Hey all, just looking for some advice. I'd like to do a WASM application, just generally like a calendar + notes app. I'd like it to work on mobile and desktop through the browser. It'll be served through Actix with Diesel for the backend. For the "frontend" I was thinking egui or leptos.

I'd like to avoid any JavaScript, so thought SSR might be the best approach.

Any thoughts/pitfalls? Should I look at something else for the frontend?

Its a lot of working parts for a calendar + notes app, but this will be a testing ground to see if I can get it all going :S

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 I've found a few guides but some of them seem fairly outdated.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

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?

Hey all, got another question. Is Lutris only managed through the desktop mode or is there some sort of plugin you can use to manage it?

I use Lutris on my desktop and know about the option to add a Steam shortcut. Anything else SD specific that needs to be done?

Cheers

Hey all, just wondering how the battery life is after you've had it for a while? I'm getting one soon and wondered if it would have a noticeable impact on the battery if it was on a dock for most of the time.

Cheers

Hi all,

I'm going through and giving a bunch if different GUI frameworks a go and have tried iced, egui and Slint. Iced was by far the easiest to get started and just seemed fairly logical for layouts, Slint was pretty cool - VSCode actually has like a wysiwyg-editor that allows you to drag components around etc.

Unfortunately I'm having issues getting breakpoints to work when using VSCode, Tauri, plus a Rust frontend (yew, dioxus, etc). I think its because what is compiled isn't where my actual code exists? If I use a JavaScript frontend it hits breakpoints fine, but that's not what I'm wanting to use at the moment.

Hi all, I tried creating a Steam shortcut through lutris but my controller isn't detected -I'm trying to play it via Steam Link.

Normal Steam games appear to work fine, and from everything I've seen online it should just work.

Hey all, I have a Samsung S22 and got an update this morning which has forced on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Disabling the new circle to search didn't make a difference.

I heard it can be disabled through GoodLock but I'm not installing that. Maybe it can be disabled via adb or something?

Cheers

Hey all I'm looking for recommendations for a video doorbell that doesn't need an internet connection.

Preferably something that is WiFi and would work with Frigate?

Hey all,

I'm going to be moving on to my next project and have been thinking about doing an email client. I like Thunderbird, but the search is terrible, and I also want to tackle something that needs pretty high performance for processing emails etc.

Any suggestions or considerations I should think about?

I'll focus on just getting SMTP going in a CLI then I'll introduce some sort of frontend using Qt.

Hey all,

Another update/release of urChat (Java IRC Client). This release had a lot of focus on general usability and backend cleaning up. Performance for updating the styles has been improved and i've also moved some of the major panels into their own classes to make it easier to add more options/panels at a future date. In doing this, there is less effort needed when adding more options as the this is all handled when using addToPanel() method:

For Instance, i've added an option to toggle the tab icons, after creating the new JCheckBox showTabIcons, all that's needed to have it save to the preferences correctly is:

URPanels.addToPanel(this, showTabIcons, null, Placement.DEFAULT, null, Constants.KEY_SHOW_TAB_ICON);

This adds it to the current JPanel (In this case the InterfacePanel), places it after the previous Component and then associates that with the KEY_SHOW_TAB_ICON Preference key. Much easier than before.

Support for HTTP proxies has also been added, so we've now got both SOCKS and HTTP proxies as an option. There is now better disconnection handling, it will automatically reconnect if it disconnects unexpectedly (after some time), and it will also rejoin all of the previously connected channels.

I've also added in LOG4J2 for logging. At the moment there is a log4j2.xml config file included in the release JAR, but eventually i'll allow custom config files. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it yet as it increased my release JAR file size from 247 KB to 2.47 MB which is quite a significant jump.

Anyway, thanks everybody for your support and interest. Feel free to join the #urchat channel at irc.libera.chat to discuss improvements etc. :) Onwards and upwards to version 0.7.0!

Hey all, I've been trying to figure out why enabling IPS kills my network. I have some services I host and would like to get some sort of IPS running. I used to have Snort running through pfSense and didn't experience issues like this.
