- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 3 days ago:
Happy for them to be developing an app (which already appears to exist), but at ~20‰ with 16 days left… wouldn’t it be “better” to collaborate with existing apps like Pipepipe / Newpipe and direct those funds into the platform instead?
- Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? 4 days ago:
Yeah, at least others are confirming what I had assumed, rather than everyone pointing me to a blindingly obvious tool that did it all for me!
- Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? 4 days ago:
Ok, good point on not writing from scratch - which is what I had been doing for the first few… whixh is rewarding to learn how it works, but it is slow.
Thanks
- Comment on Ansible Playbook - How do I reverse engineer a running system? 4 days ago:
Hmm, that’s not a bad shout actually…
I can fire up VMs to replicate the real system and maybe (depending on space) keep them as a testbed for future mods.
Thanks, good idea.

- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 2 weeks ago:
A combination of Logseq (what, why, hiw) and KeePass for IPs and passwords (obviously)… I use the heirarchy in Keepass to show a device and then the services on it and then their configs, ie
- Hypervisor1
- VM1
- root user details
- VM2 (Etc)
- VM1
I used to do Visio drawings, but they were always out of date.
- Hypervisor1
- Comment on self hosted browser sync? 2 weeks ago:
Have a look at Vivaldi
According to their help page it’ll do what you want.
- Comment on Recs: Calendar and Contacts? 3 weeks ago:
It’s just another calendar…
So, we have:
MeThemUsHouse Stuff(ie bin day reminders)- I use this for Home Assistant
Birthdays- I don’t recall at the moment, but an app used this for contact’s birthdays…
I then setup DavX to sync to
MeandUson my phone andThemandUson their phone.In Fossify Calendar it’s really easy to show /hide separate calendars as well as selecting the correct calendar when adding / editing events.
- Comment on Recs: Calendar and Contacts? 3 weeks ago:
Definitely Radicale
We have separate calendars (ie we individually sync between our phones and other devices) plus joint calendars that we also sync…
On Android I use davx to sync and Fossify Calendar which allows me to see multiple calendars but only sounds reminders for my personal & joint appointments, not others.
On my laptops I’m currently usong Vivaldi’s built-in calendar and that’s working well for me.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, ok if Tom Lawrence has made a video then I know it’ll work!
Thanks
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
Just a friendly reminder that RAID is not a backup…
Just consider if something accidentally overwrites some / all your files. This is a perfectly legit action and the checksums will happily match that new data, but your file(s) are gone…
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
This is exactly what I’m about to do (later this week when I visit their house)
I’ve been using syncthing for years, but any tips for the encryption?
I was going to use SendOnly at my end to ensure that the data at the other end is an exact mirror, but in that case, how would the restore work if it’s all encrypted?
- Comment on Self Hosted Network Analyzer? 3 weeks ago:
It varies of course, but most of my torrents are movies and linux ISOs (for real)
I seed any Movies I leech at a 2:1 ratio… most are leeched from Europe, but I’ve had them from Canada, South America, Asia, but weirdly not many from North America.
I like to give back more to the Linux community, so I’m constantly seeding Arch & Mint ISOs (as that’s just what I’m using… maybe something Raspberry-ish) - they go everywhere.
I had a weird instance once where the same Chinese IP address was constantly re-downloading the same ISO. Could’ve been a VPN endpoint, but after I’d shared something like 40:1 there, I started using GeoIP to block it and similar regions I was uncomfortable with… so the world’s becoming smaller for me.
- Comment on Spottarr: A modern spotnet client and index for your *arr apps. 3 weeks ago:
So, I’m a little behind the times here… should I be moving away from torrent search sites to this new fangled spot stuff?
- Comment on Self Hosted Network Analyzer? 3 weeks ago:
+1 for this.
You need to see all the data flowing through a sensor to be able to map it, so a router / firewall is often the central point.
I run it as an addon for pfSense and it’ll show me all sorts of info.
If you setup the GeoIP you can see which countries your network’s connecting too… interesting for torrents…
- Comment on CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use? 4 weeks ago:
Crowdsec will block external, public, IPs
Fail2Ban will block login attempts (ie from anywhere)
I have a similar setup with pfSense, pfBlockerNG, HAProxy, etc, but I keep F2B running on my DMZ server in case something is ever compromised as it’ll block / slow down anyone trying to move around the network.

Depends on the variety of course… my Willows need cutting down, whereas the acorns I planted before the willows are still tiny oaks in pots 🙂

Ahh, I see what you mean. Being asked to pay twice isn’t nice…
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
But would you / do you voluntarily donate to Jellyfin’s development?
I get it, it is (& a lot of things are) free… but at some point the developers need to recoup something…
Otherwise Jellyfin’s development will eventually dry up as raw enthusiasm runs out.

Can I (figuratively speaking) just change the destination in my backup scripts and start writing to Hetzner… or are they using a completely different setup?
- Comment on Backblaze responds to claims of “sham accounting,” customer backups at risk - Ars Technica 5 weeks ago:
Does that also include Burial?
- Comment on How to send backups on multiple location? 5 weeks ago:
Whatever you end up with
- test a restore
- consider how to deal with the source data being corrupted / ransomed / etc, ie multiple versions

Critical Synology Vulnerability Let Attackers Remote Execute Arbitrary Code
Just build your own. It’s easy. Move on.
- Comment on How do you handle absolutely critical alerts on your Android phone? 1 month ago:
Yeah, that’s all fine - when it works, it works well… But sometimes it just seems to get caught up in an error and can’t seem to reset for a few minutes. But ok, looks like your setup’s working ok, so must be just mine. I disabled a load of Google stuff and run trackercontrol (a local VPN on the phone that blocks stuff), so maybe I’ve broken something…
- Comment on How do you handle absolutely critical alerts on your Android phone? 1 month ago:
Hmm… I’m using gotify with a Ras Pi to send the alerts and I sometimes get long delays…
AFAICT it’s the phone, not the Pi, but all I can see are lots of websocket errors in the gotify client the time… are you not getting those then?

we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team
Guess they’re so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell
- Comment on 'Google AI presented my April Fools' story as real news' 1 month ago:
Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I’m continually trying to assess if what I’m reading is true or not
Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?
Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult…

Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows… my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands
