• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨virtualizing OPNsense is....not going great⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It can make a big difference just in the processing power needed if there's anything more intense than a straight firewall. IPS tend to be a resource pig. What are the load numbers saying vs the number of CPU cores available?

  I ran into similar (or even worse) choking trying to get it virtualized even with a proper passthrough that I eventually shelved but might take another run at someday. Knocking a couple hundred watts off the stack is always welcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux on phones or desktops suffer from one major problem as I see it, to much choice.

  You make a Windows app it has to work with the latest couple versions, same with Mac.

  Make one for Linux and you have to test it against dozens of popular distros, package it in multiple ways, and hope the dependencies are gonna match.

  It's an awesome system for IT people and server admins, but for the end user, ehhh... That seems to be the problem things like snap and flat packs are aimed at fixing, which could transition to phones but first you gotta herd the cats into an agreed state.

  I have one around that same class that is running Security Onion, because why not record and analyze all the things.

  Poned, but occasionally pew-ned for reasons

  I am needing to Robin Hood up this joint and to redistribute some wealth, not to shill more debt load.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to keep adding on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends a lot on budget, space, and electricity costs. Going to 'overkill' level once can save a lot of these issues down the line.

  Mine started similarly, some small box with a couple drives that got up sized and then moved to another to add more...

  Eventually I bought a used 2U box with 14 bays and set it up with a ZFS pool all made up of mirrored disk pairs and auto snapshots so it can have a drive fail without issue and go back 2 weeks if something gets oops deleted.

  Downside, now the whole lab uses about 700 watts continually so the power bill is kinda nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨here comes the truth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But they have accepted themselves for who they are, that's part of the transition. You just got a catch up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then there are those who ask to expand the Holocaust and increase the throughput that disengaged people indirectly support by not arguing/voting against their wishes at least.

  I dunno about malicious, more like dumb request gets dumb results.

  Which part? By this point it's kinda an ongoing river of treason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the Internet comes to a halt as every company around fights to develop an install base with the span of the current major players.

  Not that I'm a fan of the mass surveillance system our current internet entails, but having a major influx of less technically competent companies creating their own networks and site plugins is just asking for an even more chaotic security landscape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder what game they're trying to play⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don't know about on PlayStation but: https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Touch

  An unlisted effect occurs with game controllers using vibrate that breaks the fourth wall. While the character wields the gun, the controller will vibrate continuously even when not firing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can see where they're going with it, but it is a bit hard to write out

  Say I set up my favorite service in house, and said service has a client app. If I create my own DNS at home and point the client to the entry, and the service is running an encrypted connection with a self signed cert it can give the client app fits for being untrusted.

  Compare that to putting NPM in front of the app, using it to get a LetsEncrypt cert using the DNS record option (no need to have LE reach the service publicly) and now you have a trusted cert signed by a public CA for the client app to connect to.

  I actually do the same for a couple internal things that I want the local traffic secured because I don't want creds to be sniffable on the wire, but they're not public facing. I already have a domain for other public things so it doesn't cost anything extra to do it this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube coughs up $24.5 million to make Trump case go away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This settlement might help because Trump has directed one $22 million payment YouTube will make to the body overseeing his pet project – construction of a ballroom at the White House. Another $2.5 million payment will go to plaintiffs who joined the case and also felt YouTube infringed their rights.

  A true man of the people, a couple scraps for however many may have felt their 'rights' to spout their conspiracies in YouTube where infringed, and 10X that for a fancy room for rich people to party in and plan how to become richer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we were *just a lil evil*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That's mostly the reason I went for them, trying as some back burner thing to get whatever appliances, lights cameras, etc all figured how I could do them fully in house. Not a huge priority, switches work just fine, but if I do set such things up the idea of it failing because of an Internet outage is a no-go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we were *just a lil evil*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On totally unrelated news, I'm finding the my new ecobee to be pretty sweet. Supposedly it can be two stepped into homeassistant via Apple's webkit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn't require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't say I've given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.

  If I'm not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they're pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure that's where I played it. In an era where having a round head on your character was good graphics it was pretty fun.

  It's the one part of Murica measurements that makes decent sense. Science aside I just want to know what to wear that day in a human scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many places refer to secure email when they mean a portal that function is more like a private chat app. A lot of them are even sold as 'secure mail' but don't use anything resembling SMTP.

  Instead you log into a page, and send a message to the specified recipient who might have an email style address on it, or maybe on the backend it uses their email system for authentication even.
