ASMedia is the only controller IC manufacturer that can be trusted for these IME. They also have the best Linux support compared to the other options and support pass-through commands. These are commonly found in USB DAS enclosures, and a very small fraction of single disk SATA enclosures

Innostor controllers max out at SATA 2 and lock up when you issue pass-through commands (e.g. to read SMART data). These also return an incorrect serial number. These are commonly found in ultra cheap desktop hard drive docks, and 40pin IDE/44pin IDE/SATA to USB converters

JMicron controllers (not affiliated with the reputable Micron) should be avoided unless you know what you are doing… UASP is flaky, and there are hacky kernel boot time parameters required to get these working on Raspberry Pi boards. Unfortunately these are the most popular ones on the market due to very low cost

Probably not.

However, not all USB to SATA adapters support SMART, so even if there is a bad sector that gets remapped by the HDD on-the-fly (and thus does not show up in the software scan), you may not find out easily

Really nice to see improcements being made to local voice control.

I personally haven’t opted for it yet due to the computing reqirements - instead been looking into dedicated offline voice recognition modules, since they use much less power. Downside is that they recognise a mostly predefined set of commands, and are just looking for patterns in speech instead of actually performing voice recognition

Would be interesting to compare the two voice control approaches side by side at some point

I wholeheartedly agree with this tbh. Love FreeCAD for my 3D printing stuff, pretty much use it daily, however compared to something like Solidworks or AutoCAD it would be torture IMO to willingly chose FreeCAD for a complex real world product.

The biggest roadblock for FreeCAD right now is that is isn’t that forgiving, you often have to go into a “technical” way of thinking to work around its quirks. The reality is, designers want to design, not become technical experts at navigating FreeCAD.

Even something like creating a thread shouldn’t be as involved as FreeCAD makes it - once you get used to it it’s OK, but in other CAD solutions it’s often as simple as clicking a hole and choosing a thread creation tool…

I’m probably an outlier lol, I installed the Windows version of 7zip (via wine) alongside the native Linux version just to have a GUI for setting the compression parameters if I’m creating a new archive from the file manager

Steam deck is the only linux device that does AFAIK, via their in-house compositor Gamescope.

It’s on GitHub, but I have a feeling some of the HDR specfics that would be needed for an open source linux implementation could be at the ransom of some standards body, like 4K 120fps support on AMD graphics cards under Linux

I used to use MQTT, static_status and Healthchecks.io, and have that data passed through to Home Assistant, but it started to get pretty cumbersome as the amount of machines I had grew.

I now use just Zabbix and HealthchecksIO. I did need to spend some time writing new templates for some additional data I wanted to collect (like SMART data for SSDs that provide health metrics in non-standard attributes, and HealthchecksIO so I could see the status of various checks on my zabbix dashboard)

Zabbix also has some additional features I found appealing, like proxies that can continue recording data when the main server is down, and built in encryption. Some checks like open ports/icmp responses etc can be checked using either the local agent, the remote server, or both, which helps quickly diagnose things like firewall config issues.

I did look at some other solutions, but I wanted something integrated to hit the ground running. Mobile apps are very limited, and there is no official one to my knowledge. I use Moobix which I don’t believe is FOSS - but I could be wrong there

Try each solution out and see what works best for you!

Most likely this IMO, with all the driver and executable signing/integrity checks nowadays I doubt they can get away with patching the system files a la Windows XP style.

The Telemetry collection service does a good job of that already, especially on laptops where it wakes them from sleep, and eats through the battery while idle in a backpack. I’ve been stung by this many times since Windows 8 - I now unplug then hibernate my last remaining Windows laptop, work-issued.

Also moved as much personal gear as possible over to various Linux distros a while ago, except my PC where some games cannot detect my sim peripherals & freetrack emulation under WINE

Ubuntu -> Mandriva -> Zorin -> Ubuntu -> Debian

Something is wrong with the tagginator in this thread, seems to be creating dupe posts every 1 min?

Yepp sorry - what I meant was bundling multiple different root domains, e.g. example.com & example1234567.org in the same cert.

I currently do as you mentioned above, renewing with just one root bundled with its accompanying subdomain wildcard.

If anyone is interested in mitigation, the only way around this AFAIK is to start with a brand new domain, only use wildcard certs (with DNS validation), and don’t bundle multiple renewals into a single cert.

Also, don’t enter your domain or related IP address into dns reverse engineering tools (like dnsdumpster), and check certificate transparency logs (https://crt.sh) to see what information related to your cert renewals has been published.

This won’t stop automated bots from scanning your ip for domains, but should significantly reduce the amount of bots that discover them

Curious about your reasoning, especially as I bought a .dev for myself a while back (via a different registrar)

If it was in regards to the .zip TLD then I guess that is understandable, but .dev seems harmless IMO

Not exactly IMO, as containers themselves can simultaneously access devices and filesystems from the host system natively (such as VAAPI devices used for hardware encoding & decoding) or even the docker socket to control the host system’s Docker daemon.

They also can launch directly into a program you specify, bypassing any kind of init system requirement.

OC’s suggestion of a chroot jail is the closest explanation I can think of too, if things were to be simplified

About 150w total, trying to bring it down since electricity here is pretty expensive.

4 machines: two 4th gen i5, one 6th gen Nuc (Have two more but not set them up yet), and one HP thin client. Also two UPSes, and 3 cameras (previously four, but one was accidentally damaged).

Hosting Home Assistant, Zabbix, Palworld, SMB, Transmission, Plex and a bunch of other misc stuff.

Kind of contemplating moving everything to a 10th gen Nuc, but thinking a Ryzen based mini pc might be a better option

AFAIK their original mission was along the lines of making computers accessible at a low price point, particularly targeting the education sector in parts of the world where computers weren’t very accessible or affordable. Comparable to the OLPC, but not on an individual basis

I could be wrong though

A lot of the libcamera work done on Raspberry Pi boards is going towards improving the camera support on linux phones like the PinePhone, which is great!

Aside from that, sadly a lot of people (including myself) are kind of fed up with Raspberry Pi, after they essentially abandoned their mission during Covid to please corporations, and are preparing to go public despite being a “charity”. Broadcom, their SoC supplier, also has left a sour taste in my mouth after their purchase and mass layoffs at VMWare.

If they created a phone it would likely end up being scalped to death, and maybe pretty pricey compared to a PinePhone

Sounds like a very neat feature, but IMO still not great for people outside of the discord server esp. if the threads can’t show up in a search engine

Oh really? Must have announced that since I stopped watching LMG. She (they?) are still on the show?

Not the OCer, but the last time I saw Emily was in a video posted to their personal channel. I stopped watching LTT a while ago so no idea if there’s been any presence in videos since then.

Kind of miss the linux videos and more in-depth tech content. And some of the other interesting personalities like Luke, Riley, Jake etc.

The thing with LTT is, on top of the well known controversies, LTT’s current production themes aren’t of much interest to me personally, not helped by the PC hardware market being so stagnant. Instead of upgrading my ancient 1060, I opted to purchase a Steam Deck instead - mainly because it runs Linux, supports Steam Input, supports charge limiting on the internal BMS, and given Valve’s track record with obsolete devices (my two Steam Link boxes still recieve updates, and they were discontinued years ago) I was pretty firmly sold.

The games that won’t work on my Deck are games that I wouldn’t purchase anyway (Not a fan of DRM), and every single “unsupported” game that I’ve been interested in so far has worked just fine under Proton-GE. One demo game didn’t support the Deck’s 1280x800 resolution, so I just changed the Gamescope virtual resolution to 1080p in Steam’s game settings, and that solved it.
