I’m trying… I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd ringo.

I think this is a misconception.

In the 90s it may have been true - windows was focused on user experience on the desktop. Pre- internet, security just wasn’t relevant.

Even in that era though, Linux was running on servers in universities et cetera managing many users.

I guess this is where the reputation arose.

These days I don’t think either is inherently more secure than another in a general sense.

For specific uses cases one might be more “reliable” than another just because it’s used more and therefore has more people looking at it. For example, the vast majority of Web servers are in a Linux environment, but the vast majority of on premise email servers would be Windows.

What I’m saying is, in 2024 the general security of each platform is going to be comparable, and only a very small component in your chain of reliability. Like if you develop a threat model, and write policies, and maintain behaviours in practice, the underlying security provided by the environment isn’t really that relevant.

Nice. These look great.

Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.

oh man. This is perfect. Thankyou.

I was actually looking at these on amazon but I mistakenly thought that the term “temperature controlled” included in the product name was just SEO bullshit, referring to the mobo controlling the temperature.

I see now that these ones do it themselves.

This is the way.

perfect!

acinfinity is probably overkill for me but honestly very tempting.

I did see that thermostat pwm board on amazon. When you say a “standard 12v power adapter” do you mean as in… like a transformer plug with 12v output and the right amperage?

I’m open to whatever solutions might be available, and these guys look like they make awesome fans, but I think I need something much less awesome and more integrated.

Basically, I just need a 120mm PC fan, supply it with the right voltage, and thermostat.

sweet. thanks.

INPUT will need to be DOCKER-USER in your script but otherwise I’ll see how it goes.

ok. I hadn’t thought about that.

Are there alternatives? Or is an IPv6 block list not practically possible?

Thank you. I was looking at something like this.

I guess I was asking whether there’s a package or project which kinda creates this rule and keeps the ipset list updated.

If I create a rule like that, then next time I’m playing around with this I’m not going to be able to figure out what I’ve done.

I don’t think it’s really a big deal ?

We’re all playing around with things in the same domain. Does it really matter if someone is paid and someone else isn’t?

I don’t necessarily agree that a paid / qualified person will necessarily be operating at a higher level just generally than a hobbyist. Professionals tend to know lots about very specific things, hobbyists tend to invest a lot more time and effort into building elegant solutions.

Yes some answers from IT professionals may be unhelpful for hobbyists but that’s just part of interacting with other people.

Calling people incels makes you sound childish.

Don’t make me tell your mother what you said.

We live in a capitalist society though.

Finding the right solution will depend entirely on what kind of load you’re balancing.

I’m finding it hard to feel any kind of sympathy for someone who thinks they have rights to permanent access on any sort of streaming service.

I say that fully cognisant normies don’t spend much time thinking about where there data is and who has the right to it. I just don’t think many people would think of movies they’ve watched on their “telstra TV Box Office” as being in "their’ library.

That said, self hosting movies isn’t for me. For many people it might be. In my case it just doesn’t make any sense to have a server with all the tb. I was catch & release torrenting for several years but more recently stremio. Without any doubt stremio has been the most convenient.

I guess it depends what you’re in to but it doesn’t make much sense for me.

Most everything I do on servers now is in docker containers, and I back up the compose files and data from those so they can be deployed to a new server pretty easily.

Migrating between servers only happens once every several years. I feel like managing an ansible config would just be an additional layer of complexity rather than making it easier. Their isn’t much configuration outside of docker in my case anyway.

I could spend a lifetime setting up my self hosted stuff correctly.

The anti AI license is so lame.

I never tried hosting matrix because it was rumoured to be a bitch to host.

Yeah I have an OKI. It’s fine.

ooh ooh here in Australia we have “e-scripts”.

it’s just a UID. Any doctor or pharmacy or whatever can just look it up on the central database and dispense whether it’s been used and how many times et cetera.

Doctors love to print these as a QR-Code. I think there’s probably some therapeautic benefit to leaving your Drs office with a warm piece of paper entitling the bearer to some kind of magic beans.
