  • That is not even a 3310 (which didn't have a camera), I'm pretty sure it's an 1110. Which was even more basic!

    So yeah, no idea what that guy is doing either. Probably looking for signal!

  • Linux is easy!
  • linux is easy... to break things. But look at all the amazing things you'll learn recovering from that!

    The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I've been in similar shit way too many times.

  • Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more
  • Seems to me the whole argument boils down to "they (the passkeys) are generally saved in proprietary non-communicating stores", which is fair. But then the problem is not the passkey, it's the fact that we (as usual) give all our stuff to corps. It's the eternal struggle of easy of use vs. better security.

    I host my own vaultwarden btw 😊

  • Some ideas are just too terrifying to implement
  • Home automation is really helpful to solve those issues. Heating will turn off if a window is open for more than one minute. Heating schedule is controlled centrally (and enforced every few minutes, so even touching the thermostat has no impact). I'm trying to move to presence sensors as well to cut on the lights on forever.

  • static website generator

    Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

    I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

    I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.

    I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks!

    fermenting buddies

    The one on top is my levain starter, bottom is kimchi (first aattempt, fingers crossed!).

    I just find it funny that they are in their cozy corner bubbling away together 😄

    game with no monsters? solved

    Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together.

    Thanks!

    ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option

    only_peaceful_mobs = true

    in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2

    I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol.

    Thanks to @[email protected] for the tip!

    XMPP and whatsapp bridge

    Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).

    My requirements are:

    • e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
    • audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
    • whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.

    Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).

    So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.

    Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    wholemeal sourdough

    after a few months of tries this one looks better!

    • 200gr wholemeal stoneground flour
    • 80gr spelt flour
    • 100gr white flour
    • 100gr starter
    • 250ml water (actually a smidge less than that)
    • salt

    Folded 5 times every 30 minutes. Let it rest for a 5 hours on the kitchen counter, degassed (well, that's just a fancy word, it just deflated when I poked it lol), then let it rest overnight (12 hours) in the fridge. Cooked in the oven inside dutch oven. Let it cool for 24hours before cutting it.

    Taste good, it's not as wet as the previous experiments where I just let it rest overnight in the fridge.

    It's "dense", which in a way is good because if the holes were too big the butter/peanut butter would just drip through! But I'd like to have it a just a bit more fluffy I guess. I know the starter is good because when I feed it it grows like crazy (and smells good).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    That's not how kites work

    Unless you are in dangerously high winds (like shit-flying-around-winds), when you cut the string on a kite it comes down. Sadly and floppily.

    Edit: spelling

    Happy sysadmin day!

    May the uptime be long and the logs without errors (and not just because logging is broken!)

    Self hosting minecraft

    Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).

    I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?

    TIA
