I don’t believe small lithium batteries can explode like that. Not even big car batteries explode like that. They make a big fire but not this kind of explosion.

Either explosives were implanted somehow by IDF in the supply chain, or Hezbollah is crazy enough to put explosives there, just in case the devices fall in enemy hands, and IDF learned that and trigger the explosions remotely.

git is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.

Put some git fetch in a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the artillery noise.

Wait.

Does Portainer ask your email? I haven’t used it in years. I though it was just a container that you run, with mounted docker socket, and that’s it.

Is it now doing some “telemetry” and sending user data, like email, to their servers? If so, I’m glad I’m not using that anymore.

VPS + VPN is the cheapest option I believe for the services. It doesn’t have to be “elaborated”.

You can port-forward public VPS ports to your private addresses/ports. If you don’t want to use iptables you can use firewalld.

The only “but” will be latency. For gaming it won’t perform as you may need.

Dear hacker,

How did you get my camera to work on NetBSD? I’ll send whatever shitcoin you want.

It’s no longer open source. Big Deal in my books.

Vault features are cool. I really like it. But with Hashicorp now there is this big risk of “rug pulling” regarding its license.

The wise thing, in my opinion, is to avoid this company as much as possible.

Parallel Desktop

There are several FOSS alternatives. All of them are more popular that Parallels.

Nobody likes Adobe, nobody wants to work with Adobe. Nobody can avoid Photoshop. That’s just the world we live in and I don’t like it.

This sounds like Stockholm syndrome. You are just too familiar with Photoshop, so using anything else is hard and less efficient.

In photography there is this mantra about “the most important part is right behind the camera”. A good photographer is not a good Nikon user, or good Canon user. A good photographer can deliver decent pictures with a potato camera if needed.

Sure, a potato camera is less efficient for any work that an actual good one. So it’s good to invest in a good brand. But the point is: if you are not capable to make average results with a potato software, the problem is not in the software.

If your comments have been federated to other instances, they will be there until they are deleted locally. If someone clicks on your user profile, they will get a DNS error if the domain is no longer there. Images in the comments pointing to you instance will be broken too. Nothing terrible actually happens.

Migrating accounts a la Mastodon is not happening soon in Lemmy.

My advice is: Go on and save some money.

I’m too lazy to label them. So, I usually keep the PDs connected to the charger and that’s it.

But if it becomes a problem I’ll probably use a wire labeler.

It would be nice if they came labeled from factory, though.

Sorry to read that.

I’ve dded an external drive instead of an SD card once by mistake. I’ve never felt more stupid than that day.

Friends don’t let friends to use snap.

I used to love Ubuntu. But for many reasons, snaps among them, it no longer exists to me. It’s just Mint or Debian if I need something Ubuntu-like.

It’s running NetBSD, isn’t it?

Some security tips:

Firewall should block everything by default, and you start allowing incoming and outgoing connections when you need them or if something fails.

Disable passwords and root access in ssh daemon.

Use fail2ban or something similar to block bots failing to log-in.

Use random long passwords for everything (eg: like databases). And put then in a password manager. If you can remember the database password, it’s not strong enough. If you can remember the admin password for a public web service, it’s weak.

Don’t repeat the passwords. Everything should have its own random long password.

.env files and files with secrets should be readable only by its service user. Chmod them to 400.

Monitor logs from time to time to see if something funny is happening.
