Been using Yggdrasil for quite a while at this point, both for encrypted service communication and also as unbreakable VPN links to various places where I don’t want to have to mess about with NAT traversal.

It’s been nice to be able to just drop it onto my router, add an ALFIS DNS entry, and have all my devices just work with Yggdrasil with no additional configuration.

No, the Rust standard library only contains functions useful for standard Rust, not POSIX/Linux user-space -specific functionality from libc.

Because it’s a rust implementation of coreutils, and not a rust implementation of coreutils and libc?

I’m holding off on Fluxer until they decide how they’re going to implement federation, since the designs they’ve communicated publicly so far have all seemed like they prioritize siloing and putting excessive load on self-hosted nodes.
Their first proposed solution would’ve required each self-hosted server to be able to handle every user on every other server in the network - a proposal which they’ve since scrubbed from their page.
The latest proposal I can find at least speaks about aggregating connections through the users server, so it’s not as insane (Only requiring each self-hosted server to be able to handle requests from every other server on the network). But it still forbids intelligent caching, and instead seems to consider recommending the use of cloudflare to reduce the load from their design to be a good solution.

I made an NFC/QR code card for my wifi details at home, and that also includes the details written in clear text on the card, since some devices simply don’t do QR (or NFC in my case).

I absolutely love that zip-tie mounting solution, it’s the kind of thing I wish I saw in more homelab setups.

People joke about linux.exe, but there was such a thing as andLinux/coLinux

I really do hope that Funkwhale get their 2.0 release out soon, should make self-hosted Spotify-like stacks simpler to do, and the fact that it works for creation and distribution as well is great.

I think the login-redirect system is just broken for ADFS, it feels like it adds all the SSO-logout URLs for all systems you’re logged into to the redirect queue when it times your session out.
Which means you’ll have to log in enough times to exhaust that queue before it finally reaches the actual system you’re trying to log into.

But that’s just an assumption.

Added an edit with the filter line

I actually recently added the Microsoft logout page to µblocks domain filter at work, since it would every now and then trigger a logout the very first page load after I’d log in to the email there.

This has also somehow caused a bunch of other AD-connected systems to suddenly behave a lot better when it comes to session termination.

Edit: Since people were asking for it, this is what you need to add to the “My filters” tab in your UBO config;

||login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout^$document

This will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.

Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.

If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.

There are actually a few projects doing exactly that, at least for the early entries;

• FreeSO - Open-source version of The Sims: Online but with a bunch of modern improvements, main server shut down at the end of last year
• Simitone - Single-player interface for FreeSO
• FreeSims - Open-source engine for The Sims
• OpenTS2 - Open-source implementation of The Sims 2 engine in Unity

Development pace for them is somewhat slow due apparent lack of interest - and a healthy dose of fear of EA interference - though.

Let me tell you about Bumblebee and their issue #123, though that one’s even worse seeing as installing system packages are done as root.

(Their install/update commands included rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg)

People love to complain about CMake, often with valid complaints as well. But it - to this day - remains the only build system where I’ll actually trust a project when they say they are cross-platform.

Being the Windows maintainer for OpenMW, it used to be absolute hell back a decade and half ago when an indirect dependency changed - and used something like SCons or Premake while claiming to be “cross-platform”, used to be that I had to write my own build solutions for Windows since it was all hardcoded against Linux paths and libraries.

CMake might not be the coolest, most hip, build system, but it delivers on actually letting you build your software regardless of platform. So it remains my go-to for whenever I need to actually build something that’s supposed to be used.
For personal things I still often hack together a couple of Makefiles though, it’s just a lot faster to do.
