• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Containers in NixOS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say NixOS is great for servers, mostly. Only having to worry about certain things (secure boot with custom keys, FDE, partition layout, network, sshd, firejail, etc.) once, and then replicating the same setup on another machine is waaay more convenient than going “I wonder what I was thinking when setting up this machine” once in a while when looking at some machine again you haven’t touched in some time. When it comes to desktop usage, the whole thing does not feel as magical - configuring system options in e.g. KDE is still a lot of clicking around in a GUI. I still use it for my desktop machine, just so I don’t have to think about another distro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Containers in NixOS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  These containers are running on various servers I have at home, not on a desktop machine. I use podman as an alternative to docker, because it’s fully libre and does not require running containers as root. To be honest, I’ve never thought about running flatpak containers for these kinds of services – do you have a setup like this that you want to share?

  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support this. But I can see how the suits at Synology could come to the conclusion that this is a great idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who buy overpriced “solutions” instead of taking the time to configure a PC seem like exactly the crowd to enjoy a closed ecosystem (see apple)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car safety experts at NHTSA, which regulates Tesla, axed by DOGE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do the cars not have to be certified? It seems to me that fewer employees just means longer delays for certifications, not easier certifications

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get me wrong, I dislike other gaming consoles too. Why would I buy a device that I don’t really own, i.e. the manufacturer can pull the rug from under it at any time and render it completely useless? I get your point about ‘innovative’ designs. But then they should sell the device separately and allow the user to with it as they please (see steam deck).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always felt the other way around: If you’re trying to sell me games, make them for PC. I’m not buying a new device just for Mario

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Encrypting data on local servers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use FDE and setup a minimal ssh server like dropbear to run at startup. This way, you can supply the password via a keyboard connected to the machine OR via ssh. This gives you a similar workflow to the data partition you mentioned, but encrypts the entire system.

  Which country is that? I just recently got fiber, but 1G down 0.5G up would cost me 90€/month, and that’s the fastest they’re offering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also wouldn’t use the built-in Wifi on this, but I can understand why they’d want to offer an all-in-one solution

  I hate the cloudflare stuff making me do captchas or outright denying me with a burning passion. My fault for committing the heinous crime of using a VPN!

  From the image, it doesn’t seem like it has rack mounts, which is kind of an odd choice. There are lots of switches that have a similar form factor, but can be put in 10" or 19" racks depending on which rack ears you put on it

  The neat part of VPN port forwarding is that your local machine can be reached at VPN_endpoint_IP:forwarded_port. Whether your ISP gives you a public IP or not has nothing to do with that
