No one mentioned the Solaris convention yet ?

/dev/cXtXdXsX

The letters mean controller, SCSI target, disk and slice (Solaris equivalent to a partition).

I always thought this was the most elegant naming scheme in the Unix world.

I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

I could say the same about Microsoft.

That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like “Freeginx”. IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.

Safe in what context ?

If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that’s what encryption comes in to protect it.

So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.

You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:

• You expose the port used by the backend/API with a “ports:” setting on the compose file
• Expose the socket used by the ytproxy container using a volume that points to a directory in the host

You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.

TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.

Privacy conscious Interface for Youtube, with a much cleaner and faster interface. You can try a public instance from this list: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

Those look nice. I don’t need a dedicated desktop client, since I always have Firefox open anyways, but I’ll give Libretube a try on my phone. Bonus, Libretube’s Mastodon account is on the same instance that I use :-)

Games from my childhood. Moon Patrol, Galaga, Zaxxon, Twin Bee, Xevious, Gradius, etc.

Yup. I’m that old.

Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add “HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software” to the list. Another one id “LXC - Linux Containers”

Can’t say anything about CUDA because I don’t have Nvidia cards nor do I work with AI stuff, but I was able to pass the built-in GPU on my Ryzen 2600G to the Jellyfin container so it could do hardware transcoding of videos.

You need the drivers for the GPU installed on the host OS, then link the devices on /dev to the container. For AMD this is easy, bc the drivers are open source and included in the distro (Proxmox is Debian based), for Nvidia you’d have to deal with the proprietary stuff both on the host and on the containers.

I already did a few months ago. My setup was a mess, everything tacked on the host OS, some stuff installed directly, others as docker, firewall was just a bunch of hand-written iptables rules…

I got a newer motherboard and CPU to replace my ageing i5-2500K, so I decided to start from scratch.

First order of business: Something to manage VMs and containers. Second: a decent firewall. Third: One app, one container.

I ended up with:

• Proxmox as VM and container manager
• OPNSense as firewall. Server has 3 network cards (1 built-in, 2 on PCIe slots), the 2 add-ons are passed through to OPNSense, the built in is for managing Proxmox and for the containers .
• A whole bunch of LXC containers running all sorts of stuff.

Things look a lot more professional and clean, and it’s all much easier to manage.

You can try it using a public instance if you like, but since installing it is easy and painless, just go for it.

I read some time ago (that was before the Twitter acquisition) a Fellon Muskolini apologist say that “He is always the smartest person in any room”. It’s clear now that this is absolutely true, as long as everybody else in the room is a rutabaga.

Move fast and break things!
