  • Does the wheel fall under any cumbersome non free licenses or patents? If I want to modify this wheel to suit my needs, then share that work and information with others, am I free to do so?

  • Libraries and encyclopedias. We had a set of encyclopedias, New World I think, and much later got Brittanica on CD-ROM.

  • It is the command line interface for libvirt/qemu/kvm on Linux. I usually just use virt-manager remotely via SSH to create and manage my VMs, but virsh can be handy as well.

  • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

  • Pocket is one service of theirs I did use from time to time. Save an article you want to read later without committing it to a bookmark.

  • Nah they make good steak and shrimp and they don't bother me so Ima leave them alone. There are much bigger criminals to worry about in this country than shady local businesses.

  • Cats are wild. Mine came home once with about a quarter of his face hanging loose. I wrapped him in a towel to protect myself, cleaned him up with antiseptic and antibiotic cream, put the loose flap back in place and covered it with gauze and tape. Surprisingly he left it alone and it healed up good. If you pull his fur back you can find the scar but it did really well.

  • How to harden against SSH brute-forcing?

    Jump

  • I generally do a few things to protect SSH:

    1. Disable password login and use keys only
    2. Install and configure Fail2Ban
    3. Disable root login via ssh altogether. Just change "permit root login" from "no password" to just "no". You can still become root via sudo or su after you're connected, but that would trigger an additional password request. I always connect as a normal user and then use sudo if/when I need it. I don't include NOPASSWD in my sudoers to make certain sudo prompts for a password. Doesn't do any good to force normal user login if sudo doesn't require a password.
    4. If connecting via the same network or IPs, restrict the SSH open port to only the IPs you trust.
    5. I don't have SSH internet visible. I have my own Wireguard server running on a separate raspberry pi and use that to access SSH when I'm away, but SSH itself is not open to the internet or forwarded in the router.

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

    Jump

  • So far I haven't seen any attempts to change their user agents. I've seen one or two other bots poking around, but nothing to write home about so I've left them alone.

    I have heard however that changing user agents is a tactic they do indeed employ, especially Claude, so it may be that I'll eventually have to adapt my defenses.

  • I made one the other day, though I bought the music from HDTracks instead of "acquiring" it from Limewire or Kazaa. Burned it to a CD because the bus I drive has a CD player but no SD card slot or anything.

    Jellyfin is not just good... but better than Plex now?!

    Jump

  • I'm not sure. I've only noticed it on my TV and have even noticed it with content that I personally ripped from DVDs or Blurays and encoded to x265 or AV1. Since it only affects the TV apps I'm wondering if it isn't a lack of support for some color space or something by the TV hardware because when I'm encoding I don't usually change anything about the dimensions, color space, frame-rate, etc., just the codec and quality. If the video is 10 bit, I encode it as 10 bit. If it's HDR, I pass that thru. I've checked with the mobile and desktop app and the web player on content the TVs had issues with and those same files played fine everywhere else, so it's something specific to the LG and Roku apps for Plex.

  • I do my own ripping direct from disc and I've still seen it happen. So far it's exclusive to the TV apps so I think it's something to do with the lack of hardware support for certain things.

  • This is one of those things that wouldn't surprise me in the least. Something has felt "off" for a while between him and Russia. But I'm not gonna go spreading it around as if it's fact if I have no evidence.

  • Plex has recently started applying a green filter to certain content.

    The files Plex has a problem with work just fine in Jellyfin.
