I had a single desk in my bedroom set aside for projects. Above that desk I had a pegboard for some frequently used tools and a small shelf next to the desk where I out anything that has its own case.

Not that great but it worked for me.

Sounds nice but the main issue I personally see with that bag philosophy is needing the same tool for 2 different tasks. I'm sure as heck not buying a second pair of 50 euro knipex because I have the other pair set aside for some other task.

Currently I can barely get most of tools that don't have a box of their own into a big metal toolbox. If I was going to live where I am currently for more than the next year I might think about setting up a pegboard for my tools again. Maybe make a nice wall of pliers

Honestly, I really like containers for self-hosting stuff on my server. Just write a single text file describing the setup and you can always recreate it, even after nuking the server.

No dependencies suddenly going missing or different versions of the same program being required by two services.

I guess my main takeaway from this article is that many of those things (definitely not all of them) are good ideas within moderation. Then along comes the marketing department and rips the moderation apart.

Guess I have an old one. I'm on a Pixel 7

Jokes on them, my fingerprint scanner refuses to recognize my fingerprint 75% of the time. Maybe because I use GrapheneOS

Charge the customer for repairs? How? They probably aren't even reparable anymore. Also, I don't like the sound of this "free upgrade". That sounds like a TV replacement with a more expensive one while the previous one goes in the trash

I can't think of a great historical photo right now but I'm loving this thread

Mainly kernel level anticheat, though that is obviously not really linux fault.

My other personal gripe is probably stumbling across a GTK based app that works for what I want it to do but clashes extremely badly with my Plasma DE.

For example, I wanted to set up automatic file backups to an SFTP server using borg. The two common UI interfaces I found are vorta and pika-backup. Vorta only supports SSH and local backup repositories while pika allows SFTP through some kind of compatibility layer with gvfs.

Seems like pika is the right choice for me but the UI felt incredibly dumbed down and really did not match with anything else on my PC. Since both programs were kind of out, I found another backup tool in Kopia.

The reason I was looking for a backup tool at all? I was previously using synology active backup for business, which is available on all linux distros except arch.

The one thing I can't get set up on Kate is leaving temporary text files open between sessions.

Probably a bad habit of mine but I sometimes end up pasting some info into a notepad++ file without saving it and then come back much later to check it out again

I find apps very useful for discovering places I can order from. Typically I will then visit their own website and see if they are cheaper when ordering directly

Heh, I guess I was one of those downloads. I wanted to set up an old PC I had lying around for gaming over the holidays at my parents place.

In the end I forgot that I maybe would need an internet connection and didn't have a long enough ethernet cable to actually use it but I did install the distro at least. No idea how well it works though since the PC has a GTX 1050 ti and officially the image only supports RTX cards and the GTX 16xx series.

I know that some people have managed to get it working but I have yet to see it in practice. Granted, my experience in the industries is currently only what I learned during my studies and 2 internships.

In general, C is supported. C++ is sometimes supported and very few people even talk about Rust.

 

Hello everyone, I am currently looking for a software solution to use my home server as a DLNA renderer which can output audio to my stereo amplifier.

The only solution I found was called gmrender-resurrect which seems like it would do exactly what I want but I was unable to get a docker container of it working. While I was able to find and connect to the DLNA Renderer, playback would fail every time and I was unable to get any information from the logs regarding why.

Do any of you know another solution to stream audio from my phone to my server (I am using Symfonium on the phone side)? Ideally it would be something I can deploy as a docker container on my server.

Thanks.

 

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to set up a kmonad config file to replace the autohotkey script I used on windows. My goal is simply to use the right alt key in combination with a,o,u and so on to type german umlaut characters like ä,ö,ü, etc.

So far I am having trouble even getting kmonad to run the config. I guess I probably misunderstand how this is supposed to work significantly. My initial config file was generated by ChatGPT since I had no idea where to even start.

This is my current config file

(defcfg
  input  (device-file "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd")
  output (uinput-sink "kmonad_keyboard")
  fallthrough true
  allow-cmd true
)

(defsrc
  ralt a o u s lsft
)

(deflayer german
  ralt-a "ä"
  ralt-o "ö"
  ralt-u "ü"
  ralt-s "ß"
  ralt-shift-a "Ä"
  ralt-shift-o "Ö"
  ralt-shift-u "Ü"
)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I recently built a small distribution board to distribute 5V to multiple components for use in a robotics project. I made each output switchable with an individual switch and an LED to indicate the current state. When I went to test it using a lab power supply I noticed that the LEDs would start flickering weirdly when I turned them off and on again.

As it turns out, the LEDs, which I found in my dads old parts in a bag labeled TLBO 5410, are apparently blinking LEDs. I found a datasheet for TLBR5410 LEDs which seem pretty much identical to what I have accidentally used.

Apparently these LEDs are made to operate directly from a 5V supply without an additional current limiting resistor (it is already built in) and are made to continuously blink at a frequency of 3Hz.

Because I thought I was using standard LEDs I added a series resistor causing them to behave weirdly due to low voltage. For comparison, this is how they are supposed to act: https://imgur.com/a/fXlcEDs

 

Hello everyone, I have another question regarding reverse-proxying again, specifically for the linuxserver.io jellyfin image.

On the dockerhub page for this image there are 4 ports listed which should be exposed:

  • 8096 for the HTTP Web UI
  • 8920 for the HTTPS Web UI
  • 7359/udp for autodiscovery of jellyfin from clients
  • 1900/udp for service discovery from DLNA and clients

Additionally there is also an environment variable JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl which is for "Setting the autodiscovery response domain or IP address". I currently have that set to my subdomain https://jellyfin.mydomain.com though I am not sure if that is correct.

I already have a reverse-proxy set up allowing me to access my servers webinterface under https://jellyfin.mydomain.com without exposing the https port on the container. What I am unsure about now however, is what to do with the two ports for UDP traffic.

By my understanding, a reverse-proxy will only forward traffic which comes to the ports 80 for http and 443 for https. Those are also the only ports my reverse-proxy container has exposed alongside the management interface. As such the 2 udp ports will not be reachable under my jellyfin domain.

How can I change this or is this even an issue?

Hello, I have a question regarding the usage of a reverse-proxy which is part of a docker network.

I currently use Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse-proxy for all my services hosted in docker. This works great since I can simply forward using each containers name. I have some services however (e.g. homeassistant) which are hosted separately in a VM or using docker on another device.

Is it possible to use the same reverse-proxy for those services as well? I haven't found a way to forward to hosts outside of the proxies docker network (except for using the host network setting which I would like to avoid)
