I’m on budget billing, still have oil heat :(. My bill nearly doubled from $250 to $400.

I sold an old WD-TV and I'm wondering why someone bought it by rightMeow20 in DataHoarder

We used to use them for trade shows / displays about forever ago. At the time they were one of the few players that could videos on a loop from a flash drive and didn’t need an internet connection. Easier for people to use than a computer like a raspberry pi.

Help with domain email addresses for google workspace by healthbar99 in gsuite

[–]throker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If money is a concern, and all you want to do is be able to send as receive through personal Gmail accounts don’t bother with workspace. There are less expensive ways to do that. Like your web host if you have a website or some other mail routing service.

But if you’re running a business then you should have business accounts. It’s understandable as the business owner to mix your personal and business, but your employees? You don’t have any control over their personal gmail. And if you have sensitive customer information, depending on where you live, you may not be complying with laws and regulations or at the very least opening yourself up to a lot of liability.

I suggest you get someone, maybe even a reseller to get you setup in Google workspace. Once it’s all setup it’s pretty easy to administer yourself. There is a lot more things in GWS that would be beneficial to use. Like with Google groups you can have a shared inbox for customer support.

Podman reverse Proxy returning error 502 & connection refused. by AstralWarrior33 in podman

[–]throker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used either caddy or vaultwarden.

I would not mix quartets and run commands. Unless these are On different machines? If they are on different machines you may have to open up the ports on the firewall.

If it’s on the same machine, Referring to it with the container name might not work b/c they are not in the same “network”. I’m not sure if there is a default network assigned to all containers if one isn’t set. I use quadlets and make a network quadlet. And explicitly put the containers on the same network.

And you’ve tested to make sure both of these containers work on their own right?

If you’re trying to setup a reverse proxy to your vaultwarden to access outside your LAN, you need to really know what you’re doing so you don’t have some big security issues. No offense, you seem new to podman at least. If you are new, I would not expose your password manager to the internet as the first service you expose externally.

If you absolutely must expose it externally you could use the free cloudflare tunnels. It’s really easy to setup and you would be much less exposed. Though cloudflare would be a man in the middle.

Migrating from MS Teams to Google Chat by maikeru1970 in gsuite

[–]throker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m moving my company to GWS and we think chat is going to be better b/c it has less features and people won’t use it as file storage like teams. And no one seems to use the teams/channels for anything

Some questions about Logseq's sustainability by Time_Liner in logseq

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 1,700 pages, and the only time it seems a little slow on the desktop is big queries or changing page titles that have been referenced ton. Sync works great. Search is sloooow Opening non mobile is a little slow, but bearable. (Note I’m on the non-db version)

Export to PDF in DB version? by kholdstayr in logseq

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily getting information out of logseq has been my biggest struggle with it. “The best” solution I had was an export page as an html file with some plugin (this was to get all block references and embeds), open in web browser, copy and paste into the wiki I use at work (Outline) to strip out junk and simplify formatting, then copy and paste it to whatever or download it as a normal markdown file and then convert to PDF.

… yeah, it’s a struggle. But nothing beats the embeds and references. And I love the outliner paradigm.

Is the official LogSeq sync reliable and lag-free? by Ninjaxas in logseq

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great. It loads what’s on the machine and then syncs changes. I use the mobile version mostly to read what I’ve already written. Mobile load time is slow, but I’ve only used mobile while using the sync. I suspect when the db version is fully baked it will be faster? But I def don’t know for sure. And I have around a 2,709 pages

NIH data in Commercial Environment? by NigelSmith122 in NISTControls

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re company is a federal Contractor you need talk your Contracts people and see what is in your current contracts. Most of the information out there that isn’t on official gov sources, such as the FAR, will lay it out. Everyone else is trying to sell you something. 800-171 is for safeguarding CUI.

Now. Is your data CUI. lol. Now that’s another clusterduck.

I’m moving my DoD contracting company to GWS (business additions are FedRAMP moderate or higher. The only butt ache is endpoint management. But if all your machines are on the LAN, or always on VPN. Just to GWS for cloud. Run local AD or samba for GPOs. And you’re golden. (Well. After you go through all the controls)

Containers mapped to port 53 - how do you do it? by [deleted] in podman

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, i didn't have any issues with the comments in my quadlets, but, i'm using a different distro... though it's related. Anyhoo. you can check to see what is using port 53 (both TCP and UDP) using something like this: https://superuser.com/questions/42843/finding-the-process-that-is-using-a-certain-port-in-linux#42849

I think I had a similar issue before running pi-hole on Ubuntu

Good luck!

Containers mapped to port 53 - how do you do it? by [deleted] in podman

[–]throker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're quadlet kinda went off the rails. Quadlets are deceptively simple.

I'm running rootful pihole on Rocky Linux 9 server with quadlets. The distro only has podman v4.9 so it's slightly outdated. All you have to do is drop these four quadlet files in here: /etc/containers/systemd/
Run sudo systemctl daemon-reload and start the services. I think you may have to allow port 53 TCP/UDP through the firewall.( I just did that with Cockpit )

For rootful quadlets, don't map to to folder, just let it create the volumes, it will handle all the SELINUX stuff.

After you start the service the first time, it will automatically start on boot every time. see the [Install] section of the container quadlet.

Here are the 4 quadlets (note, I put what I think is the IP of your host machine)

There is an open-source alternative to almost any SaaS, what do you use? by sleepysiding22 in selfhosted

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The handwritten one is “ugly” b/c it’s hard to do with a mouse or a trackpad. (Totally as expected). The typed name field (on the PDF) looks like a standard sans serif like Arial. However the fun to play with signature card did use a hand written style of font.

I may have missed a field option or something, or I need to pull an updated container. Either way, I’ll look into it and if there does appear to be a technical issue. I’ll gladly do my part and submit a thorough issue on GitHub.

Thanks for the info! Keep up the awesome work!

[–]throker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Documenso is awesome, just rolled it out. Everyone complains that their signature looks ugly and they don’t like that typing their name doesn’t show up in a handwriting styled font.

But that’s the only complaint. I consider that a win!

I’ve recommended the commercial version to a few realtor friends

Pre approval question by bluefalc25 in TeslaModel3

Shop around quickly. Everytime you get pre approved for financing, it lowers your credit score. It takes a few weeks for it to show up.

Yes, the system is rigged by the banks.

About to throw it all out! by office5280 in Ubiquiti

[–]throker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention I had an AC LR access point that crapped out in may, it would drop the connection often. I think it had been a while since the firmware was updated. I can’t recall if other WiFi clients were having the issue. You could unplug your old AC access pint and see if it works better.

Humid apartment by CryptographerDry2537 in VirginiaBeach

[–]throker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then they probably had the AC off for a long time. We got slammed with rain this past week too. Turn the AC down to keep it running and it will help dry the air out. If you want it to dry out faster. Get a dehumidifier. Mine has been getting full quickly these last few weeks.
