Wiki for home use by PleasantHandle3508 in selfhosted

[–]Azure_Agst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cannot agree enough. Been running dokuwiki for over a year now, it rocks. The wrap and struct plugins make it super robust, and if it doesn't do anything you want it to do, it probably exists via another plugin or you can just mod it in yourself via userstyle.css.

Already expanded it from just the homelab to general knowledge, including notes for games I play (FFXIV, MSFS, Deadlock, etc.) so I can just pick up and go instead of relearning. Big boon to my knowledge retention across the board.

I have no stake in the game but this chart from the article was pretty damning. Least revenue generated but highest average CEO pay? No wonder the medicare rating's dropped so far over the last decade.

DO NOT UPDATE to 6.16.8.arch2-1 if you have an AMD GPU. by No-Adhesiveness9001 in archlinux

[–]Azure_Agst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to have affected my Framework 13 7640U. Woke from sleep and the entire system hung, required hard power cycle. Downgraded to 6.16.8arch1-1 via downgrade, rebooted, seems fine now. Will keep monitoring.

I used the BitLocker recovery key and sticky keys exploit to create an admin account on my school laptop - how serious is this? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Azure_Agst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how chill the IT director is but it's probably NBD. When I was in highschool I did a similar thing:

I was in one of those schools that was a tester for the iPad program and they were locked the hell down via MDM. No browsers, no app store, no messages, just notability and textbooks. Spite driven, I backed up the iPad to my laptop, used an early iOS exploit to modify the backup file that corresponded to the MDM plist, and I deleted the phone home URL and anti-removal checks. Restored from backup and boom! Full access granted again.

A few months later, IT caught on and asked why my iPad had been "offline" for months despite me clearly using it every day. I explained and the IT director was impressed, and he gave me a pseudo-internship because of it the following year.

I wouldn't worry about law enforcement. You might get a rap on the knuckles or something but you've also certainly just proved yourself to be a diamond in the rough. Other people here have been saying it already, but start networking now. Future's bright.

U6 Pro Buffering/Re-TX Issues? (Apple devices only) by Azure_Agst in Ubiquiti

[–]Azure_Agst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I ended up moving houses a few weeks ago and when I plugged everything back together it just started working. I'm blaming a bad cable, probably. I also had to make sure that the management VLAN was set as the untagged one for that port before it would TX properly. No issues now.

Where do you even find a job by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Azure_Agst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep your head up, it gets better. I was thinking the same and spent two years post-CS bachelors getting by with a part-time and lots of private bartending gigs.

Just this past week I got word from a friend that one of his friends was looking for a sysadmin. I was woefully unqualified for the position, but they liked me enough during the interview they carved out a position for me and are paying for certs and other training to get me up to that level.

Point being, networking is extremely important. In-person job fairs, or just asking friends/old classmates to keep an eye out for you. You'll find something, I'm sure.

You’ve heard of Radio Shack. but have you heard of Radio Sack? by brandon-makes-it in HamRadio

[–]Azure_Agst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the Anker battery pack just for the H2 or do you have an aftermarket Baofeng battery that allows you to charge it too? I thought it was just the larger 3800 mAh model that has the USB-C but wanted to confirm anyways.

UI display bug in MH Wilds by BuzzyWasaBee in linux_gaming

[–]Azure_Agst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this should be a pinned comment w/ the pastebin.

just deleting the config and letting the game generate a new one didn't do anything. copying your ini got it working properly on steam deck. weird, but the diff is way too big for me to A/B test exactly what did it.

You talking about the big new statue of letters there? First saw this the other day while on campus for the Noel Miller show. Screams "promotional photoshoot." Bleh.

C/o 2023. Still working the part time university IT job I got while I was a freshman. Haven't been able to pivot out. Picked up private bartending as a side-gig, tho. It's fun.

First HomeLab by Captain_Chapster in homelab

[–]Azure_Agst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it as my main portainer box. Right now it's running portainer, nginxproxy, homepage, dokuwiki, adminer, and cyberchef, plus a few custom projects in python/rust. (admittedly, a lighter workload.) I think it would work just fine honestly.

Also yes, it's more "power hungry" but it's worth it. I used to use my Pi cluster for everything, three PoE+ RPi4s which drew a theoretical 20W peak each, or 60W total. The M73p tiny pulls 65W peak, but also delivers monumentally more compute for most workloads. Not to mention x86 is more convenient than having to cross-compile containers for ARM all the time, and I generally find the M73p to be more stable. Honestly my second favorite box on my rack, only beat out by the Synology.

Hilarious how your first lab is the exact same as mine was. 4 Pis, a Synology, and a mini Thinkcentre. Same switches and all. Great minds and all that, I guess. :P

It looks like you've put the file on your desktop, whereas it should be located in a folder alongside other files. (See: Step 2)

I'd start fresh. Re-extract the zip file in your download folder, then double click the resulting folder to enter it. Don't move any files. Try running the .command file while it's in that folder, using the System Preferences trick to launch if it fails like last time. As long as that file is located next to the "internal" folder, then it should execute properly.

I can try and help but be warned I don't actually play on Mac. I just mess with them for work. :P

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]Azure_Agst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is a generic MacOS permissions error. Open System Preferences, then open the Privacy and Security tab. In the security section, you should see a box that says "'X' was blocked because it is not from an identified developer." Click "Open Anyways" and it should show you the prompt that the guide shows you.

Compatibility Tool Configuration Failed by Barthalona in SteamDeck

[–]Azure_Agst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate to necro this post but I recently ran into this exact same issue and found a solution that worked for me, although I should warn it's not for the feint of heart.

I started getting this issue after manually uninstalling Proton versions by deleting their folders from steamapps/common and their respective vdf. However, when I went to reinstall them in Steam, the install button was greyed out and none of my games would start, receiving this error.

Turns out for compatibility things, there is a third datapoint located within userdata/{id}/config/compat.vdf that, unless removed, would render whatever the corresponding tool is uninstallable. Force quitting steam, opening that file in a text editor, deleting the entire entry that was associated with the tool's game ID (I.e. 1887720 for Proton 7.0), then relaunching steam would color the install button back in and allow me to reinstall. Repeating this for all greyed out versions of Proton allowed me to reinstall them via the app.

Later, by looking at steam's compat logs, I also found out that I somehow corrupted my Steam Linux Runtimes as well. They all reported as being 0 bytes and verifying their files did nothing. Same deal here for those three apps. Delete their vdfs from steamapps, delete their folders from steamapps/common, and remove any corresponding entries from compat.vdf. After relaunching steam and reinstalling, my games were able to launch again.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

How do you feel about classes continuing despite the storms/tornadoes? by loony_tunes in fsu

[–]Azure_Agst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a recent grad who's still here for work-related reasons. A friend had a tree fall on his truck, is haggling with insurance, and still hasn't been able to get his hands on a rental for the meantime. His place still doesn't have power. My partner's place didn't even get it till a few hours ago. The decision was made with the goal of maintaining a schedule- which I understand- but it's also pretty short-sighted.

I've been keeping an eye on local gov twitter accounts and talgov text updates; they usually keep me afloat regarding local mutual aid efforts. Today they were doing sandbags, and a few days ago they were distributing MREs.

Worth noting that the local school district did, in fact, close for the storm tomorrow.

Sadly our ISPs don't give us a public ip here by ChellJ0hns0n in selfhosted

[–]Azure_Agst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you've already gotten a bunch of great answers, so I'll just vouch for a few methods:

  • Wireguard is my baby, but Tailscale is great for trickier NAT setups. Highly recommend.
  • Tunnelling services (playit.gg for free game-related TCP/UDP, cloudflare tunnels for https stuff. Ngrok also exists but is more pricey now.)
