TacticalRMM is very comprehensive, self hosted, but more geared towards organizations managing a fleet of machines.
- Comment on O365 email local cache 2 months ago:
IMAP on O365 now requires “Modern Auth”, which requires OAuth to authenticate access to mailboxes. Anything that connects via IMAP will need to be approved by the admins at this point (Including Thunderbird). Without the cooperation of your organization’s IT team, you are not going to get far.

Linux. (ducks)
- Comment on alien.top is a new level of Reddit crossposting spam 5 months ago:
I worry too – if this gets any significant uptake, what’s stopping Reddit from shutting off the spigot? Given their reasons for turning the screws on API and other policy changes, they may not take kindly to having “their” content re-posted elsewhere, let alone to a system designed specifically to escape reddit.
- Comment on Extruder clicking 5 months ago:
Could be too much pressure – double check your z-offset/leveling? I had it so bad, and didn’t realize it, … and wore out the original brass gear :(. The nozzle was pushed right up against the bed, so it was trying so hard to push out filament that wasn’t going anywhere.

Planka looks very promising too
- Comment on Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts 7 months ago:
There is no implementation right now that enables you to own and manage your own passkey backups without Google it icloud.
Additionally, the attestation feature is one step away from banks and other sites mandating specific implementations, preventing people from using software tokens or OSS managers.
Passkeys is great, and I am eager to recommend it to everyone, but without those items addressed, it’s a trap door, and one bitflip away from very strong lock in.
- Comment on You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2. 7 months ago:
You can extract the SLIC value from the ACPI table, and then pass it through to QEMU (Example from my Libvirt configuration):
See more details here: gist.github.com/…/49bd034d43e054bd1d8d4fec38c305e…
It is my understanding that this can only be used to run the OEM license one one instance in a VM, on the specific hardware that is originally licensed. IE, you virtualize the license if the bootOS is Linux, but you can’t run 2 instances of the same windows license inside each other.

Never give it up, and never let it down.
- Comment on Zoom/discord/twitch self hosted options 9 months ago:
Not only do they not federate, they also seem to suggest they are not making the self hosting option as easy as it could be because they would prefer one instance that everyone connects with.
It seems pretty solid otherwise, and the self hosted option can work if you are willing to spar with it, but that position makes it super easy for one organization to buy or somehow influence all the primary devs and turn the project closed in no time at all.
- Comment on Using systemd-networkd vs ifupdown on Debian 9 months ago:
Personally, I will use both: On servers with fixed network connections I will tend to use ifupdown; but on my linux laptops I’ll use networkmanager or networkd which tend to have nice UI’s for joining various forms of wifi networks. On my laptops for some VPN’s i"ll use the ifupdown configuration, which lets me setup all sorts of exotic configurations (bridges, vlans, vxlan, vpns, namespaces, etc.) The linux command line tooling has a litany of functions to check/test/diagnose/tweak networking settings, and they work across all the distros, AND they can reveal the full details of the network, as the kernel sees it. NetworkManager, networkd, connmann, etc, often omit details in the name of simplifying for the most common scenarios.
