To delegate the responsibility of securing login data to a company better equipped to deal with it (in theory at least). You can also use an external OIDC provider.

Not as glamorous if you consider that Liz Truss lasted 3.5 Concords in office, and a rotting head of lettuce exceeded even that.

Destiny is on life support, Hunters Gathering is dead on arrival, Marathon's future is bleak, Concord is Concord, and the one studio that could've printed them easy money is dead because the sorry excuse of a circus that is Sony leadership really wanted a live service God Of War title. Gee, I wonder why sales are low.

I bought my current car with ~69000 kilometres in it (which may or may not have influenced my choice), but got complacent and missed 80085.

Tailscale. Create an account, put the client on the LAN device, put the client on the remote device, log in on both, you're done. It bypasses NAT, CGNAT, and the firewall through some UDP black magic fuckery. As long as the router allows outgoing connections, it will work.

If the factory resets cause the router to lose connection to the ISP, though, then nothing will work.

Tailscale Funnel will let you expose a host to everyone on the internet. You'll need the Tailscale client running on either the Jellyfin host or a reverse proxy pointing to it. Tailscale itself will act as a reverse proxy with TLS encryption, plus a DNS server.

Exposing a service to the internet will always present some risk. You should definitely run your LXCs as unprivileged, unless needed otherwise, to mitigate the potential damage if an attacker escapes the container, or put the services in full virtual machines.

external access

Do you want the Jellyfin server to be accessible from only within your tailnet, or anywhere from the internet?

I agree completely. There's only one chance to make a first impression. The final ad slot of TGA needs a worthy game that the audience can be excited about, and putting the most generic, most corporate-looking game there felt like an insult. Kind of like this absolute flop.

Not a lot, just enough to get the feel of the game, but also to realize that I'm not the target audience. In some ways, it's similar to Counter-Strike 1.6 or Team Fortress 2 back in high school: if I have a group of friends and an hour of free time, then sure, I might hop on. But I won't be investing the time and long-term effort that an extraction shooter expects of me.

The moment to moment experience is good. Bungie haven't forgotten how to create a tight FPS experience. But the game needs both longevity and a healthy playerbase, that's what concerns me. Fans of hardcore extraction shooters already have Tarkov and Hunt, and casual players already have Arc Raiders. It takes something exceptional to move players out of their "home" game.

I don't see how this would be a grift. Tencent's funding seems to have been contingent on some kind of metric, and they pulled out because Highguard fell short.

Archived article: https://archive.md/HONwC

They'll release one more update (my guess is whatever release-ready content they've already got), then the servers will shut down next Thursday.

"We don't need player counts to be super huge in order to be successful" is starting to ring hollow.

 

I've found the solution, and it's exactly as stupid and obvious as I was expecting.

The classroom computers were deployed using Clonezilla from an image that had the VirtualBox VM pre-configured. As a result of this, every VM had the same MAC address, which probably caused a lot of ARP collisions, since all the hosts and VMs were essentially on the same broadcast domain.

The solution was to simply randomize each VM's MAC address. After that, ICMP, SSH, and HTTP worked as expected. Thanks for the suggestions, but it was caused by my own oversight in the end.

(edit) I got around to reading the comments just now, @maxy@piefed.social was totally correct.


I know this isn't "selfhosting" as most people imagine it, but it is about hosting services on own hardware, hence why I'm posting in this community.

I'm supposed to help a teacher set up a networking exercise where pairs of computers are connected directly on a crossover cable and can access services (echo, HTTP, SSH, FTP) on each other. Every computer is identical: Windows 10 host, one VirtualBox VM running Linux Mint with a bridged adapter in promiscuous mode. Each host and VM has its own static link-local IP address.

The problem is, the VMs can't talk to each other, and I don't know why.

From one VM, I can ping itself, its host, and the remote host, but not the remote VM. Each host can ping itself, the local VM, the remote host, but not the remote VM. I've tried connecting both hosts to a layer-2 switch, with the same result.

Can someone point me at the one thing that I'm obviously doing wrong?

(edit) I've also tried to set the default gateway to the host's, remote host's, and remote VM's address, but nothing changed.


Running Linux on metal isn't an option. In the past, the classroom computers used to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, but the Windows install got so bloated (the software too, not just Windows) that it needs the full SSD.

 

An interesting and important look at the development of Factorio's Linux-native port from an actual developer: the platform in general, Wayland, GNOME's bullshit, and dependencies.

 

35000 power-on hours. SMART still reports it as OK.

Time to figure out how to rebuild a RAID 5 array. The other two drives are probably nearly cooked too, but I have plenty of spares that I got for free.

 

Somebody accidentally deleted most of the system. There were no executables for any shells, text editors, or utilities. All they had was a single terminal that was still logged in as root. I think they had to manually type in some executable's machine code and echo it into a file.

 

I've been reading a lot about massive stellar objects, degenerate matter, and how the Pauli exclusion principle works at that scale. One thing I don't understand is what it means for two particles to occupy the same quantum state, or what a quantum state really is.

My background in computers probably isn't helping either. When I think of what "state" means, I imagine a class or a structure. It has a spin field, an energy_level field, and whatever else is required by the model. Two such instances would be indistinguishable if all of their properties were equal. Is this in any way relevant to what a quantum state is, or should I completely abandon this idea?

How many properties does it take to describe, for example, an electron? What kind of precision does it take to tell whether the two states are identical?

Is it even possible to explain it in an intuitive manner?

I'm getting this error that says Error. I can't tell if I fat-fingered the community name in the URL, or it got removed, or it doesn't exist in the first place, or maybe there's a legitimate issue with the software, but I hope it's useful!

I need to clarify because some people apparently never encountered the error page: it used to show the actual error. It was later changed to not do that.

(apologies for the atrocious aspect ratio)

 

Minecraft and Factorio ain't shit next to Conway's Game Of Life.

Low effort meme while flatpak update finishes.

I understand why having eight very specific versions of the same library is important. Doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

TranscriptFLATPAK EMPLOYEE: what would u like?
ME: one flatpak update please
FPE: so u want "a whole bag of updates?"
ME: no, just a "flatp-"
FPE: I definitely heard "more updates than u could ever handle"
ME: please, no--
FPE: JERRY, FOIST UPON THIS MAN "A FUCKASS LOAD AMOUNT OF UPDATES"

It's a Creative Zen Stone that I got as a Christmas gift in 2008. I just found it in a drawer, and it's still holding charge. The last thing I put on it was The Life And Times Of Scrooge by Tuomas Holopainen, in 2015 -- I don't know why, at that time I definitely had a smartphone.

It has a headphone jack, which immediately makes it better than every smartphone produced in the last several years, and it can easily drive my 80-ohm Beyerdynamic. The audio quality is as good as one can expect. The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.

Let me reiterate that this has been sitting untouched for a decade and was immediately ready for action. No login, no annoying software updates, expired subscription, or remote bricking by the manufacturer. Eat my shorts, Spotify Car Thing.

P.s. A Lifetime Of Adventure is a banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWwSVOo5K_k
