I finally received the inverter I ordered a while ago, and have been using it for a couple if weeks so far. I've been looking for a decent one for ages, as all the other high-output ones I tried or read about so far have been sub-optimal.
I wrote a review about it. Feel free to ask any questions!
It looks like even the forum is gone now, and generates 403 errors for me π
This had potential: https://github.com/adulau/Forban, and i tried it at a hacker festival soon after it was released, but sadly it is rather rudimentary and hasn't been updated in over a decade, which is a real shame. I did try and contact the developer years ago with some bug reports, but heard nothing π’
Secure connection failed :(
Absolutely. In a previous company, we migrated from on-site MS Exchange to Google Mail (ugh). Apart from it being a crap experience (it was a new service), and feeling like we were beta testers as things kept changing daily, so writing training material was a PITA, once there was an outage, and even though we had ~10K users on it, they basically said "get in line" when we were chasing for updates etc even though we were a paying customer!
Fuck them.
"For security, the carβs built-in online connectivity feature has been disabled to prevent remote access" - cool, can normals request that too?
so not really much of an apology.....
No licence is required for this model. I wouldn't give away something that needed a shitty licence without mentioning it (but then I probably wouldn't have taken it for myself in the first place).
I made that mistake with an Infobox device at an auction a few years ago. You can use all functionality for 30 days, then after that you need a licence or NOTHING works and you have to wipe it all and start again. What a pile of shit, I only wanted to play with it and run a few DNS zones.
It's a shame, I was hoping to learn something from it as they cost a fortune, and usually overkill for what I need, but instead i'm never going to recommend their products. I could open it up and see if I can run Linux on it, but I don't need yet another device that runs bog-standard Linux - any boring hardware could be used for that purpose. π
Me: "Not enough" My other half: "waay too much!!!"
Most of it is from friends who know me well, tbh, although I will take old wood from skips :)
Would anyone be interested in a Cisco 3750 (WS-C3750G-48PS) for their #HomeLab or #SelfHosting set up etc?
There are 48 x Gig RJ45 ports, 4 x 1Gb SFP ports, and have PoE (15.4w) on all copper ports up to 370w total. This is usually good enough for CCTV cameras, VoIP phones and WiFi APs.
It's an old model, but works fine. It will be wiped and won't have any SFPs or console cable, but I can provide a power cable if needed.
If you don't want to buy a console cable I can configure it with an IP and credentials.
I was given several by a friend, but don't need them all. One of them is still my core switch, which is on 24/7.
I am willing to post to the UK only, as it will be too expensive to send overseas (unless you're willing to pay, but then would be cheaper to just buy one off ebay locally...)
Any takers?
I don't want to just give them to a recycling company, and ebay would probably be too much hassle.
DM me here or on Mastodon if you're interested π
Not sure how Porn = Terrorism. Sounds like mission creep to me.... Oh well, I guess it makes a change from using Anti-Terror laws to stop people putting the wrong things in wheelie bins: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3333366/Half-of-councils-use-anti-terror-laws-to-spy-on-bin-crimes.html
Thanks for the update! Good luck with the next server update. Moving services is always stressful :(
One thing I think would be a good addition to your list (maybe step 3 or 4), would be to use a network-wide ad/tracker blocker for your house, as that would protect everyone using your network, as well as devices that you may not be able to install an ad blocker on.
I use PiHole at my gf's house (https://pi-hole.net/), and Technitium DNS (https://infosec.exchange/@shreyasonline) at my own house, with some generic block lists.
Both are easy to set up, work really well and are very stable.
Yes!
I recently installed @q4os@floss.social on an old laptop that could only run a 32bit OS and a max of 4GB RA, and it's great. It has up to date packages for Firefox, LibreOffice, Dino (for XMPP), VLC etc
It isn't my main computer, but it totally could be!
