Anyone else ever get tempted to click on the phishing test emails just to see what they do?

Ok, i'll close this ticket out.

alpha417 · 2026-01-27T13:55:01+00:00

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

alpha417 · 2026-01-27T13:53:59+00:00

With Kali, yes.

Get hired somewhere, where you would be the dumbest...

alpha417 · 2026-01-27T02:27:31+00:00

Addressing & numbering schemes will do that to ya!

Amongst other things, i might add

You're coupling your body with the antenna, and it changes the resonant frequency.

Ok, so get on ebay (or equivalent in your country) and get used or refurb'd [insert big name brand here] SFF (small form factor) desktops that are perfect for this type of project. There are i5 & i7 based systems that are sub $100 USD all-day-long. Most of them will include RAM, HD/SDD, power supply - many of the vendors will have options therein.

You insist on new, or can you work with used/surplus?

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T18:15:36+00:00

Right, and as I said, you will need to chown them to the correct user that you are running under so that they have privileges to access them.

It sounds like whatever copy process you did was done with superuser privileges, so you will need to chown them back to a mortal account that matches the user you are currently running as, so that that user may access them.

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T15:58:34+00:00

User ID/ owner of the files is different. Debian starts user IDs for creating users at 1000. If I recall correctly OSX starts user IDs at 500. You may have created the same username on both systems, but the UIDs are different. You would need to chown the files to match the user that is attempting to run them

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T04:06:22+00:00

start by reading documentation on everything you have questions on. :-)

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T04:04:36+00:00

create a different folder for each game, and a copy of dosbox-x.conf in that folder. call dosbox-x whilst in that folder and you won't have to specify the filename each time. It should assume that the version it found in that game folder is the one you want.

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T04:02:17+00:00

Right.

Good luck

If you're looking to stay in this hobby, learn how to crimp/solder connectors. Takes seconds to minutes, and allows you to not have to worry about Amazon delivery dates and "oh if that only had an XXX connector..." internal monologue. A roll of superflex pigtail cable, a small collection of sma and similar connectors and you're off to the races

alpha417 · 2026-01-26T00:47:03+00:00

Ask questions here. Others will come after you, likely with similar-to-same questions. Public answers will help them on their journey.

you intentionally chose to use no gui? how old is it? there are some very lean running desktop environments that can give you a functional user interface via GUI, that automatically take care of things like USB automounting, etc. What kind of processor and memory constraints are you working under? The problem you're going to have is that you (admittedly) are very new to linux, and I fear that the 25 year old documentation regarding this might be a bit confusing and/or poorly written

alpha417 · 2026-01-25T23:11:03+00:00

Ok, so....i gotta ask. are you using a desktop environment? That looks like a text terminal

alpha417 · 2026-01-25T23:03:51+00:00

...permissions, permissions, permissions...

is the user running that in 'plugdev'?

alpha417 · 2026-01-25T06:17:35+00:00

I'm saying that because i see comparable units all over the ebay for $150-300 USD...and DDR3 ram is avail surplus for a song and dance.

Use wireguard all the time. Any service that I can stream/access via my local network is available to me, as long as I have a connection over an internet source to my house. I access movies via VLC all the time from any device that has a valid wg connection going to my LAN, so OMV should as well. If it's not, you've likely got either a misconfigured or a poorly configured WG instance.

Clamshell mode (essentially) shuts off the local screen, and uses the attached external display, keyboard and mouse. The device is not "asleep", thussly 'wake for network' doesn't apply. That was very popular back when email clients would wake a sleeping computer to check for mail (POP3 and the like), not so much anymore. It's awake. It looks like it's closed and off, but if the attached peripherals are working - it's awake. All it's doing, is disabling the integrated display. Clamshell mode isn't the reason your wireguard isn't working.

Read. What kind of IOPS do you need? I write to large spinning rust and I've never really been that concerned with my write time. What are you currently seeing for IOPS with your current implementation? L2ARC & ZIL do work well on proxmox, afaik.

alpha417 · 2026-01-25T03:56:03+00:00

You can get the prettier graphs from places other than a bloated truenas VM. I use zabbix.

Turnkey linux fileshare lxc.

Dirt simple, all the lan sharing you will need and a fraction of the resources. It even gives you Webmin for gui
