    The Death of Traditional VPNs: How DPI Firewalls Use Machine Learning to Fingerprint Your Traffic

    Jump

  • And DPI relies on endpoints using their CA and MiTM certificate. It's not like it can happen without your knowledge (at least on personal devices). After implementing DPI on multiple different firewall devices on home and enterprise networks, it's a fairly deliberate setup process on the endpoint. Not a, "they can listen in whenever they want," scenario.

  • Linux Enacts Guidance To Tighten Acceptance Of New File-Systems Into The Kernel

    Jump

  • Years ago it was really hard to run digital signage on Linux. No real free drivers, old kernels, tons of reverse engineering.

  • You ever hear of Porteus?

    Two jobs ago, I oversaw a few dozen TV's with Windows XP embedded. They basically booted up and ran a PowerPoint presentation on a loop. Obviously, the XP part was a problem in 2017, so I did some research, and found that the closest thing to what we had was Porteus.

    Porteus turns the machine into a kiosk that can be very locked down, automatically reboot, etc. It worked a treat for me.

    Edit: Garlic seems interesting. I managed my machines with VNC, but that wouldn't scale very well at all. Not in the signage game anymore, or I'd be messing with it for sure.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

  • That's not Linux, though; that's docker.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

  • Maybe now. .NET wasn't always open, used to be Windows-only, was buggy, version-dependent (but not as bad as the jre could be; true), and had (still has) poor resource-management. I think you're talking about .NETCore.

    That said, I wasn't commenting on the code viability (I'm not a professional developer) so much as the support overhead required (back when I worked support) for the different versions of .NET, especially when MS stopped including v3.5 in Windows except by using "features and programs" or downloading and installing it manually.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

  • Many of us started running Windows Server and endpoints, but in my case, the cost and substandard tools turned me away. I was running A DLNA server and using WDS (yes, very overkill for home, but fun to learn for work), but then I found TrueNAS (then called FreeNAS) running on BSD. I now run a simple share from there and Kodi on my (Linux and Android) user endpoints. I don't bother with imaging anymore, and use dd for backups to my NAS. My Firewall runs OPNSense (BSD) and I run OpenWRT on two TrendNet WAPs.

    I'll never go back to MS. It's just not a welcoming platform from my perspective. Don't even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry "redistributables" constantly required by every tool you try to use.

    This is a natural progression. Inescapable.

  • Fine. Forget about it.

  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Plex stopped being useful to me in 2019. At the time I had only about 300 movies and the same number of TV episodes. The database kept getting corrupt, causing long load times of video info pages, or perpetual spinning progress indicator. After fixing the database (and losing all watch metadata each time) three times in one year, I moved to a plain file share served from the NAS with Kodi running on my Nvidia Shield.

    In seven years, Kodi's local DB has never corrupted. I now have 900+ movies and 2500 TV episodes. I can handle any file type, any video CODEC, can play thousands of games from the internet game library. The DB can be easily backed up and imported into a new install if needed.

    And the best part? I didn't pay anyone to access any of the media I own, and no corpo gets access to my library or watch history.

    Forget Plex.

  • Pedantic comment of the day

    as residential networks are want to do

    The word you're thinking of is "wont" pronounced the same as "want," which makes it pretty confusing for anyone who might not have read it before, but only heard it spoken.

  • Ageless Linux Emerges to Protest OS-Level Age Verification Laws

  • That's a really good point. At that point, we're just talking about a voluntary answer, right? I'm more concerned about the API exposed to the world, so patching that away was what I was thinking.

  • antiX 26 Released as Systemd-Free Debian 13 Distro with Five Init Systems

    Jump

  • So MX Linux (which, last I checked already had an alternative to systemd) should follow suit as a derivative of antiX, right?

    ETA: I went from MX to Nobara last spring when my RX 9070 needed new Mesa to work (as opposed to a black screen), but I'd be happy to go back. It was super stable.

  • Ageless Linux Emerges to Protest OS-Level Age Verification Laws

    Jump

  • I would like a package you could easily install on any distro that patches age verification out of the system. I'm not switching distros (yet) for this, as much as I also am not on board with the concept of OS-level compliance with mass control and censorship.
