If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.
If they take your complaint seriously then I'd persevere with them... if they don't then they're not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.
It's not just browsing discussed there. Re-read that again with cybersecurity in mind... online banking shouldn't be done whilst you're sharing a browser with tiktok (as an example)
Yep, there's private / incognito modes, but they just drop all the local session data, they're not any more secure.
:) you don't have to use containers, but they do simplify the install.
I don't use containers.
There's also no Setup.exe to download run where you just Next, Next, Finish.
So, instead, I have to install separate packages, configure them, deal with conflicting requirements, etc...
Did I have to learn Docker? No. Did I have to learn something else? Yes.
As someone else mentioned, spending some time learning what / how / why you're doing will help massively later on. Probably why you're getting Docker answers, they're auto-suggesting it to start you off with something simpler...
Yeah, good summary - I'm not using the latest version, but LiveTV channel changing still takes a second (on a dual tuner machine), but, like you said, we rarely watch LiveTV now and if we do, we're not really channel hopping either.
Yeah... I've been trying out the resizable cards and... well... hopefully the next version will be better.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for incremental improvements and that means we need a Step1 somewhere.
I wanted to just change one dashboard, but there's no migration option (yet?) which is fair enough, so I created a new one and tried copying over cards...
I have a couple of Glance cards with a title and I can't really get a single row of icons with title to line up nicely unless I use a 3-row card...
But, it's also nice to slim down a Graph card to just 2 or 3 columns wide if it's a short-duration graph.
I look forward to the next revision.
I'm still dabbling with this, but so far I have a Pi Zero2W with a reSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT and an old speaker (no idea where from) that (luckily?) has the correct connector on.
It's ok as a geeky POC, but it needs work to gain sufficient WAF
How well doea the NUC perform as a Frontend? I have a small TV in a spare room which could benefit from a separate Frontend...
I think Myth can record from the homerun boxes?
I'm lucky the OTA scheduling works well enough for me - only issue is that I can only see a few days ahead.
Ah, ok, you're a bit of a contributor... I helped with a couple of patches and loads of wiki edits (that needed much love a few years ago)
TVDb is still hit & miss, but much better than it used to be.
And yeah, Myth's not ideal for external streaming...
Yeah, I was kinda thinking about a combined Myth Backend / *arr box and then see whether Myth Frontend or Jellyfin worked "better" (for my use case)... just need a spare weekend to try it all out.
Yeah, now it's charity shops.. walk in, pay almost nothing for some DVDs, rip the disk, return them to another charity shop...
Better business model than Blockbuster 😉
Yeah, Myth's built-in internet browser is pretty dire - I have a 2nd virtual desktop to open a browser if I want to watch something via the internet, but I don't bother with Netflix, etc...
No. Maybe it is where you're located, but for me it's fine.
Movies come from the high seas, so I'm not too worried about them, but there's some good stuff on terestrial TV definitely
Any MythTV Users Here?
As a long-term MythTV 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?
Yep, completely agree. We only (really) learn when we make mistakes.
I usually aim to do my "first" (of whatever) as best I can, but totally prepared to wipe & restart...
Well... of course only time will tell, but the fact that we've been doing that for sooo long... (me for ~20 years?) would imply that it might just be around for longer than snap/flatpak/etc
Of course, sometimes it's disguised as yay -S...
NAS vulnerabilities
Seems like as good a time as any to upgrade older hardware
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 - 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
Sanity check: Vivaldi high CPU usage
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 DHCP (& DNS) Performance
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?

Pause alerts during the night
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...
Desktop Security
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?
XMPP... on a Pi?
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
AUR with Ansible
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?
HA redundancy options
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?
Sonoff S26 R2 Zigbee
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...
Traccar Integration
Has anyone used the Traccar integration 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)
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?
PacDiff comparisons
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?
