Boycotting FOSS projects in the wake of the "buy canadian/european" movement makes no sense in c/[email protected]

Well, if it's buy European how can open source fit in?

Decentralized Search Engine in c/selfhosted

[–] peregus 2 points 3 days ago

If you host a system that uses the Google APIs, it seems to me that you don't get any privacy gain since being you the only one using it, Google knows it's you. I've been using startpage for a year now and I've been happy about it; I've never had to use Google anymore.

Rant! 100GB Log file in Nextcloud. in c/selfhosted

Right, I should probably map the file directly to the system log folder. I'll try that.

Be too, and I went back to the standalone community container

The ~~price rboem~~ problem is that the log file is inside the container in the www folder.

The fact (IMHO) is that the logs shouldn't be there, in a persistent volume.

Email provider for home server alerts in c/selfhosted

I use SMTP2GO (with my own domain) with the free plan (1000 email per month) that's way over a selfhoster needs.

Seagate's fraudulent hard drives scandal deepens as clues point at Chinese Chia mining farms in c/selfhosted

[–] peregus 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've read the article and I couldn't see any implication of Seagate. I'm not saying anything about your story, shame on Seagate, but I don't see what that has to do with the scandal in the article.

How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services? in c/selfhosted

[–] peregus 1 points 3 weeks ago

The entire point of selfhost is to host private services not available to the public
Probably your entire point, a lot of self hosters self host services that family members and friends can reach most of the time without the need of a VPN. This very community is full of examples.

It’s infinitely more secure

I'm with you about that.

There’s simply no room for an argument.

As stated in the other post, I'm sorry about that, I'm here to discuss and learn, if you don't have room for an argument, our discussion ends here.

VPN is objectively better in all possible situations.

Exactly! in all possible situation!!!

[–] peregus 1 points 3 weeks ago

Only a hardware firewall would do this. If it’s software, like implied in your post, no traffic is filtered and all connections are accepted.

Talking abut netfilter, since it manages also the forwardning, it for some strange reason it should crash, NO IP traffic is flowing

VPN is the least amount of work for the most secure setup. There’s nothing to even argue, its superior in every way.

If there's nothing to even argue, then I say goodby to you since I'm here to discuss. All the best!

Well...if you edit your post after someone has replied to it at least specify what's you've edited and don't pretend that the answer that somebody else has already given you wasn't about your non edited post!
If you (my mistake) wrote VPS instead of VPN, you can't pretend that I've answered about VPN!
If you can convince your family member and your friends to use a VPN to use your service, that's good for you, and I mean it!
But saying that it's quite impossible to do that, I think that I'm speaking for 99% of the self hoster (is this correct in English? Bah, you got me!)

Lemmy.ml and its moderation, am I getting something wrong? (self.yepowertrippinbastards)

submitted 1 month ago by peregus to c/[email protected]

66 comments fedilink

Yesterday I was reading the post about the FUTO keyboard where there were a lot of messages deleted by moderators.
I've commented there

What the heck happened with all the messages deleted by moderator?

And it got deleted. Right now you can only see 4, but I've counted 19 messages moderated and the post has been locked. Why?
I've had a look ad the modlog and the messages don't seems to violate any policy (now they've removed them in the modlog too).

I'm pinging here lemmy.ml admin and the mods of the open source community where the post was posted so they can have their say about it and clarify the situation to me.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

If I'm getting something wrong, please let me know, I'm here to discus and understand if I'm getting something wrong or if something went wrong in the moderation. Thanks!

Down here you can see the deleted comments.

P.s. I'm writing here because I think that this post on lemmy.ml wouldn't last long.

Looking for an orders and stuff tracking software to self host (self.selfhosted)

submitted 1 month ago by peregus to c/selfhosted

19 comments fedilink

Hi all!
I often struggle to remember where/if I've ordered a product (my email account is a mess, my own fault!), how much I've paid and if it was for me or for some member of my family. Is there a self hosted service that you've tried and find helpful that can do this kind of job?

Shelly devices not discovered (self.homeassistant)

submitted 2 months ago by peregus to c/homeassistant

11 comments fedilink

Hi all! I have a HA server in my LAN and all my IoT devices are in a separate VLAN. In this way to insert all the devices I have to configure them all manually using MQTT commands. Since I'm fed up about this method, I've added a second NIC to the HA VM (Proxmox) that is in the IoT VLAN. When I enter the terminal I see that HA has 2 IPs, one for each network and I thought that all the Shelly (they use the same MQTT broker that uses HA, they're not configured for cloud connection and ColoT is enabled) devices would appear in HA, but...they don't. How do you think that I can troubleshoot this problem?

Immich: upload also duplicates (self.selfhosted)

submitted 2 months ago by peregus to c/selfhosted

1 comments fedilink

Hi all! I've just installed Immich and so far I love it! I'm trying to upload about 1000 pictures, but in the upload process (web UI) automatically evaluates the duplicates and don't upload them. The ones that it evaluates as duplicates are not real duplicates, but are rather very similar pictures that I prefer to decide myself which one to keep. Is it possible to disable the duplicate recognition during upload? Thanks!

E5-2620 v2 vs i7-6700k (self.selfhosted)

submitted 2 months ago by peregus to c/selfhosted

18 comments fedilink

Hi everybody!
I want to move my selfhosted services from a VPS to a PC in my house.
I have an E5-2620 and a it-6700K, which one would you pick and why?
The E5 already has 2 PCI-X each with 4 NIC (that I need to use with OpnSense to share my Internet connection with my neighbor) that I would need to throw away and buy as PCIe for the i7.
Thanks!

[Solved] Konsole menu is missing (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by peregus to c/[email protected]

20 comments fedilink

I want to add a shortcut to create new tab in Konsole, but I want it to be local and not global (CTRL+T is already used by another application). I've searched and it seems that I need to go to Settings → Configure Keyboard Shortcuts, but I don't have the settings anywhere. I read that I should have a menu bar, but...I don't. What's going on with my Konsole??? Thanks!

Divide screen each with it's own panel (self.kde)

submitted 3 months ago by peregus to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink

Hi everybody!
I've just installed Kubuntu and I'm using Linux gui for the first time.
I have 2 4K screens, one horizontal and one vertical. With Windows I divide the horizontal one in 4 equal parts and the vertical in 3 parts so that all are almost 16:9 and each have it's own taskbar that's so useful to me because I know what I've opened in every virtual screen and if in virtual screen there is Outlook, but I need to take in foreground Chrome that I know it's there (but it's also in other screens), I can click on Chrome on the virtual screen 1 taskbar. If there are no multiple taskbar, I would have to click on Chrome on the main taskbar and select which window I need (which can be problematic because not always it's possible to see what's going on in the small preview).

Is this or something similar possible with KDE plasma (I'm on 6.1.5).

Thanks!

Android app multiple server shortcuts (self.homeassistant)

submitted 3 months ago by peregus to c/homeassistant

2 comments fedilink

Hi all!
I have 4 HA servers in different locations (home, officer etc.) and using the 3 fingers to change server every time is a pain in the ass. Is there any way to open the app directly to a specified server? I've had a look at the widget, but I couldn't find anything. Thanks!

New AMD build suggestions (self.hardware)

submitted 5 months ago by peregus to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

Hi community!
I'm in the process of building a new office PC for:

tenths of firefox tabs open some with Microsoft 365 Excel
some VMs because I will be installing Debian on the host, but in the office we use some Microsoft software and because, since I install, uninstall, create a lot of mess, I like to be able to go back to old snapshots or format and reinstall Windows without impacting my day to day job.

I'm still undecided about the CPU: AMD 9950x, 9700x or 7950x, but where I' completely blind is the motherboard. What I would like:

more than 2 PCIe slots to:
- install a PCI USB card to pass the whole controller to a VM
- install an extra NIC
- I want to be able to install a graphic card in future if needed
more than 4 USB-A ports
more than 1 USB-C port
a well known and reliable brand

Do you have any suggestion even for an SSD (probably 4TB, in the 2-300€ range, maybe even something more) and RAM (64GB)?

Thanks!
