  • Though I have something more to add here.

    Don’t unleash your army of clankers (I believe the formal term is ‘AI agents’) on this project; it’s already happening to many open source projects lately, and this one has just been revived. It doesn’t need to be inundated with hallucinations and pointless fixes.

    The maintainers also request that anyone opening a pull request for a bug fix show a way to reproduce the problem first.

    Yeah, the modern kiss of death to any project.

    I use LightDM on my daily driver and hadn’t noticed it hadn’t received any updates, but yep, it’s there in this morning’s batch, nice.




  • Hmmm… there’s a few different things going on here.

    As others have already said you don’t need a cert if you’re just messing around internally, you can use an internal TLD - .local is reserved for mdns, Avahi, etc. so that’s fine… personally, I use .home

    I use pfSense, but I presume that OPNSense has the same function in DHCP to provide the Domain Name in there, so any static mappings will respond to thing.home

    I also have HAProxy to resolve external httpS://IP:Port to an internal http://thing.home (note: no S internally)… this simplifies my setup, and I presume it could work internally too, but I’ve not set it up as DHCP solves that for me.

    I don’t use containers, instead each thing is it’s own VM, or physical machine, so I don’t know whether NAT (on proxmox) would resolve your issues with everything’s on 1 VM…?


  • My impression - not necessarily based on fact:

    he used to do good, useful, interesting videos back in the day…

    then he found he was getting a good income from yoochoob…

    then he started chasing the click bait

    If he’s doing anything useful now, I’d expect it’s because he’s lost a lot of viewers (income) … I don’t watch his new stuff, the thumbnails still look clickbaity to me, but maybe he’s going back to his original content…?

    To answer your implied question, I don’t subscribe to anyone. I just search around for whoever’s talking about the thing I’m now interested in (usually Lemmy’s the source of the new thing)… I check in with Tom Lawrence (Lawrence Systems) often, but that’s about it.


  • Yeah, I have 3 Ruckus APs scattered around the house and the devices are on their own SSID which I’ve VLANd off and blocked from the internet… until it’s time to do updates.

    The Zeros are in far corners of the house to get a better idea of which location people are with the Bluetooth detection, but in the end I just had to throttle their bandwidth (in the Zeros) and they seem more stable now… hopefully won’t impact you, so it’s just an FYI 🙂









  • Yeah, I installed it again yesterday…

    Seems really unintuitive after the initial setup steps (which do a good job of walking you through the initial setup), so I did bork it up once.

    I think the hardest point for me is that it’s based on Tiny Core Linux, so I can’t install anything else (ie even tmux), so I’m having issues with getting the touchscreen working.

    I’ll try Moode today…






  • I just hope you’ve got backups 🙂

    Seriously though, we found an old Dell server at work that hadn’t been rebooted for years.

    We knew that it was fine whilst it was running, but the stress of a reboot would finish it off with all those POST fan speed tests, RAID array tests, etc.

    We took as much data off it that we thought might be relevant and rebooted it.

    1 drive failed immediately. 1 fan must’ve had all the dust as that blew out a cloud during the fullspeed test.

    A few days later more drives started failing and it just gradually died.

    It was actually a sad day when we powered it off for the last time. 🥲
