  • Meanwhile on the mycology, houseplant, and gardening comms:

  • It’s extra work to maintain and test another release format — and the core developers want to focus on making software.

    No one is stopping you from rolling your own flatpak.

  • tape drives seem to be the best

    Tape drives are the keytars of the tech world. They seem cool and a pro can really jam with them... but they're not the most practical and you should really get a guitar or a keyboard until you know what you're doing.

    Yeet your shit onto rsync.net or sth else simple and call it a day, unless you're in it for the meme.

  • It’s absolutely not a given that an OS that’s been battle-tested in prod for five years is less secure than one receiving hot supply chain injections every week.

    The only major RCE I can think of since EOL in May is the recursive git clone one.

    I’ll happily spin up a public 20.04 box if you wanna prove me wrong.

  • I do the same with Debian XFCE for work.

    There’s really not much else to say: shit just works and stays out of the way. Boring but extremely effective.

  • I respect the spirit you're going for, but FYI, Libby/Overdrive are private-equity owned and just as exploitative (if not more so) than the major publishers were.

    Libby does not give libraries an unlimited license for digital books, but rather makes them pay what they would for a physical book, and allows them to loan out the digital copy a relatively small number of times (usually around ~4-5 IIRC) under the guise that a physical book would have been irreparably degraded after that amount of use. There's a stream of billions of dollars being moved from non-consenting taxpayers going right to a monopolistic gatekeeper.

    If we're talking physical books, libraries are definitely still great for that, but I find that the vast majority of the time I look to check if they have a specific book I'm after, there are zero physical copies anywhere in the system, and all the digital "copies" are already "checked out". E.g., I went looking for a copy of PKD's Valis last week, and my options were: library audiobook (vomit), wait two weeks for a "checked out" digital copy from the library (vomit), buy from Amazon (vomit), or sail the seas.

    So no, that's a shitty substitute — libraries have been co-opted into an extractive, for-profit system and utterly perverted into a shell of what they were in the 20th century.

  • Absolutely not — the issue here is OP knowingly submitting false abuse reports.

    Port scans of public hosts are not considered abuse per the CFAA or Amazon’s AUP without other accompanying signs of malicious intent.

    https://aws.amazon.com/aup/

    Amazon may take action against egregious mass-scanning offenders per the “…to violate the security, integrity, or availability of any user, network…” verbiage of the AUP, especially if they’re fingerprinting services or engaging in more sophisticated recon, but OP’s complaints are nowhere near meeting that threshold.

  • Are you self hosting the long context llm, of do what are you using?

    I did a lot of my exploration back when GPT4 128K over API was the only long-context game in town.

    I imagine the options are much better these days between Llama 3/4, Deepseek, and Qwen — but haven’t tried them locally myself.

  • You’ll get used to it eventually, but you can e.g. tweak your PS1 to an all-caps hostname, or use a custom tmux layout with dedicated panes for each box you connect to.

  • If you really want something upgradeable, used enterprise SFF is the way to go: https://discountelectronics.com/

    However, the hardware market is in a weird spot right now; you’ll get far more bang for your buck with an Intel N150. You can find a 16GB DDR5 w/ 1 TB SSD around the $200 mark, and that’s what I’d roll with in your shoes, assuming you don’t mind living without a spinning disk. Your Jellyfin and Immich instances will run far smoother.

  • No notes — I’d do the exact same thing based on your description. You can always unwind if CPU usage is too high under load.

  • This is the way.

    Depending on the nature of the sim, it could probably even be done with ~80 GB or less of existing SSD space using zram w/ zstd.

  • Lampless.

    I hope one day you see the light.

  • That is a setup guide for hardware key and passkey auth. It is not a hardening guide, and does nothing to mitigate these LPE vulns.

  • Please tell me more, which firewall would you recommend that plays nice with Docker?

    Firewalld

    No NAT?

    Another user in this thread suggested DMZing, so combine your advice with theirs and boom. It’s not uncommon, and it’s fine if you firewall the box yourself. Most people don’t knowingly choose to use a firewall that they don’t intend to work, like you would.

    why would you copy paste a docker compose without reading it?

    There’s more than one way to use docker. Spinning up an official mysql image using the official docker run OR docker compose calls suggested by the docs would start up a server wide open to the entire internet if DMZ’d.
