A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.
Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I'm not sure anything really works, so I'll say: none exist.

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it's a great bit of software.

Not sure if it's the devs to blame when there's statements like:
Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.
So, I'm guessing it's the business that's not supporting good dev->test->release practices.
But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.

I think they should consider the word "wages" instead.
Let's be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.

I would add that a lot of attacks are done after a fix has been released - ie compare the previous release with the patch and bingo - there's the vulnerability.
But agree, patching should happen regularly, just with a few days delay after the supplier release it.

No it's Crowdstrike... we're just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.

Just to add - if your phone drops off the wifi (mine does and I'm still trying to find out why... maybe due to power saving), then maybe, you could also look at bluetooth tracking (ie something like ESPresence) for HA to know you're still at home.
(Bluetooth can also be setup in the Companion App)

Many thanks for your efforts - I appreciate it's quite a thankless task you're doing.
And... I meant to setup a regular payment when you picked up from Tom and... dunno... fighting off zombies distracted me... so I'll take another look at those links.

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then... I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc... and it's lackof progress was disappointing.
I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too...

Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉
Personally, I'd go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.
(I did something similar with WinXP years ago... eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it's basically running keylogger software.

This is the way.
There's nothing worse than finding your DNS/DHCP has gone down and it's a VM / container running inside a server that can't start because it doesn't have an IP address and you can't resolve names to get the thing started.
Break things down into chunks that make sense - to you.
I have dedicated (low power) hardware for the interweb firewall / DHCP / core network stuff.
I have a NAS for storage with all the backups / reinstall images on (so I can rebuild the firewall if there's no internet, for example)
Then I have everything else in a single server.
Sources: a house fire, water leak & many hardware failures & borked upgrades over many decades.

I mean, from an engineering point of view, hats off to the guy... I know how much effort would've gone into that...
But like one of the YT comments implied; if I tried that in my home, I'd be living in my shed.

I agree with this point: age isn't the measure of usefulness, popularity is
Something might be 10yrs old and uaed by many people... and also something 10 months old is no longer used.
Also, just a thought, if it's "old" it's probably a standard too, so probably doesn't actually need much (relative term) effort to maintain...

I didn't know this was a thing
Got to admit it's quite close to the start date / time to be deciding on a design now - unless I've misunderstood?

Yes, because the CLI command is poweroff, so I do agree with you 🙂
(Please Wait... comments about alternative CLI commands will arrive soon...)

Checkout big-launcher:
big-launcher is a work-in-progress HTPC application launcher. The design is loosely based on the Roku UI, consisting of a sidebar menu on the left, and selectable apps on the right. This project is intended to be the successor to my other HTPC project, Flex Launcher. Compared to Flex Launcher, big-launcher will be more graphically advanced, but less customizable. The program will be written in C++ and utilize SDL for graphics.
I just read about it from the Flex Launcher page, so no idea what it's like, just passing it on...
As a long-term [MythTV](https://www.mythtv.org/) user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

Just stumbled across this (overly dramatic?) article and thought I'd just post it here... It's more to act as a reminder that if you've got a NAS that is serving content to the interwebs, then make sure it's behind a proxy of some kind to prevent weaknesses (ie in the management Web UI) being exposed. Obvz, this article is pointing to Zyxel, but it could be your DIY home-built NAS with Cockpit: [CVE-2024-2947](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-2947) - just an example, not bashing that project at all. I've used Squid and HAProxy over the years (mostly on my pfSense box) - but I'd be interested to know if there's other options that I've not heard of
Before I dive headlong into debugging and throwing bug tickets around, I just needed a sanity check from someone else.. I have an old Lenovo laptop as my daily driver / experimentation box (ie it gets a lot of paclages installed and removed) Recently I've been using Vivaldi's built-in calendar to use as a CalDAV client for my radicale installation. It's the only open tab and Vivaldi's using ~20% CPU (according to htop)... actually, I just closed that tab... even with 1 blank tab the CPU's the same. Is this just my battle weary laptop needing a good clean, or can someone else confirm? TIA
pfSense... Anyone have much experience with the new Kea DHCP server? I'm using 2.7.2 (Community Edition) on a fairly good Celeron based system that's not heavily loaded, but I have 7 network segments (VLANs and physical interfaces), so I have 7 DHCP pools / configs. Just adding 1 more static reservation can cause a significant delay when reloading the service and because I register static reservations in DNS, the network loses DNS so I "break the internet" for a short while. Would Kea fix this?

Well, as the title says, I've had a few notifications that alerted over night and I'm wanting to sleep instead These are ntfy alerts, but driven by Uptime Kuma... and I can't find a programmatic / config option that says "don't notify between 11pm and 7am" (but willing to admit I've just not found it... yet...) I need my (Android, ofc) phone to be on in case of family calls / messages, so I can't use "Do Not Disturb", and remembering to manually mute the ntfy app each night just doesn't make sense to me - computers are quite capable of automating my requirements for me. So... any pointers? I'm sure you're not all getting alerts at 2am because your ISP dropped a few packets...
I secure systems for my day job. That means installing AV software, ensuring Windows Firewall is ON, etc. (Plus many other things...) I've seen discussions around disk encryption here, but I don't recall much about a malware protection. Maybe a little about personal (desktop) firewalls. I'm aware of Clam, etc, but is anyone actually using these tools much? Or are we just presuming we're all immune from the bad guys targeting Windows?
So, I've had it up to here (^^^) with the family using WhatsApp, etc and I'm heading off into the land of XMPP to find a better solution. I've got a Pi3 hanging off my pfSense firewall acting as a kinda DMZ box, so thought I could setup an XMPP server on it (Prosody?) Any advice? Will the Pi crumble (see what I did there) under the pressure of 4 people using it? Issues with proxying outside with a Lets Encrypt cert on the pfSense box, but maybe not inside the network? "Better" server software? Thanks
I've started looking at Ansible to manage all the laptops, VMs, SBCs that I have running Arch Got the ol' pacman installs / updates working fine, but I'm having some problems understanding how to setup AUR to install some of those packages. Main issue is where Ansible is basically doing everything as root, and AUR helpers don't want to run as root, so ok, create a 2nd non-root user first... But even installing an AUR helper (yay) brings problems: I can setup a folder in /tmp/aur , I can git clone the yay package, but then I have no idea how to run ``makepkg`` or then ``yay`` as that non-root user. Does anyone have this already figured out? Or... am I going about this the wrong way?
I'm currently running HA on a Pi3... it works fine, but it's now a single point of failure. I have some new hardware arriving to run VMs in and was intending to move HA to it, but now I'm wondering if I can have HA in 2 places for fault tolerance. I'm aware that there's no built-in failover options, but has anyone done something similar?
Ok, I've done a fair bit with wifi devices, now I'm waking up to zigbee. Got myself an S26 R2 to play with, but just wanted to clarify a few things... So, if I had a few of these around the house, would they form the man backbone of the zigbee mesh network? Or do they not provide that function? And also - possibly n00b question - I presume there's still a need / benefit to flash with esphome? Couldn't see anything obvious on the site and only searched online for a few mins before giving up and asking for experience rather than random sites...
Has anyone used the [Traccar integration ](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/traccar/) with a full Traccar server vs the webhook Android client? There's an issue with the latest version of the Traccar client sending more data than HA can understand ([Traccar Integration: extra keys not allowed #84540](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/84540)) So, I was wondering whether it's worth setting up a full Traccar Server? It seems like total overkill, but maybe it has other benefits?
I have a few devices running Arch... Rasperrys, laptops, a NAS, etc After an update I'll run pacdiff to check for any updated configurations to look out for. On the laptops I'll use meld to compare and it's nice to visually pick and choose what to update. But for the headless units, I'm using vimdiff and it's sometimes difficult to see what to change - esp. when a few lines in a block of changes needs picking and choosing. What other approaches are you using for this?
