redxef,

I would really like to know how this graph was generated, because some expenditure per capita values have three different corresponding life expectancy values. Just look at Spain for example.

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

It was built in the early 12th century.

Do you encrypt your data drives?

Fellow selfhoster, do you encrypt your drives where you put data to avoid privacy problems in case of theft? If yes, how? How much does that impact performances? I selfhost (amongst other services) NextCloud where I keep my pictures, medical staff, …in short, private stuff and I know that it’s pretty difficult that a thief...

redxef,

Always, if nothing else it makes “wiping” them securely easier.

If a user is in the docker group they can also run docker commands.

Und ich hab letztens meinen Krichenaustritt per Mail und digital signiert an die BH geschickt und von denen nie auch nur irgendeinen Pieps gehört. Von der Kirche kam dann 2 Monate später die Frage, ob ichs mir nicht vielleicht doch anders überlegen wolle. Und das in einem Steinzeitstaat wie Österreich.

  • I usually use bash/python/perl if I can be sure that it will be available on all systems I intend to run the scripts. A notable exception for this would be alpine based containers, there it’s nearly exclusively #!/bin/sh.
  • Depending on the complexity I will either have a git repository for all random scripts I need and not test them, or a single repo per script with Integrationtests.
  • Depends, if they are specific to my setup, no, otherwise the git repository is public on my git server.
  • Usually no, because the servers are not always under my direct control, so the scripts that are on servers are specific to that server/the server fleet.
  • Regarding your last question in the list: You do you, I personally don’t, partly because of my previous point. A lot of servers are “cattle” provisioned and destroyed on a whim. I would have to sync those modifications to all machines to effectively use them, which is not always possible. So I also don’t do this on any personal devices, because I don’t want to build muscle memory that doesn’t apply everywhere.

OVH, reasonably priced, API for DNS management and existing certbot integration

redxef,

I wrote a small program for the arduino nano 2 years ago, it isn’t that fancy, a quickly hacked together led flash animation, but the Makefile works. You really just have to install the dependencies and adapt it for your project and it should work.

How often do you change your mobile phone plan?

I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit...

redxef,

I just switch providers, it’s easier to get a good deal than by staying and nagging customer support. Though I currently pay €10,- with my current provider because I also have fibre with them, so I’ll probably stay with them for the foreseeable future.

I switched ever couple of years.

redxef,

I’ve seen so many bots on lemmy summarising the contents of websites and blocked all of them, because of this. They are not reliable, and I still caught myself reading those. I don’t even want to know how many summaries which are in a post body are just generated by an LLM.

redxef,

If someone comes to me I’m more than happy to answer questions and help, but I won’t bring it up. People don’t like being told that their tool of choice is “bad” “not optimal” or anything like that. Even if it’s only their choice because they grew up with it or don’t want to learn anything new. And they still need to learn if it’s more than browsing the web.

Also I really don’t want to be the one they come running to once something doesn’t work the way they expected - or not at all. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to be tech support for my family and half of my friends.

redxef,

What firewall are you using? Docker doesn’t like non-iptables firewalls and it has been more than once that I changed my nftables config and really the whole networking stack to figure that out. I have a ubuntu server vm which had some iptables save-restore unit activated which was messing with my rules, that was fun to debug.

redxef,

Better check, you definitely already have a firewall running since docker needs it for NAT. A fresh debian has, as far as I know nftables and iptables-nft installed.

redxef,

You could install qemu-user and register it in binfmt in the vm, that lets you run programs for other architectures.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...

redxef,

Is anything keeping you from just reinstalling the system and mounting your home into it again (maybe the majority of your customisations live in /home too)? I feel that is a lot less of a hassle than copying files around.

In principle you should be able to restore your system by just copying all of the relevant files from the backup to their correct partitions - it can’t really get any worse if it doesn’t work.

For the future: A backup is only any good if you know how to restore it and tested that that actually works.

Regarding the permissions: If you do a cp fileA.txt fileB.txt fileB.txt will normally be owned by the creating user. So a sudo cp … will create the files as root.

I would personally use rsync with a few additional options, archive among them. This way the fs is restored exactly as it was. But that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if the files weren’t copied that way too.

redxef,

Important question, do they mean

  1. 63V_Earth <= V_Uranus, 64V_Earth > V_Uranus

or

  1. They actually considered sphere packing and thus 64V_Earth <= V_Uranus

Nouveau is stable and runs, but don’t expect the best performance. The official NVIDIA driver is unstable, lacks proper wayland support but has decent performance. I’d go with anything but a NVIDIA GPU.

I got a bunch of the Seagate Exos x18. Greate price/TB and performance. Though they were only the 16TB SATA variant and not the SAS one.
