I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
Not sure if a de-duplicating filesystem would help with that or not. Depends, I guess, on if there are similarities between the similar images at the block level.
Maybe try setting up a small, test ZFS pool, enabling de-dup, adding some similar images, and then checking the de-dupe rate? If that works, then you can plan a more permanent ZFS (or other filesystem that supports de-duplication) setup to hold your images.
Thanks! Wish I had more time to work on it lately, but life has been getting in the way.
If it ever happens, absolutely :)
Oh, yeah, I just like the T-Deck form factor. Was going to use Meshtastic as the base but the ESP32 itself would be the messenger (e.g. wouldn’t need the phone).
As long as it’ll still accept a charge and isn’t a spicy pillow, yeah, absolutely. I’ve never had great luck soldering onto those little pads but it’s certainly doable (though I’ll admit my soldering skills aren’t the greatest).
I’ve been wanting to play with Meshtastic for a while and was looking at using something like the LilyGo T-Deck with its blackberry-like keyboard to make cool little off-grid messengers for camping/hiking trips.
Is this for your Meshtastic board (from your other post)? If so, that’s a great up-cycle and should work well with the onboard charging.
I have a few I’ve saved for similar purpose, but I’m not sure about shipping them.
Like someone else said maybe check with vape shops / dispensaries in your area to see if they collect them for recycling.
I almost went with OPNsense (having previously used pfSense), but everything else was already on OpenWRT so I decided to keep things consistent. OPNsense is a solid choice, too.
The barracuda I have is basically an x64 board in a 1U half-depth case with two extra network adapters (3 total including the onboard one). I have two of them: one’s running OpenWRT (my router) and the other vanilla Debian.
So if my router one dies, I can just either pull the drive from it or restore a config backup to another suitable PC that has two NICs (or promote the second unit I have).
The config in openwrt is abstracted. So if the hardware and NICs are totally different, you might need to reconfigure the device names in the config so they’re referencing the right NICs, but everything else should “just work” (e.g. WAN and LAN are just arbitrary labels).
If going the route of a backup solution, is it feasible to install OpenWRT on all of my devices, with the expectation that I can do some sort of automated backups of all settings and configurations, and restore in case of a router dying?
That’s what I do. Every device runs OpenWRT except my ONT. Backing up is just a cron script that calls each one and pulls the config.
For my router, I ended up buying an old Barracuda LoadBalancer 340 and installing OpenWRT (it’s an x86 device so it was super easy). It’s a little over-powered for a router, but the price was right. It’s got more than enough spare resources to run some extra stuff, including Docker, so I’m probably going to throw my PiHole container on there since I haven’t been impressed with AdGuard Home (which is available in the repos).
And if you go for an old Barracuda unit like I did, the default BIOS password is bcndk1
Pretty much my thoughts (and experience) as well.
I was thinking it could be used as a kind of exposure therapy to help with that aversion. At least, I’d be willing to try it out for that purpose.
Do not attempt to adjust your set. This is a Streaming Freedom Video bulletin. The cable hack will last exactly 60 seconds. It cannot be traced, it cannot be stopped and it is the only free voice left in the city.
Wouldn’t restoring from such a backup be equivalent to kill -9 or pulling the cable and restarting the service?
Disclaimer: Not familiar with Immich, but this is what I’ve experienced generally.
AFAIK, effectively yes. The only thing you might lose is anything in memory that hasn’t been written to disk at the time the snapshot was taken (which is still effectively equivalent to kill -9).
At work, we use Veeam which is snapshot based, and database server restores (or spinning up a test DB based off of production) work just fine. That said, we still take scheduled dumps/backups of the database servers just to have known-good states to roll back to if ever the need arises.
My current phone is about 8 years old and long overdue for replacement. If I can find a dumb phone that can also act as a hotspot, that’s probably going to be my “upgrade”.
Right?
I offered to take photos at the angles they wanted and email them to my agent, but they said it had to go through the app. I’m pretty sure the adjustor that came out used the same app, but hey, that’s his (work?) phone, not mine. Nor is it my personal info I’m signing away the rights to by clicking “agree”.
CSC eventually told him to get a refund through the company’s website, which in turn insisted he install CSC’s app to proceed.
That should be illegal. I already refuse to install most apps, and I certainly won’t install one for absolute basic customer support purposes.
Lol, like, I hit a deer a few years ago. Insurance wanted me to download their app, walk around my car and take pictures, and they’d send me a check the next day. Nope. I made them send an adjustor. I’m that dedicated to not installing apps. 😆
I’ve only had that happen once on public wifi, and just assumed they were doing SSL stripping like you linked. I worked around it by connecting to my Wireguard VPN and routing my traffic through that.
Also, if you know of any good networking Lemmy communities, feel free to share them.
Zabbix?
That’s what I was thinking, but wasn’t sure enough to say beyond “give it a shot and see”.
There might be some savings to be had by enabling compression, though it would depend on what format the images are in to start with. If they’re already in a compressed format, it would probably just be a waste of CPU to try compressing them further at the filesystem level.
