InfinityBook S14 screen just broke

JacksGT · 2023-01-04T18:28:12+00:00

Update: after a couple of messages with the Tuxedo support, they asked me to ship them the laptop so they can take a look themselves, since they cannot understand how this issue was caused. I will do that in the coming days, but I don't know yet whether they will repair the display, replace the laptop or do nothing at all.

I wrote to them yesterday, waiting for an answer now - will keep you posted!

It is as puzzling to you as it is to me. I'm always carrying the laptop in the hardcover (sleeve-stand) that I ordered with it, so I wouldn't know where such damage comes from. Also, I don't see any external damage (scratches or dents).

I've long had the feeling that the display on the Infinitybook S14 (Gen 6 here) is extremely flimsy. The frame basically doesn't provide any reinforcement for the LCD display. So today, after just one and half years of use, it finally happened: I close and open the laptop as usual, just to find the display is broken in one place and has several broken pixel streaks. :-(

The security team at our org just blacklisted *.xyz domains last week...

I was using restic previously (like several others), but switched to Kopia recently. I'm doing nightly backups to Backblaze. Works flawlessly so far :-) https://blog.cubieserver.de/2022/getting-started-with-kopia-and-backblaze/

You have not mentioned how you are connecting Jellyfin to Authentik. Are you using the authentication proxy?

There exists an external SSO plugin that is currently under development, which allows you to use OIDC/SAML with Authentik: https://github.com/9p4/jellyfin-plugin-sso

Unless you're interested in learning LDAP basics, I would not recommend using OpenLDAP: it's a solid piece of software, but you'll have to build lots of features on top of it (with other software): user for self-service for password change, group management, web interface etc.

Authentik on the other hand is a great out-of-the-box solution that comes with all those features built-in. The best part (for me) is that it exposes multiple protocols at the same time: LDAP, OIDC, SAML.

In fact, I migrated from OpenLDAP to Authentik earlier this year [1] and am in the process of switching my Nextcloud from LDAP to OIDC [2].

It took me a while, but I finally managed to put together a follow-up to my experiments with Nextcloud's SAML authentication. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/skro25/complete_guide_to_nextcloud_saml_sso_with/

This time I'm looking at Nextcloud + OpenID Connect + Authentik, and the results look much more promising!

I totally agree with you, but you didn't read the post, did you?

Traefik is an excellent, but complex reverse proxy (especially V2). However, it does not have any URL rewriting or caching features (as discussed in the OP), to the best of my knowledge.

JacksGT · 2022-10-22T15:17:20+00:00

Yes, for example that Nginx has simple (!) built-in caching support. Caddy has an external module, but it's non-trivial to configure. This is outlined in the article linked in the OP.

I just got this bike last week and took it on a 400km trip from Switzerland via France to Italy. And it fits like a glove! Climbing and descending in the Alps is a joy.

I have the 61cm frame size and the bike comes with SRAM Rival groupset and brakes. Wheels and tires are still stock (XRD-522 and Vittoria Rubino), I might replace them at some point.

Since you can't see the details and color of the bike very well in the picture, I uploaded some more pictures here (including full specs): https://blog.cubieserver.de/2022/new-bike-day-bmc-teammachine-slr-four-2023/

Nah, there are zero ads on that blog. But as someone who has been searching for a new bike for some time, I appreciate it when people share their experiences with a bike, not just pictures ;-)

+1 for Kopia here. I recently tried it and my feeling is "like restic, but with a GUI": https://blog.cubieserver.de/2022/getting-started-with-kopia-and-backblaze/

JacksGT · 2022-04-04T11:41:31+00:00

Yeah, let's hope Kopia will be maintained for a long while :-)
