  • One of them is a laptop, why ssh to the server isn’t an option? Set up tmux on the server so it always connects to the same session, so you can just continue where you left last time. If you need desktop support, rdp in gnome works really well.

    E.g if you connect with this command, and tmux is installed on the server, it will start a new session named “main”. If a session with that name exists it will connect to that:

    ssh -t pi@192.168.1.2 tmux new-session -A -s main

    Add something to .bashrc on the server to always do the same if you work on that phisically:

    if command -v tmux &> /dev/null && [ -n "$PS1" ] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ screen ]] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ tmux ]] && [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
    tmux new-session
    fi
    


  • It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.

    You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:

    You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant

    Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.

    If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:

    You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:

    If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:

  • Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.

    I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it’s a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.



  • From what I heard is that the NPM project only has 1 developer and so they can’t really respond and fix security flaws in a proper timeframe.

    It’s mostly just nginx with a webui. You can even see the nginx config files if you bash into the container. It has the same bugs as upstream nginx. Do not expose the management port to the internet.

    Plus compared to normal nginx, it’s harder to misconfigure it. Most of my services are just the default config, so I can’t mess it up accidentally.

    About lockouts: Once also happened me, but that was just a messed up update, next update fixed itself. If you lock yourself out you can usually edit the db directly, it defaults to sqlite, but I used it with mariadb.











  • Unlike well-moderated torrent sites, Bitmagnet adds almost any torrent it finds to its database. This includes mislabeled files, malware-ridden releases, and potentially illegal content. The software tries to limit abuse by filtering metadata for CSAM content, however.

    There are plans to add more curation by adding support for manual postings and federation. That would allow people with similar interests to connect, acting more like a trusted community. However, this is still work in progress.

    I think it’s not ready for mainstream use yet, but seems absolutely promising. This will be the most important, how they will solve this without a central authority. Here in the Fediverse admins are basically this authority, I can’t imagine how it could work in a true P2P fashion.
