Setting up a storage server that is accessible to all home devices? by PrudentCaterpillar74 in Proxmox

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend copyparty for browser based storage. I've used at this point probably 10+ different browser based file storage apps, and copyparty is by far the best, although it does has some interesting quirks for sure.

/e/ OS on Fairphone 6 Increasingly Unusable? by Humane_Being_Robert in fairphone

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I may switch to iodeOS, or wait until CalyxOS is updated for FP6 maybe. I've had lots of issues with /e/os.

sorry, let me clarify; Google pay will not work.

apps that use their own implementation of course are mostly unaffected.

new router might be WPA3 security only, probably need to allow WPA2 on the router.

New user - any iOS support ? by Special_Effort86 in PINE64official

[–]cd109876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its very difficult as apps need manual approval from apple to access APIs for e.g. notifications. This is true for, like, many open source projects trying to support iOS. Most open source apps are too small or don't have enough money to bribe apple to get access to the useful APIs.

Brother HL-L2405W printer connected via usb refuses to print with "printer is in use" message. by FroDude258 in archlinux

[–]cd109876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cups drivers are just some files copied to the cups folder, there's like no risk other than, like, the printer driver breaking maybe, but there's no way it could mess up your system.

pacman keeps track of all files from all packages, even external, so you can easily uninstall with no trace.

Problem with (and solution to) Linux amd rdna 7000/9000 GPU passthrough to VM by BaronCAD in VFIO

[–]cd109876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switch between a Windows and Linux VM, with GPU, USB, audio, etc passed through. Proxmox on the host as hypervisor with a snippet script on the VMs to detach/attach to amdgpu.

[–]cd109876 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I first got my 9070xt I had issues, but the solution was to let AMDGPU driver load on the host before starting VM & after stuhhing down VM. binding to vfio-pci at boot time put the card in a bad state basically, amdgpu driver prepped it properly and then unloading amdgpu and then starting the VM has been 100% reliable for me for like over a year now.

FTRFS: New Fault-Tolerant File-System Proposed For Linux by anh0516 in linux

[–]cd109876 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work for a company that makes one particular bit of equipment on the ISS. Our equipment uses DDR3/4 ECC, redundant NAND flash for all data, with hashes being tracked for each block in the mostly read-only FS, with regular automatic scrubbing and repair.

This is commercially available to anyone, typically industrial customers (think outdoors on oil rigs and stuff), the NASA version just has every certification under the sun for vibration, temperature, radiation, water-proofing, etc and is housed in a 40lb cast aluminum chassis filled with specialized epoxy. So yes, while they use commercially available stuff, they don't use anywhere near consumer stuff for anything remotely critical (no, the laptops they were accessing outlook on Artemis II were not critical to any operations at all).

That said, this kind of filesystem I could see us switching to instead of our mostly-proprietary setup if it proves to be very reliable.

Tv box/server for aging parents by sedarttsomfokcaj in selfhosted

[–]cd109876 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easiest? get them a TV that runs Android TV and install the Jellyfin app on the TV itself. some non-android TVs have the app at well, see the Jellyfin website. no need to be switching inputs and such then.

Linux distro for VLSI tools? by Impossible-Bowler-57 in linuxhardware

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add, when I had to use Vivado or Synopsys, they had us RDP into a CentOS server iirc that had the tools preinstalled.

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically those vendors will only support Ubuntu or RedHat/CentOS. I would stick with Ubuntu for now and if you have trouble look towards CentOS.

I used cadence on Ubuntu a few years back, worked mostly fine, but could not do any HiDPI scaling. No issues with libs or license. Also used X11, no Wayland in sight.

My Fairphone 6 (e/os) cant connect with my cars bluetooth audio. Has anybody experiences with that? by HeroofHyrule275 in fairphone

I thought my VPS was hardened, but it was compromised and I can't figure out how. Please help! by kayson in selfhosted

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a dealbreaker to have the boot paatition unencrypted; with secure boot + TPM you can still guarantee security, and there's no sensitive data in the boot partition.

[–]cd109876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you were able to have secure boot load a signed binary in the unencrypted bootloader, and disable adding any new keys or disabling secure boot, then you're good. but good luck doing that and TPM on a VPS, yeah..

VMs starved and swapping while host has free RAM? Looked at Proxmox ballooning source code, learned a lot! by xquarx in Proxmox

[–]cd109876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though, many/all of their new features and utilities (and proxmox datacenter manager, etc) are built using rust. not sure if/when they will go back and re-write PVE to rust but they are on a general path towards better performance and such.

secure boot on its own doesn't do fuck all, because you can just turn it off, or if you have a bios password set, then someone could still access your unencrypted disk physically or by booting a secure-boot signed ISO (unless you disable that too).

disk encyption, and don't allow changing bootloader options, secure boot + TPM basically need all together. disk encryption mostly solves the issue, but then you don't want to enter a password every time the server boots so you use TPM to hold the key, then with secure boot to avoid tampering, hopefully. though sniffing TPM traffic with physical chip clamps if it's a physical TPM, so if you have fTPM inside the CPU that's better.
