I realized it happened with me whenever my computer was idle for a few minutes and the monitor turned off. Eventually it fixed itself, but it sure was annoying having to change the brightness back to the value it was before it went on stand-by.

Do you have to do this every time you update your phone?

Care to share how you disabled every bit of AI in the phone?

Yet companies are manipulating survey results to justify the FOMO jump to AI bandwagon. I don’t know where companies get the info that people want AI (looking at you Proton).

I maintain the DNS plugin for Vultr and I can say that it’s “safe”, but if you’re worried you should check their source code.

I believe it’s easier to have a vulnerability in the external provider’s API (for example, caddy-dns/vultr uses govultr) than Caddy. But I wouldn’t take things for granted if I was skeptical about these plugins.

I have a k3s cluster for fun and I can admit that k8s is way too complicated.

I don’t want to dig hours through documentation to find what I’m looking for. The docs sometimes feel like they were written for software devs and you should figure part of the solution yourself.

I have a ExternalName service that keeps fucking up my cluster everytime it restarts, bringing down my ingresses, because for some reason it doesn’t work and I have no idea where to look at to figure out why it doesn’t work - I just end up killing the service and reapplying the yaml file and it works.

I had to diagnose why my SSL certificates would get stuck in “issuing” in cert-manager, had to dig through 4 or 5 different resources until I got to an actual, descriptive error message telling me that I configured my ClusterIssuer wrongly.

I wanted a k3s cluster to learn but every time I have issues with it I realize it’s a terrible idea.

I wish I had podman + compose but it does seem like a docker-compose is more complicated. Also, I wish I could do ansible but I have no idea where to start (nor how it works).

EDIT: oh yeah I also lost IPv6 support because k3s by default doesn’t enable v6 and I was planning on using Hetzner CCM to have a 2 node cluster until I realized Hetzner Networks don’t support v6.

Can you use CrowdSec to track logs from a k8s pod? Say I have my website and some other services hosted on a k3s cluster, do I need to spin up a new pod for CrowdSec or should it be installed on the host?

where?

I guess Wifi 6 doesn’t work in 5GHz band?

The VPN bandwidth doesn’t need to be that good, I was checking the GL iNet models and 200 Mbps on WireGuard is enough for me.

It could be the issue if above 4g decoding/resizable bar is not enabled: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3343

had a similar issue that my system would freeze completely after playing FO76, had to downgrade the kernel to get my games to work again.

I found Tailscale/Headacale way more difficult to setup than Wireguard.

I tried 5 different credit cards to setup my account and none of them worked for the free tier. Contacted customer support, they simply said “well we can’t do anything about it, it’s clearly a problem in your end and not ours even though you tried 5 different credit cards to pay for the service”.

My issues with Samsung nowadays is that they offer a very low TBW warranty compared to other brands like Kingston.

I wanted to buy a 1TB storage for my games and I couldn’t decide between Samsung and Kingston. Samsung had a 600TBW warranty for the 1TB model, Kingston had 800. I ended up choosing the KC3000 from Kingston.

For the panels issue, you can launch CS2, press Alt+F3 to open the window settings, go to configure special app settings, then set an option for the app so that it always launches in fullscreen mode.

I also added a shortcut to make games fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

I believe this is a bug with KDE and should be reported to them. The same issue is reported on Valve’s repository but nothing has been done from Valve’s side to fix this issue.

EDIT: link for relevant issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3274

the workaround is written in one of the comments:

1. Open CS2
2. Press Alt+F3
3. Click on “More actions”
4. Click on “Configure special applications settings”
5. Add a property
6. Select “Fullscreen” (click on the “+”)
7. Select “Force” and “yes” for the “Fullscreen” parameter
8. Click on “Ok” (apply and close)

It’s still not an excuse to just ignore the security update because you might not be a target for hackers.

Just check your logs, there’s probably a dozen or more requests trying to access wordpress pages on your server, or login via SSH. They want to take over your server so it can be part of a botnet.

I’d recommend Forgejo/Gitea as others have mentioned or https://sourcehut.org (instance available at https://sr.ht/)

Haven’t seen some of these before. Ones I particularly like are:

• Tirar o cavalo da chuva: take your horse away from the rain = give up on something
• Lavar as mãos: wash (the) hands = do not involve yourself in something

Going to therapy doesn’t mean you have a disorder.

If you own a domain name you can use the DNS-01 challenge instead of hosting a web server to serve the challenge response.

With DNS-01 it will add a TXT record to your DNS zones and check if the record exists to verify that you own the domain and then issue the certificate.

Depending on which tool you use, they usually support DuckDNS and some other free DDNS providers. If you have your domain on a registrar, chances are that it’s also supported.
