nanugo: Make Anki decks from your handwritten pdf files (with cli or Python)
This has been my side project for the past couple of days now. I made this because I needed it. Thought someone else might also want this so I made a full cli for it. Hope you enjoy!

What?


I think what you’re looking for is a firewall. Learn about ufw here.

Or, to simply answer your question,

sudo ufw allow from 10.10.100.0/24
sudo ufw enable

Or just use internal ip addr for service.


Literally any file can be a virus. It’s not a matter of file extension.



I get to be the loyal pet to our AI leaders AND get paid before it happens? Sign me up.



Typescript helps a bit but not much


Onlyoffice comes short in terms of features but it supports MSOffice formats bit better than Libreoffice.



It’s a variable created when the conversation started.



They are not the hardest but it’s definitely one of the most fragile ones.


Besides from iOS/macOS, Fastmail seems to be the only choice.

If you’re going to rely on external mailserver anyway, I don’t see no point not to use cloud providers with markdown notes. (almost) Perfectly cross platform.



After I watch something (usually tv episodes), it gets auto-deleted after 3 days. torrents seed for 14 days.

What’s deleting? I have never heard of such concept.


Cops: There’s this one guy selling weed in this area using Tor… Wonder who that is…

Drives with Tor bumper stickers


Call me pessimistic but I think if something is too good to be true, it isn’t.

These things usually limit you one way or another which is going to be pain in the ass to deal with later. They are also not going to last long.

Seems kinda sus. Rather stick with Linode or Vultr…


Are you saying this because i dont know much about firewalls and VPNs right now? Or because i dont have a good backup solution? Or something else?

Yes.

Backup sounds to be enough but I still advice you not to. You can familiarize yourself with security in general before you do something as critical as a password manager.



Sorry, but I sincerely hope you just don’t selfhost Vaultwarden.

Its just a shitty laptop with a slow ass HDD, and who knows how much life its got

I think your main problem is going to be a reliability than security when this is the case. What is your plan for backup? You will be locked out, possibly permanently if you lose Vaultwarden data. Judging by your comments, you really, really don’t want to selfhost password manager of any sort.


Dear DHL, thanks for sending us an e-mail about your concerns about our domain name dhlsucks.com. We usually prefer getting these legal threats in physical form but we are aware of the skillset your company lacks in order to get physical letters delivered to it’s destination

Absolute chad


is it okay to have a subdomain to connect to vaultwarden?

A lot of the people would disagree but I think so, yes. Provided that you have set up all the security measures such as firewall/fail2ban, you’ll be fine.

Am i better off just trusting bitwarden and sticking with them?

I think of it as a matter of personal preferences. But honestly, if you had to ask this without your own basic plans for security, I’d advice you to stick with Bitwarden. You’ll just sleep better, that’s all.


Does it make sense to mix my uses, i.e. media server, open project, etc. co-existing with file server for my docs and general files. Can I segregate portions for only local access?

Yes and yes.

I don’t have tons of time to maintain this. Nextcloud hasn’t been a pain, I log in here and there and make sure everything is updated (nextcloud and the server) and I run the NextCloud security scan to make sure I get an A+. Does it make sense to go for something like the better Synology NASs that can run docker images or would it provide better affordability/functionality to use a mini-pc or a FBmarketplace/craigslist slim pc hooked up to a drive enclosure or something else frankenstein-y. I don’t mind doing basic maintenance, but I can’t afford to spend every other weekend rebuilding things.

Most of the time, setting up for the first time and tweaking for maybe couple weeks top is a pita. I have not spent more than an hour a month after the initial setup phase. Realistically, you wouldn’t need more than what I spent.

I had one time that my OMV fucked up my docker containers but spent about 30 min and it was back to normal. All the other problems were network problems which will happen even if I used Synology.

I have a dead WD MyBook Live and MyBook Cloud on my shelf. WD never updated them to fix the critical security issues, I missed the 40% off upgrade window, and they’re not safe to run with network access. They also sucked even when they were new. I want to avoid products doomed to become dead-end abandonware before I’m ready to upgrade. Are there NAS brands that are known to be better/worse with this? How does homemade NAS fare as far as hardware support and having to upgrade/rebuild when OS versions change.

In the end, if you go with the premade NAS, you will want Synology. There are no real competitors in the market atm.

Homemade NAS has been constantly getting better. Trunas is amazing. OMV is nice although I’m using it just because I’m too lazy to upgrade to Truenas.

I can’t say anything about other NAS brands but homemade NAS is going to get basically the best and the fastest updates there is, depending on the OS of uour choice. They will be painless for most of the time.

Can I purchase/build a simple NAS that I use for storage and serve the files for my media server through a different device like my laptop? Is this better/worse than just streaming from the NAS itself or will I not notice in most cases?

If you’re using homemade NAS, that will be more than enough. If you’re using something like Synology, you’ll be fine but also want something better depending on your usecase.

It sounds like some of the pre-built machines can use drives of different sizes which would allow me to re-use the barely used drives inside of the WD devices. Do any of the self-build solutions allow for this

Check out Unraid. I personally would not do that though.

I would LOVE some book/media/community recommendations for digital hygiene and how to handle store, backup, maintain the deluge of information in our modern lives.

Ask here!

Feel free to ask more/correct me.


password is already in use

No way that’s an actual security threat, right?


I swear you will never, ever be satisfied with anything you do with your mindset. Just chill. It’s a hobby. There is no right way to do it.

There are bazilion things to learn and not enough time. You can’t expect to do everything what enterprise level sysadmins do with big money to spend or, for that matter, to do something that seems like everyone’s doing. We do what we can.

One day you start with Ubuntu and then you hear all the crap about it and you use Debian. It’s all fine but then you use Alma/RockyLinux because that’s what real servers are using. And then you set up 30TB of zfs storage for what, 20-30gb worth of some family photos. You learn shell and python to automate simple things but everyone’s using Rust now so you have to use Rust because python is a slow crap. You want fancy website? How about learning JS, TS, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte? Why stop there? Learn Node/deno. Are you into home automation? Learn how to solder things to Arduino. Why are you not using Proxmox? Learn how to use that too. Do you even firewall? Learn pfSense. Docker’s nice but real servers use K8. Learn that too.

Next thing you know you now own a whole rack of machine that costs more than what most of the small companies have and an imposter syndrome.

Have fun. This rabbithole is sure fun but you will never catch up everything.




I don’t want to be a dick but you just posted that we should pirate music more which for some reason supports the artists more…?



Spotify is well worth the price. I think I cost them more with my near constant streaming of musics.


If you just can’t avoid the IP changes, that can be a vaild option. Thank you for your insight!


Obviously you can. But I can’t see the point of, especially if that service is Pihole nonetheless.


Another tip: IPs don’t change that often than you think. It is static as long as you have a constant connection, which is almost always the case when you use a router. Ensure that the router has little to no downtime and you have a semi static ip address(I have mine for +2 years now). But it is strongly adviced to have some kind of solution in case it actually changes.


Raspberry Pi NAS is fun but barely usable, not to mention Plex/Jellyfin.


Skysilk deleted paid VPS after 3 days notice, blaming customer for not responding in time.
*Copied from r/sysadmin* While not work related, I am absolutely livid with how SkySilk mishandled things for a VPS that I was paying for to host a wordpress backed website for a non-profit cosplay group that I am the manager for. I got a notification earlier today that the google business listing for the group had been suspended and needed to be fixed and resubmitted to become active again. After a bit of thinking about what could have happened, I discovered that the website was down. I logged into the SkySilk VPS portal to discover that the VPS was gone. I submitted a ticket to SkySilk asking for help with this thinking that someone had hacked my account and deleted the VPS. I get a response from SkySilk Support to this effect >Hello, We've been doing maintenance and upgrades across our datacenters these past few weeks, unfortunately as a result we've had to begin the process of decommissioning older hardware and inactive freebie machines from our beta days as they are no longer compatible with our current iteration of the hosting infrastructure. At some point during the process on June 9th your machine was put into a soft-deleted state to allow active users to reach out to us prior to the machine being permanently removed. As there was no response to the action, the system performed the next stages of the decommission process which results in a destroyed state days later (June 12th). While this may have been a free machine dating back from our beta days, we understand that this can be an unfortunate situation. Though recovery of the machine is not possible, your account has been credited $20 to use as you see fit. Thankfully if you have maintained some level of backup for your machine on a local basis, you'll be able to upload that data to a new machine. While our platform does offer a back-up system we always strongly recommend following the "3-2-1" backup method to prevent any data loss. Regards, Stefano M. SkySilk Cloud This was not a "Free" VPS, while it was not an expensive one, as I only paid two dollars and fifty cents a month for it, it was not a free VPS. I was out of the country on a 7-day cruise last week, and also because of the nature of the website I ran on this VPS I didn't check it every day to see if it was up, and while I did have internet access on the cruise, I was on vacation so I wouldn't have been checking stuff like that anyways, the only things I was doing was monitoring my work email in case there were any issues and my co-workers needed questions answered, and my personal usage for facebook, etc. I could care less about that twenty-dollar credit, if they can't bring my VPS back online I am done with doing business with this company. I wouldn't trust them to host anything for our company, and wanted to make sure others have visibility on how they treat their customers. I do have a backup I can restore, but it won't be with these guys when it gets set back up

It’s slightly out of topic of selfhosting but have you tried Obsidian?I personally feel like personal wiki must be in Obsidian.


Porkbun is great. Definitely cheaper. A bit outdated UI but we all know that’s the kinda one you really trust.


TOTP function is what really made it happen. It brings me so much joy to have one, self hosted service to do everything login related compared to using Authy too. I was way too invested in Authy which was never comfortable for me. I now found peace.


Not really, no. I have an HDD and an SSD both in a same machine. Data in SSD gets copied to HDD everyday. I don’t have any remote backup yet. How do you do your remote backup?


Just started hosting Vaultwarden. It’s freaking awesome.
It was one of the easiest to setup and it works flawlessly. I'm a bit paranoid about losing my data even with the backups.. Any recommendation?

Any possible way to download/record videos from DRM video player software?
There's a DRM video player(won't tell you the name as it's only a domestic software in non-English speaking country) that prevents recording by literally any means I can think of. These are the methods that *does not* work - Using screen recorder: DRM software force kills all the softwares related to screen recording/sharing. It goes completely black if you try to do with some niche software. - Using VM: DRM software detects VM and force stops - Using Video capture card: it is somehow blocked. I do not know any specific detail - Using yt-dlp: It's using it's own proprietary software and I failed to get the url of the video. Any possible solutions I might be missing out on?
