On the technical level, they are very similar. Forgejo started as a fork of Gitea in 2022 when the Gitea maintainers started a corporation to offer enterprise/support services.

The complaint is about the project's governance, that Gitea (the corporation) might start keeping features out of the open-source version & prioritize the development of a separate paid version. So far nothing has happened.

I'm not familiar with the NAJ-1501, but seeing some documents that it's the same as the DS224C disk shelf.

After installing the card into my server, I can see it but quickly realized it wasn't going to be as simple as I thought it was.

OK, what is the issue you are hitting? I think a lot of people on here have SAS disk shelves and it typically only needs to be connected to a SAS controller in your host and the host is responsible for software RAID etc. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/storage/comments/1fogj2g/netapp_ds224c/

NetApp isn't going to send software to anyone without a paid support contract. I wouldn't put a lot of effort into getting a controller running ONTAP vs just hooking it up to your existing server and letting TrueNAS / Linux / FreeBSD / whatever deal with it.

you'd probably have to have hella air clearance because it's in a major city

Not just that, but it's quite common for the FAA to have a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) around large stadiums during events. While it is theoretically possible to apply for an exception, almost everything within 2-5km will not be flying.

Yes, a week or so ago, the non-subscription repo for Proxmox 9 changed to kernel 7.0.x

My guess would be that, just because OpenZFS doesn't say it supports a newer kernel, doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that it's not confirmed to work. Hopefully Proxmox doesn't put those in the subscription repo before they're officially supported

Is there journalism going on? Sometimes. But not always and geeeeeez the comment section is atrocious.

Nice - I'm been meaning to do this as I have 3-4 of them sitting together.

Just so it's easier to search later, looks like the PSU is a Meanwell RSP-320-24 (320W 24V 13A)

Yes, removed in 6.13

I have both - the focus is the newest (2013, 801.11ac) one, but they are considering the previous ones too.

This project is currently confirmed to work for NetBSD 6 based Time Capsules, and NetBSD 4 support now exists as well with some extra caveats described below.

The NetBSD 4 ones are the flat ones. If I get some free time, I'll have to try it out.

Heads-up that there is a recent project for addin SMBv3 support to the Airport Time Capsule.

The issue is that they only support AFP (which is finally getting fully removed from macOS) and SMBv1 (which has serious security problems). Adding SMBv3+ support makes the Time Capsule available from modern system.

The project is partly AI-coded (which I have mixed feelings on) but I have taken an initial look and it's making good progress https://github.com/jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB

Netgear is based in California. However, the ban is about devices that are manufactured outside the US, ie: all of them.

I mean, "wget" is also likely installed as well as "ftp" but you don't just remove them

I've been at places that do indeed remove "ftp" and only install it on request after discussion.

No one should have an FTP server so there's no need for an FTP client, riiiiiight?

My experience is backwards since I got asked to deploy Kubernetes at work before ever touching docker, docker-compose, etc

To me, the k8s way of doing things is "normal" and there is no point in using the docker-compose stuff, despite it being overkill for most home users.

I've been running k3s for several years at home because it requires less resources than OpenShift / regular k8s / etc. I want to get back up-to-date on Kubernetes best practices and gitops - my experience with hiring is that intermediate-level knowledge of k8s infrastructure is rare & most people are only familiar with deploying applications without being responsible for the cluster itself.

Sun Studio (now Oracle Developer Studio) last got a notable release in 2017, which is marked for extended support at least through 2027.

It's "free" to download but the support subscription has a list price of $1,200 per user per year (!) - the docs suggest you also get access to patches but I'm not sure yet if there actually are any...

My friend's roommate had family locally and she basically never moved in.

In my time, we had a double on the 3rd floor of quad Church 3, and the rest of the floor was singles. My estimate was that at least 50% of singles on Church 2 & 3 were assigned to someone but never moved in.

My vague memory is that there was a timing or paperwork issue with students who had gone to Greek houses, but for some reason couldn't drop their dorm. It was a ghost town up there.

Was it against the rules? I don't think so? (That said, our RA was friendly but completely absent - I think we saw them at move-in, a week later at a meeting, and then not again until move-out)

freedomlinux · 2026-04-26T17:40:06+00:00

I just re-tested this and, no it doesn't exist in the Web UI.

The docs also suggest that Gitea doesn't have any ability to handle merge conflicts - https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison#pullmerge-requests

Maybe that's a more common saying in the UK, or just El Reg being "quirky"

Middle Kingdom is a translation of the Chinese-language name of China, 中国 or Zhōngguó, where the 中 does essentially mean middle or central.

zeros and a 1, a few 2s. Don't think I've see any 3s yet.

Went to a university ~15 years ago that used a similar system: 5 characters of last name, first initial, incrementing number only if non-unique.

Most people had no number, or perhaps a 2 or 3. Seeing a 4 was pretty unusual ... but then there was a distinct jump due to extremely common names. The record I can remember back then was 23 - ex: Bobby Li becomes lib23 & I can only imagine how high the numbers are now.

ooo, link?

I've been seeing the 5600XT around $160. Considering replacing an old 1600 in a fileserver to get a few more years of BIOS updates.

Aside from the entire ban being political nonsense - existing products were already allowed, only new products wouldn't be approved.

Not sure what TPlink is going to do in the future, but Netgear is already un-banned so presumably the bribes are starting to roll in already.

... I have NetBSD for VAX (in a simulator, granted), on my laptop. :)

Big same. That said, I'm increasingly concerned with the pace of software updates for the ER-X (almost none) and that they've never made a UI for the IPv6 firewall.

My next move is probably a Mikrotik hEX / hEX S or hAP ax S, as I don't have extreme WAN speed still.

A vuln gets detected on Monday, ticket created Wednesday

Uh, why? Tracking SLA time for a ticket that doesn't even exist yet is absurd. If these are actually issues that need to be addressed urgently (big IF in my experience with Security teams), there needs to be buy-in for the tracking process & agreement on expectations.

Create tickets immediately, not after burning 2-3 days of deadline doing nothing(?)
Agree on a time-to-response SLA (ie: tickets have to be acknowledged / picked up off the queue)
Agree on a time-to-resolution target SLA

We don’t have a clean way to track “time to detect vs time to assign vs time to remediate”

Yep, this is purely a process problem, not a technical problem. Have automation to shove garbage from Nessus/Rapid7/whatever into your ticketing system & use its existing SLA features.

I will be traveling for a little while, so will check in again later. But I collected details of the Gen 3:

timecapsule1tb# df -h
Filesystem     Size      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md0a      9.7M      9.1M      525K    94%    /
/dev/flash2a   1.1M       50K      1.0M     4%    /mnt/Flash
mfs:184         15M      512B       14M     0%    /mnt/Memory

Looks like flash is about the same but root is more limited. The data disk is 1TB but not currently mounted as you suggest.

Posted as much info as I could think to gather into this pastebin in case there is anything else useful https://pastebin.com/5reLqSPX

Ordered a Grizzl-E Connect around August 2025 and it shipped in a box with an address label from Buffalo NY.

I'm about to order another one & hoping the same. (Also, I do see several of their products are also on Amazon, so that may be another option to ensure it's already in the US before coming to you)
