    Installing Firefox on windows 11

    Jump

  • S-Mode is an appliance mode for Windows that prevents installation of any app not from the Microsoft Store. Disable S-Mode and you can install any application like you've always done, including Firefox.

  • Backups made easy: btrfs + snapper + snapborg

    Jump

  • It's most useful for something like /home so you have a full backup of your home directories without having to worry if some app has dumped its settings on a folder you don't have marked for backup. But also backing up / is useful because it gives you an easy recovery in the event of say disk failure. Just restore the entire system from a backup.

  • What bios settings do I need to change before installing Linux?

  • Fedora should play nice with Secure Boot enabled. You also shouldn't need to do anything with the TPM.

  • (help) How to disable a laptop's internal keyboard on Fedora?

    Jump

  • Depending on the model and brand, there's probably a YouTube video showing how to disassemble it. This can help you find the keyboard connector and how to disconnect it.

  • So the only difference is one is a phone, and the other a gaming device? Because Nintendo js a gatekeeper in exactly the same way Apple is. Nintendo controls the entire operating system and which apps you're allowed to install on the Switch. You're going to have expand on how Apple has economic power over other companies and people for me.

  • Repurposing an old Alienware r8

    Jump

  • If you've got two 3.5" bays, you could do a RAID 1 (or a mirror in ZFS terms) with them both. This works very nicely with a small SSD for booting. My TrueNAS server has a 120 GB SSD in the M.2 slot that TrueNAS is installed on, then I have an array of spinning disks that forms the main storage array.

    If you are planning any sort of play environment that you might want to keep (like a Pixelfed instance) I'd strongly recommend RAID just for availability in the event of a drive failure. But more than that, backups. They are of number one importance. Before you turn up anything of any importance, figure out a backup strategy.

    • What’s a good NAS OS to install?

    TrueNAS Scale is the go to. Unraid is another popular option.

    • Any fun things I can do besides plex transcoding with a 1080 GPU?

    Local LLM. Look up Ollama.

    • Would it make sense to run a Pixelfed/Mastodon server off this guy?

    You could. That could potentially use a lot of space or be very annoying you having to manage and moderate the instances.

    • Can I run a RAID on it without buying a separate HDD bay?

    What do you mean? Are you talking about a hardware RAID card, or can you physically stuff more than one disk drive into the chassis? For the first, it'll depend on whether it has any open PCI Express slots. For the second, what do you see when you open it up? Are there 3.5" or 5.25" bays open?

    Other than a Plex port forward, I have zero experience putting services out on the public web (but would like to learn!).

    Wanting to learn is an admirable goal. I've not done it myself, but the Linux Upskill Challenge might be a good place to start. Either that, or figure out something you might want to host yourself, then come back and ask for input when you run into trouble or have a question.

  • Advice / sanity check for torrenting & media server

    Jump

  • I just switched from using Medusa and CouchPotato to Sonarr and Radarr. During the library import process, you can specify if the application should "monitor" the media which is what it means to download new content or try and replace with higher qualities. You can import entire libraries as "Unmonitored" so it will show it, but effectively ignore it unless you go back and change it. You can also just not import your library, and start "clean" if you wanted, and I believe it will just ignore the files for anything you don't add.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • I just checked on eBay, and there are multiple listings for single port 100 GbE Mellanox (now nVidia) Connect-X 4 cards in the $60-100 range.

  • Harden sysctl.conf by Sparrow checks

  • So... What is this? It looks like a config file generator? How is this better than Ansible?

    Smartphone suggestions?

  • Pixel with GrapheneOS.

  • Apple chips can be hacked to leak secrets from Gmail, iCloud, and more

    Jump

  • Then you probably don't know about Spectre and Meltdown from a few years ago. Same family of problem on x86-64 (so Intel and AMD chips).

  • YouTube shorts disproportionately promotes alt-right content according to this experiment

    Jump

  • The presenter chats with Milo.

  • Email with own domain service but local?

    Jump

  • If you mainly want to "hide" your IP, you can't. Look at the headers of any message. It'll still show the original source IP, which will be yours.

    For the rest of the time I'd recommend getting a spam filtering service. Mimecast, ProofPoint, Barracuda, etc.

    Messages sent to you go to the filter, which then forwards the message over to your mail server. Outbound you configure your server to use the filter as a smart host. These filters will also buffer messages if your mail server is offline. So if the server is down, the filter holds on to messages and retries delivery later when your server is back up (within reason).

  • Ubuntu Dapper Drake virtio package needed to set up networking in the VM

    Jump

  • I don't recall in virt-manager off the top of my head. But if you make changes in the XML of a domain, you do have to shutdown/restart the domain before they're effective. And just to be safe, I would say to shutdown the domain, then check the XML, then start up again.

    You do say you're just using qemu, so if that's the case and you aren't using libvirt in front of it, shutdown the VM, make sure your qemu command specifies an e1000 network device, and run again.

    I can check virt-manager when I get some free time this evening, if that's what you want/need.

  • Ubuntu Dapper Drake virtio package needed to set up networking in the VM

    Jump

  • You may need to shut down the VM, check the device config to ensure it's set to e1000, then boot it back up. The PCI ID on your original post belongs to the virtio-net device.

  • Ubuntu Dapper Drake virtio package needed to set up networking in the VM

    Jump

  • Instead of trying to backport the virtio device drivers to that version, I'd recommend editing the VM to use the emulated e1000 NIC.

  • Proxmox Datacenter Manager - First Alpha Release

    Jump

  • You must have had a real sweetheart deal on VMware then. Proxmox is cheaper than VMware even under the old pricing. You also don't have to buy the "Standard" subscription. There are cheaper ones.
