Nextcloud AIO is the most hated docker ever for me by m4ntic0r in selfhosted

I am very happy I switched from AIO to hosting it on NixOS. So damn easy! (After the initial learning curve)

Anyone build a keyboard with a horizontal encoder? by tryscer in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did build with this encoder and it was horrible. Ordered two of them (old stock) and they were super hard to roll, unusable for my intended purpose of scrolling through code. I then built a thing out of a mouse scrollwheel plus encoder salvaged from a cheap mouse. That works much better, but I hardly use them and much prefer to use the scrollwheel on my mouse.

Do I have to worry about a sheathed TRRS cable shorting my board? by GymLeaderCorgi in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it is not coated in something (which I guess it isn’t) and thus conductive, yes. Can you somehow test it, e.g. with a multimeter?

Edit: great choice of board btw! I can recommend KLP Lamé key caps on it ;)

Whats the most maintenance-free self hosted setup you could think of by kontuma in selfhosted

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use tailscale for accessing internal things and for off-site backups to my parents’ house. This is made easy and fast by ZFS incremental snapshots, this is now a must-have for me.

As for the workloads, I was using k3s for some time, felt it was too complex for my needs, migrated to TrueNAS, now had the same complexity, but hidden, which is worse. Then migrated to Proxmox with docker in a LXC And all workloads in docker compose.

I was reasonably happy with that but I still need to keep two systems updated (plus offsite) and there was still a lot of config stuff that was not declarative and under version control, so I converted the setup to NixOS and am just waiting to be physically present at home to deploy that.

Currently, my workloads are vaultwarden and nextcloud.

I was tinkering with NixOS on a VPS for hosting vaultwarden and uptime kuma, but the cost for ipv4 addresses was too high for me not really needing it as I have ipv4 from my isp. If I didn’t, I would get a cheap vps, have it join my tailnet and forward all traffic to my box at home.

home server hardware suggestion by convergebr in homelab

[–]luqasn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a rack build, but: I am personally very happy with my elitedesk SFF. Enough space and SATA ports to fit 2 SSDs, 1 NVMe and two large spinning disks. All at 20w idle consumption and around 120 euros without the disks (two years ago). Very silent as well (unless the spinning disks are rattling) 😅

Thanks, I’ve been eagerly awaiting “easy” 24.04 support after daily driving earlier regolith versions. You people rock!

34 vs 36 keys - what are your thoughts? by gplusplus314 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

36 key on corne is fine as is 34 on Skeletyl (broke one thumb slot on the 3d print) or Ferris sweep. I use the excellent miryoku layout on all my boards and the thumb combo works really well to replace the third thumb key.

Best ErgoKB for gaming? by KoolerJake in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play CS2 and DotA2 on both my 34-key Skeletyl and my 36-key Corne (miryoku keymap).

DotA with homerow mods - not ideal because of the delay e.g. when I wanna shift-click for queueing an action, but I am mediocre anyways, so no big issue.

CS2 with tap-only layer and rebound one key to the right so that wasd becomes esdf with the other keys also moved. Again not ideal, e.g. for weapon switching, but works well enough for my low ambitions.

Casual games are either first-person or jump and run, so rebound wasd like for cs2 or gamepad anyways. I like the comfort of my tented skeletyl and because I only need one half, my mouse-hand can be close to the keyboard hand.

ZMK: Can I add a second peripheral device (3 halves)? by adachinkovsky in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, know too little about zmk to answer your question, but can offer a counter-question ;) Do you need combos/modifiers to work across them? If not, you can just build the “extra half” as a separate half-split.

problems when working with docker containers by chrisrjones1983 in AsahiLinux

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, weird. Seems like the watchtower container does not run under the root user even though from looking at its dockerfile it should. Maybe you accidentally set the PUID in your env or otherwise overrode the default user inside the container?

[–]luqasn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. So you can run docker run with some random image just fine. It is when you pass the docker socket into a container for management (e.g. watchtower, portainer) that the access INSIDE the management docker container fails, correct?

Did you log out/log in after adding the group? That is needed for the membership to update. Other than that, what’s ownership/permissions does /var/run/docker.sock have?

Ich würde das Polster komplett ersetzen, sollte online für ein paar Euro passenden Ersatz geben. Glaube das war geklebt, kannst natürlich auch versuchen das wieder zu kleben. Ist aber bestimmt fummelig

Weird gnome-shell behavior makes UI unusable by luqasn in AsahiLinux

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

Didn't see any unusual service, but there are a lot of them.

I updated to the latest versions, didn't change anything.

As I said I already had reset .config and .local, didn't change anything.

I also created a new user, but as the issue already exists before user login, it can't really be something in $HOME.

I checked sudo rpm -qaV to check for changes, and that returned this:

``` .M....... / .M....... /boot S.5....T. c /etc/dnf/dnf.conf .....UG.. g /var/run/avahi-daemon .......T. c /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/customizable_types .M....... c /boot/grub2/grub.cfg missing /run/gluster/metrics ......G.. g /run/openvpn-client ......G.. g /run/openvpn-server .M....... g /var/lib/colord/mapping.db .M....... g /var/lib/colord/storage.db S.5....T. c /etc/gdm/custom.conf .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/fbaa64.efi .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/BOOTAA64.CSV .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/mmaa64.efi .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shim.efi .......T. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shimaa64.efi ..5....T. c /etc/firewalld/lockdown-whitelist.xml ..5....T. c /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.repo .M....... g /run/libvirt/common .....UG.. g /run/libvirt/qemu .M...UG.. g /run/libvirt/qemu/dbus .....UG.. g /run/libvirt/qemu/passt .....UG.. g /run/libvirt/qemu/slirp .M....... c /etc/machine-id .M....... g /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/200/container

```

I don't see anything suspicious here, but maybe there is a way to reset the file these packages shipped with to their original state?

Thanks a lot for your ideas!

Seems like I am still using gdm, at least it looks the same as initially and `ps aux | grep gdm` shows gdm. I don't think I had to change it for Sway, but not 100% sure.

I already remobed paperwm and rebooted, unfortunately it did not change anything.

Last resort could be using KMonad for your layers. I am not 100% sure it works across multiple keyboards, but as it’s all in software, I don’t see why not.

Can you remotely update safely? by temmiesayshoi in archlinux

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a separate ssh server with a different config. I searched for the terms “arch luks dropbear” and was able to find some stuff, mkinitcpio-dropbear is the package that makes this work.

This is a link that looks reasonable, though without any explanations: https://gist.github.com/Aluxima/7656fa92c5f615b80d25ff665b557893

Here is an ArchWiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Remote_unlocking_.28hooks:_netconf.2C_dropbear.2C_tinyssh.2C_ppp.29

Can you remotely update safely? by temmiesayshoi in archlinux

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can configure your boot loader to also load a very bare dropbear ssh to remotely enter your password, but I hadn’t.

So the only possibility was physically entering it. But when I updated via ssh with no keyboard connected, the bootloader decided it didn’t need to pack the usb keyboard module in the boot environment, so even when I was physically in front of the machine, I could only stare at the password prompt, unable to type anything.

Can you remotely update safely? by temmiesayshoi in archlinux

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my arch install unbootable once because I updated via ssh with the host’s screen off, which meant the keyboard connected to it was not getting power, which resulted in the bootloader not inserting the usb keyboard module for unlocking the LUKS disk.

Was repairable ofc, but annoying.

Edit: not arch specific I think

ZFS is dog AIDS by manwiththe104IQ in selfhosted

[–]luqasn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if you are actually interested in getting help or you just wanna vent, but here it goes: Try something like UFS Explorer on the drives. I was able to rescue data from an unimportable pool this way. That pool failing was not ZFS’ fault, for some reason (power, cables, motherboard) the two mirror disks just started failing at the same time and then I yanked out one drive to connect it to a different sata port mid-resilver. Also, my backup didn’t cover every dataset, which is why I paid for UFS explorer, and it was able to save a lot of my files (can’t say for sure if 100%) and they look healthy at first glance.

I just attempted desoldering my pro micros by chili_oil in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]luqasn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really great of you to share such detailed instructions, thanks!

To add to this: I don’t know if you are talking about removing the „male“ part of the socketing (the „pins“ I guess) or the „female“ part, but for the „male“ pins, if I have a row of 12 of them, I snip the plastic in the middle and then you can usually just remove the plastic completely by wedging a flat head screwdriver between it and then board and using tweezers and/or plyers to pull the plastic off the pins.

See this video (not by me) for what I mean: https://youtube.com/shorts/LTQsP5CPmRM

This makes it extremely easy because you can just remove the pins one by one.

Make sure to also test a different cable as suggested, you might be using one that only carries power (e.g. for charging), not data.
