  My recollection is that Fail2Ban has some default settings, but is mostly reactionary in terms of blacklisting things that it observes trying to get in. Crowdsec behaves in a similar vein but, as the name implies, includes a lot of crowdsourced rules and preventative measures.

  Now that you have a working setup, make a backup. Then, experiment with either starting over and only doing a few of the steps OR experiment with removing some of those parameters. Find your minimum set of working parameters this way, then you can look them up to find out more about what each parameter does that you discovered to be essential.

  I can for sure tell you that passing the render device is required for hardware transcoding, but I’m not sure what else is required. The iommu and vfio parameters are related to passing the entire gpu device into a container, but I don’t know anything about Proxmox so I can’t comment on whether that would be required for your situation.

  Same here! 10gb free is more than enough for the volumes I mount on my containers with config, etc

  The HPV vaccine. Saved you a click.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China gives Ehang the first industry approval for fully autonomous passenger-carrying air taxis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, I definitely agree that this is a bad idea.

  However, one of the hardest things about making autonomous cars work is avoiding traffic and pedestrians. If air traffic control can be managed such that these avoid other aircraft (and things like buildings and cell towers, obviously) I could actually see this as easier to get the software working.

  The commit added Ukrainian translations to the install instructions. Most were vanilla, but at the end of the file they added some statements with things like “Oh no, this is inappropriate for your sensitive religion”. I’m not quoting exactly here, for obvious reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  100% in the same boat. WSL and VSCode is basically a requirement for me, and codium can’t do the WSL linking.

  This is the real blow. Truly the end of an era.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why You Need a Digital ‘Dead Man’s Switch’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My strategy too. I have a piece of paper with my bitwarden credentials (password and OTP code) and a list of important items like bank accounts, utilities on autopay, etc.

  I review it with my spouse every year and update anything out of date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative ways to run Plex?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I completely believe that, assuming it’s one of the non-4K sticks. The older generation models are rather wimpy and slow (we had one that we replaced for exactly this reason), but any of the newer 4K-capable devices have been snappy and responsive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative ways to run Plex?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend a Roku streaming stick or a Roku streambar if you need a decent sound bar too. That’s what we use on our “smart” TVs and I hate ads too. Full disclosure: they do put one ad on the homescreen off to the side, but none in the actual content apps. You’ll only see it while between apps.

  You maybe know this but GitAhead was discontinued, but the maintained fork is called Gittyup: github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 Months and Counting: The (harsh) reality of building a product from scratch.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Open source is a definite plus, but tbh not a requirement for me. Actively maintained, free, Windows and Linux, and simple. Oh, and it has to have a dark theme 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 Months and Counting: The (harsh) reality of building a product from scratch.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fork is only “free” in that the evaluation period is indefinite. This is generous and clicking through the nag isn’t a huge deal, but I develop on both Linux and Windows and I need a client that supports both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 Months and Counting: The (harsh) reality of building a product from scratch.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, GitLens is by GitKraken. Seems like they might not restrict it for private repos, though, I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8 Months and Counting: The (harsh) reality of building a product from scratch.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bookmarking this. I have such high hopes for this! I recently went searching for my new git GUI, looking for something free, cross-platform, and simple. Basically what I found is the only one I like is GitKraken, which is not free (I have private projects, which GitKraken paywalls).

  If this ends up anything like how these screenshots look, this will be my new client! Do you have a Patreon or other donation mechanism?
