  • Google says replacing C/C++ in firmware with Rust is easy

    Jump

  • I disagree with 5.

    I am an electronics engineer, so admittedly only ever worked with C and Python scripting (and not a programmer by any means) but I literally stopped learning rust for embedded because every single tooling setup step was wrong or failed for both chips I was testing out (NRF chip and an esp32-C3). Maybe only embedded rust was still a mess tooling-wise, but I have no use case for learning userspace rust first. It would just be a waste of my limited free time 😅

  • How can I keep my forwarded port secure?

    Jump

  • OK that is fair, though that is not self hosted...

    VPS machines are a completely different beast than self hosting. But I guess I only said home use, not specifically self-hosting though we are in a self-hosted community. There are 1000 guides for setting up a VPN on your home network.

  • To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

    It isn't that "tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine" but more "people don't realize." It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

    There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

    There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.

    I think the right wing shot it down but what an absolute gigachad.

  • How to transport a PC long distances

    Jump

  • I moved over 4000 miles away with overseas shipping on a pallet that traveled about half the distance in a truck by land.

    Here is how I did it:

    GPU in its original box since that was made for sea shipping.

    HDDs taken out, wrapped in foam, and put in boxes.

    Other components stayed in the case, but the case was filled with large air pocket packing material to support the air cooling block. Computer was then put in the original case box and stored with the orientation of the cooling block vertical. The side to side movement is eliminated with the packing material and less stress was placed. Safer yet would be to remove the cooler if it is air.

    If you have a glass side panel, make sure it is surrounded by packing material.

    That is it! Everything arrived in perfect condition except for some books which got wet from the humid saltwater air in an enclosed space.

  • how to set up jellyfin with podman and selinux and an intel gpu (a380) for transcoding?

    Jump

  • Are you absolutely sure that you have the i915 firmware installed and enabled?

    If you have gone through these steps of adding the modules: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#low-power-encoding

    and it doesn't work, you may have to manually download the git linux firmware library, extract the i915 folder and place it in your firmware folder.

    That is how I got jellyfin working on my A380 after pulling my hair out about it.

    Please check and post your dmesg starting up.

    You should see GUC and HUC enabling.

  • what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

    Jump

  • Can't be hit by new backdoors when your packages haven't had updates for years 😉

    In all seriousness Debian makes solid choices that makes everything as low maintenance as it can get for self hosting.

    For someone who recently lost a bunch of their free time, that is amazing to not have to mess with stuff.

  • PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.

    Jump

  • This is standard, but often unwanted, behavior of docker.

    Docker creates a bunch of chain rules, but IIRC, doesn't modify actual incoming rules (at least it doesn't for me) it just will make a chain rule for every internal docker network item to make sure all of the services can contact each other.

    Yes it is a security risk, but if you don't have all ports forwarded, someone would still have to breach your internal network IIRC, so you would have many many more problems than docker.

    I think from the dev's point of view (not that it is right or wrong), this is intended behavior simply because if docker didn't do this, they would get 1,000 issues opened per day of people saying containers don't work when they forgot to add a firewall rules for a new container.

    Option to disable this behavior would be 100x better then current, but what do I know lol

  • Motion activated recordings.

    Continuouse, even h265 recordings, can only 2 weeks or so per terabyte.

    Motion activated means he is probably recording 30 minutes per day vs 24 hours.
