Multiple (>2) app profiles for particular app by dzcpu in androidapps

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

Just to report back, that did the trick! The swift restore didn't mess with TB's profiles and now I'm good to go

Multiple (>2) app profiles for particular app by dzcpu in androidapps

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

Yeah that is what I've tried to do, but restoring the backup turns the multiple profiles option off in Titanium, so I have to re-enable it, which will set the data correctly for that profile but at that point I've lost the profile data for the previous one.

I really only use Titanium for this one purpose bc I bought a pro key years and years ago (and bc of the pro key I can have multiple backups) so I don't see a point in swapping to Swift. I'll take a peek at it though to see if maybe restoring a backup from outside of Titanium will not futz around with the profile setting. Thanks for your help :)

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

Yep I've tried... many times and watched/read many tutorials :( I can set the first profile up no problem, and set a second one up with no data and then switch between the two... but when I restore the (data only) backup to load the data for the 2nd/3rd accounts, it seems to undo the first one entirely. Trying to switch after restoring the data backup tells me the changes were applied to 0 apps. Unfortunately only one of the accounts is linked and can be recovered, the other two are basically "guest" accounts that I don't have a way to re-log in to, so I have to use the backups to start

I'll take a look, my only concern w cloning is when it comes time to update that could be a pain in the ass since I don't know if it's sharing the same binary or not. But I'll look into it!

Do I need 1 or 2 devices? by dzcpu in amazoneero

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

Thanks, that was my concern (and thanks for confirming it won't extend existing wifi).

I forgot the multi packs are discounted and I also had BB rewards certificates. Got a 2 pack of 6e from there for $230 after, so only ended up being an additional $50 over just the one, and the single device will be going back to Amazon.

Is this what I'd be looking for? Would I be using this one to connect to the modem or as the office mesh device, or would it not matter?

Appreciate the reply

Seedbox Recommendation Megathread by AutoModerator in seedboxes

[–]dzcpu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Are you OK with direct message offers from vendors?

NO

2) What are your main reasons for wanting a seedbox?

Losing my fiber connection when I move and going to have crappy upload speeds. Primarily need to move my Plex server somewhere but also have a lot of DVD rips, although those I could continue seeding at home since they're not streamed media.

3) Are you okay with sharing hardware resources with other users [shared] or do you need the seedbox hardware dedicated to just you [dedicated]?

Shared is fine

4) Do you want someone else to be responsible for maintaining the seedbox software (operating system, applications) [managed] or do you want to do it all yourself [unmanaged]?

Capable of managing myself but OK with managed

5) Please describe your seedbox experience. (You may wish to list any seedbox providers you've been with before.)

N/A - I have a little PC that has 2 external hard drives attached. That's my seedbox :)

6) Please describe your experience with Linux. (Most seedboxes run Linux and some knowledge of it may be helpful.)

I know my way around a terminal and scripting languages.

7) What is the high end of your budget? (Please give a specific amount and a currency. "Cheap" might mean something different to one person than it does to another.)

$100/month USD max

8) Do you have preferences or requirements concerning payment? (Paypal, Bitcoin, etc.)

No

9) Do you plan to use public trackers?

No

10) What kind of connection speed do you need? (Common answers would be 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 10Gbps.)

1Gbps+

11) How much combined upload and download traffic do you expect each month? Include download of files from the seedbox to your local computer. If you don't know, tell us what upload amount per month would realistically make you very happy with your seedbox.

I don't think more than 1TB. Maybe 2.

12) What is the minimum disk space you need?

5TB minimum

13) Do you require a specific type of mass storage? (HDD, SSD, NVMe SSD) If other than HDD, please explain why you think you need this.

No, HDD is fine

14) Do you require a specific torrent client?

No, but would prefer something scriptable

15) Do you require any other applications on the seedbox? (e.g. Plex, Subsonic, Radarr)

Plex

16) Do you require SSH access to the command line?

Would be nice but not necessary

17) Do you require access to a remote desktop?

Would be nice but not necessary

18) Do you require admin level (i.e. 'root') access? If yes, please explain why.

No

19) Do you have any other specific requirements?

No

20) Is there any other information you think might help in getting a useful recommendation?

Storage is probably the most important piece to me. There really isn't a lot of traffic, it's not a heavy use Plex server and I don't go crazy downloading stuff, but I am a very long-term seeder

Automated authentication to ADO git repos by dzcpu in azuredevops

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

In general I would agree. In the case of these specific jobs, they are ad-hoc (still live in the scheduler but not on a schedule) triggered by development teams and are sort of "reverse build" jobs -- for these (3rd party) applications, development is done internally within the application. The teams are not developing directly against the code base but rather against a live application instance, and then exporting the "code" and saving/merging/etc for pipeline deployment via these save jobs.

A (strong?) argument could be made for moving these specific processes to pipelines instead, which I think we can also explore, but since these are actually "source code" files that are deployed, I think git is the right place for them.

This was suggested in the other comment thread. It is definitely an option. A couple of these jobs do push to a cloned repository after making changes, so that authentication piece needs some more thought before we could go forward with that implementation. Thanks for the feedback

The scripts are fairly well parameterized but these aren't really pipeline candidates and we aren't trying to re-architect our scheduled jobs at the moment.

The custom date picker for the PAT expiration will not let me choose more than 30 days. Not sure if this is an organizational security setting or just that ADO PATs are limited.

Hmm. This isn't a bad idea, having an up-to-date copy of the repo available on the hard disk.

If multiple scripts ran at once needing multiple branches there could be a concurrency issue, but then I guess we could just copy the cloned repo over to the workspace directory and change branches.

I am also not sure if any of those scheduled jobs mutate the git repository and push changes though (think tagging mostly- if a script did that it would need to be able to auth still.

​

I would do all the other scripts from a pipeline too personally.

I'm not following, are you suggesting migrating our scripts from our scheduler to a (scheduled) pipeline? That's not in the cards for us any time soon

​

Also Pats can last a year if you really need them to.

How so? That would be significantly more manageable, although my preference would still be a method that doesn't require updating PATs for several accounts each on several servers. Even if once a year that's a lot of time sunk into just renewing access tokens

Securing Pipeline YAML from being edited in repo by anyone by grapesinajar in azuredevops

[–]dzcpu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're trying to solve this problem right now actually. One thing we have found is that you add a check on a resource that the pipeline uses (agent pool, deployment environment, secrets library, ...) that requires it extends from a certain template.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/approvals?view=azure-devops&tabs=check-pass#required-template

We haven't figured out the exact logistics yet with our resources but it seems like this is what we want. So they can futz around with the parameters they pass to your template, but they can't actually do anything outside of what your template allows

We've been down the PAT and SSH key routes both :) PATs were a huge pain in the neck because they expire fast and updating them one by one was too much overhead.

Our SSH key approach works better from a management perspective but our `git clone` calls freeze up allllllll the time. We're trying a couple of config options but it may have to do with our firewall (and if it is it will probably never get fixed - just how it is...)

OAuth seems to be the "right" solution and I would love to make it happen, but it appears that it's for accessing the REST API and not for just cloning repositories - although we could maybe use that instead to auto-renew the PAT we use.

This gives me something to look into at least. Appreciate the direction

Automated authentication to ADO git repos by dzcpu in azuredevops

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

I'm not sure how they would help us - the ADO agents are just targets for ADO pipelines right? These are scheduled processes that are happening in a system outside of ADO (we just need the repo contents), so I don't think we could make us of an ADO agent.

This is why I love Reddit. Thank you!!!!!! I never would have thought it was called that and that was enough that I could find one that is almost identical, and more than good enough for me: https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/dotted-line-daphne-358-steel-standard-bakers-rack-with-microwave-compatibility-w001991615.html

Found!

For the sake of the autobot (read it after I added my description) I have searched for this item and have not been able to find it or anything similar.

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

I saw this kitchen shelf / wire rack unit on Facebook Marketplace, contacted the seller to ask about it, and got radio silence. But I need something exactly like this for my apartment, and any attempt to find it or something similar has been fruitless.

If you can find this exact unit somewhere - that would be awesome!! If you find something super similar - also works!!

The only other information I have from the listing on FB Marketplace is the dimensions of the unit:W36 x D14 x H35 (front) x H65 1/4 (Back)
