  Amen!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was interested to know if that could work, supply wise.

  According to these articles, the series x and the 5 pro aim to draw around 200W in-game.

  USB-PD 3.1 (honestly, fuck the USB naming standard, seriously.) can allow for 240W draw.

  So, kinda yeah?

  Yeah, but how long until it doesn’t come with a power brick, and you have to supply your own?

  I think I need this, finally a real use for ‘ai’.

  The amount of how to videos you have to watch through, when all you want is one little piece of info you should be able to search or scan for has been a problem since before the internet figured out how to increase clicks by making a web page in to slides.

  Can you link me a how-to video on how to get startedt and send me a summary from your working setup?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SilverBullet: the self-hosted notes app for people with a hacker mindset⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’ve implemented Obsidian Git, and it works really well. The only trouble I’ve had is on iOS (I’ve got m it on android, fedora, debian and windows) where it’s bot supporting merge changes.

  I’m considering moving to logseq and implementing the same.

  The other alternative to self hosting is ‘SyncThing’. After I introduced my dad to obsidian, I saw how he did his synchronization with it, and it looks like a lot less overhead - fairly compelling

  Happy to share some notes on my setup and his if you like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨recommendations for 2.5 gig 48 port managed switch⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

  Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

  $1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

  Do not forget to log out and log back in after you add yourself to a new group. Your desktop environment is a program, and it won’t know about the update until you spawn a new graphical shell with the updated permissions.

  Lining up the wires, ensuring they’re straight m and making sure they’re trimmed to the same length will help avoid crossover too.

  You can help straighten them on the square edge of a table, just press them between your finger and the table at the part that’s stripped from the insulation, then pull them over the edge applying pressure the whole time.

  You can also look for the newer cat 6 connectors. Lots of brands have an insert that you can slot the wires in to before putting them in the housing, which helps a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Networking Help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sweet! Yeah, I’m guessing that the iptables-mangle and landing page link setup relies on getting that IP before populating the page, and that it’s not reactive to changing IP address. It might have worked if you were disconnecting networking all together, and joining a different network, but with the wonky way wifi roaming actually works, the mediabox management scripts probably never noticed there was a need to re-trigger.

  You’re looking for mdns! Depends on which distro you’re on. For apt based stuff like mint, look for mdns (used to be libnss-mdns on raspberry pies, guessing it’s the same for lint? It’ll install avahi zeroconf stuff if it’s not there already. Check the service is running, then ping $HOSTNAME.local - replace with whatever your host name is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Networking Help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re starting the mediabox setup on the isp network, it’s doing local natting with iptables, based on the IP that it resolves from the hostname. Probably would need to shut down and re-up to walk between the deco’s and the isp wifi domains.

  I agree with the other comments, looks like you might be in a double NAT scenario - fortunately for you, I think I know how to fix it, seeing as we’re both running deco’s!

  You want to go into the smartphone app, go to ‘More’ at the bottom right, (as opposed to ‘Network’), Advanced > Operation Mode > Access point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Networking Help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you give us some more details about how your network, mesh and machines are setup?

  Are you trying to access the containers from the machine they’re running on, or from a different machine?

  Is the container host moving between different AP’s, or is it on ethernet?

  What IP address do you get when connected to the different access points? Does it change?

  Are your access points in Access Point only mode, or are they acting as routers? What brand/model?

  How are the mesh access points connected - powerline, ethernet, wifi meshing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you guys think local only communities should be a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Local participation communities could still be perfectly visible to other instances. I don’t see many downsides.

  The only question is, is there a point? Anyone can sign up and post, it’d just be a kind of rate-limiter for remote instances that don’t police their own sign-ups well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help making munin work in ubuntu with lighttpd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If the files exist, are regular, are correct and the permissions don’t prohibit access, maybe there’s something else blocking the connection attempt.

  Given that it’s ubuntu, could it be an AppArmor thing? Not sure if that’s enabled by default these days.

  Seems to me like it can’t run the binaries, so there’s nothing listening on the sockets you’ve specified. Fix the bin-path issue, fix the problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advertising Lemmy on r/place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I evaluated both and decided pretty quickly that lemmy was the way to go.

  I bounced off of the sign-up and initial subscription setup a few times, unfortunately it was during that business with beehaw and I still have ‘pending’ subscriptions that will never be allowed or recieved :P

  All in all, the things that made me pick lemmy were:

  • The atmosphere in discussions (the agora on sh.itjust.works was having excellent back and forth)
  • Documentation for self-hosting and openness of the code
  • Selfawareness of problems the platform faced
  • The boom in 3rd party apps

  Even I have to admit, most of my reasons were lucky, timely and niche.
