionally sticking to such a diet, but often my eating patterns end up going that way anyway, and it works out ok, at least for a while.

  • Recommendations for an all-SSD home server?

  • A high-cpu small machine will have noisy fans, there's no avoiding that. The fans have to be of small diameter so they will spin at high RPM. Maybe you can say what you're actually trying to run, and make things easier for us.

    I gave up on this approach a long time ago and it's been liberating. My main personal computer is a laptop and for a while I had a Raspberry Pi 400 running some server-like things. The Raspberry is currently not in use though maybe I'll get it going again sometime. All my bigger computational stuff is remote. So the software is self-hosted but not the hardware. IDK if that counts as self-hosting around here. But it's much more reliable that way, with the boxes in multiple countries for geo separation.
