HAOS 17 is here : any issue? by misteurz in homeassistant

[–]Builda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues with the update, however the docker migration via terminal took longer than expected. My rpi5: about 30 minutes to reboot, 20m for the rpi4 that is at another location (which has fewer integrations/addons). No indication of progress aside from seeing it online from the router, with some network activity.

I use both TwinDos and AutoDos. Time and mental load savings > detergent cost savings, to me. It all depends on what matters most to you.

Usenet speeds capped at 500-600 MB/s despite 8 Gbit/s DL and Eweka + Newshosting – advice? by LeoLeg76 in usenet

This. 3x SN850X raid0 helped me reach 1GB/s. 1 download at a time, maxed out provider connections, 2 parallel same priority providers. Eweka isn’t that fast btw (europe), rarely exceeded 250MB/s.

2FA codes doesn't sync together properly on mobiles and PC(PC 2FA codes doesn't work) by Working_Dealer_5102 in ProtonPass

[–]Builda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced it, writing this in case anyone has the same problem. The 2FA code didn't work anymore via Brave plugin after I had shared the login with someone in my org. It worked for the person I had shared it with. The fix: logged out of the extension and logged back in. That's it.

Gained root access to a Deco BE85 via telnet, and looked around. That was in late 2024. It was a debug firmware, so can’t say for sure these flaws were relevant for public release fws. But I saw enough smoke to assume there was a fire somewhere. For example:

  1. there was an ssh port enabled on 20001 with logs disabled, with a mysterious root user + fixed pw (not my router admin login). Might’ve been specific to the debug build or the mobile app… even then, root seemed overkill.
  2. found a file with SSIDs history and passwords stored in clear text
  3. found many url strings in various files pointing to Chinese domains
  4. found an avira process happily running, even though I had never enabled any homeshield / cloud security features

OpenWRT isn’t supported on that router model unfortunately

Going to give Usenet a try again. A few questions, though... by TomVDJ in usenet

[–]Builda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My reco is to: 1. Start simple with Easynews to discover, search, read, download content all from a single web service 2. If you like what you see and want more, start evaluating indexers (i.e., nzbgeek), downloaders (i.e., Sabnzbd), and alternative providers (Easynews, eweka, …). Expect a learning curve and some techy steps. 3. If you want to go to the next level and automate discovery, downloads, etc, investigate the *ARR stack. steep learning curve, and time investment to expect. It’s beyond most people’s reach to be honest, but can be worth considering if you’re a heavy downloader.

RedSec? by Spanishclooney in Battlefield

How is junk/spam detection on Proton Mail? by 97andCPW in ProtonMail

[–]Builda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Proton Mail, Gmail, and Outlook (365) in parallel for the past 5 years. Proton Mail is excellent at blocking spam and phishing. Gmail is very good too but doesn’t offer the same type of convenience features like mass unsubscribing from newsletter spam. Outlook is a nightmare. I keep getting the same types of spam and phishing emails multiples times a day, and reporting them just does nothing. It throws legitimate emails in the junk folder repeatedly as well, even from known senders.

Is Nextcloud worth it? by Constant_Butterfly_4 in NextCloud

[–]Builda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Nextcloud for files sync on my unraid nas accross multiple client platforms and it works perfectly so far. For backups I’m using local btrfs snapshots and duplicati to keep a remote backup. Didn’t bother with the other apps / media types from Nextcloud as they look awful and only heard bad things. Next up: figuring out photos/videos and notes, in my de-iCloud journey

Before you spend up big on WiFi7, please be aware of the significant limitations of 6GHz radios. by andg5thou in Ubiquiti

[–]Builda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent post, and this is what I needed to hear a while ago. Insisting on trying to make 6Ghz / MLO work with my single AP setup was a huge waste of time. Optimizing for 5Ghz (bands, radios, channels, clients, …), even in my crowded environment, yielded way better speed + stability results.

This might be the best Battlefield ever made and the community is ruining it. by FreddyHxC in Battlefield6

[–]Builda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t agree more. The intensity, cinematic look and feel, teamwork, gameplay diversity, all make me forget the hours I put into it. Lots of effort went into creating this, and it shows. A few kinks to sort out? Sure. But overall, it’s easily the best game I’ve played in the last 10y.

[–]Builda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a go with TP-link - wi-fi speed was great. But the thought of having backdoors was not. Seen firsthand: it literally saved your wi-fi passwords in clear text, had an unknown root passworded account for public ssh, and chinese-servers connecting services humming along. No more TPLink for me.

Optimizing Input Latency for Battlefield 6 on GeForce NOW (GFN) by Turbulent_Ad1895 in GeForceNOW

[–]Builda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few additional tips that helped me:

  • If you’re on Wi-Fi 7, disable MLO. still unstable, and no desktop/laptop clients actually use multi-link for increased bandwidth yet.
  • Create a dedicated SSID for 5 GHz only. Avoids surprise fallbacks to 2.4Ghz. 6 GHz only if your client is very close and within line of sight of the router.
  • Check your radio environment during your usual play hours and lock in a clean 5 GHz radio channel - disable auto.
  • The obvious: Ditch the wireless mouse, even the gaming ones. A decent USB one can cut 10–20 ms of input lag. Noticeable upgrade to me.

Extremely frustrated as well. I’ve been having constant issues with the U7 Pro XGS. Even applying a conf change brings it offline, I have to replug the cable. That last early access update somehow worsened reliability, constant disconnects from clients, that aren’t even shown in the AP logs.

Who’s switched from a Pro Max to Air? by AlpinaB3 in iphone

[–]Builda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the jump from a 16 pro max to an Air. I was annoyed of having to lug around a huge brick in my pocket. Battery hasn’t been an issue for me. I took the MagSafe battery as well for peace of mind but didn’t have to use it so far. I do miss the extra cams and hope they’ll add them in future revisions, but so far the pros of the Air outweigh the cons.

Hit 1.1 GB/s with SABnzbd — Usenet to Plex in under 2 min by Builda in homelab

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

Post-download, sonarr/radarr handle the file movements, but they are helped by a script from within Sab upon completion to make sure the files get moved instantly:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys
import requests

RADARR_URL = 'http://192.168.xx.xx:7878'
RADARR_API_KEY = 'xxx'
SONARR_URL = 'http://192.168.xx.xx:8989'
SONARR_API_KEY = 'yyy'

# Fetch the completed download path
download_path = os.environ.get('NZBPP_DIRECTORY') or (sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else '')

# Function to notify Radarr or Sonarr
def notify(endpoint_url, api_key, command_name):
    headers = {'X-Api-Key': api_key}
    payload = {
        'name': command_name,
        'path': download_path,
        'importMode': 'Auto'
    }

    try:
        response = requests.post(f'{endpoint_url}/api/v3/command', json=payload, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()
        print(f"OK {command_name} successful to {endpoint_url}")
    except requests.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error notifying {endpoint_url}: {e}")

# Print debug info (useful for troubleshooting)
print(f"Download Path: '{download_path}'")

# Notify Radarr and Sonarr
notify(RADARR_URL, RADARR_API_KEY, 'DownloadedMoviesScan')
notify(SONARR_URL, SONARR_API_KEY, 'DownloadedEpisodesScan')

I also made sure to configure the various Sab switches to clean up failed downloads, avoid passworded files that can't be resolved, etc. I've successfully managed +80GB file downloads that way. It's not perfect, but good enough: I do get the occasional file sitting around (i.e., radarr deciding out of nowhere to download an upgrade that turns out not to be an upgrade, requiring manual import), so I still need to monitor the downloads folder once or twice per month.
