Lots of good alternatives advice already here but I have a couple comets and they work pretty well! They don’t require cloud access except for updates if you want them, I think it has Tailscale built in as well. Their newest one has an HDMI pass through as well which is handy in some situations. I have the PoE version of the other one and it works the same way, the power control kits work too! I also have a jet KVM and it’s fine, I like the comet better I think! They have also open sourced their cloud thing so you can centrally manage them all, it’s pretty neat!

Technology@lemmy.world•A Podcast Episode about the FediverseEnglish
2·1 month agoThis was a great episode, this is one of my favorite podcasts so I was able sign up for a forkiverse account in time hah! It actually went pretty well and it was cool to watch it get more active!
Here is the episode page: https://www.searchengine.show/the-fediverse-experiment/
Their episodes are always interesting! Definitely worth a listen! If you like that type of podcast definitely check out Hyperfixed and Heavyweight.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to Use Local IP for Services when at Home?English
2·1 month agoOkay lots of good info here but just to make sure it was clear that you are kinda solving two different but related problems. Connectivity with WireGuard or other VPN and split-horizon or multi-horizon DNS (Wikipedia) which also called a view sometimes (like BIND) and can also be done with two different DNS servers. You can sorta do it with AdGuard but it is tedious to maintain. If you are using a wildcard rewrite it works alright but that isn’t necessarily the same as a CNAME or subzone delegation.
The next pice I’m not sure I saw mentioned is that WireGuard is not like other VPNs in that if two nodes are on the same network they will generally communicate directly peer to peer even over WireGuard addresses so you don’t really need to worry about traffic hairpin like you described unless you configure it to do so (which is more like traditional VPN would act). Tailscale is similar in concept but it uses different terms and technologies.
Anyway not sure if that helped or made it more confusing but there are may ways to solve it so good luck! FWIW, my home network is currently set up with a public zone on a commercial provider. It has a wildcard CNAME to something like proxy.domain and that is an A record containing the WireGuard addresses. Then my local DNS overrides the one A record for the proxy internally which I only get when WG is off. I would rate this solution adequately functional but medium level of janky, 8/10 would use again :D

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•solved (sort of): How are people discovering random subdomains on my server?English
2·2 months agoOkay I saw your previous post but I’m curious now. What happens if you curl your IP address on port 80? Does it send back a 30X redirect for SSL to your newly configured subdomain as the new default location for r do you get back your IP but using SSL?

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?
2·3 months agoHah I am glad it was helpful! Glad to share, I always felt like half the point of learning is to share what you learned. That is one of my favorite “hidden gems” for lack of a better term that can be a real time saver.
Bonus just for more fun: you can use
cd -to switch back to the directory you were last in after changing directories, it toggles the top two paths in the stack. It is similar to how pushd/popd work if you have you used those. I use that one a ton, there are fancier tools now but that one works everywhere.Oh also, anyone on a Mac needs to know about pbcopy, Linux has xclip and I don’t remember what the Wayland analog is.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?
8·3 months agoTo add to this one, it also supports more than just the previous command (which is what !! means), you can do like
sudo !453to run command 453 from your history, also supports relative like!-5. You can also use without sudo if you want which is handy to do things like!lsfor the last ls command etc. Okay one more, you can add:pto the end to print the command before running it just in case like!systemctl:pwhich can be handy!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??
11·5 months agoLots of good advice here and I am not THAT old but here are a few things I wish I had realized sooner in life (in no particular order or theme):
- No one really knows what they are doing, more experienced people usually have just made the mistakes already.
- There is a difference between being correct and getting someone to agree you are correct, the former is the most important and the latter is not always possible or desired and when to argue and when to let someone be wrong is a skill that takes practice.
- The less time spent worrying about what other people think of you the happier you will be and the easier life will feel. In almost all situations you spend more time thinking about whatever it is than the other person does.
- Always strive to be a good and like-able person but always remember that it’s impossible to be liked by everyone, sometimes people just won’t like you and that is okay.
- One friend you can count on is more valuable than 100 acquaintances, guard and nurture your valued friendships like your life depends on it because it might some day.
The biggest thing though, there isn’t one correct way to live your life and anyone telling you differently is probably selling you something. Always try to learn something from every situation and you will be fine, mistakes are a part of life. Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Everytime I try to start something with Linux I fail.
21·7 months agoIn contrast, and I say this as someone who has used various types of Unix and Linux for a long time, I think this is an excellent use for AI, just be sure to use it to teach you things not just to solve your problems for you.
What I mean by this is I have found (mostly Claude) to be great at explaining concepts, especially if you use it to make analogies to something you know. It is absolutely not right every single time but I have had great luck with questions like “explain to me how to X in Y tool, I know how to have the same outcome by doing A in B tool” or “explain to me how docker works using a rocket as a metaphor” or things like that. Also I use it a lot for new subjects where I don’t know what to search for quite yet and I can just give it a long rambling explanation and example and ask it for 3 suggestions to research further or things to check. It is kind of useful as an expensive search engine but if you use it like a research engineer to get you started it can be really helpful in my experience.
As others have said though, I have been doing it forever both personally and professionally and I am definitely still learning. Linux knowledge is more of a skill to develop over time not something that is easy to master because it continually changes. Learning how to find or figure out the answers is the most valuable skill though, it’s impossible to remember everything. That and often there is no single right or correct answer for every situation but there are a lot of options and opinions and often more of the latter than the former. That said though usually the best answer is the one that I forget about because it functions forever and doesn’t blow up in my face hah.
Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful, best of luck!

Linux@lemmy.ml•Headaches with signal propagation when piping in a Docker container
4·7 months agoI think you already decided what I would have recommended (just write to a log file in your python script) but I wanted to hopefully help with the rest of the question hah.
So the first thing to remember is that a pipe (
|) in Linux is a unidirectional data channel that passesstdoutfrom the left command the right command’sstdinand this is its only function. Also notable is that exit status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command in the pipeline (unless thepipefailoption is enabled but this isn’t the behavior you wanted either), this is what is available in$?as well immediately after the pipe exits in a script, problem with that is that tee can exit successfully while the previous command failed because it did its job redirecting output.To get the behavior you are after you would probably need to write a script that does the signal handling or it might work if you use exec to wrap your python+tee command in your dockerfile because then the bash process will get replaced by python or tee, I’m not sure which or how tee will interact with exec without testing though.
Anyway, hope that helps, here are the docs on pipe which are worth a read. In fact when double checking something just now, I learned I can do
|&today instead of&1 |which is neat hah!Edit: I forgot to mention, signal handing in docker is a whole other animal so depending on how you are specifically running it the behavior and signals might not be what is expected or the same as running the commands outside of docker.
Great article about it: https://medium.com/@gchudnov/trapping-signals-in-docker-containers-7a57fdda7d86

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results?English
7·8 months agoI had a few ideas, I’m suspicious that handbrake is falling back to CPU, maybe check the logs of the container to make sure it isn’t falling back to CPU decoding. Otherwise here are a few things I would check next:
- If you are not using docker locally so you are already doing this, you will need to configure the docker container to pass through the GPU for quicksync to work inside the container.
- If you are already doing that then I would make sure the device is the same name on the synology, it probably is but just to be sure.
- you will likely need to add your user to the video and/or render group on the synology if you haven’t, especially if you are running the container as your user instead of root
- make sure you are reading and writing to volumes that use bind mounts and not docker volumes, overlayfs is not what I would call fast and writing especially.
So I had a few thoughts. I’m not sure that you can use the docker device flag with a directory as you have there, I think it expects a device node, you can pass that directory as a volume (-v) though.
If that doesn’t work you might also try running the VM with host-passthrough mode set on the CPU as well if it isn’t set that way already, sometimes that is also required for pass through to work from my experience. Also, make sure you passed through the whole device node, sometimes there are audio devices you have to pass through with the GPU device or you will get odd errors like those initialization ones you had. I’m not sure if this is the case for Intel iGPU though offhand though. Are you able to use
intel_gpu_topon the VM to access the GPU? None of that is necessarily specific to proxmox though (but probably applies to anything libvirt powered) so YMMV.Edit: I realized you may not know what a “device node” is, that is the full path to the device, like /dev/dri/renderD128 vs /dev/dri which is actually a directory.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•The Way Ubuntu Boots on Raspberry Pi is ChangingEnglish
2·8 months agoI do on some of mine because it makes some of the automation i have for them simpler to maintain when it is also applied to x86 hardware or virtual machines. It used to be a huge pain to use on a pi but it works pretty well these days, especially since about 24.04 I want to say.
All of the advice here is great but that is a Bambu printer, you should run its calibration routine again I would say and see what it says it also should be able to compensate if the bed is warped if you tell it to do bed leveling (unless the A1 doesn’t do that, I think it does though).
Also, when you say collisions is the printer colliding with itself or the part? You can also run an homing routine and manually move the hotend around to see if it has issues.
Also RE the local event, is the air temp really hot where you are? You might need extra part and hotend cooling if the ambient temp is like 40C or something. I mean like tweak the slicer not put an external fan on it necessarily hah.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentationEnglish
3·10 months agoOh it is certainly not just you, I am sometimes confused reading them even for commands I have used for years and I know what flag I am looking for but don’t remember the exact syntax or something hah! I am glad they are there but they are definitely not a complete guide to any command, especially built-ins.
Interestingly, this is something AI has been very useful for to me, less searching because I can describe the outcome I want and it figures out what I am talking about generally.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•TrueNAS Scale, hard disks, and poolsEnglish
3·10 months agoOkay so the disks aren’t also on UPS? That might actually be even worse than the whole thing getting turned off, ZFS is definitely not meant to be run on removable disks like that.
bigredgiraffe@lemmy.worldto
Selfhosted@lemmy.world•TrueNAS Scale, hard disks, and poolsEnglish
2·10 months agoOkay so when you say “unplug the power” do you mean shut it down first or just pull the plug? The latter is a great way to corrupt your storage pools as ZFS uses memory for read and write cache etc by default. You definitely need to do a graceful shutdown especially if there is data that was recently written to disk, that’s why a UPS is so recommended. That said you can usually import an existing pool when that happens, I think there is a UI menu for it now.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Your recommendation for smart plugEnglish
1·10 months agoAs others have said, be careful with fans if they are large, many of the plugs don’t have a very high wattage rating and are all definitely rated for 15a at max usually, you might consider a smart relay instead (like a Shelly or something).
That said I have switches and plug-in and in-wall relays from Aqara (zigbee) and TP-Link (WiFi) and zooz (zwave) and all are fine and do the job. Not all support power monitoring if that is something that matters to you, it’s not a universal feature.

Yeah I’m curious too because I have played Cyberpunk without any issue on both the steam deck and bazzite for a long time, cyberpunk even has a graphics preset for the deck so I’m not sure what’s happening either.
EDIT: Even using both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards (before the latest nvidia driver version debacle though)
