I was surprised to discover that if you run the robot vac once a day or even every second day it significantly reduces the amount of dust that ends up on other surfaces. You just schedule it and forget it. As everyone says it doesn't d

In my experience the bottle neck for any nextcloud install is typically the database. Unlike many other projects it's surprisingly easy to get in a situation where the db is throttling due to IO issues on a single box machine. Having t

Been running this for years. Absolutely fantastic, my vacuum has never touched the "cloud" and yet I can still run it remotely (or with "smart" run automations) via Homeassistant. It's the way IOT should be

Snap isn't the best experience for Nextcloud in my experience, fine for a demo or a single user instance that isn't mission critical. Users who expect more out of it will often bump up against its limitations. Anyone who wants to

Nextcloud suffers from flexibility, it's got a lot to offer but requires dialling in to your specific use case, the mistake most admins is to assume you can just run it without tuning, it has too many differing options to do that smoot

I can't agree that it's "a tool that isn't improving your security posture", if it's a layer on top of other tools, you might argue it's effectiveness isn't great but to say it's effectively noth

IMHO Fial2ban, just like port knocking, isn't cargo cult security. They are a single tool that can be included in a general system security arsenal, not the only tool you should use but one of a suite of tools that can be used dependin

Fwknop uses HMAC keys so quite good crypto by itself, but it's for single shot commands. Good for keeping the ssh port locked until you actually need it. I use it on top of SSH key pairs as part of my layered security, Just as any good

I use fwknop in a similar manner, the main advantage it has is it's using an encrypted UDP packet. It's ability to call shell scripts for more advanced uses is its best feature. I have a packet set up for a rolling restart of all

The domain now points to a GitHub project. It'll be interesting if enough Devs pick up the work

A fork is on GitHub and the domain tt-rss.org points to it. It'll be interesting to see if it gets significant development work

Sure but it really highlights that even big providers get black balled at seemingly random. I've had an email from a Microsoft email address come up in a spam list before. No one is safe.

But this is why I'm using Amazon's SES for sending my very low volume emails now. It's never been blocked, if they ever start causing me grief I can switch to a new email relay service in a matter of minutes if necessary.

Not really, I don't send many emails these days but find the ability to filter and run automations on emails coming into my server very useful. Not to mention I use a separate email per service so I can tell if there's a data brea

I've been self-hosting my email for over 10 years now (I'm going to link a bunch of my old comments on old email HN threads). I have fallen back to using Amazon's SES to send because all of Digital Ocean's IP blocks sudd

While Grist is a brilliant product, I really dislike the spreadsheet marketing they use. It's not in any way a spreadsheet, you can't use rows correctly and everything is stuck in columns. Not to mention the forms you use for inpu

Arguably the OS is the least important aspect. The greatest issues facing mobile computing are: 1. The lack of any open firmware 2. Locked bootloaders 3. Obnoxious security "features" a. Security attestation that is out of t

It's got some rough edges. I want to sit down and build it so I can add an id to the TOC so I can CSS style it to be floating and submit it upstream. I'm also having issues with integrating it with Authentik's header proxy au

That's cool, but I'm curious how you determine that the LED's output the right wavelengths for plant growth? I was under the impression you need specific types for grow lights and these look like standard off the shelf LEDs

IMHO It reads like a corporate communication that's been re-worked 3 or 4 times by several people. AI generated content always sounds like this because It's some of the most readily available content to train them on.

I would switch from obsidian to trilium if only they didn't block using h1 (aka # headings). I read the explination about it being reseved for the title on export but I really didn't find it compelling to break a basic note taking

I imagine it wouldn't be for the system admins to use, it's for all the other users who can use terminal applications but always treat ssh keys as a nuisance and try to avoid them as much as possible.

From the article "OPKSSH does not require any code changes to the SSH server or client." Looks like this is a sidecar application. So potentially very useful, also potentially very brittle.

That was related to Bluetooth. Interesting undocumented low level commands but it's a bit of a stretch to call it a vulnerability IMHO. But having the whole stack open would just be better in general.

Possibly because it's actually just "good enough" for most use cases? And if you truly require better accuracy, using a GPS units for high acuracy PTP is a thing.
