Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?

Hi, I’m on Windows 10 at home and Windows 11 at work. I’m going to migrate to Linux for my next PC (might eventually do it on this one, though I’ve currently done so many tweaks that I intend to keep this for gaming for now). Our two laptops and mini-PC already run Linux Mint, but I digress… (I just don’t want anyone...

I think most of the basic Logitech webcams should just work without any other software.

Not surprised about Razer, their stuff is awful.

Basically, Unifi needs to know where the unifi server is, but it’s assigning the IP address to it.

Set a static IP on the Unifi server.

Owncloud supports selective sync, and seems a lot better for performance compared to Nextcloud.

Alternatively you could roll your own with rclone which is essentially an open source alternative to mountain duck. Then you can just use a simple connection via SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, etc…

Proxmox Ubuntu VM has "graphical" console

This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don’t think a screenshot would help because everything “LOOKS” fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can’t drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I...

That sounds normal, server linux has no GUI/Desktop, only a console.

To get a full CLI that you can select/copy/paste in you just need to SSH in, instead of using the Proxmox console.

The proxmox console is meant for rare usage like installing the OS and recovering from failures, it’s not meant to be used as a daily way to interact with the VMs.

MangoPenguin,

Agreed, it’s not user friendly at all.

Now it’s all gone x86 and Proxmox with everyone shitting on Arm. What happened? What gives?

It’s because the price point is really high now. There’s nothing wrong with the hardware you have.

Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

I am currently running most of my stuff from an unraid box using spare parts I have. It seems like I am hitting my limit on it and just want to turn it into a NAS. Micro PCs/USFF are what I am planning on moving stuff to (probably a cluster of 2 for now but might expand later.). Just a few quick questions:...

That makes sense, but no remote backups over the network? Local snapshots I don’t really count as backups.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

How well does it handle backups, and are they deduplicated incremental ones like proxmox backup server makes?

@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Stopping charge at 80% (and still going down near 0%) should give you roughly 4x the cycle life. So in theory doing that it would take about 8 years to hit the same 85% usable level.

85% left after 2.5 years is a high rate of wear, due to phones really pushing as much as they can into the battery to have longer run times.

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Linux requires putting in some work to get everything working, just how it is right now.

Pick a distro you like, and stick with solving the issues!

Doing it on a VPS you’re not going to be able to do real-time transcoding, so you’ll have to pre-transcode a bunch of different bitrates.

Peertube will do that for you, and also handle giving a nice interface for people to watch the videos on with multiple quality levels to pick from.

I don’t know of any services that automatically pick the quality based on your connection quality though, even youtube doesn’t do that.

Or if you have a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU with integrated graphics, those work great too. Support for 10 bit does require a later model CPU though.

Nextcloud for me too, would break because of updates requiring manual DB updates sometimes, apps would randomly stop working after updating too, or the 2 times it caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself which required a full restore from backups.

After getting rid of it and switching to Syncthing + Filebrowser + SFTPGo for WebDAV I haven’t really had anything break since then (about a year now). Stuff also runs much faster, NC was extremely slow even on good hardware with all their recommended settings for performance.

Yeah the first time was the time/date bug they had (still have?) where it set the time on every folder and file to 00/00/0000 00:00 across all clients and the server.

Second time was I disabled virtual file support on my laptop so it would sync everything, but instead it went and wiped all the files from the server, because for some reason their sync client assumed the laptop that now had no files on it should be the master source or something.

Their own docs even state that’s how you’re supposed to disable VFS, with no mention that it will wipe your server clean.

Proxmox doesn’t manage docker, it wouldn’t do anything for OP.

MangoPenguin, (edited )
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes but Proxmox doesn’t manage docker, OP wants a webUI to see all their docker containers.

I agree running Proxmox as a base OS is the way to go, but you’ll still need Dockge, Portainer, etc to have a webUI for docker stuff.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Dockge or Portainer are both good options.

For VMs you’ll need to find something else, you could use Cockpit for that.

Restic and Proxmox Backup Client for me.

Proxmox backup client goes to my local proxmox backup server, Restic goes to remote S3 storage on Backblaze.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

So … conclussion ???

Have backups.

Only 2 copies of your data stored in the same place isn’t enough, you want 3 at minimum and at least 1 should be somewhere else.

MangoPenguin, (edited )
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Backups are usually encrypted from most popular backup programs, either by default or as an option (restic, borg, duplicati, veeam, etc…). So that would take care of someone else getting their hands on your backup data.

I never store my actual files on a cloud service, only encrypted backups.

For local data on my devices, my laptop is encrypted with bitlocker, and my Android phone is by default. My desktop at home is not though.

@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Just to do it, IMAP already covers using multiple devices on an email account.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It also sends your IMAP credentials to their servers and receives the mail there, it’s not done locally like the older versions.

Did you change the mysql container database name, username and password to something other than the default linguacafe ?

That would break it, as it’s using those specific credentials to login to the database. Which would cause Access denied for user ‘linguacafe’@‘ip adress censored’ (using password: YES) (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from users)

Try with the default, you’ll need to wipe the mysql data under /home/user/Documents/Docker/LinguaCafe/database/ after stopping the container first.
