Raspberry as NAS, multiple HDDs and an enclosure

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions. In the end I decided to buy a icy box usb3.1 4xhdd enclosure for around 100€. In the description it says it only works with mac and windows, but my Linux laptop works well with it, I guess the pi will to as well. I will print an enclosure for the power brick and the pi to screw to the...

Geekworm offers a HAT and an enclosure for 2HDD and the Pi, that might suit you

Why has the world gone to shit?

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in...

x3i,

Wtf I didn’t know that there is a clear reason for corpos getting political! Thank you for this, I really had no idea about it!

x3i,

Well yes but I am not sure that this is the main problem with flatpak containers.

I’d rather point out that this approach creates a bigger attack surface since the containers tend to ship with outdated versions of libraries, frameworks and tools that the actual application relies on because it is now that specific app developer’s problem to update them inside of the container. So with this, even an up to date system is not really up to date and might suffer from severe vulnerabilities. I’d say it depends on your application, use case and threat scenario; containerization can make sense but is not the holy grail.

How to fool a laptop into thinking a monitor is connected?

Hello! I converted an old laptop with a broken screen into a home server, and it all works well except for one thing: when I reboot it (via ssh), if no screen is connected, it will get stuck and refuse to boot. as soon as I connect an HDMI monitor, the fans will start spinning and it will start booting as usual. Then I can...

x3i,

Did you take a little journey into the BIOS yet? Is definitely firmware, the question is if you can just change a setting there. Otherwise, somebody already mentioned dummy HDMI plugs.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

x3i,

Relied on an AUR package for building and signing my unified kernel image… one day it was outdated and geberating the image failed, I noticed that by the fact that the system refused to boot my OS. Fixing it was done in a few minutes but boy, that was a shock :D

Guess who also checks the exact output of the kernel rebuild now before rebooting!

can nix for gaming pirates lead to easy piracy

nix allows for flakes which are 100% reproducible (ie. you copy paste a flake it would do the intended stuff only) , this make me realize that now we can have flakes for games like do you want inscryption , sure add this flake and this would install all dependencies and lutris etc. and you just have to link us to the...

x3i,

I am not extremely familiar with nix and flakes but from my understanding, they create isolated environments like venv or containers, correct? Would that not mean having a separate wine install and especially separate Lutris install per Game? So no single Lutris that lists all games but a separate one for each, kindof defeats the purpose I think. I fail to see the benefit over just clicking it on the lutris website, so not sure if this would gain traction. Open for any suggestions and corrections though!

Anyone else hoping for new motorcycle laws in 2024?

Just curious to see if any of you out there have been observing any trends that might lead to new motorcycle legislation - for better or worse. I noticed that for 2024 Nebraska surprisingly repealed their motorcycle helmet law making it optional for wear. Definitely raised an eyebrow as they still criminalize lane splitting....

x3i,

Not sure if that is what you asked for or if you only meant in the US but anyway: Europe currently sees a rise in laws that forbid motorbikes on certain roads/areas based on their idle noise (completely idiotic), the weekday or just completely. Austria started some months ago with parts of Germany now following, it is getting slightly more hostile here for bikers…

x3i,

Similar reason for me. Although, as long as I could get a car without internet connectivity, I would even be fine with non-free software but even that is too much to ask nowadays. This also applies to gas or diesel powered cars though, so I will stick with my sedan from 2015 too, might even have the engine redone completely in a few years if there are no proper options by then.

x3i,

Did you contact your ISP about this? Most of them can adjust a setting for you to remove the NAT part, the feature is usually called dual-stack. If you are in the EU, you even have a fundamental right to use your own router, you just have to register your MAC with them.

Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...

x3i,

This will help: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows

Applies to PopOS the same way, except for installation steps involving pacman. I’d revommend going with systemd-boot instead of grub, not sure what Pop ships.

x3i,

Is this a US take? Serious question because in Europe, I see primarily SUVs being sold when it comes to EVs. Small and shitty ones yes, but still aiming to resemble at least the SUV look. E.g. VW ID3, ID4; these I see a lot on the streets over here. Big exception seem to be hybrids, they usually are sedans or hatchbacks.

Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?

I’m playing with a couple of routers and comparing proprietary to open source on the same hardware. I miss my .bashrc functions and aliases… and compgen, tree, manpages, detailed help, etc; the little things that get annoying when they are missing....

x3i,

Vim supports editing files through scp as well, no reason to cry here xD

x3i,

Yes, have it running and it works well. Nextcloud setup is sth that I will still have to set up but the only problem I see there is certificates. To debug Nebula, simply try executing it by hand, e.g. nebula --config /path/config.yml and see what the error message is. Or check your journalctl of course. Share the message here and we can have a look!

x3i,

I don’t see anything like that in this thread. If you want people’s help, help them help you and provide sufficient information about your problem.

x3i, (edited )

When you issued the netstat command, were the containers up or down? Issue it again after docker-compose stop. If you moved or renamed the compose file, the old conrainers would still run in the old context.

x3i,

Okay, then it simply has an issue with the addresses you are providing, as someone pointed out already, the issue likely is the 192.168.100 network. Find out where exactly you define localhost and 192.168.100.1 as addresses to listen to and change them to e.g. 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 instead (or ideally just 0.0.0.0 as this includes localhost as well). Restart the container afterwards, see if it works. Of course make a backup of your config first so you can go back.

x3i,

For me, two main aspects: I do not have to move my hands from the keyboard and I can pipe things from one tool into others, significantly speeding up many tasks

Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

So there are multiple sites&groups that pirate video games especially on PC. I was wondering if there are places on the internet where you find source code for games especially the highly modifiable ones like Half Life 2/Portal and Skyrim. Or groups that crack into the source code of games (or even software in general), not only...

x3i, (edited )

Well, source code is not sth that you “crack”, you can only reverse engineer it (I think it was done with Doom, also OpenRA) or steal it from the company’s servers. The use for it is also rather niche, so the risk vs gains ratio is not attractive enough to feed dedicated websites. You can also look at fully open source games like 0AD and check out what they did!

Edit: I stand corrected (thrice); Doom was indeed open-sourced, not reverse engineered. Thanks for pointing out!

x3i,

Correct. However, this looks like a direction that language processing and GPTs would excel in and to my knowledge, there already have been some ML addons made for certain RE tools, so this might become more easy in the future. If that is necessarily a good thing is a different story…

x3i,

Alternatively, there are also some options from pine64.com, maybe scroll through there! Same for odroid.nl

x3i,

Very nice! I am running an HC4 (I think; the toaster) now since last month and so far, it’s running much better than I thought! So yes, check that one first, then see if you have to upgrade and if you do, go for aarch64 or traditional x64 but not 32 bit arm

x3i,

Dafuq did I just read? Author has to a) visit a spelling and grammar course, b) structure their fucking thoughts. So the main point is that some guy is on drugs and leaking information? That could have been three sentences.

x3i,

1080 is totally sufficient, I’ll look into this, thanks!

x3i,

True but considering the costs, I would rather just buy the movies on DVD and rip them

x3i,

Not sure about private trackers but on public ones, I did not see them anywhere. Also chances are not that high since it is old material that never got translated into Englosh or other languages, so quite niche.
