  • Anyone managing airtags from Linux?

    Jump

  • Are there any (ideally waterproof) compact devices with long battery life (months~years)?

    I've mostly built my own, but I did order a SeeedStudio T1000-A a few weeks ago, and it's arriving next week.

    It's IP65 rated and estimated 4 months battery (with 1 hour updates). It also has WiFi that you can use with Google's geolocation API when GPS is unavailable.

    However like all LoRaWAN stuff, you do need coverage of a LoRaWAN provider. I use The Things Network since it partners with my city, but Helium is another option (although not currently supported by Traccar).

    On the website I only found a long list of supported devices with brand name search and protocol type.

    Traccar just supports The Things Network webhook API, in the TTN Mapper format (another tracking service, although public). Anything supported by TTN Mapper should work with Traccar.

  • I use a LoRaWAN tracker and Traccar. But you shouldn't take it on international flights due to frequencies being different in other countries.

  • One flash, one packet?

    Jump

  • An Ethernet frame's payload can't exceed 1500 bytes without using jumbo frames. So every internet routable packet is actually less than or equal to 1.5kB.

    Tailscale exit node dns leak

    Jump

  • On that VPS I've also installed pihole to act as DNS for the tailnet.

    What's the upstream server for pihole? Is it also Quad9, or are you doing full recursive DNS with unbound or something?

    Needless to say, Quad9 is not located in my home country.

    Quad9 uses an anycast IP that can route to one of over 200 locations in 90 different nations, usually this routes to your closest location.

    You can use on.quad9.net to check if you are using Quad9.

  • Uh, what level of apology is sufficient for this one...?

  • The Prime Minister of Japan isn't a President, so it shouldn't be red if we're being pedantic.

  • Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes

    Jump

  • It works with Crossover, just hope they can port their changes one day.

  • Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.

    Jump

  • That limp mode is usually controlled by 'BD PROCHOT', it can be disabled, but check your sensors and make sure there isn't something wrong before doing so.

  • nvidia devices not appearing on boot (proxmox)

    Jump

  • Most of the setup guides I've seen, have a udev rule that runs nvidia-modprobe. Here's one I just found.

  • Replace Windows, Excel needed

    Jump

  • Yeah it used to be broken for me too, I think only recently did it actually let me activate it. My university also uses Duo 2FA, and I activated it fine. But sometimes it doesn't activate on the first try, you have to reopen office a few times.

    Also it seems to only let you activate it, you can't actually sign in with your account for online features yet.

    The 30 Largest Cities in Oceania by Population

    Jump

  • Yeah and North Lakes makes no sense to be mentioned, especially when the ABS lists it's population as 23k and there's much bigger suburbs of Brisbane.

    I wonder if the designer used an AI as their source?

  • Replace Windows, Excel needed

    Jump

  • I avoid O365 as much as possible, but when I need to, I do occasionally use it with Crossover and it seems to work. Activation was a little bit janky, but did work.

    Crossover is a paid version of WINE, and the other apps I've seen mentioned run Windows in a VM and forward the apps through RDP. There are advantages to both approaches, but I prefer the efficiency of Crossover.

  • Admiration

    Jump

  • I think Windows actually disables hibernation on some computers now, but 'Fast startup' (the hibernate instead of shutdown feature) works independently from hibernation, so it's definitely possible for it still to be enabled.

  • Admiration

    Jump

  • A lot of people just close the laptop lid or turn off the monitor thinking that's rebooting. Or they shutdown thinking it's better than restarting, but Windows' default shutdown is more of a close all programs and hibernate, so it often doesn't fix things.

  • Hurry pls it's urgent

    Jump

  • While it's still awful, I believe they donated hardware, not money.

  • Question about VRR

    Jump

  • Intel gets around this by designing their cards with a DP to HDMI converter chip built in, perhaps that's possible with external adaptors?

  • Question about VRR

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but one of my monitors had VRR supported on a NVIDIA card, but not on an Intel card. I ended up modifying the EDID to enable extd_timg and it's been working fine since then. I wrote a blog post a while back here.

  • Cloudflare Tunnel: proxy-dns Command Removal 2026 | What are some nice alternatives to encrypted DNS?

    Jump

  • they are asking customers to shift to their WARP client instead.

    I just use WARP, and just send plain text DNS over it to 1.1.1.1. I believe this is superior to DoT or DoH, because the client don't have to do any sort of handshake for each request and everything still goes over UDP while still being encrypted. If it's setup correctly, one.one.one.one/help will say you're using DNS over WARP.

    Actually I've got a weird setup where I've converted the WARP client to a wireguard profile and I run it on my router, but only route 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2 through WARP. That way I can still traceroute 1.1.1.1 while debugging my network.

  • Arch Linux Website Hit by DDoS and Temporarily Limited to IPv6

    Jump

  • The botnet's code probably doesn't support IPv6.

    Is there something about it that makes it more resilient to DDOS?

    While archlinux.org doesn't do this, you can have multiple A and AAAA records which can provide DNS based load balancing, and IPv6 is easier to do that with since you usually get allocated a whole prefix. Of course that only helps to distribute the load, if your internet connection is the bottleneck then it won't help.

  • [SUPPORT] iptables - rules for OUTPUT chain

    Jump

  • also allow responses from any established connection

    You shouldn't need to as iptables is stateful, you would need to for stateless firewalls though.

    You'd also need to open UDP 123 for NTP, I see that mistake a lot.
