...what support? They barely reply any queries people post in their google groups. If you go there you'll see most people will try to reach them either due to servers down (the main issue at hand) or login issues which never get fixed (the longest standing issue, better create a different new subdomain) from what I've seen. I've also tried repeatedly to reach them regarding changing the token access, but with no luck. It's a free service so I can't complain, but the only support you actually will get is from other users, and for some scenarios that's not quite enough.

EDIT: Oh wow right after posting this I just saw they actually replied regarding the SSO/tokens issue most people have (SSO failed due to the reddit snafu, you end up with just the token and no chance to do any further changes to your account again). This has been an ongoing issue for over two years, I just saw they finally replied (I think for the first time) a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I'm seriously considering also a paid domain, so it's good to hear from your experience. I might go try some other free provider first though.

Does it matter?

No, it does not change, but why is this something of concern? The problem is duckdns DOES NOT REPLY providing DNS replies, not to my own servers, but to people outside looking for my servers by typing their address. Duck fails to provide a response to those queries, and users get timeouts. I can frequently replicate this with either dig or nslookup, from different machines, either inside my network or at random connections.

I managed today to run certbot to register 2 new subdomains that yesterday consistently failed with a long timeout during THE WHOLE DAY. Today the same certbot command on the same server ran straight at the first attempt.

So...yeah. Unreliable.

Great...thanks. I'm going to look them up.

Glad it works for you guys. Here it fails to respond at least once a week or so, and it can last one hour or more sometimes. It's unpredictable. And makes the server look buggy.

A sample for measure...there's a lot of these on reddit:

It will fail to resolve randomly, and then your services goes down. And you expend quite a while figuring out whatever might have failed until the typical "when in doubt, it's DNS" pops up. This also applies when you're trying to add/renew subdomains.

Just a sample...

It seems to frequently stop responding.

 

Hi guys!

I'm considering moving away from duckdns, as it's becoming increasingly unreliable. I'd like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I'm open to suggestions!).

My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

Just that...would you recommend any decent free Dynamic domain that is well regarded privacy-wise?

DuckDNS is becoming rather unreliable and prone to failure.

Thanks!

The end result is the same though. First phone unlock is the one a bad actor can't get through.

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

GrapheneOS is the easiest ROM install bar none. Get the en browser (needs to be chrome-based) to the install url, hook the phone cable, and let it run. It's super straightforward. It's not rooting though, you don't get root access by default.

GrapheneOS also has this. Not sure stock android includes it.

Is it any good?

Extremely unlikely due to Kamal's actor rapey attitudes forcing his own on-screen death (and firing). I'm not complaining with the attempt at closing the main plots where they did, given the cards they were given. I'm happy they tried to give it a decent ending and closure.

I didn't find the final books so amazing compared to the rest of the series.

 

Hi guys!

I'm trying to create a WebDAV server that shares a NFS mount from my NAS. In short, I'm trying to create/share a backup folder in my NAS so my Graphene phone can run the backup.

How can I do this? All the guides mention about sharing /var/www/webdav and chrooting it. How can I share my own folder? Does it need to be /var/www/webdav? Can I share something else instead? Should I just link my NAS mount to /var/www/webdav?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

I purchased a few months ago a new AMD PC, with a 7700 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 7800XT GPU. I've noticed since, that my electric bill has been increased (compared to when I used an Intel i7 6700 with a 1070 GPU), I was wondering, is it possible to use a hybrid GPU setup kinda like laptops, where the iGPU from the CPU is activated for normal tasks, and the discrete GPU is only activated on demand? Would the GPU be unpowered/sleeping in the meantime?

....all this from a Linux perspective, I'm running Nobara 40.

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! I'm looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don't really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I'd like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn't work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.

What alternatives do I have?

Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that's the form factor (Type G, I think?) I'd be needing.

 

Hi guys!

Back in the day I used to have a VM holding nginx and all the crap exposed...and I did set it up with fail2ban. I moved away from it, as the OS upgrade was turning messy, and rebuilt onto an LXC container. How should I use fail2ban/iptables in order to protect/harden my LXC container/server? Do the same conditions apply, or will I have any limitations/issues due to the container itself?

Thanks!

 

So...I'm trying to get Proton 9.13, as I've just read it might be able to run The Casting of Frank Stone without crashes. And...I CAN SEE IT. When I choose Steam on ProtonUp-QT. Or when I choose Bottles. But when I choose Lutris, then add version...the latest GE-Proton it shows me is 8-26. Nothing newer than that. What gives? Why?

 

Hi guys! It's been a long while, and I still struggle with Deluge catching brand new releases of movies that just about everyone's downloading.

A bit of background, I have 1Gbps connection, and Deluge in headless mode (that's why I chose Deluge, for headless you get either Deluge or Transmission...AFAIK those are the only two supporting it).

So, whenever my -arr servers catch the latest release of the very latest movie or TV show, Deluge catches it, and faceplants it with a download error immediately. I can either "force check" or "resume". Either way (doesn't matter which), it will error again in a second or two. This struggle continues for a while of resume/error/resume, until it finally starts to download a larger chunk...for it to error again a minute or two later, after downloading several hundred MB. And then another section of constant errors. Finally, it will get stuck at the end at 99%, where it really needs a "force check" to find whatever data was corrupted, redownload that, and finish.

Any idea why this happens? Any way to fix/avoid it? I'm not sure deluge is connecting to fake seeders giving it corrupted data and it fails to catch/fix it. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!

 

So...yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don't mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they're quite scarce still?

 

Hi! I'm currently looking onto perhaps running Jellystat. But the instructions seem to be a bit...lacking? Is there a step by step guide on how to get it up and running?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

So...just that. I'm looking for some recent developments in the GH clones scene...maybe someone made some GH variation that includes venues and characters? It kinda gave the whole vibe to it.

I installed the mods for GHWT that allow me to play a bunch of extra songs, and that's neat and all, but it plays with an insufferable delay on Linux, way over the limit of what you can adjust/correct in game. It plays at perfect 30/60fps, but it just has intolerable input delay, which forces me to play it on Windows. So...I was wondering if there's anything newer, with more songs etc. And characters, and venues. And blackjack, and hookers.

Thanks!

Hi guys!

When I saw this tiny little guy, I had to go in and get it. And so I received it today. My first experience is...the software is a bit rough at the moment. And now I'm having trouble with the keyboard detection. It's no longer working, and I"m not sure what's wrong. Basically, it worked initially, but after I unplugged it to dump some isos onto it*, the USB keyboard emulation seems to no longer work.

And since I'm one of the very first users...I think have no documentation (yay). I see there's a Chinese forum where more people mention a USB keyboard issue, but I don't think this is sorted.

Anyone else tried it? How's your experiences so far? Any ideas how to fix the keyboard issues? Still, for all its initial wonkiness, I clearly see this as the future for a KVM device, instead of a full blown Raspberry Pi board, which I think is a bit overkill.

*: The 'full' version comes with an embedded 32GB microSD, of which 8GB is for the OS, but the remainder is a separate partition for ISOs...you connect it as a USB storage to a PC and drop your ISOs there. At the moment you don't seem to be able to mount a random file from your PC via the browser UI. Only ISO files it already has in its own storage.
