    Portability is the key for me, because I tend to switch things around a lot. Containers generally isolate the persistent data from the runtime really well.

    Docker is not the only, or even the best way IMO to run containers. If I was providing services for customers, I would definetly build most container images daily in some automated way. Well, I do it already for quite a few.

    The mess is only a mess if you don’t really understand what you’re doing, same goes for traditional services.



  • There was a good blog post about the real cost of storage, but I can’t find it now.

    The gist was that to store 1TB of data somewhat reliably, you probably need at least:

    • mirrored main storage 2TB
    • frequent/local backup space, also at least mirrored disks 2TB + more if using a versioned backup system
    • remote / cold storage backup space about the same as the frequent backups

    Which amounts to something like 6TB of disk for 1TB of actual data. In real life you’d probably use some other level of RAID, at least for larger amounts so it’s perhaps not as harsh, and compression can reduce the required backup space too.

    I have around 130G of data in Nextcloud, and the off-site borg repo for it is about 180G. Then there’s local backups on a mirrored HDD, with the ZFS snapshots that are not yet pruned that’s maybe 200G of raw disk space. So 130G becomes 510G in my setup.




  • At this stage I’ll probably just mirror my stuff from GH. I have a feeling they’ll be doing something stupid soon, forcing people to look for alternatives.

    Would be nice to collaborate with others, but getting started is hard when you don’t have enough free time.

    It seems Gitea has basic CI + package registries now, that will be plenty for my needs.



  • They could explain things better, you are right. I actually think I remember having almost the exact same confusion a few years back when I started. I still have two keys stored in my pw manager, no idea what the other one is for…

    The decryption has gotten much more reliable in the past year or two, I also try out new clients a lot and have had no issues in a long time. Perhaps you could give it a new go, with the info that you use the same key for all sessions.


  • I have a feeling you are overthinking the Matrix key system.

    • create account
    • create password you store somewhere safe
    • copy the key and store somewhere safe
    • when signing on a new device, copy-paste the key

    Basically it’s just another password, just one you probably can’t remember.

    Most of the client apps support verifying a new session by scanning a QR code or by comparing emoji. The UX of these could be better (I can never find the emoji option on Element, but it’s there…). So if you have your phone signed in, just verify the sessions with that. And it’s not like most people sign in on new devices all the time.

    I’d give Matrix a new look if I were you.

    Wireguard runs over UDP, the port is undistinguishable from closed ports for most common port scanning bots. Changing the port will obfuscate the traffic a bit. Even if someone manages to guess the port, they’ll still need to use the right key, otherwise the response is like from a wrong port - no response. Your ISP can still see that it’s Wireguard traffic if they happen to be looking, but can’t decipher the contents.

    I would drop containers from the equation and just run Wireguard on the host. When issues arise, you’ll have a hard time identifying the problem when container networking is in the mix.

    You install the Google services and Play store from the gOS Apps application, then use them like normal.

    Behind the scenes they run in the sandboxed environment, but to the user it makes no difference.

    • Open the GUI network settings
    • Set DNS to the IP of the PiHole, make sure the “automatic” switch is off.
    • Do the above for each active interface (ethernet, wlan) and for both IPv4 and IPv6
    • Save/apply settings
    • Turn the interface(s) off, then back on
    • resolvectl flush-caches just in case

    Look at resolvectl dns to check there’s no DHCP-acquired DNS servers set anymore

    If you use a VPN, those often set their own DNS servers too, remember to check it as well.





  • Se, että Meta pääsee viesteihin ei ole tuntunut hetkauttavan ketään.

    Niin, tuohan ei ole mikään uusi juttu. Päinvastoin, päästä-päähän-salaus on se uusi juttu…

    Mutta tämän asetuksen myötä viranomaiset saisivat suoraan pääsyn kaikkeen viestintään, ja kaikki viestit sitten joku tekoäly kahlaa myös läpi. Lähettää kuvan lapsista uimassa mummolle, niin kohta on virkavalta oven takana.

    Ja noin 5 minuuttia käyttöönotosta takaportti on käytössä kaikilla jolla on varaa maksaa lahjuksia.



  • Tässähän on se, että sitten ollaan ilmeisesti periaatteessa rikollisia kun käytetään takaportitonta viestisovellusta… Mutta en kyllä usko, että tuota lakia pystyy mitenkään valvomaan. Esim Matrix pyörii kuitenkin HTTPS:n alla, omien kotipalvelimien blokkaaminen olisi melkoinen operaatio.

    Kaikista masentavinta koko jutussa on, että suurin osa ihmisistä ei tiedä tästä todella vakavasta yksityisyyden riiston riskistä yhtään mitään.



  • @ide@masto.ai @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz

    @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz Jostain syystä kommentit ei enää näy minulle kirjautumisen jälkeen…

    Mutta samaa mieltä, tämä on kaikin puolin ihan järjetön lakialoite. Jos menee läpi, niin on kyllä usko yhteiskuntaan aika vähissä. Käytännössähän tuo menisi varmaan niin että “rehellisten” ihmisten viestit sitten luetaan ja muiden tavara kulkee edelleen salattuna, kuten tähänkin asti.

    Entäs pankkiviestintä, verohallinto, etälääkärijutut…?

    Briteissähän meni vastaava laki jo läpi, tosin höllensivät sitä, kun Apple uhkasi blokata iMessagen koko saarivaltiolta.

    Saapahan hyvän syyn painostaa perhe ja tutut käyttämään Matrixia, jos Whatsappiin tulee takaportti. Se, että Meta pääsee viesteihin ei ole tuntunut hetkauttavan ketään.
