What's your usecase for the journals? That might help direct the discussion.

For work I use Outlook with caldavsynchronizer, but I've stepped away from those kind of Journals and now I'm tracking things in Logseq

For time tracking for work I'm using other tools too.

Tough because it was an 8 day week condensed into 4 days due to the BH Monday here.

But, nice weekend to chillax and now I'm ~~almost ready~~ less depressed about work already starting again tomorrow.

Just a friendly reminder that RAID is not a backup...

Just consider if something accidentally overwrites some / all your files. This is a perfectly legit action and the checksums will happily match that new data, but your file(s) are gone...

This is exactly what I'm about to do (later this week when I visit their house)

I've been using syncthing for years, but any tips for the encryption?

I was going to use SendOnly at my end to ensure that the data at the other end is an exact mirror, but in that case, how would the restore work if it's all encrypted?

Food ate. 2nd beer being drunk now...

Had some champagne earlier too - my SO has just covered from some major surgery, hence the holiday rental - just a short weekend to get away from everything.

(Except Lemmy ofc)

It varies of course, but most of my torrents are movies and linux ISOs (for real)

I seed any Movies I leech at a 2:1 ratio... most are leeched from Europe, but I've had them from Canada, South America, Asia, but weirdly not many from North America.

I like to give back more to the Linux community, so I'm constantly seeding Arch & Mint ISOs (as that's just what I'm using... maybe something Raspberry-ish) - they go everywhere.

I had a weird instance once where the same Chinese IP address was constantly re-downloading the same ISO. Could've been a VPN endpoint, but after I'd shared something like 40:1 there, I started using GeoIP to block it and similar regions I was uncomfortable with... so the world's becoming smaller for me.

So, I'm a little behind the times here... should I be moving away from torrent search sites to this new fangled spot stuff?

 

First holiday rental BBQ of the year.

These are always an adventure, broken legs, crumbling gas pipes, spiders and snails in all the crevices...

In this case, it's not too bad, just lit the fire so we'll see if it explodes / melts...

And... just burgers, sausages and halloumi for this one, nothing too adventurous

Wow.

I never knew wordwrap was a vulnerability scanner until now 🤭

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

To be fair, the link's just to git comments, so the headline captures the main point.

+1 for this.

You need to see all the data flowing through a sensor to be able to map it, so a router / firewall is often the central point.

I run it as an addon for pfSense and it'll show me all sorts of info.

If you setup the GeoIP you can see which countries your network's connecting too... interesting for torrents...

Sounds like TR-069 / CWMP vulnerabilities are still around

Weird advice to use a password between 16 & 64 characters... I guess that's US Gov's password cracking limit /s

I work indoors, so rarely see the sun, so I'm deathly pale.

I'll come out on weekends, do some gardening, cut down a tree, etc. and be ok, but go to the beach and I'll be 🦞

A week later, it'll have peeled off and I'll repeat.

By the end of the Summer though, I won't burn as easily and have enouth colour to be classed as having a healthy colour.

 

It's already 25DegC in my home office.

The best cooling automation I have so far is to turn the fan on when it's 25 for >5mins.

Is there a nice zigbee / ESP32 evaporation cooler that I can enjoying setting up with HA?

 

Just found my Vivaldi update contained a little more than just bugfixes... it now has Proton VPN built in.

It's actually part of the browser, not an extension, so I'm in two minds whether I like that... or not.

You need either a Vivaldi account or a Proton account, so it's not completely anonymous, but it's a start.

The free-tier of Proton VPN also appears to be bandwidth limited and your exit point is randomised, so... yeah, it's ok...

 

"On 11th November BBC iPlayer will no longer be available directly on this device."

OK, so, I didn't purchase this particular (Blaupunkt) TV, but as it's my mother's then, well, I'm the one that has to "fix" this.

Personally, I use TVs as a simple screen and watch everything through other devices (Roku, or a Linux PC running MythTV).

I see the BBC website has some links to review sites, but I thought this might be another place to ask for - preferably open source - devices that could be used.

Comments?

As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

NAS vulnerabilities (www.theregister.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by Cyber@feddit.uk to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here...

It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed.

Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: CVE-2024-2947 - just an example, not bashing that project at all.

I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of

 

Before I dive headlong into debugging and throwing bug tickets around, I just needed a sanity check from someone else..

I have an old Lenovo laptop as my daily driver / experimentation box (ie it gets a lot of paclages installed and removed)

Recently I've been using Vivaldi's built-in calendar to use as a CalDAV client for my radicale installation.

It's the only open tab and Vivaldi's using ~20% CPU (according to htop)... actually, I just closed that tab... even with 1 blank tab the CPU's the same.

Is this just my battle weary laptop needing a good clean, or can someone else confirm?

TIA

 

pfSense... Anyone have much experience with the new Kea DHCP server?

I'm using 2.7.2 (Community Edition) on a fairly good Celeron based system that's not heavily loaded, but I have 7 network segments (VLANs and physical interfaces), so I have 7 DHCP pools / configs.

Just adding 1 more static reservation can cause a significant delay when reloading the service and because I register static reservations in DNS, the network loses DNS so I "break the internet" for a short while.

Would Kea fix this?

Well, as the title says, I've had a few notifications that alerted over night and I'm wanting to sleep instead

These are ntfy alerts, but driven by Uptime Kuma... and I can't find a programmatic / config option that says "don't notify between 11pm and 7am" (but willing to admit I've just not found it... yet...)

I need my (Android, ofc) phone to be on in case of family calls / messages, so I can't use "Do Not Disturb", and remembering to manually mute the ntfy app each night just doesn't make sense to me - computers are quite capable of automating my requirements for me.

So... any pointers? I'm sure you're not all getting alerts at 2am because your ISP dropped a few packets...

 

I secure systems for my day job. That means installing AV software, ensuring Windows Firewall is ON, etc. (Plus many other things...)

I've seen discussions around disk encryption here, but I don't recall much about a malware protection. Maybe a little about personal (desktop) firewalls.

I'm aware of Clam, etc, but is anyone actually using these tools much?

Or are we just presuming we're all immune from the bad guys targeting Windows?

 

So, I've had it up to here (^^^) with the family using WhatsApp, etc and I'm heading off into the land of XMPP to find a better solution.

I've got a Pi3 hanging off my pfSense firewall acting as a kinda DMZ box, so thought I could setup an XMPP server on it (Prosody?)

Any advice? Will the Pi crumble (see what I did there) under the pressure of 4 people using it?

Issues with proxying outside with a Lets Encrypt cert on the pfSense box, but maybe not inside the network?

"Better" server software?

Thanks
