Yep. All the headless automation broke…

My company blocked ssh keys in favour of password + 2FA. Honestly I don’t mind the 2FA since we use yubikeys, but wouldn’t ssh key + 2FA be better?

On steam people know they have an option to sail the high seas. But the same concern is there.

I thought this was a new hip smiley I didn’t know about until I read the article :)

Everything over a certain amount should be taxed 100%. Not everything. But also there should be a substantial house tax on mansions. And a higher house tax if you own more than one property.

Yeah. Same here. It’s amazing how many people feel entitled to things for free.

Inverter + install + testing. It’s deep in the car so a lot has to come out (I was told).

I know, but in the past the independent dealers didn’t have to deal directly with BMW for fixes. Now with all the authentication needed you can’t just get a replacement part from anywhere any more. Similar to how Apple locked down its batteries, BMW is doing the same.

I’m never buying a BMW again. I had an electric i3 which had an inverter (charger) failure. BMW wanted €12k to fix it. Thankfully an independent offered to do it for 4K. But BMW still wanted 3K just to plug it in and authenticate the new block. Nothing else, just “bless” it. Made the fix cost-prohibitive so we just had to scrap the car. The battery, which most people fear, was fine on this 8 year old car.

I was starting to think there was something wrong with my setup. Glad it wasn’t just me! Hopefully they’ll fix it. Better they be upfront and admit the mistake.

Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.

You should look into ranked voting. You still only get one vote, just if your preferred candidate is eliminated you can propose your second/third choice as well. This allows you to vote with your morals but also strategically.

Try Emby. Hardware acceleration works out of the box. It is paid though but I’m very happy with it for past few years.

I have similar setup but without PROXMOX. I tried it but never saw the benefit. Using ZFS for bitrot protection.

Syncthing isnt a backup. Its just a synchronisation tool. If you delete a file it gets deleted everywhere.

What’s the alternative?

CasaOS looks interesting. But i prefer OpenMediaVault for the moment.

I’m not sure, i made a comment on the controversy over linus tech tips, basically there may have been miscommunication and we should wait and see before demonising anyone. But people took what i said the wrong way and downvoted me to eternity. It was quite depressing. I didn’t say anyone was wrong or anyone was right. Just stated i’d been in a position before where people misunderstood my intentions so i understand how easily it can happen.

Things are easy or free. Rarely both. :) it’s well worth learning OMV. If you have any questions I’ll try to help!

I run OMV baremetal for last few years. I really like it. I did try TrueNAS and found it too convoluted.

Nextcloud is a totally different beast that would run on top of either.

OMV allows you to use ZFS as well if you want (I do) but also the flexibility to use other raid systems.

I just wish they’d left in portainer as default. No point reinventing the docker wheel…
