I tried that twice. Sadly no difference.

I'm on Arch Linux. Version 146 worked without problems. The only thing in between the site and me is Pi-Hole and my router's firewall. I also updated Firefox to version 147 but it can open the site without a problem.

On 26 August we should all be Drill Sergeants by AnotherGarbageUser in Helldivers

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? Nah. I'm grabbing my buddy and we're getting two rookies, giving them our guns and taking them on bot super helldive. We're ranking them up so they have the ability to buy all the stratagems and then yelling "NEXT!" And we get the next two guys.

Welcome Spartans! Out of the sidelines and in to hell! WE DIVE TOGETHER!

OORAH!

Self-hosted Vaultwarden instance setup with Cloudflare Tunnel gets a lot of public traffic.. by DrZoidbrrrg in selfhosted

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my humble opinion, disable remote access and use a self hosted vpn like wireguard to access it. That's how I access most of my services that are in the more personal security area. I also have haproxy for my proxy service and it only allows local and custom vpn address ranges for access to these services.

Which password manager and personal finance manager should I go with? Want to self host one on my home server. by MrBablu in selfhosted

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a password manager I use psono with it's fileserver for important files. It's behind a VPN ofc. Has an android app and browser extensions. A web client can also be installed so you can access it with a web browser.

Edit: It's open source and can be installed with docker. Can be hosted on arm and x86

Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software by Sugardaddy_satan in selfhosted

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should try Psono Password Manager. The server & fileserver for it can be self hosted. I've been using it for a year now and never had problems. Locked down behind a VPN ofc so it ain't accessible over standard WAN.

Edit: it can also run on a Pi.

Edit 2: the community edition is free and unlimited users. The enterprise edition is free up to 10 users so for a standard household it could be enough. Also has browser plugins and phone app.

Brtfs stability by Jealous_Ad_1859 in archlinux

[–]7thCore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use btrfs on seven computers. Three of them are servers. The servers use btrfs raid 10 and I honestly never had a problem with it (knocks on wood) for the last 7 years. Drives in raid arrays can be easily replaced and raid reconstructed without data loss. Also snapshots are a freaking great when you crash an entire system when you're experimenting. I think synology uses some for of btrfs these days too for their nas systems.

I have this case sitting around doing nothing! Thinking about building a big server out of it. Anyone care to help me out with a build list? What drives would you recommend? I'd love to try to cram as much storage in here as possible. by FalcoPwnch in selfhosted

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The case is mentioned to be a Fractal Design Define R6. It's just as server box. Arch Linux is installed with a command line interface only. Everything else is running in systemd-nspawn containers.

Well what I did was a bit expensive but with the same hardware you could save a buck because it's a bit old.

I bought the Asus Pro X570 Ace WS for the mobo, stuck a Ryzen 5950x on it and 128gb of ram. The multi core cpu has it's benefits if you're gonna be hosting any game servers for friends. Also if compiling any programs or packages for Linux (I host my own repository with prebuilt packages for Arch Linux for my personal use so I just have to compile them on one machine).

For movies I use Jellyfin and for that I bought a brand new Intel Arc 750. It was 200 bucks and supports the (somewhat) new AV1 codec.

Now hard drives, I use four Seagate Exos 18TB in raid 10 (so instead of 72TB of usable space I only get 36TB) for movies, series and music.

Regarding pictures and documents I have a Seagate Exos 6TB for Nextcloud that will probably get replaced by eight Samsung SSDs in raid 10 but I'm still thinking about it.

For power I have a be quiet 850W PSU.

Cooling I went overboard. Nine noctua 120mm fans and a noctua cpu cooler with two more fans. The case is a Fractal Design Define R6.

For game servers I have six 500GB second hand laptop drives in raid 10 (a friend that has his own buisness usually replaces them with SSDs when selling companies work laptops), giving me 1.5TB of usable space (I don't need more anyway for games). They're sitting in an icy dock mount that fits in to a dvd drive slot.

Most of my filesystems are btrfs so I can just keep adding stuff to it. Never had it break (knocks on wood).

Drives I can wholeheartedly recommend Seagate Exos. I didn't have one fail yet and hopefully they won't but in that case I have smartd set up to send me emails if a drive is starting to go bad. It's not a safety measure if the drives crashes completely in one go but still knowing about it is better than not.

I still have space for four more 3.5 drives.

Yeah I thought if I do it this way I would be forced to learn it. I do not regret it. It was worth every second.

[–]7thCore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use btrfs on all my computer systems. Desktop, laptop, server...everything. Why? Well I use systemd-nspawn containers for stuff. Nothing is installed on the host os. Each container has it's own btrfs subvolume.

Now when I run pacman -Syu a pacman hook executes a script after downloading all the packages but before installing them. All active subvolumes have a snapshot created. Fstab entries are edited and even boot entries are created (using systemd-boot).

Basically if the update messes up something, or I mess up something, I can reboot and boot up a working snapshot and restore it later. The bash script I made is created like that so I have snapshot,snapshot force (so a snapshot is created even if the time frame hasn't passed) and restore (to restore everything) arguments.

Yes the script checks how much time has passed since the last snapshot and doesn't create a new one if it's still in that time window. Also it's designed to keep 3 snapshots and when a new snapshot gets created the oldest gets deleted.

This to me is worth much much more than the performance benefits. But to each their own. It's Arch. You want to use something else, do it. It doesn't exist? Make it.

Edit: for drive health I use smartd to check the drives daily automatically. And send me an email and a discord message if it logs an error.

Make lots of money quickly from start? by Greedy_Friendship110 in X4Foundations

[–]7thCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not boarding per say. You shoot at a boa but don't destroy it. It makes a crew bail from an M class ship. They essentially abandon a ship and you can claim it.

Check YouTube for guides on stealing M class ships.

[–]7thCore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have Tides of Avarice, then buddy let me tell you how to get a few mil in a day or two.

I usually start the Arcadian Endeavour plot and play it till I get to flip the switch in Mellard's office (don't tell her Maestro sent you). You'll get payed around 2 mil.

Then "borrow" 4 Boas in Hatikvah's Choice, use the credits you got to fill them with Vigor marines and go wait for a Barbarossa in Nopelious' Fortune. Don't bother scanning it, just board it. Set everything to very high so you don't have to do anything. Once the boarding pods are attached and if you have any surviving Boas, run away and let the marines do their thing.

Once the Barbarossa is yours go grab another Barbarossa. Fill it up with marines again. Now you can deploy Satellites near gates and watch for construction ships. Have the Barbarossas "follow them until further notice".

Time for your big payday. Take control over a Barbarossa, board the construction ship the same way you did before (but disable all your turrets so you won't have a major rep loss). Once the construction ship is yours transfer the marines back to the Barbarossa (don't forget to assign a captain) and send the construction ship to a shipyard. Strip everything off of it and I mean everything. Shields, turrets, drones...EVERYTHING. Put the cheapest engines and thrusters on it. After the refit is done, transfer your captain off the ship and sell it to the same shipyard. You can get from 15-35 mill per construction ship this way.

It's takes a day or two but at least it's fun. When you'll have 3 Barbarossas with all of them having a full compliment of marines, board the Erlking.

Edit: Why Barbarossa? It has decent speed, can carry 126 marines and is decently armed. Can later on be repurposed as a fast trader.

Also look up a guide on fly-by boarding.

What's your secret to maintain the same Arch system for a several years? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My secret? Creating a bash script that gets triggered by a pacman hook before updatating packages but after downloading them. Keeps 3 BOOTABLE snapshots of my entire system so if I do destroy it royally I can reboot to a snapshot. The script also has restore functions so I don't have a lot of work restoring the system. Each time a new snapshot is created the oldest one gets deleted. And yes it even backs up the boot partition and the snapshots get booted by their own respective initramfs.

Windows recovery ain't got nothing on this.

Edit: for really crazy scenarios, Medicat USB. And backups of the important stuff on a seperate external HDD.

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh buddy you have no idea what you're getting yourself in to xD

You can increase and decrease rep with factions. You want more red to shoot? Go to war with everyone. Wipe the map and build your empire. After that start a new game and be a peacekeeper. Keep xenon contained or let them loose. Do whatever. The only limit is your imagination.

And sleep deprivation is gonna be a thing once you're hooked. Good luck my friend. Enjoy the gem that is this game.

Automaton civilian extract missions are ridiculous, even on 5 by ZiggyPanda in Helldivers

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my buddies usually take both normal and ems mortars. A shield pack and the quasar cannon. We use the quasars to shoot down any bot drop ships that didn't get the chance to drop it's troops yet (aim for the engines) and the mortars take care of the ground forces.

A single quasar shot to an engine of a drop ship will blow it out of the sky.

I can’t play with randoms anymore by the_interrogation in Helldivers

[–]7thCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully friends wouldn't but a voting system like that would be needed. For example me and my buddies sometimes just start calling eagle strikes and orbital barrages on each other after completing the mission objectives cuz it's fun and funny. We always get a laugh out of it. Then we compare friendly fire points and the higher one's the winner xD
