  • Hardware Watchdogs & Auto Reboots in Proxmox

  • Nice.

    Other actions are possible with watchdog timers, especially with hypervisors. They can invoke a script or use an agent to kill a misbehaving process.

    Ultimately, the best solution is not to need the timers at all, so finding the culprit within the client is ideal, though not always possible.

    VMs hanging on memory often have incorrect caching policies, you may want to investigate that.

    Distro hot take: There's only one suitable distro for linux newbies

    Jump

  • I don't understand what exactly you are arguing for.

    Most folks don't care. They won't be shopping for an os.

    I've been getting people on Linux for 20 years... Trust me, they don't care about features, they care about being able to do their old workflow. These ppl are happy using a Chromebook.

    This is how we get the memes like "Linux user recompiles kernel just to open Firefox"

    Don't worry about memes, haters gonna hate.

  • As Canada's population growth slows, an economic shift emerges

    Jump

  • From the wikipedia article on the cmhc:

    Evidently, rather than focus on low-income housing, the federal government instead initiated a post-war program between 1944 and 1945 that promoted home ownership and private enterprise.

    We've been fighting this struggle on private vs public housing for a long time, and it is simply because we kept in step with the way our southern neighbours do things.

    Now, I want to be clear that I support socially irresponsible, state-sponsored housing, and I do think we've been lucky in Canada to benefit from a pretty good system overall. I am a to believer that Finland is going things correctly by addressing housing head-on.

    I just commented because I don't want ppl to think that "the good old days" in Canada were perfect.

  • from the 1950s to 1990s

    I'm going to guess you are a young person? Those years encompass policies that were absolutely abysmal for Canadian housing. Political embroilments with the USA's foreign policies in the 70s cut back on housing initiatives, severe economic belt-tightening in the 80s, backlash against immigration in the late 50s and well into the 60s. The CMHC itself was founded on ignoring the Curtis report in 1941 and giving most control of housing provision to the private sector instead of focussing on low- to middle- income housing.

    If you're going to be interested in housing history in Canada, you should look at the complete picture. Free market pressure created this situation, policy only followed it.

  • Things I've learned about Frigate

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar situation, I have a coral tpu, but I've switched to openvino. And I see fewer false positives as well.

    I suspect frigate devs aren't working as hard on keeping the coral working with their ML models. Also, that coral driver is pretty stale; it's from the 2014-era of google maps blurring car license plates.

  • Search self-host user groups and access management

    Jump

  • LDAP is the Linux equivalent of a window domain controller

    I assume you meant "Active Directory". AD is based on a heavily modified LDAP schema, but they are interoperable. AD adds a LOT of extra functionality on top of the auth part of it, however.

    Linux it's self can use it too

    That's why I suggested it.

    Jump

  • This is a problem solved for decades by LDAP. There are many, many management and audit frontends for LDAP.

  • What is Radicale and how do I use it?

    Jump

  • but I have no idea how to use it

    Install davx5, connect to radicale, and allow your calendar/contacts access to it.

    I'd like to be able to self host my own calendar and contacts. Is radicale appropriate for this?

    Yes.

    Is it safe to self host a calendar?

    Define "safe".

    Can a self hosted calendar still send and receive invites to other calendars?

    Short answer: no. You are describing caldav/cardav integration with email.

  • Advice on degoogling

    Jump

  • There's a legacy of things tied to the email account, but also auth.

    However, convincing the elderly contacts that I have a new email address is harder than I thought.

  • Do it in stages by shifting services one at a time from a google phone to a non-google device.

    (In my experience):

    Easy: pics, docs Intermediate: calendar, contacts, maps solution Most difficult: email

    I've been trying to de-google for more than 5 years, and email is the surprise for me. It's quite incredible how deeply interacted google and apple have made us. Once that's done, google account will be terminated.

  • It's fine, this is healthy discourse we all need to move forward. If we kick out all the vibe coders instead of discussing with them, we will never get them to adhere to any kind of pattern of behaviour.

  • I wish you'd come in to the comments outside my emotional response to someone else :P

    I'm 50 yrs old now, but I used to react almost the same way you did, I understand where you're coming from.

    I personally believe LLMs (and AI in general) can be great tools to help along with coding and similar tasks, we just don't have a very good culture of their use yet.

  • It might be a good thing for the Internet to get intrinsic resistance to DDoS attacks

    Jump
    1. Akamai is by a huge margin the single biggest CDN in the world, they are the 800lb gorilla. Fastly and Cloudflare aren't minor players by any means, but their volume is not in the same league.
    2. CDNs and DDOS don't have much to do with each other. Cloudflare mitigates DDOS by scaling up network capacity and using pretty advanced pattern detection to simply soak up the traffic. Cloudflare is really, really good at scaling.

    Now on that last point, there will indeed come a time when simply using the engineering technique of "making things bigger" won't work if the attacks become sophisticated enough, but at that point networking will have fully become geopolitical tools (more than they are now).
