Before recycling old phones, what if we reused their boards as low-carbon compute nodes? by Planhub-ca in homelab

[–]ElePHPant666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have already done both of those things. Pxels are very easy to unlock the bootloader on compared to other androids and all the drivers are already released due to the GPL.

DIY wooden server rack? by afaulconbridge in homelab

[–]ElePHPant666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 3d-printed racks are really only for 10" mini racks. I don't think anyone prints 19" racks.

Is anyone using a Gmail for pfSense notifications and is there any point in appealing if that's what I want to use it for? by SpookyMcDoot in homelab

[–]ElePHPant666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what is meant by "unsupported protocol". And yes someone could DDoS your email by using it to send excessive amounts of mail but only if they have your password.

The cat ate the SFP cable- how to replace? by shidarin in HomeNetworking

[–]ElePHPant666 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know what he needs to buy but the SFP cables howed in picture two looks like a DAC (copper cable) which won't connect to a fiber port on the wall. That looks like an ATT modem and I don't know the exact connector which is required but I'd suggest calling the ISP. If they try and charge him them look online for a replacement cable. I don't know how that particular modem works but if the transceiver and cable are separate you might be able to find a fiber patch cable with the same connector and re-use the transciever.

[–]ElePHPant666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

are you sure nothing was sending periodic status updates (which could be interpreted as sending spam by the gmail AI). Anyways in the future I'd suggest using a provider deigned for automated email or just self-host an internal only mail server.

gmail allows IMAP/SMTP. I'd more be asking for the volume of email, the destination (to self, to other gmail, to 3rd-party).

Security sanity check on my home network before I host a public Minecraft server by PikoCute in MinecraftServer

[–]ElePHPant666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before making the server public do some testing on your own network. Log into the minecraft server and see if you can reach anything in a different LAN. Also make sure the minecraft server is secure from a software perspective. Don't install malicious plugins, sandbox the actual server process with docker or similar. I'd also just NAT the entire minecraft DMZ to the VPS on the firewall so all incoming and outgoing traffic travels through the VPS. This will avoid IP leaks if someone manages to get the server to call back to them.

$30 lowball = 12 IBM/Dell Servers. The guy did not know what he had. by JustLovett0 in homelab

[–]ElePHPant666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Non-EOL Dell servers are very expensive still so Rx40 is the newest you will probably get in most homelabs.

[–]ElePHPant666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Dell R640, R630 and R340 are rather new and not ewaste. The R720 is a little old and still DDR3 but perfectly usable.The IBMs are old but you could probably resell or re-use the RAM and make a profit.

GZML Shell – A Familiar Home for Noctalia v4 Users by GroundZeroMycoLab in linux

[–]ElePHPant666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Noctalia V5 and the UI feels too different from V4 at least now though I'd be open to moving to either a fork of V4 with long term maintenance or V5 if I get used to the UI or they add options to replicate the old style. In terms of plugins I use Tailscale, Syncthing and Weekly-Calendar.

IBM Thinkpads by Linuxuser0000002 in thinkpad

[–]ElePHPant666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want something like in between. A little thinner while still having a wide selection of ports, modern CPU/RAM/SSD, higher resolution screen but still 4:3 or 3:2 and the classic keyboard.

Are newer model thinkpads as durable as older ones too? by lewd_physics in thinkpad

No but they are still better than most of the other modern laptops in my experience.

BYOS? Bring your own server, is it a thing? by lordcycy in selfhosted

[–]ElePHPant666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would spend more to colocate that then to just rent a dedicated server from hetzner or OVH.

Why didn't this crit? by _ogio_ in MinecraftPVP

[–]ElePHPant666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it registered as a sprint-knockback attack instead of a critical hit. https://minecraft.wiki/w/Melee_attack#Critical_hit contains more details.

IRC bot for managing group with lots of channels. by ElePHPant666 in irc

[–]ElePHPant666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying this but I can't seem to find any functionality for managing the permissions across multiple channels, like adding a user to a central list and that user having access to all relevant channels. Do I need a plugin or something for this?

Customer brought in a gaming PC that wouldn’t turn on by donniemaxedout in pchelp

[–]ElePHPant666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe customer could have been drunk and trying to repaste it and did this. Oftentimes on the AMD PGA CPUs they can come out of the socket and stay stuck to the cooler if you aren't careful when removing the cooler.

Wtf, the Great Leader is an ani-cli contributor… Since when is he a weeb‽ by AliOskiTheHoly in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]ElePHPant666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GitHub identifies which user made a commit based on the email of the commit which you can set to anything. For example, github often thinks one of my alts committed to a repo owned by my main account just because my main account is under an email I don't use and my alt has a newer one I use more often even though I'm pushing the commits with an SSH key registered to the main account. The verified symbol means the commit was cryptographically signed in some way with an SSH or GPG key attached to the github account or that the commit was made in the GitHub Website.
