  • Seen a bunch of theories on this but the most likely one is that the washer ended up in a loop of failing firmware updates, downloading the same thing over and over again. It fits with the graph showing that it’s downloaded data. Could also straight up be a reporting bug in the router as someone else said.

  • It’s absolutely legal for a power company to know where their services are delivered, lol. Pretty sure they at the minimum absolutely need to know the connection ID that would uniquely identify your house and apartment. Not so sure that a generic info like rooms and square footage would even be considered personal data.

    Also, based on the other thread I think you would have an aneurysm if you knew how much info is publicly available in Sweden.

  • [Solved] What do I need to setup for an email-proxy?

    Jump

  • Best option is probably to look for providers that support custom domains, so you can point your domain directly to their mail servers. This usually require a paid subscription. Upside is that you retain control over your domain without having to host any email server.

    The problem is that by putting a mail relay in between, while technically possible will break the SPF and DKIM chain for all emails that you forward. I don't think there is a good way around this since they check against the senders domain (and assuming that you can't get the email provider to trust your relay server)

  • Yes, exactly. And by not paying for the subscription you agree to pay with your time.

  • It also comes down to whether or not it's reasonable to expect to be able to access streaming media for free. You are making a choice: listen to advertisements, or pay the subscription.

  • Kind of a stretch to call it getting scammed when he didn't pay anything...

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

  • This really has nothing to do with Smart TVs in itself though.. It's just a problem if you choose to play YouTube videos on your TV, which seems like a pretty reasonable thing to want to do.

    Running a contabo virtual server with 2 ips running a wordpress site via nginx. One Ip is running the website and the second IP I want for the docker mailcow.

    Jump

  • You can bind an exposed port to a specific IP by prefixing the IP address like this "-p xxx.xx.x.360:80:80". Should work in a compose file "ports" list as well.

    For outgoing traffic it's a bit trickier, but if you create a separate network I think it should be possible to inject an iptables SNAT rule to use a specific source IP. Might be handy to make sure you're sending emails from the correct IP but with your setup I would just make sure to use the primary IP as email egress..

  • Är det här sant? Rätt stort bombshell att släppa den 1:a April.

    Rätt dåligt aprilskämt för det är lite för seriöst, samtidigt så har jag inte sett någon annan rapportera om en så enorm läcka från ChatGPT, vilket borde blivit en enorm nyhet om det inte är påhittat.

  • Wait, is this actually a thing? They really announced a tool called EmDash on April 1st? I fully expected it be be a joke but there's a working playground and actual active GitHub repo and everything

  • Most of those sounds like limitations of your home instance. PieFed has no problem handling PNGs and upload size / time would depend on the instance settings (and hosting I suppose).

    You're right about the last one though, video upload support could be a lot better, but I don't think GIFs should be an issue (unless they're massive)

  • This is case in point though, there's no way a new Linux user is even going to consider that there is a choice of desktop environment. Of course different distributions is going to be the first one comes across as the most direct analog to Windows/macOS.

  • What are some TrueNAS alternatives?

    Jump

  • I've been running straight Ubuntu with ZFS-on-Linux since 18.04, and it has been smooth sailing. If you're running a lot of containerized things it's very convenient to just be able to bind mount ZFS dataset into containers.

    Normally I prefer CentOS/RockyLinux, or some other EL distribution, but in this case I really appreciate that Canonical isn't purist enough to ship ZFS as a loadable kernel module that is guaranteed to be in sync with the shipped kernel. And don't have to deal with DKMS.

  • What are some TrueNAS alternatives?

    Jump

  • I believe this doesn't apply to the Linux kernel. I mean there is a lot of products that include a Linux kernel and runs proprietary code on top.

    I'm not really certain about the legalities, but IIRC it has to do with Linux being licensed under GPLv2 instead of GPLv3(?)

  • How would you answer the "ecological" question on self hosting and federated networks ?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I think your friend is right, it's a question of economy of scale. As you scale up there will be less and less wasted resources in overhead. Once you reach the scale where you need hundreds or thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of servers to operate your site you'd likely be able to fairly efficiently dimension the amount of servers you have so that each server is pretty efficiently utilized. Youd only need to keep enough spare capacity to handle traffic bursts, which would also become smaller compared to the baseline load the larger your site becomes.

    Realistically most self-hosted setups will be mostly idle in terms of CPU capacity needed, with bursts as soon as the few users accesses the services.

    As for datacenters using optimized machines there is probably some truth to it. Looking at server CPUs they usually constrain power to each core to add more cores to the CPU. Compared to consumer CPUs where at least high-end CPUs crank the power to get the most single-core performance. This depends heavily on what kind of hardware you are self-hosting on though. If you are using a raspberry-pi your of course going to be in favor, same is probably true for miniPCs. However if you're using your old gaming computer with an older high-end CPU, your power efficiency is very likely sub-optimal.

    As a "fun" fact/anecdote, I recently calculated that my home server which pulls ~160W comes out as 115kWh in a month. This is a bit closer than I would like to the 150-200 kWh I spend on charging my plug-in hybrid each month.. To be fair though I had not invested much in power efficiency of this computer, running the old gaming computer approach and a lot of HDDs.

    That said there is plenty of other advantages with self-hosting, but I'm not sure the environmental angle works out as better overall.
