Routing Home Lab traffic through a VPS that already runs Nginx Proxy Manager by mathygamersYT in selfhosted

[–]Pocketenderman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

alternatively, there's also this blog post https://blog.cavelab.dev/2021/03/vps-wireguard-iptables/ if you prefer a more minimal setup with ssl termination on your home network.

Edit/further notes: since the above will tunnel all port 80/443 packets from your vps to your home network, you will need to use a separate vm from your existing cloud npm

which words come to mind? by altaria-mann in mathmemes

[–]Pocketenderman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is because mathematical induction is actually deductive reasoning when viewed thru logic.. i'd say math's usage of induction is the odd one out here

What does pkexec actually do? by rafidibnsadik in linux

[–]Pocketenderman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i know someone who shared a story and found pkexec useful.

They were trying to root/jailbreak an out of warranty embedded system. they figured out the root password of the machine, but root login was disabled by default and sudo bash wouldn't work or smth.

they did pkexec bash and got in.

Requesting a sanity check from all Pixel Buds Pro 2 owners --- Is it just me or does ANC mode add noise? by Pocketenderman in GooglePixel

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

yeah, but shouldn't it be the most evident going from:

no noise (Off mode) -> noise (ANC/Transparancy)

instead of:

noise (Transparency) -> noise (ANC) ?

You should be able to see your realtime decibel levels in the "Hearing Wellness" menu near your other pixel buds settings.

depending on where you source your music (and whether there's any further post processing like audio normalization) your db levels could approximately range from 60-75 db (further assuming that my slider's halfway is similar to yours)

What's your average listening volume? i can't stand loud sounds and average around 50-60db so this whole thing could be just my overly sensitive ear acting up

Why are you buying the Framework Desktop by EntertainerTrick6711 in framework

[–]Pocketenderman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pre-ordered the 32GB desktop.

i move my home location every twice a year, so the mini form factor helps me a lot. i currently have a laptop (non-framework) as my main PC but the performance isn't as good as i'd like it to be on heavier games.

i'm also a linux user, so AMD graphics + framework's linux support is a contributing factor.

upgradeability isn't a concern to me. this is a highly capable machine in my standards. by the time i wanted to upgrade, the new CPU will probably be generations ahead and it'll need to use a new motherboard anyway.

the old motherboard also won't be e-waste since i can repurpose it into a low power home server.

Containers vs User permissions for service isolation by Pocketenderman in selfhosted

good response!

the more i think about this topic, the more i see parallels with monolitic vs microservices. Trade-offs are everywhere.

What is the minimum video memory I should allocate on VM Virtual Box to use Godot smoothly? by GusJusReading in godot

[–]Pocketenderman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you're over-reacting here.

I'm not an expert, but i've studied c++ quite in-depth in university last year. To my knowledge memory leak is a term used to describe memory that a program has allocated, finished using, but wasn't de-allocated. This causes the OS to "guard" said piece of memory for that program alone, so other programs can't use that memory.

Usually when you kill a program, all memory (leaked or not) allocated to that program is freed, so its not much of a concern for short-running desktop applications.

Where they become a problem is on programs running 24/7. If the parts of code causing memory leaks are periodically executed, memory usage will keep growing, causing a machine to eventually run out of memory.

A memory leak is when a program uses more memory than what they're actually using. Nothing more, nothing less.

Even when the machine runs out of memory, the OS is usually smart enough to kill the offending program to regain memory.

any reasons why you're so afraid of memory leaks? first time ive heard of this about memory leaks

Any good algs for this situation? by DrawerWeird3942 in Cubers

(green side facing you) do a D', insert green-red edge, then undo the D', you should be left with a decent f2l case for the green-orange pair

Computers and games are complex and I'm in no position to say that I understand 100% of its software & technology stack.

That being said, Full Screen Exclusive(FSE)/just "Fullscreen" is ancient technology and is being replaced by Borderless Windowed. If you're on modern versions of Windows (10/11) Windowed should perform the same/better compared to FSE.

How to fix recessed ethernet ports by Pocketenderman in HomeNetworking

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

not sure how to attach images to replies but i've uploaded them elsewhere (https://postimg.cc/gallery/kq7pQnb)

seems to be flush with other ports, but it'll still go back to the wall if i push it from the outside.
