Soulseek, but also redacted.

Ampwall was another Bandcamp alternative I had heard about. Although, Mirlo is federated with ActivityPub?? Nice.

energy-efficient mainboard

How did you go about selecting one of these?

Nice! Just what I was looking for! My old server would idle at 60W (with 4 HDD). My new server seems to be idling at around 45W. I haven’t looked into any tweaks I could make yet. This will be a good starting point.

*where “idle” means it’s running a bunch of Docker containers, but they’re not being actively used.

Looks cool. Good job!

I know the MIT license tends to be the default… buuuuutttt… there are other licenses too like AGPLv3 or others.

I just bought some recertified Western Digital drives on eBay. First time.

3 out of 4 of the drives weren’t detected by the OS… I’m in the middle of RMA right now. They received my broken drives last week, but I haven’t heard anything back yet…

DO NOT UPGRADE TO FORGEJO v13.0.0.

On Guix, I could bisect (like git bisecting) my OS. So usually what would happen is:

• I’m running in a good state
• I accidentally mess something up
• oh no
• guix system switch-generation $n, where n is the last known good state
• then binary search until I find the first bad generation
• look at the config changes I made
• fix them
• back to good state

Unfortunately, my laptop is too new so Guix isn’t fully compatible with all my hardware. (Yes, I was using nonguix)

But that was a pretty neat experience compared to debugging something on Arch.

Yeah! CUPS is great. I just connected my Brother printer to it and everything Just Works.

Aaah, ok. I read the docs at https://librewolf.net/installation/macos/#homebrew but got scared when I saw “flagged as broken”. I’ll give it a shot anyway, thanks!

I never thought to read “floorp” as “floor” + “pee”, but now I can’t unsee that.

Has anyone figured out how to automate updates on macOS (ew I know, but it’s my wife’s computer)?

Ah, nice ok. Your post got me to look at dropbear a little more closely, but since I got a bunch of disks, I think USB unlock makes more sense in my setup. I’m using a keyfile on the USB to unlock a bunch of disks on boot. But if I only had one, then dropbear would be more doable for me.

Neat! Interesting post!

Ah, cool cool. Makes sense. Are you unlocking 1 disk or many disks with the dropbear setup?

Any guides you’d recommend to try this out?

🫡 Thank you for your service.

Same boat. I’m currently testing some unlock stuff out. I just got USB unlocks to work for Debian by following this: https://tqdev.com/2022-luks-with-usb-unlock

I load a USB with a keyfile, then read the keyfile during boot. If I don’t have the USB plugged in, I fallback to entering a passphrase. I have multiple LUKS encrypted disks and I don’t want to type out a long passphrase a bunch of times.

I briefly encountered dropbear during my research… but ended up following the USB path because it kinda seemed a little easier to setup. 🤷

Anyone have any thoughts on USB vs dropbear unlocks?

Aaah, ok. I think I’m slowly starting to get it. Also, this video helped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_MwE0Z3CE

So… Seerr requests something (what? how?) to torrent stuff on your behalf?
