Yeah, its great. My only complaint is that you cant set the vane positions. And the temp sensors are a bit meaningless due to the height on the wall.

I intend to investigate the vane positioning in the future.

CameronDev,

Might just mirror that repo to be safe :D

CameronDev,

The IR blasters can usually be flashed with open firmware like tasmota or esphome. I started with IR as well. The downside for me was that IR was one way. You can tell the unit to turn on, but you cant know if it actually did turn on.

If anyone is in Aus and wants some IR blasters with tasmota, happy to ship my spares :D

VPN to home network options

I currently have a server running Unraid as the OS, which has some WireGuard integration built in. Which I’ve enabled and been using to remotely access services hosted on that server. But as I’ve expanded to include things like Octopi running on a Pi3 and NextcloudPi running on a Pi4 (along with AdGuardHome), I’m trying to...

CameronDev,

I had something manual setup originally as well, but it became a bit of a maintenance hassle. Moving configs to devices was a bit of a pain, and generating keys wasnt easy.

CameronDev,

An alternative (which doesnt fully meet your requirements for browser based) is Jetbrains Rider. You can use its remote development feature to have your code on your server, and the IDE on your local computer.

jetbrains.com/…/Remote_development_overview.html

Another option to get code to and from your device would be to use git to commit and push your code. There are git apps for android that should work for this?

Can I pre-install Ubuntu on an SSD?

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I’m trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection. My intended server location is across the house from my router, and there isnt much room there to set up...

CameronDev,

More exotic software will probably come from the internet, but the basics should be on the DVD. Good luck with your journey, reach out if you need any help, im sure everyone here would be happy to assist.

CameronDev,

Try increasing RAM voltage? Might make it more stable under load. I had a similar issue, clean memtest, but games would randomly crash. Increasing RAM voltage fixed it.

CameronDev, (edited )

I jumped to 1.4V which afaik is safe. But i cant guarentee anything. Going up slowly might be better, but stop at 1.4?

Corsair says 1.4 is safe: help.corsair.com/…/360052448851-Tips-on-safely-ov…

CameronDev,

Easy then, buy a new one for you, give the old one to your friend :)

I wasnt really joking either, the upfront costs might be higher, but longer term will be cheaper than a cloud service. And hopefully more secure.

Installies, a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for installing things on Linux and Unix-based operating systems. (installies.org)

Hi, for the past few months I have been working on my website Installies. It is a site for managing, organizing, and retrieving shell scripts for use to install, remove, update or compile apps on Linux and Unix-based systems....

CameronDev,

Very understandable. And from a security standpoint not necessarily indicitive of anything. A good malicious script would just check its environment first.

I think you mean months, and your comment isn’t visible?

Edit: link took me somewhere strange :/

CameronDev,

Bizarre, that link takes me to a completely different post. Apologies, I can see the post and comment if i type it into a browser.

CameronDev,

That’s the one. Im assuming its just a Connect thing :/

CameronDev,

They are literally publically claiming that they have a zero day (or at least a zero day level capability). Google/Apple would be all over it trying to fix it. Cyber security researchers would be all over it as well.

NSA can get away with using 0 days for years because they keep quiet about them, and dont use them frivilously.

CameronDev,

Thats good to know, thank you for that info, I might look into it next time i have to reinstall.

CameronDev,

Thats what i thought as well tbh. But it sounded like they knew something else.

CameronDev,

Last time i used LVM was way back in fedora 8 days, when it was the default partition. It was super annoying to use, as gparted didnt support it, and live cds often had trouble with it. Having to read doco to resize it was pretty not good for a newbie to linux. Has it improved since?

CameronDev,

Managing all that seems like a lot of effort, and given my disk issues havent yet been fatal, ill probably not worry about going that far. Thanks for the info though.

CameronDev,

The web interface still works? Might need chrome for it to work, it was broken in firefox last time i tried it.

CameronDev,

None of those compelled speech examples include national security though, which has its own level of rules and courts. (I am not American or a lawyer, so i may be wrong).

And if a company can be compelled to hand over customer data, why wouldnt they be hand over access to the systems that update the canaries?

The other issue is thar once a canary is triggered, it cant be reset, which means that XXX agency can trigger the canary with something meaningless, and then its forever untrustworthy.

You may well be correct, and they are sufficient, but i am not convinced that canaries work, especially against the higher level adversaries.

CameronDev,

They typically have a date for the message and the date for the next update. If they miss their update, they have failed.

CameronDev,

Wikipedia does claim that patriot act subpeonas can penalise any disclosure of the subpeona. But i am not a lawyer, and afaik this is untested (or at least undisclosed :/ )

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary

Some subpoenas, such as those covered under 18 U.S.C. §2709© (enacted as part of the USA Patriot Act), provide criminal penalties for disclosing the existence of the subpoena to any third party, including the service provider’s users.

In September 2014, U.S. security researcher Moxie Marlinspike wrote that “every lawyer I’ve spoken to has indicated that having a ‘canary’ you remove or choose not to update would likely have the same legal consequences as simply posting something that explicitly says you’ve received something.”

I think my point is that a gag order with a long time out essentially kills the canary, even if it doesnt affect the vast majority of the services users.

Thanks for your response though, I appreciate the additional information.

CameronDev,

A failed warrant canary is effectively a triggered warrant canary. If its triggered, you have to assume the company has been issued a warrant, and is therefore vulnerable.

CameronDev,

And arch does the exact same thing as Ubuntu :/ not sure what they are trying to say with this one.
