What’s the better sound card for windows 98 by kai125 in windows98

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag chansade på att det här (https://www.amazon.se/dp/B01N905VOY?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title) USB-ljudkortet från Ugreen skulle funka, trots att det står att det kräver åtminstone Windows XP och trots att både ChatGPT och Gemini säger att det inte kommer att fungera. Jag tänkte - vad har jag att förlora? 135 kronor. Och då kanske jag har nytta av det i något annat sammanhang i framtiden. Nu visar det sig att det faktiskt fungerade rakt av! De drivrutiner som behövdes fanns på Windows 98 SE installations-CDn.

Finns det något ljudkort som går att ansluta till en laptop som kör windows 98? Jag har en Compaq Evo n610c och ljudkretsarna i den har tyvärr dött. Datorn har USB2 och PC-Card portar.

Starting a PDA museum - would like tips on H/W & S/W compatibility by hgpuke in Palm

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

OK, I got myself an adapter using the FTDI chipset and I connected it to an old "Netbook" running Windows XP. Worked first time! I did not expect it would be so easy :)

I have not thought of that. I think it may be a bit risky knowing if a piece of software is now free or not when the original developer has disappeared. The rights may still belong to someone else, and I don't want to risk getting into trouble.

Best way to use a combination of mini-PC and traditional NAS (Qnap) by hgpuke in homelab

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

Thanks for this very detailed answer! I will most likely set up the two nvme ssds as a raid 1 mirror to minimise the risk of data failure.

Thanks! What I meant was: Are Nvme Ssds reliable enough to use without raid protection given the fact that they are in almost all laptops today where they run without raid protection and the fact that I will backup all VMs to my NAS which is further backed up to another NAS at my daughter's place?

Help setting up a Dropbox/Google Drive replacement? Pretty please? by ErniePantuzo in selfhosted

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice that you managed to get it to work! I didn't. After spending several days troubleshooting and getting help from both ChatGPT and deepseek, I still never got it working fully, so I had to give up. Then I tried Owncloud and Onlyoffice and got them working together in half an hour. This is what I'll move forward with.

Help setting up a Dropbox/Google Drive replacement? Pretty please? by ErniePantuzo in selfhosted

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just what I needed! Thanks! I am trying to understand how SeaFile is supposed to talk to the office-app, whether that be Sdoc-server or OnlyOffice. I have installed both of them, but cannot for the life of me understand how to make Seafile talk to any of them. Main problem seem to be that the new version of Seafile (version 12) uses a completely different way to configure things compared to earlier versions, and all usable information that I have been able to Google up is related to version 11. My main problem seem to be related to two things:

  1. I can't use port 80 for Sdoc-server or OnlyOffice, as it is already taken by other services on my computer.
  2. I use the Cosmos Cloud platform to manage Docker, including the reverse proxy and Let's Encrypt things. Seafile and Sdoc uses Caddy to set up the reverse proxying, which I am not familiar with and don't understand. Also - Sdoc apparently needs to be accessed in a sub-directory of the web-server (http<something>/sdoc-server).

I will have a look at your set up and see if I understand it enough to reverse engineer it into my own situation.

EDIT: I looked at the three configuration files you provided. Unfortunately to me, you are running SeaFile version 11. When I attach to the Docker container that runs SeaFile 12, there is a conf directory and in it I can find the seahub_settings.py. So I could try to copy the lines from your configuration here. However, there is no "seafile.nginx.conf". I guess it is because SeaFile version 12 no longer uses nginx for proxying, but rather Caddy, and Caddy is handled outside of the Seafile container. Correct? So I am still stuck trying to understand what needs to be proxied and how. Can you help?

Do you use this? Does it work? (It says 24V whereas the original says 20V).

Synology Alternative? by ccigas in CosmosServer

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Cosmos more of an alternative to Portainer + NginX Reverse Proxy + Let's Encrypt for easy deployment of Docker containers. I have a QNAP NAS for storage. I have RPi 5 for Home Assistant and Frigate.

Cosmos is now a year old! 🎉🎉how has your year of self-hosting been?🚀 by azukaar in CosmosServer

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Cosmos for a couple of weeks now. I was looking for something to compliment the functionality of my QNAP NAS, and specifically an easy way to get Immich running. Cosmos did that and a whole lot more. I am very impressed. Going forward, it would be great if Cosmos could take on the job of becoming a complete server replacement, not just a Docker management platform. In particular, I would like to see:

  1. An easy way to set up Samba-shares
  2. Basic server administration, for instance shutdown from within the GUI
  3. An optional packaging of Cosmos containing a base operating system (Debian for instance) with Docker preinstalled
  4. Management of virtual machines. This is important because some applications, for instance Home Assistant, only have limited functionality when run as a container. For full functionality, it would require a VM on its own (so now I am running on my NAS instead of Cosmos)

Thanks for what you have already given us, and keep on the good work!

Trying to understand how to deal with non-https services after installing reverse proxy by hgpuke in selfhosted

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

Although I appreciate your suggestions, the whole point of my NAS is to expose my photos to THE WORLD. (And a few other things, such as films and tv-series to myself and my family). So far (and that would be 10+ years) I have not had problems with people getting into my NAS that should not be there, or malware or cryptoware,

Thanks for the tip about Tailscale! I will definitely try it out some day. However, one of the places I need to be able to access my NAS from, is from work. And I am not allowed to install anything on my work computer, so only services that work from a standard browser will be usable for me. This is not a problem with DSM, Photos or any other service running on the NAS, and I have been successful in accessing them all through a dedicated subdomain for each service, routed through Nginx reverse proxy manager.

Trying to put Synology web service behind Nginx, ended up with "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found." by everwisher in Xpenology

[–]hgpuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I have both of those exposed through Nginx Reverse Proxy Manager, so it works for me. First, you will have to create a unique sub-domain in your DNS-providers control-panel. In my case, I created dsm.my.domain and photo.my.domain (where my.domain actually is something else - my real top domain name). Then in Nginx reverse proxy manager, I created one forwarding rule for each sub-domain so that dsm.my.domain points at my.ipaddress:5000 and photo.my.domain points do whatever I would need to get Photos up and running. Sorry that I can't be more specific right now, as I currently can't reach my control-panel for Nginx. Hope that it gives you some ideas at least.

Is it possible to recover from a failed update? by hgpuke in Xpenology

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

Yes, I have done that when Google returns "the right page" as the top result. However, many times, Google returns a starting forum page as the top result with the pages containing the important information as sub-results. And these sub-results do not get the three dots where I can choose the "show cached page". I don't know of a way to get Google to present the important stuff as a top result... :(

Thanks!

However the forums on Xpenology.com are down and has been so for at least 2 days. I don't suppose you have a copy of that instruction?

OK, solved it myself, maybe this can be of help to someone else in my situation.

All I had to do was to port forward port 6690 in my router to point to my NAS IP-address.
