I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

Moonrise2473,

If it was worthless they wouldn’t put a fucking 4g modem on all of them “for free” and siphoning all the telemetry away

Moonrise2473,

The staff commented “we can only know if it works when the movie starts”, and this sentence is let me thinking “expensive royalties would be automatically paid every single time the play button is pressed”

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

Moonrise2473,

Purchase the domain with cloudflare, for email it depends how you use it:

With an email client like thunderbird:

A cheap service like mxroute is perfect

If you need to use a webmail:

You need to pay a lot because the free webmails are all unusable for advanced use.

Good options:

  • Zoho at $1 per user per month
  • Exchange with ovh at €3 per user per month

Bad options:

  • Google workspace at $10 per month per user plus the blood rights for your firstborn and pray that they don’t alter the deal
  • proton pro at $9 per user per month but IMHO is extremely overrated for what they offer at their price point (unless you need end to end encryption when emailing other proton users)
Moonrise2473,

I just unsubscribe when it becomes too prominent. There was a guy doing a recap of the news of the day in 5 minutes. Suddenly added 2 minutes of ads. Fuck that

Moonrise2473,

It seems so much nicer than my nextcloud bookmarks!

Moonrise2473,

i started with the mail basic (10 euro yearly for 10gb) but then because i switched from “secondary email that forwards to gmail” to “primary email that imports from gmail”, i had to move to the more expensive plan

Moonrise2473, (edited )

i think instead the opposite. The backend is the real interesting part, and the only way that we can be sure that “they cannot read the emails” (they arrive in clear, saved with reversible encryption and they have a key for it - if you use their services to commit crimes they will collaborate with the law enforcement agencies like everyone else)

imap/smtp can be toggled with a warning, if that’s really their concern. As of now i have the feeling that’s instead blocked to keep users inside (no IMAP = no easy migration to somewhere else) or to limit usage (no SMTP = no sending mass email)

Moonrise2473,

About the root problem, as of now new installs are trying to let the user to run everything as a limited user. And the program is ran as root inside the container so in order to escape from it the attacker would need a double zero day exploit (one for doing rce in the container, one to escape the container)

The alternative to “don’t really know what’s in the image” usually is: “just download this Easy minified and incomprehensible trustmeimtotallynotavirus.sh script and run it as root”. Requires much more trust than a container that you can delete with no traces in literally seconds

If the program that you want to run requires python modules or node modules then it will make much more mess on the system than a container.

Downgrading to a previous version (or a beta preview) of the app you’re running due to bugs it’s trivial, you just change a tag and launch it again. Doing this on bare metal requires to be a terminal guru

Finally, migrating to a new fresh server is just docker compose down, then rsync to new server, and then docker compose up -d. And not praying to ten different gods because after three years you forgot how did you install the app in bare metal like that.

Docker is perfect for common people like us self hosting at home, the professionals at work use kubernetes

Moonrise2473,

The problem about the “automatically adjust resolution and bitrate” can be done in two ways:

  1. Using a GPU to transcode the 4k video in real time (generally unavailable on VPS)
  2. Encoding the video in multiple resolutions and bitrates, using much more disk space

Both solutions are expensive on a VPS.

In this case when I need to share stuff in 4k 60 (basically never) I just host on YouTube unlisted and having Google foot the bill. Maybe think like this: the content really deserves to be 4k 60 fps? Home videos that I share with my family are downgraded to 720p as anyway they will watch it horizontal on a vertical screen

I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed “book” full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn’t have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent

Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere

Moonrise2473,

I tried portainer and it was overkill for my usage, too much overhead and too many features that I don’t need.

Right now I’m using ajenti 2, which shows memory and CPU usage for the docker containers in the web page

Moonrise2473,

Ah you want to host a name server

That’s the hardest thing ever to self host, can’t just use the free name server service from the registrar or cloudflare?

IMHO even the most dedicated sysadmin wouldn’t even think to self host that

Moonrise2473,

I use technitium but it’s like pihole, designed for a few concurrent users in a local network? Instead you want that anyone in the world can use your DNS?

But you would only attract bad actors, normal users won’t use a random DNS server as it could redirect specific sites to phishing pages

Moonrise2473,

It looks like each game cartridge has an unique serial number. Nintendo could easily blacklist everything that touched a specific serial, because they can see from the telemetry something like 500 consoles ran the same cartridge in a day, immediately raising red flags

Considering the non-security of the Wii u (“ah, you say you have a ticket for a game? Sure, feel free to download from the servers, I trust you, don’t need to verify that”), I’d assume that until a serial isn’t blacklisted, the console would automatically download updates as if it was original

Seems like multiple games are swapped by removing the cartridge and reinserting it, would swap to the next title. So, 3-4 titles max or it will be annoying

Ideally I would like a SATA port for putting a small SSD for truenas boot drive, then I could do a raidz with three nvme drives.

But we can’t have everything

Moonrise2473,

I fixed it:

for future reference:

  • from docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/…, run dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh uninstall
  • delete the user data (warning: i wasn’t using any docker volumes and i had no data to lose!!!) using the command that the previous script tells you
  • add your user to the docker group and use the traditional “run docker as root” way: docs.docker.com/engine/…/linux-postinstall/…
Moonrise2473,

i don’t want to type sudo before each single docker command

Moonrise2473,

checked .bash_history, looks like i installed docker in the new rootless mode


<span style="color:#323232;">wget get.docker.com
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ls
</span><span style="color:#323232;">mv index.html docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">chmod +x docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">./docker.sh
</span><span style="color:#323232;">dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt install uidmap
</span><span style="color:#323232;">dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install
</span>

now i need to see how to restore it to work in the traditional way or i will become crazy with the permissions…

Moonrise2473,

it’s already hard to fit a small car to park in the city, i don’t understand how people can even think to buy a car that’s longer than 4 meters. Roads and houses were built during the baby boom when cars weren’t used by everyone, so for example in my area there are 0.8 car parks per family.

Then i see my cousin, living alone, single, no family buying a huge 5,5 meters SUV “because in the next three years i plan to move, bigger space is useful”. Could rent a van for 100 euro a day instead of spending 10k euro extra for a monster…

Moonrise2473,

What’s the excuse this time? Hamas terrorists hidden in the trunk?
