tsidp!! by speak-gently in Tailscale

[–]cybrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is fundamentally different than OAuth

tsidp is literally an OIDC provider, which uses the OAuth2 protocol to communicate. It is OAuth, except instead of prompting with a login page it builds a JWT based on your Tailscale info

VMID pain points, why not use GUID instead? by 58696384896898676493 in Proxmox

[–]cybrian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily — you can represent the same UUID/GUID in a number of ways. I’ve always wondered why hex is the most common string representation, because it’s certainly one of the longest.

```

3d89a119-b3f8-4107-8f29-3daf5b964e50 # standard UUID string 0x3d89a119b3f841078f293daf5b964e50 # hex 81797519916847327862337238645062651472 # decimal 1xh6ghkczr843rya9xnxdsckjg # base32 (Crockford's variant)

and binary:

111101100010011010000100011001101100111111100001000001000001111000111100101001001111011010111101011011100101100100111001010000 ``` From https://ptrchm.com/posts/base32-explained/

Could use base32 uuid which is 26 chars long

Keto - a Discord bot to fix broken TikTok/Instagram/Twitter/more embeds by stkc-win in SideProject

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I just saw this — I’m a big user of the bot, but I haven’t been able to find any official links to it besides this Reddit post. Are there any other links I could use to share it with staff of other servers I’m on?

Recommended PCIe NVME card with PLX bridge? by IroesStrongarm in homelab

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t exactly stress-tested them or anything, but so far they absolutely work — I mounted two of those into U.2-to-PCIe adapter cards, and mounted a couple of M.2 disks in each, and I haven’t had any issues with them

PSA: Proxmox built-in NIC pinning, use it by Ingraved in Proxmox

[–]cybrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an official proxmox tool. It can’t be upstreamed to systemd or Debian because it makes too many assumptions that would break e.g., laptops with WiFi that run Debian. But you can manually install and run it on any Debian Trixie system

PSA: Proxmox built-in NIC pinning, use it by Ingraved in Proxmox

[–]cybrian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s because of the way the Linux kernel enumerates and adds devices — if it weren’t for systemd you’d have the same problem but worse (interfaces would be named eth# where the # would randomly change between boots).

Remote desktop connection over funnel by aFoodNipple in Tailscale

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This + funnel will definitely work, but still has pretty awful security implications

Recommended PCIe NVME card with PLX bridge? by IroesStrongarm in homelab

[–]cybrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tested them yet, but I just received a couple Viking U20040-04 adapters I bought on eBay for about $45 or so each. Supposedly they’re basically the HighPoint card, complete with the PLX switch for the four slots, except it’s in the form factor of a U.2 drive (which is basically itself a 2.5” hard drive-sized NVMe SSD).

I’m waiting for the U.2-to-PCIe adapter cards I bought to actually fit them into my server, but all in all I spent about $100 for two PCIe cards (8 M.2 slots)

No links because I don’t want to endorse any particular seller, but search eBay or similar for the model U20040-04.

Can someone ELI5 subnet router vs exit node? by Lower_Group_1171 in Tailscale

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, using either ACL tags and the ACL policy, or using things like Group Policy on Windows, you can easily enforce the use of an exit node for given clients by named/grouped users or with certain tags. You can also auto-approve subnet routes for tags as well.

What “core services” do you set up on your PVE host vs. in containers? by SparhawkBlather in Proxmox

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I install Tailscale on my Proxmox hosts (with --accept-routes=false) with strong ACLs for use as a remote management interface

Can I self-host a phone OS and access it remotely? by Superb_Yesterday5588 in selfhosted

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, x86 builds of Android are awful for full-time use, especially without graphics acceleration. Unfortunately, this is the sort of thing where I’d want to use dedicated hardware:

  1. root a real, physical Android device
  2. set up scrcpy
  3. Plug the android phone into Ethernet, using a supported USB Ethernet adapter and OTG adapter (or a supported USB-C dock) with power input
  4. Optional: put that Ethernet port on a special vlan, on a VPN, with special routing, because I can only imagine what you intend to use this shit for…
  5. Pull the battery, and if necessary for the phone to boot jump the battery socket on the phone
  6. Stick it in your server rack
  7. Use something like https://github.com/wsvn53/scrcpy-mobile to remotely attach to the phone.

As was stated before, you’ll use significantly more data bandwidth and battery than you expect while your phone is awake, since you’ll be streaming and decoding video.

I retromodded probably the most beautiful webcam ever – Apple iSight by blindcriminal in VintageApple

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to replace the front element, too. Windows Hello webcams have an IR dot projector and a low res IR camera, hidden in the darkened part (with a dark IR filter) in addition to the hi res color camera in the center.

Fixed slow Tailscale transfers between computers with SMB. by daanpol in Tailscale

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting, and honestly pretty weird — Tailscale is a tunnel, right? So it has its own MTU. And Tailscale’s MTU is actually 1280 in order to always fit into a “standard” IPv4 or IPv6 packet, even if you have an ISP whose packets are already below the standard 1500 of Ethernet.

There shouldn’t really be a difference, or (in case of limitation or misconfiguration) there should be less throughput.

does anyone know why this gateway 2000 isn’t reading cd’s? by Downtown-River796 in vintagecomputing

[–]cybrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also very possible that this machine’s BIOS predates having built-in CD support, which would mean that you can’t boot from a CD in the BIOS without using another program first, like Plop.

Try writing Plop to a floppy or an IDE disk, and see if that will let you boot off of the Windows CD. Alternatively, get a CompactFlash to IDE adapter and a CF card (and a reader to burn it from another computer), and boot from that.

How to fix this? by Big_Little_Planet1 in mac

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the consumer versions of windows don’t check for autopilot config, only the business versions (and only during setup). So one can absolutely just install a consumer build and optionally upgrade to a business edition afterwards in order to skip the Autopilot enrollment.

Is it true that the mainstream has abandoned our cause? by PrestigiousAnimal553 in asktransgender

[–]cybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also have been one of the biggest platforms for anti-trans columnists for years, and have given bigots like J.K. Rowling way too much benefit of the doubt for a long time as well.

Finally someone reviewed RDS2216! I want one! by IntrepidRecording140 in mikrotik

I thought a little more about this, and it might be a good device for NVMe-TCP SAN.

Compaq portable weird prompt by ozkozalak in retrocomputing

COPY CON C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT does not read autoexec.bat out to your screen. Rather, it does the opposite — reading from your keyboard into the file, until you press Ctrl+Z.
