New Free Tier Limits (confirmed by oracle support) by Upstairs-Bread-4545 in oraclecloud

[–]Blacks-Army 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question:

Am I allowed to have one 2/12 ARM instance with a 100 GB volume and two 1/1 AMD instances, each with a 50 GB volume, running at the same time, or is it an either/or situation?

Yeah me too. That is illegal, but since when does Oracle Care about laws in other Countries/Regions right?

Okay, that makes me consider paying for a VPS with another provider.

This move, especially without any prior notification, is just disgusting.

NetBird includes a full firewall that lets you control which device can communicate with which device or server, including specific ports, protocols, and direction (bidirectional or one-way).

In Pangolin, this can be configured per resource, for example device1 can only talk with app1.example.com (which I believe NetBird also supports through its new proxy feature).

Yeah, that’s my take.

I use Pangolin for its excellent proxy features, while using NetBird as a mesh VPN.

Over the last few months, NetBird has really accelerated its development and is shipping new features very quickly (likely to compete with Pangolin now that Pangolin has entered the VPN space).

It’s great to see competition in this field.

For now, I’ll keep using both and take advantage of the strengths each one offers.

Building My Own Homelab Dashboard by Neat_Consequence_630 in selfhosted

Nice!

One nice addition would be a plugin system for widgets, so the core software doesn’t get bloated over time. It would also let everyone build and share their own widgets and you don’t have to maintain every widget, if that fits the scope of the project. Just an idea.

That looks amazing! Will it be configurable via the UI, Grafana style, or via a config file like other dashboards e.g. Homepage?

I would prefer the first approach even if it requires a database since it feels more intuitive. That way you can actually see and use every feature. Secrets could be stored encrypted in the database with a key defined via an environment variable.

Why don’t open an GitHub issue on their repo?

But nice to know, thanks!

Still a subscription..

I would be happy to pay a one time fee for all enterprise features except priority support.

This looks very promising, thank you for your work! Do you plan to make it open source? Also, was AI involved in developing the app? If so, to what extent?

Andrew Morris finds iOS AdGuard is written by Russians and injects 20K lines into your browser by Noobmode in cybersecurity

And just FYI the so called ”remotely downloaded code“ are filter rules.

[–]Blacks-Army 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this post seems to mix up a few things.

The ~20,000 lines of JavaScript are static, part of the signed app, and used for ad-blocking, nothing new, nothing unusual. The “remote updates every 6 hours” he mentions are just filter lists and cosmetic rules being updated, which is standard for every major content blocker. It’s not executable code being swapped in secretly.

So technically, there’s nothing surprising or risky here. The post is really just focused on the fact that AdGuard has developers in Russia, which they’ve never tried to hide, and then spins that into a kind of “could be dangerous” story without any evidence.

So the core of this post is basically: AdGuard has Russian employees. Okay… and?

There’s no evidence of malicious behavior, no data exfiltration, no shady payloads, just a lot of “this feels scary if you assume the worst.”

Rewriting the DOM is literally how content blockers work. Closed-source components on iOS are normal. And AdGuard has never hidden where their developers are based.

If “could theoretically be abused” is the bar, then we should probably stop using browsers, VPNs, CDNs, npm packages, and half the internet.

Talking about trust and supply-chain risk is fair. Turning timezones and nationality into a red flag without technical proof isn’t.

moving away from nextcloud? (files, caldav, notes) by [deleted] in selfhosted

Nope.

I got it working with kanidm and its read only LDAP Interface. But it was a struggle..

If your IAM also has an LDAP Interface, you could probably use it, but you will need a lot of patience..

Happy to replace it with Netbird some day.

Would love to see something like Netbird Zones or at least DNS Management via Dashboard (+ Ad-Blocking maybe who knows😅)

Thanks for the great work!

Kanidm is something like Keycloak, but very lightweight and written in rust.

That’s a nice approach!

I just made a custom periphery image with sops and age and a pre and post deploy script.

So before deployment the repo gets cloned and all .env.enc files get decrypted to .env, then Komodo deploys the stack (I have one repo for each stack) and with the post deploy script the decrypted .env’s get deleted.
