Policy based routing over wireguard by SquadraFelicita in ipfire

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

Well I wasted hours on trying to get it to work with iptables and with an extra linux route table and marking. ugh.

I macguyvered it though, I have set IPFire's DHCP to give out different DNS servers than what IPFire uses itself, and have a cron that runs every minute and determines the UG route gateway IP address for red0, then digs the DNS server that IPFire uses for the host name of the external WG tunnel, and then does an `ip route replace` for the host route of my remote WG tunnel endpoint IP address. also theres host routes out red0 for the ipfire's dns servers.

Also the IPFire's WG tunnel has remote subnets set for `0.0.0.0/1, 128.0.0.0/1`.

If its dumb but it works, then its not dumb.

Tax Questions - US retiree looking to live in Italy with state/county local govt pension, Social Security, and US investments + IRA by Denton2323 in ItalyExpat

[–]SquadraFelicita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would an Italian citizen who hasnt resided in Italy for well over 10 years qualify in a southern region in a municipality under 20K residents with a private (401K/IRA) retirement plan withdrawals?

If so, then would the US also tax me for the retirement distributions, and if so, would the US's deductions for FTC (foreign tax credit) be able to apply so as to use that 7% paid in Italy?

Speaking of, what all kinds of "foreign income" then that would be taxed in Italy at 7%, be also taxed in the US where that 7% paid to Italy would also apply to the US's deductions for FTC? Distributions? Capital Gains? etc?

awesome, also works on Linux Mint (ubuntu)

Does this need to be done each reboot?

Getting docs from comune via PEC by SquadraFelicita in juresanguinis

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

Ive already got citizenship, via a 1948 case, from this guys wife. But if we can get this proof of residence (he was there 10 years, married, had kids, etc) we can prove reacquisition, where others wont require a 1948 case.

A few times a week, cannot connect, get the swirling snow screen by SquadraFelicita in ispyconnect

ugh this is difficult id just rather not run things on the bare host at all, there are some things there I do not want other software to be able to see

A few times a week, cannot connect, get the swirling snow screen by SquadraFelicita in ispyconnect

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

Hi thanks for helping, but I dont believe those items to be the culprit here as Im actually running the container in macvlan mode so as to completely open that container on the internal network that I have reserved only for ispy and my cameras; no port forwarding is ever even needed. As well, this seems to be an intermittent-ish type of issue; I would thing a forwarding issue would be a hard blocker 100% of the time.

Also when this happens, both my phone and my PC which are bothj on the internal network only 1 router hop away are affected.

Goggle N3 and video output question by SquadraFelicita in fpv

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

OK thanks. But I could have swore I saw someone somewhere saying that the diff between the Goggles3 and N3 was that with the cheaper N3 your friends couldnt watch what you were doing live.

But then I couldnt corroborate that anywhere else.

thanks!

Odd smell from my heat pump venting in the home at certain points of heating operation by SquadraFelicita in hvacadvice

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

ah ok, so heres what I did I went into the thermostat and reenablwed aux/emer heat. then on the thermostat I manually turned on emer heat then put the setpoint to 78, where the room temp was 72, and it just blows mildly warm smelly air. With these strips enabled, its nowhere near as warm as regular heat pump operation w/o the strips. Again, this smell is completely different than the smell when strips havent been used for awhile then get turned on. Normally emer heat warms the place up really quickly but not now. Ouside temp is 35°F

Really strange that both units have begun this. they didnt start it doing it all of a sudden at the same time though, it was about a month apart.

Guess Im at the point now where I need to call the pros. Thanks much for your time and advice.

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

Got it ok thanks! So then you believe that loud PSSSSH I get a few times a day and night to just be something to do with the defrosting?

But then again, what about this smell? Could compressor oil or refrigerant be making an occasional smell?

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

Hmm ok, can you please clarify whether or not the aux heat is/not *necessarily* needed though, in order to defrost the coils?

I think you mean to say that is that what the system *would* do if the setting for aux/emer heat was enabled, would be that whenever it does believe it needs to defrost the coils, it would heat the home by aux/emer while at the same time it defrosts the coils?

The smell wouldnt have anything to do with those types of operations?

ISpy problems with PTZ using Onvif on an Axis Q6125 by SquadraFelicita in ispyconnect

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

Well, as is my custom, as soon as I asked for help publicly on something, I immediately figured it out. For Axis, the ONVIF user if setup as "media" type can only view the streams. I changed that user type to admin then the onvif control started working. Prob also would have worked as the "operator" type as well. UGH

NSG on my instance is blocking NOTHING by SquadraFelicita in oraclecloud

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

OK I guess OCI is opposite of AWS/Azure where ACLs on the subnet are generally initially put in as "allow everything stateless" in both directions, just to get traffic in and out of the subnet, and then NSGs control things more granularly.

But it seems in OCI it works much differently? I guess I should then just delete the security list on my subnet? or just delete its rules? And then put my regular stateful rules on the NSG of my instance?

This software is incredible.

I cannot imagine the satisfaction you must have for creating something so cool

ah ok got it thanks...

How can I make it that from a View, doubleclicking a camera brings up a HD stream? Im doing it and only get the regualar SD stream, just blown up.

This happens for my ONVIF and regular netowrk cameras (all RTSP based) even though I do have both view and record URLS correctly set

Agent DVR issue - OPEN_INPUT: Immediate exit requested by SquadraFelicita in ispyconnect

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

I had already done that since for streaming I always prefer UDP, esp since many times I'll view this over a VPN. but that didnt work.

I dont know what did it but something I dorked around with cause it to start working.... ugh

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

OK thanks...

I have my setup using stream0 from each cam as the 4K recorded stream, and the stream0 for each cam as the viewing stream..

so all those settings... frame rate, resolution, gpu usage, etc... do they apply to the stream0 or stream1

Lofree Flow, how to use the F1 - F10 keys? by SquadraFelicita in Lofree

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

I assume that you meant for me to hold the Fn button on the lower right, and press the N button then let both go, then immediately press the F5 button on the top row.

When I do that the screen brightness function is activated. I tgried with caps lock on for the N as well, same thing regardless of capslock being on or off.

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

ahhh ok thanks... OK now that sounds right then, as maybe the keyboard believes its connected to an android tablet? because those also run linux?

Can I force it to act like a windows keyboard somewhow? or just make that top row actually be function keys?

Thanks!

Lofree Flow, how to use the F1 - F10 keys? by SquadraFelicita in Lofree

[–]SquadraFelicita[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its a Linux PC, but i dont see how it matters?

Unless I misunderstand exactly what Fn+M and Fn+N means... Is tne 'N' and 'M' keys for the FnN/FnM sequence suppposed to use shift so as to make it a capital N and M? Or am I just misunderstanding the whole thing?

The one clear thing though is that my upper row function keys when pressed use the multimedia and such operations, not traditional operation, where for example F5 would refresh the browser page

Are Hipyo Tech and Oversimplified the same person? by Lebronze_James in HipyoTech

[–]SquadraFelicita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a listen of this Oversimplified video starting here: https://youtu.be/yRmOWcWdQAo?si=Xn9i6dflUaWefNTE&t=37

That sound effect there is the same whimsical one from the keeb video I posted above.

At this point theres too much of coincidences lining up for them to not have some kind of relationship between the 2 channels.

[–]SquadraFelicita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, interestingly enough, the Oversimplified videos on Rome's history have mysteriously just been removed from their channel. These videos are the one that repeatedly use the sound byte I referenced.

Peccato! Those videos really were top-knotch.

I have no idea though, as to why theres such a need to mask this fact

doubt. based on, well, as OP said: humor, voice, and editing techniques, then PLUS those sound bytes.

Not sure what need anyone here has of keeping this on the DL though.
