  • VPN is the safest way for most, but if you do want to expose it to the internet just blacklist all IP’s and whitelist the known few, maybe slap Fail2Ban on it but honestly doesn’t make much of a difference.

    Traefik’s DDNS Allowlist plugin works great for such a task.

  • How’s HDMI-CEC support in Linux?

    Pulled directly from KDE Plasma’s Bigscreen website.

    Multiple Input Methods

    Navigate with your TV remote via CEC, a game controller, a keyboard and mouse, or even your phone via KDE Connect.

  • What is with the pro-AI posts lately?

    Jump

  • The kind of people who make hating AI part of their identity are pretty rare in the real world. Lemmy just creates the illusion that this loud minority's views are way more common than they actually are.

    Yup, essentially every office worker at my company is pro-ai whereas shop workers have a bit more distain for it.

    I got asked to organize shop drawings into categories so that they can feed their LLM data on the different types of products we produce, so long as it’s not someone’s personal information It genuinely doesn’t bother me.

  • Switching to macOS as my daily driver years ago. Seeing the enshittification of Windows in the last ten years has been pretty breathtaking

    Give it time, Apple will decide your Mac is not ”powerful” enough for their feature updates, that device will get left behind as well.

    At least there is some hope of installing Linux on it but the driver support will likely be horrendous.

  • kids set any other DNS, parents will never know

    I mean, if you’re forcing them to use a specific DNS resolver I doubt they’ll have privileges to modify DNS on any computer.

    On top of that, majority of kids don’t even know what a DNS even does.

  • They're stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.

    I got to disagree on this here, my smart lights introduced me to self hosting through Homebridge. I was able to enable HomeKit connections for non-HomeKit enabled devices which then lead me to create automations.

    I get home lights turn on, I close a door at a specific time lights turn off. It’s not as terrible as you may think.

  • So majority of distros you see are typically based off of another, as you’re already aware.

    We have Debian based distros such as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kali Linux, PopOS and so on, then we have Arch based distros such as Arch Linux, Manjaro, EndeavourOS and so on, and then we got Fedora based distros such Fedora, Nobara, RisiOS.

    You get the idea.

    Now if Debian were to move a package from unstable to their stable repository all these derivatives will also pick it up however, they can prioritize their own packages from their own repositories over the ones supplied by Debian.

    If you’re using Linux Mint cat /etc/apt/sources.list and also check out the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and you’ll see the repositories your system pulls from. You can add repo’s there if you want but you have to be cautious that the packages in the repo don’t conflict with the ones already installed, that means ensuring the versions are also supported on your distro.

    I’m sure others can give more detail on Arch and Fedora based systems as I am not personally well familiar with those distros and how they store their sources files.

  • Docker Desktop on Linux?

    Jump

  • Just throw your services in a docker-compose.yml file, create a docker bridge network, and assign the:

     
        
networks:
    - YourDockerNetwork

    To the services in the yaml file, specify the ports it want’s to open with 

     
        
ports:
    - 8080:8080

    And let it start up. If you want to get more complicated suggest reading the man page which really isn’t that long of a read.

    Networking really cannot be simplified, you have to view it in a logistical way of how is Point A communicating with Point B which where Docker bridge networks come into play, they make the communication easy, if all your containers are all on the same docker network all you have to do is specify http://ContainerName:Port for them to communicate back and forth internally.

  • Stuff for kids?

  • The other thing I tried was deploying an Element server so they could talk to family on their own without risk of exposure to the world at large, but ended up abandoning this.

    Matrix is a PIA to configure properly, it is nice to have once you got it running but you’ll end up spinning like 8 different services (if you use Docker) for all the functionality to work.

  • Stuff for kids?

  • Additionally, I recommend unbound for those already on pi-hole.

    Never could get unbound to work properly, it would always knock my internet out to the point of troubleshooting for hours, whether that be Pi-Hole, OpenSense or Technitium I’ve always had issues with unbound.

    As much as I like hosting my own services, I want them to be reliable.
