This dude is amazing, he’s also the person behind the music artist The Flashbulb (as well as a handful of other names), I listened to his tracks a ton growing up so it’s super cool to see him doing so much other cool stuff!

Raidz5 doesn’t exist, I assume you mean raid5? And you wouldn’t know, URE is sometimes silent, and because without parity during a rebuild you would be recalculating the parity bit and assumig every read on the remaining drives is successful. Except the URE rate for drives hasn’t gone down to match the increasing size of drives - so for a full 1x read of a large drive, you’re statistically at risk to get at least 1 URE.

In short, there is no integrity checking when rebuilding a single redundancy array after a drive failure, so just because a rebuild succeeds, doesn’t mean nothing was lost or corrupted. With double redundancy, you will still have single redundancy during a rebuild, so you would be able to detect URE and retry reads or raise an error to the user.

Some articles may make it overblown - you won’t lose your whole array, but any files stored in the block that had the URE during rebuild would be lost. And you might not know that it happened.

Raidz1 or z2? One of the reasons I went with z2 is because of the “raid5 is dead” thing, argument basically being, drives are so large that if 1 fails, you are statistically almost guaranteed to encounter a read error during the rebuild when you no longer have any redundancy, so double redundancy is a necessity nowadays.

I use haproxy just for simplicity, with the https fronted in tcp mode with a tcp request inspect delay and acls using req_ssl_sni allows switching between multiple backend based on hostname, though if you only had 1 backend server then it could just be a raw tcp proxy. I have my stuff split between 2 local boxes that are both connected to the reverse proxy using wg so this works well for me.

I use a wireguard tunnel as a reverse proxy and it does ssl passthrough with sni. Termination happens on my local box and the reverse proxy host doesn’t do any certs.

I went with rsync.net, grabbed a promo at some point and have been getting 1.6TB for $10/mo. They support a wide range of protocols (sshfs, sftp, rsync, borg, synology, guides for freenas and truenas), snapshots, idle alerts, geo redundancy for a fee. Been very happy with it so far. Had to retrieve some files once and had no issue.

I thought it was because Firefox refuses to add webusb? I’ve never seen a web flasher that worked in firefox, always had to use chrome for meshtastic fashing, android web flashers, slimevr firmware updaters, etc.

I like generic lan-only rtsp poe cameras that are additionally blocked from accessing anything but the box that receives the streams.

I couldn’t find a common compatible format for me and 15 friends :( I also got tired of getting 20 requests to download more movies and episodes every week.

Nice! 2 hours ago in case anyone was wondering how old the screenshot is.

I do Bandcamp where I can but end up just yt-dlping YouTube and SoundCloud where necessary, and then I try to ask those artists to put their music in bandcamp or somewhere I can buy a download.

Doesn’t this need an AI disclosure in the title and post per the rules of this community?

This is neat! I always wanted to take advantage of indoor mapping features but felt overwhelmed by the structure of the elements I had to learn.

I emailed them at support@greenfi.com with basically the message “I can’t login I get this message, what can I do to resolve this”, went back and forth a bunch, did all the annoying troubleshooting reinstalling the app, clearing app data, etc, sent screenshots of the message, assured I wasn’t using a VPN, sent all the details of my phone and rom version, had to poke them when they didn’t respond, got a random message of them saying “we see you were able to gain access” and I had to be like wtf no I didn’t?, told them it worked if I temporarily enabled play protect and said I would switch banks if I couldnt access check deposit which is mobile only, they replied with some justification why play protect is tripping it up, so I told them that I had no issues having play protect off with other financial apps like fidelity and chase bank, and finally got a response from a “supervisor” saying “i refreshed your settings” settings" and it started working.

Not sure if they just whitelisted my account or what, but maybe if enough people complain they will get tired of whitelisting everyone and change course.

I switched away from Ally bank for similar reasons, on my lineage’d pixel 5 with gapps, their app would always fail the login the first time then succeed the second time for no reason.

Then the bank I switched to, greenfi (coastal community bank) completely blocked login unless I had play protect (in Google play) enabled, which allows Google to uninstall any app from your phone without asking if they decide it’s a “security risk” or whatever - I can totally imaging them deciding that ReVanced / morphie / patched apps that block their ads to be a “security issue”. Luckily greenfi was more understanding and they did something that allowed me to log in again.

Vrchat is heavily CPU limited if you have a decent graphics card - me and my friends all have various x3d cpus and it’s still not enough so this is welcome news. I have a 9800x3d and a friend has the 9850x3d and in tough situations we get around 50-70fps which is pretty middling for VR.

I completed a 300 mile move yesterday, and my homelab was one of the least stressful parts thanks to my pre-emptive downsizing from a half rack to just a Synology + Intel nuc. I also pre-emptively switched from forwarded ports to a reverse proxy because I didn’t want to be thinking about what isp I would end up with. Even further, I linked the nas and nuc directly with Ethernet so that I wouldn’t need to rely on static IPs or router-assisted local hostnames, mdns, avahi, whatever because I wanted to be able to transplant my lab onto any network just in case of emergency - thankfully I haven’t had to test that out but it’s nice knowing my lab should work on any network where both boxes can reach the internet / my reverse proxy. I was thinking worst case if we ended up in some apartment complex with some crappy provided setup that had broken local discovery then it would be 1 less thing to worry about.

Fyi the filters are instance based, so the person you replied to and probably some of the people who downvoted you have no idea what you’re talking about. Only we can see it because we’re on .ml

This is not for the case of using text, it’s for protecting text in images. The problem with adding invisible text is that LLMs can defeat it by screenshotting and using OCR. This tries to plug that loophole.
