Why not save time and do it the other way?
Install the minimal/netinstall image, and then add what you need.
You’ll probably spend less time adding than trying to figure out what’s installed that you do or don’t need and trying to remove random packages without breaking anything.
I’m not sure I buy that: Trump is a cult, and his cultists are going to have an absolute riotous fit if someone tries to depose him.
Short of him dying or doing something you just can’t ignore - like, say, he eats shit out of his diaper on national tv - he’s not going anywhere.
Vance isn’t smart enough to 6D chess his way into the presidency without his nominal constituency rioting over it, so I’m doubtful that’s his play.
He’s probably just going to pull the last-guy-in-the-room thing, since that’s the only person Trump listens to or remembers anyway which means you keep the cultists happy AND you get the figurehead to do what you want anyways without the mess.
Yeah, it makes federation, especially if you run your own server and don’t have a large user base, largely broken.
You’ll end up getting a shockingly small amount of replies to people you follow’s posts, which (for me) is the whole reason I’m here.
It almost forces you onto a larger server if you want a reasonable experience (or you have to start ingesting huge amounts of data via relays), but I mean, at that point why not just use bluesky instead?
Mastodon is, like, fine, but it has one gaping flaw that makes it utterly unusable for me.
Basically, the issue is you cannot be assured that any particular instance contains the entire conversation thread/replies, because they’re not necessarily sent to every server participating in the conversation.
Bluesky fixes that by the ‘firehose’ feeds federating out to the PDSes and providing complete reply chains, which just flat out makes it a better experience since you can actually see what everyone is saying, not just what people on servers you might be following already are saying.
It’s a giant stupid flaw in Mastodon (since other AP based platforms such as, for example, Lemmy don’t have it) and really should be addressed since it makes the platform darn near useless since why am I following people to only get half of what might be a useful thread?
Because Trump voters are poorly educated, and frankly, stupid.
You heard something about eating cats and dogs, they heard someone telling them that Those people they don’t like are doing horrible things, and he will make things even with Those people.
Literally a dog whistle, but you have to be a blithering moron to understand it, because anyone who isn’t just hears a senile old dumbass saying stupid shit.
You meant $695 right? Apple has an image to protect, you know.
(For the people mad at me: Mac pro wheels.)
two commands: dd and resize2fs, assuming you’re using ext4 and not something more exotic.
one makes a block-level copy of one device to another like so: dd if=/dev/source-drive of=/dev/destination-drive
the other is used to resize the filesystem from whatever size it was, to whatever size you tell it (or the whole disk; I’d have to go read a manpage since it’s been a bit)
the dd is completely safe, but the resize2fs command can break things, but you’d still have the data on the original drive, so you could always start over if it does - i’d unplug the source drive before you start doing any expansion stuff.
I didn’t think the consumer-level chip immolation carried over to their xeons?
If it did, holy crap, they’re mega-ultra-turbo-plaid levels of screwed.
Yeah quicksync won’t help you there.
I thought nVidia’s limit was enforced by their drivers, but that’s probably changed since it’s been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).
dd then resize the fs?
Edit: one caveat here I forgot: if your fstab is using UUIDs, you’re going to have to update that, since the new drive won’t be the same UUID because, well, it’s not the same drive.
If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).
If not, well, it’ll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).
Wow, a commercial open source product that COULD have pulled a rugpull, looked for all the world like they were planning a rugpull, just uh, did the right thing?
Good job, Bitwarden.
Fair, but he said he wants to move from Windows to Linux, so I just assumed there wasn’t going to be any of those since, well, they’re not going to run in Linux anyways.
Not in a way you’re probably going to like.
You could set up a bare metal hypervisor on the system and set up a VM for your NAS, Windows, and Linux and swap between them as needed, but uh, that’s not really an exceedingly pleasant desktop use case, for a number of reasons, one of which is that you really won’t have the normal ‘sit down, and use the computer’ desktop experience.
Alternate option: run the NAS and either the Linux or Windows install in a VM, and keep it booted into, say, the desktop Linux environment with everything else being a virtualized setup.
Since android apps are required, I’d maybe go about this another way: find the app you like the most, then stand up whatever backend it uses for sync.
I was already in the FreshRSS ecosystem, but man, I don’t really like any of the android apps on offer, but swapping at this point would be annoying (bookmarks, saved stories, etc.)
good ideia to run restic as root
As a general rule, run absolutely nothing as root unless there’s absolutely no other way to do what you’re trying to do. And, frankly, there’s maybe a dozen things that must be root, at most.
One of the biggest hardening things you can do for yourself is to always, always run everything as the lowest privilege level you can to accomplish what you need.
If all your data is owned by a user, run the backup tool as that user.
If it’s owned by several non-priviliged users, then you want to make sure that the group permissions let you access it.
As a related note, this also applies to containers and software you’re running: you shouldn’t run docker containers as root unless they specifically MUST have a permission that only root has, and I personally don’t run internet facing ones as the same user as all the others: if something gets popped, then they not only do not have root permissions, but they’re also siloed into their own data in the event of a container escape.
My expectation is that, at some point, I’ll miss a CVE and get pwnt, so the goal is to reduce how much damage someone can do when that happens, rather than assume I’m going to be able to keep it from happening at all, so everything is focused on ‘once this is compromised, how can i make the compromise useless to the attacker’.
Unifi Gateway Ultra
How have you liked the gateway? Any stupid decisions that have annoyed?
My USG has decided that, after a decade, it’s going to be flaky and crash if it wants to (even after replacing it’s 4th dead PSU and 2nd USB stick) and I’m thinking it’s probably time to upgrade.
I’ll admit to both liking the Unifi ecosystem and firmly not trusting the Unifi ecosystem one damn bit, which is bit of a weird situation where I’ve been really really unwilling to upgrade anything because that hasn’t always gone uh, smoothly.
Granite Rapids is probably going win some of that back: a lot of the largest purchasers of x86 chips in the datacenter were buying Epycs because you could stuff more cores into a given amount of rack space than you could with Intel, but the Granite Rapids stuff has flipped that back the other way.
I’m sure AMD will respond with EVEN MORE CORES, and we’ll just flop around with however many cores you can stuff into $15,000 CPUs and thus who is outselling whom.
100%.
I see a CLA or a goofy “source-available” license, I just assume it’s going to be a rugpull and that I should move on. I very much do not give anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore.
It’s not even that complicated: at some point the non-billionaire investors are going to want a return on their investment, and they’re going to push BlueSky, Inc. public and that’s the end of that.
An IPO is every bit as bad for independence as a nutjob buying your company, because you’re really just selling your company to every nutjob who puts up $10.
