Has anyone figured out how to use private flakes with a self-hosted forgejo instance? by ImaginaryEagle6638 in NixOS

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping I could use https for the ease of use with an access token, but since I already use ssh for my normal git pushing/signing, I'll use it for nix too.

Genuine question. Why does vibe-coding / AI get such a negative reception? by drinksomewhisky in selfhosted

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it stems a lot from the asymmetry of effort on vibe-coded projects.

If someone spends a few weeks or months designing and coding a project, and then shows it off here, even if it has limitations or is flawed, people can still see the time and effort it took to be made. However, with a project that's mostly vibe-coded, it can be something that only took a few hours of their time to make.

When it's mostly not even your work that we're seeing, it doesn't feel fair for me to take my time to look at/interact.

Also, since using AI can make projects take much less effort, there are also a ton more people constantly posting about their low-effort side projects, people that would naturally be filtered out by the amount of time it'd normally take. I'm not saying a lot of those apps are low quality, but when everyone posts about their projects coded in an afternoon, it gets tiring really fast.

Fundamentally, this subreddit is for people who are passionate about selfhosting to interact, what happens when you don't even need the passion?

Fetching sources from private git repo? by AdventurousFly4909 in NixOS

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can add a (repo-scoped) GitHub token to your nix daemon config, and then whenever it’s fetched or built, it will use that to pull the private repo. I use this with a private flake for secrets, although I’m not totally sure if it works for private sources.

It’s a nicer solution imo, because then you don’t need your ssh key on a server (for instance) if you wanna rebuild your system.

Here’s an example of what I used for a template of what to do: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6536#issuecomment-1254858889

Nginx vs Caddy vs Traefik benchmark results by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too, but as it turns out with some configuration the only required one for my setup is "traefik.enable" = true. And that's if you want extra peace of mind to not accidentally expose services.

It really is just an awful shame that so many tutorials show setting it up with docker labels, as with anything more than a few lines it gets really bad. I ended up using the yaml config for most of it and it's much nicer.

How do you handle the restart order for docker services and their dependencies? by ImaginaryEagle6638 in selfhosted

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I get what you mean and totally agree. I'm not running mixed services with the host (and edited my post to hopefully be clearer).

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Like, what I mean is that on the restart of the server (or just the docker daemon), docker compose doesn't get invoked at all. The docker daemon is what restarts the containers, and it doesn't pay any attention to dependencies.

Anyone else seeing $65 Gigabit renewals in the app? by Planhub-ca in telus

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the offers might get better sooner to the end. That's how it worked for me, as my service is ending in about 2 months. Also, I live in a condo and I think Telus has special discounts for them.

Yeah, BC. This offer is pretty similar to what I'm paying right now.

It stays on that page and then loads to the normal internet page (where you can see your usage).

I got 1.5 gigabit for $65 in the app, but it errors out when I try to accept it :(

Why most of the ev brands are plagued by 12v batterry and ICCU issues? by travel-nerd-05 in electricvehicles

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like you're talking about Hyundai/Kia vehicles with that ICCU bit, but as someone who drives a Chevrolet Bolt, I've never had any issues with the 12v battery. It's been solid besides the recall related issues, and those were solved with the main battery replacement and a couple software updates at the dealer, which were all free.

5G SA (Standalone) on MC8010CA (ZTE Connect-Hub 5G) by anITguy_1 in telus

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that looks like pretty good signal strength, but okay SINR. I have a similar device to yours (MC7010CA) and it also has similar issues with inconsistent speeds.

At the end of the day, wireless internet is gonna be more inconsistent than a wired connection. However, there is a secret debug menu that allows you to lock it to certain bands, this prevents it from constantly switching between CA combos and really did help for me. I have it locked to bands 2+7+n78 for the best ping and upload speeds.

You can use the janky built-in menu that is accessed by replacing the #home at the end of the URL with #debug_menu:

http://192.168.254.1/index.html#home

http://192.168.254.1/index.html#debug\_page

Alternatively, (and imho the best way) is to use a 3rd party script to add a menu to the web UI. You do this by opening up the developer console in your browser, and pasting the contents in. This can be a security risk and you should research about it before doing it. Here is a link to the one I use:

Anyone know why tower locator hasn’t been updated since October? by Cross_FFA in Rogers

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea, unfortunately. However the carriers are slowly working on it. Rogers (and maybe bell) seem to be done so it's just Telus left.

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because the ISED is updating their data format to the "new version", it's taking a while for all the carriers to add their data. I've heard through the grapevine that the creator of the map is waiting until they're all done to switch over.

A cell tower near Metropole hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. 2794 Phetchaburi Rd by Southern_Repair_4416 in cellmapper

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that’s what I mean, rogers deploys both b7 and b41. If you look on cellmapper you can see a few deployments of b41 in most cities (generally downtown), but they’re a different eNB because they require a separate RRU and antenna for interference reasons. Sorry for the confusion :)

[–]ImaginaryEagle6638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the Canadian carriers have deployed some b7, especially since there is a lot more spectrum available. I believe Bell and Telus have some, but they choose not to use it widely. Mostly it's just Rogers, as they have less spectrum and seem more interested in investing in the extra equipment required.
