Privacy concerns with DHCP (DHCP fingerprinting)
  • I mean the only interesting data sent is the mac address, android phones spoofs that by default, using a separate mac adress for every network and on a debian based distro you can use https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/macchanger if you wanna spoof it when using your computer in the networks owned by others.

  • Monitoring software for a wide array of hw and sw
  • Gonna check it out!
    Is it easy to setup automatic responses to the alerts, f.e. restarting a service if it isn't answering requests in a timely manner?
    Have you used it together with Windows Servers too?

  • How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?
  • From there, have fun. Linux is like a kit car, it’s made of lots of custom parts somehow working together in chaotic harmony.

    And for both the KDE and GNOME desktop environments (DE) it is easy to add your own customization. The ArcMenu and Dash to Panel extensions gives you the bottom taskbar and start menu on the bottom left layout in GNOME and making either GNOME or KDE look like MacOS Big Sur is just a search and a tutorial away.

  • Monitoring software for a wide array of hw and sw

    I'm looking into setting up some monitoring combined with simple automation for my selfhosting. Currently I was thinking about using Zabbix. I want to: Track bandwidth usage on a router/fw and on a managed switch and track cpu/ram/disk usage on my vms. Simple monitoring (up/down/maintenance) on the router, switch, my vms as well as on linux services (jellyfin/forgejo/etc) and windows services (lab for studying work-related tools). I'm also interested in doing simple https checks on my webuis (i've had a service running but the website returning both 403 and 404 before) and testing nslookup on my internal dns (if the service is up but the lookups timeout I still want to try restarting the service).

    Is there any FOSS/FLOSS alternatives that I should look into before diving into Zabbix?

    Alternatives to Google Docs/sheets?
  • The simple solution is to use another cloud, such as proton drive mentioned below.

    Another more technical solution is to setup a vpn at home and use vpn + smb to share files with your phones, this one fails if your computer isn't always online at home or if your internet provider runs CGNAT.

    Your computer could be replaced with a selfhosted solution as nextcloud running on separate hardware, but now we're firmly in selfhosting land.

    The VPN home could be replaced with a VPS that both your home network and mobile devices connect to as a CGNAT workaround.

    The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle says that getting another cloud storage is the way to go. If you truly wanna own your cloud then a trip to selfhost land it is.

  • What it's like to be a developer in 2024
  • " in" appears 25 times on the page to be exact, with 16 of those being in the table of contents and 9 being in the text afterwards.
    "in" appears 54 times, as you know end up hitting "string" and so on.

    Had I known that the functions table of contents was as short as it is I would probably have just scrolled.

  • What it's like to be a developer in 2024
  • After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
    And for learning postgresql I agree it isn't very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.

    I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.

  • gnome-terminal changing paste shortcut ctrl+shift+v to shift+ins

    So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins. Are there any known bugs with doing this? I've only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I'm expecting.

    edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

    Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

    I'm looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven't found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.

    Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?

    Currently I'm using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

    edit 2024-02-17: After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available (passbolt or unofficial vaultwarden-deb) I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.

    A pattern for those like me that prefer not having to water and weed their farm every morning. Turning 2x star tomatoes (sell value 2x34) into 2x star tomato seed packages (sell value 2x60) seems to be a great way to generate wealth offline. Just make sure the seed makers are filled up when you log off.

    Sommarens stora projekt

    Med sommaren kommer mer tid att ägna sig åt hobbies och intressen. De flesta har något stort projekt som de "spar till semestern". Mycket av mina planer har att göra med hus, eftersom jag nyligen köpt mig ett. Jag har många meter nätverkskabel jag vill dra för att få bättre prestanda mellan min hemmaserver, tv och datorrum för att nämna ett exempel.

    Vad har du för sommarprojekt? Är det bilmek? Spela in egenkomponerad musik? Cykla från Malmö till Kiruna? Brygga en suröl?

    Regnet är på väg!

    Efter veckor av torka ska vi äntligen få regn till helgen. Eller inte. Vi har odling av potatis, morötter och lök som försöker överleva i vår köksträdgård. Vi har gett dem lite vatten om kvällarna men är samtidigt måna om att inte slösa på vattnet i brunnen. Gräsmattan är en savann.

    Hur hanterar ni trädgårdslivet en sommar som denna?
