You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
3·14 days agoFor very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I’ve done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It’s maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type
root, the root password, anddhclient eth0or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo…In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).
from many years ago.

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.
But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.
The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network…
…and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I’d think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.
IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.
(Debian for me.)
Remote backup server would be my suggestion.
Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend’s or family’s place.
I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.
I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

No, I don’t see any handcuffs…
…it’s a myocardial infraction.
2·3 months agoIt’s mostly so that I can have SSL handled by nginx (and not per-service), and also for ease of hosting multiple services accessible via subdomains. So every service is its own subdomain.
Additionally, my internal network (as in, my physical LAN) does not have any port forwarding enabled — everything is over WireGuard to my VPS.
My method:
VPS with reverse proxy to my public facing services. This holds SSL certs, and communicates with home network through WireGuard link configured on my router.
Local computer with reverse proxy for all services. This also has SSL certs, and handles the same services as the VPS, so I can have local/LAN speeds. Additionally, it serves as a reverse proxy for all my private services, such as my router/switches/access point config pages, Jellyfin, etc.
No complaints, it mostly just works. I also have my router override DNS entries for my FQDN to resolve locally, so I use the same URL for accessing public services on my LAN.
We tend to use between 3kWh (vacation/idle power consumption) and around 8kWh per day. If we switched to electric stove, water heater, and heat pump, and add a hot tub, that’d increase substantially. But if we added solar (on our long Todo list…), the battery in the article (60kWh) would probably be able to handle all our storage needs, and it’d fit in he garage (bonus of it can be placed outside/under a deck!). I live in a major city, but I would absolutely love to effectively be off grid.
Exciting stuff — it seems these are touted as being extremely robust/safe, which is of course important for me if it’s going to be in/near our house. Storage density not a huge concern, but price is somewhat important — let’s hope this sort of thing ticks all the boxes.
And your VPN connection to work knows your endpoint…
Interestingly, there’s another way of finding out if your coworker is in the office — just walk over to their desk.
5·3 months agoThe one I’ve heard replaces “brains” with “money.”
5·3 months agoAI generated, so influenced from all of the above (with a sprinkling of Chrysler LeBaron perhaps?).
Getting TLS certs will be complicated
I just use Let’s Encrypt with a wildcard domain — same certs for public and private facing domains. I’m sure this isn’t best practice, but it’s mostly just for me so I’m not too worried :)
It’s maybe not that bad for a “normal” person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out — abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck — was pretty disheartening.
