I made the right decision to get two HP elitedesk g4 minis instead of one, and to give them both plenty of ram (before the shortage).

I temporarily “lost” one of them after a power outage revealed that the CMOS battery was dead in one. It’s back up and running, but it was nice to be able to simply import the containers on the remaining good unit while I fixed it up.

Test your backups! It’ll save you time and headache, plus you can feel superior to others.

I won’t comment on the when of it, you have a lot of good answers here already.

But I’d like to add that “performant” is a much lower bar than you think. Gigabit has been fine for my nearly 25 containers to use NFS as their storage, video streaming included.

This is a self-hosted sub. You are going to see a lot of anti-establishment, anti-corporation stuff here because it’s a core principle and/or concern of many users looking into self-hosting. That tends to come with attached behaviors like you described.

While I would tend to agree that it’s unfortunate that you have to wade through a lot of folks knee-jerk blanket commenting on certain topics, and that those screeching comments are annoying, Lemmy is generally a big tent, so you will need to accept their presence, the same way we have to just ignore all the AI Slop software presented here.

The price of freedom is accepting the screechers.

I saw your other response.

There is no evidence of national selectivity or “racism” involved here, you seem to be interpreting this yourself. The fact that this is about an EU-related fork is a coincidence.

It is the highjacking of the license to restrict the implied spirit of freedom is what is at issue here.

You aren’t concerned about a severity 10 vuln? Those are found in software with exceptionally bad qa and abandonware. That should give you pause about how hard n8n is “going fast and breaking things”.

Racism?

Yep, absolutely the right move to ask here, lots of us learn through conversation. I think youre on the right track.

You know what… I think I was thinking of Armbian.

In the days of 3G, this was possible. However, LTE and 5G networks will not allow uncertified modems to connect. If you’ve ever been through getting a Mikrotik LTE router on a North American network, you’ll recognize that pain.

Using Mobian (very real, BTW), or PostmarketOS are your best bets at the moment. Easier to reverse-engineer drivers than to go through the hoops of certification.

We’ve had octo-core CPUs in phones for 13 years…

Implement what you fully understand first. Then figure out the why and how of the next piece for security.

“Hardened kernel with stack protection” doesn’t mean much if you can’t explain why it’s in place, or how it works.

I’ve been in IT 25 years and security for 15 years, and the number one failure of implemented security is doing it because someone said you need it.

Yes.

For me, the idea is to sync bookmarks between devices.

Yeah, I agree. Not knowing what ports might be open on a single egress shouldn’t happen.

This would encapsulate something like enforced Transport encryption.

Yes, this is what we’re discussing… Are you a bot? Or are you really not following the conversation?

Most selfhosted projects do not store such private data.

That is patently not true, in the self-hosted space or otherwise.

If you want to take some kind of the security stance on pii or other personal data, you may want to take a look at the app’s workflow first before making declarations of “inadequate security”. There are other considerations than simply slapping a self-signed cert on data in transit (or at rest, for that matter). URL encoding, secrets management, api structure, etc.

If you want to architect the security of your data using this app, it is much easier to simply encapsulate or encrypt the transport yourself. A VPN would be fine. An authentication proxy would be another.

Ultimately, your comments on security here need more and better context to meet a reasonable threshold of confronting the dev on it.

It is no excuse that other services do not follow these state of the art protection measures.

Most projects in the self-hosted space put the load of transport security on the user or another system, including big ones like Immich.

Not sure why you’ve chosen to be indignant about this particular implementation.

So there are 3 power modes in “normal” USB; 500mA, 1A, and 2A, all three of these at 5V. The 6T can only deliver 500MA 5V.

There is also provision in the USB spec over USBC for negotiation of power delivery that allows also changing the voltage to deliver more power. The 6T cannot do this, it lacks the usb PD circuitry.

However, it can do org (change to “target mode” to become storage for, say, a computer to access its storage. The 6T can do this with android, but you’re right, I haven’t been able to get it to work with pmos.

I do a lot of tinkering and development with GPS, and I use a few Blox GPS dongles. These need a bit of power to heat the ceramic antenna and atmo pressure sensor. These work with pmos.
