Absolutely not, nothing good can come of this. All youre doing is giving more power to Apple/Google to control everything youre allowed to do on your device. You now have to have an approved phone, with their approved Operating System, apps installed via their approved app store, an approved browser.. Etc etc.

That digital ID stuff is horrible as well, they already tested it during covid with the checkins nonsense.

Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yea I wouldn't be too concerned with trying just because you have an Nvidia GPU, I've been running it for years and haven't had any show stoppers. Now is probably the best time to give it a go.

Accenture... There's your answer. Absolute scumbag company. KPMG, DXC.. All those massive companies run huge con jobs on any of those Government contracts. Wouldnt be surprised if they claimed they had 20 people working on it, but it was only 2 full timers.

I've noticed Zorin does a lot of marketing and it comes in waves, you won't hear anything for months then it'll be everywhere for a few days.

Awesome. I really needed this about 5 years ago, but I'm glad they've added it for sure.

I had the Z680s, they were amazing. Easily had them for like 15 years or something

Maybe stop hitting them with your car then!

XMPP servers / communities? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Lots there to take a look at. I'll definitely be setting up unit tests to test out multiple servers for sure.

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Thats great, thanks. By the sounds of it I can probably continue with developed, I just need to find where people are going and what servers have the biggest population.

Thanks again!

Thanks, is there any indication on the number of daily users for some of those servers? Some of the IRC indexes would have usage graphs to get an idea of how popular it was.

Awesom, thanks for that. I'll do some digging to see how widely used it is. Cheers

Hey all. I started writing an XMPP client just for learning purposes and I'm not sure on how widely used it actually is. Where is it actually used? Are there communities out there that actually use it?

Wasn't sure where to actually post this. Sorry if its a bit off topic

Managing proxmox, virtual machines, and others (programming.dev)
 

Hey all, just hoping to get some advice on any software out there that can help me keep on top of all the VMs i'm running on my Proxmox instances, and potentially my other machines I have too.

I'm looking for a way to help me stay on top of updates and things like when the machine was last online, last rebooted etc etc. There are commercial products for such a thing, and I don't necessarily want to install any sort of Agent on each of the machines (if I can avoid it).

I looked at something like Homarr, but not sure if that's what i'm really after.

What recommendations do all you have?

CrowdSec vs Fail2Ban - What to use? (programming.dev)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Matty_r@programming.dev to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hey all, i've decided I should probably setup something else to help block nefarious IP addresses. I've been looking into CrowdSec and Fail2Ban but i'm not really sure the best one to use.

My setup is OpnSense -> Nginx Proxy Manager -> Servers. I think I need to setup CrowdSec/Fail2Ban on the Nginx Proxy Manager to filter the access logs, then ideally it would setup the blocks on OpnSense - but i'm not sure that can be done?

Any experience in a setup like this? I've found a few guides but some of them seem fairly outdated.

Edit: thanks everybody for the great info. General consensus seems to be with crowdsec so I'll go down that path and see how it goes.

Edit 2: So after having it up and running for the better part of a day, i'm going to remove it again. For some reason there was a performance impact loading websites, probably because it was waiting for a response from the Crowdsec hub? Either way, after stopping it from running everything is back to normal again. So I might revisit how I do it and probably try Fail2Ban now instead. Thanks everybody

How best to store a media library in proxmox? (programming.dev)
 

Hey all, I've got ZFS pool created and just create a VM drive in that pool like normal, then Jellyfin just has that drive mounted. I think I'm losing the best parts of ZFS through this manner.

How should I set this up properly? Create a media pool or something and have VMs accessing the pool directly?
