...what support? They barely reply any queries people post in their google groups. If you go there you'll see most people will try to reach them either due to servers down (the main issue at hand) or login issues which never get fixed (the longest standing issue, better create a different new subdomain) from what I've seen. I've also tried repeatedly to reach them regarding changing the token access, but with no luck. It's a free service so I can't complain, but the only support you actually will get is from other users, and for some scenarios that's not quite enough.

EDIT: Oh wow right after posting this I just saw they actually replied regarding the SSO/tokens issue most people have (SSO failed due to the reddit snafu, you end up with just the token and no chance to do any further changes to your account again). This has been an ongoing issue for over two years, I just saw they finally replied (I think for the first time) a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I'm seriously considering also a paid domain, so it's good to hear from your experience. I might go try some other free provider first though.

Does it matter?

No, it does not change, but why is this something of concern? The problem is duckdns DOES NOT REPLY providing DNS replies, not to my own servers, but to people outside looking for my servers by typing their address. Duck fails to provide a response to those queries, and users get timeouts. I can frequently replicate this with either dig or nslookup, from different machines, either inside my network or at random connections.

I managed today to run certbot to register 2 new subdomains that yesterday consistently failed with a long timeout during THE WHOLE DAY. Today the same certbot command on the same server ran straight at the first attempt.

So...yeah. Unreliable.

Great...thanks. I'm going to look them up.

Glad it works for you guys. Here it fails to respond at least once a week or so, and it can last one hour or more sometimes. It's unpredictable. And makes the server look buggy.

A sample for measure...there's a lot of these on reddit:

It will fail to resolve randomly, and then your services goes down. And you expend quite a while figuring out whatever might have failed until the typical "when in doubt, it's DNS" pops up. This also applies when you're trying to add/renew subdomains.

Just a sample...

It seems to frequently stop responding.

 

Hi guys!

I'm considering moving away from duckdns, as it's becoming increasingly unreliable. I'd like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I'm open to suggestions!).

My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

Just that...would you recommend any decent free Dynamic domain that is well regarded privacy-wise?

DuckDNS is becoming rather unreliable and prone to failure.

Thanks!

The end result is the same though. First phone unlock is the one a bad actor can't get through.

GrapheneOS is the easiest ROM install bar none. Get the en browser (needs to be chrome-based) to the install url, hook the phone cable, and let it run. It's super straightforward. It's not rooting though, you don't get root access by default.

GrapheneOS also has this. Not sure stock android includes it.

Is it any good?

You only need to see how young Tom Scott looks in the video to know this is indeed very old news. They seem to have necroposted this thing from 10 years ago and posted it now without any reference about when the events happened, to make it seem relevant/recent.

 

Hi guys!

I'm trying to create a WebDAV server that shares a NFS mount from my NAS. In short, I'm trying to create/share a backup folder in my NAS so my Graphene phone can run the backup.

How can I do this? All the guides mention about sharing /var/www/webdav and chrooting it. How can I share my own folder? Does it need to be /var/www/webdav? Can I share something else instead? Should I just link my NAS mount to /var/www/webdav?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! I’m planning a 3-4 days weekend trip to Taiwan in early December. I haven’t booked a flight yet, so I can land in any other airport that isn’t Taipei, if the location is better. I’d like some more natural/countryside routes to do on a scooter if possible…not sure if away from the crowds is a possibility. My initial idea earlier this year was Taroko mountain/gorge…but yeah, I guess it won’t be in very good condition just yet. I saw that many parts aren’t planned to reopen anytime soon. What would be any good alternatives?

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi guys!

I purchased a few months ago a new AMD PC, with a 7700 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 7800XT GPU. I've noticed since, that my electric bill has been increased (compared to when I used an Intel i7 6700 with a 1070 GPU), I was wondering, is it possible to use a hybrid GPU setup kinda like laptops, where the iGPU from the CPU is activated for normal tasks, and the discrete GPU is only activated on demand? Would the GPU be unpowered/sleeping in the meantime?

....all this from a Linux perspective, I'm running Nobara 40.

Thanks!

Hi guys! I'm looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don't really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I'd like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn't work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.

What alternatives do I have?

Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that's the form factor (Type G, I think?) I'd be needing.

 

So... Yeah. Just that. How can i enable Firefox translation in Android? I'd like to be able to use the offline translation feature.

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! I'm trying to disable Firefox' menu that shows when you right click. Sometimes, depending on context (ie, right click on a youtube video) you might get a webpage menu. But Firefox places their right click menu on top of the web's menu, blocking everything. I want to disable this, so the website/extension takes precedence, and the menu doesn't show in this case.

I see on some pages the option should be: dom.event.contextmenu.enabled, which should be set to TRUE in order to let webs or apps take precedence. It is already set to true, and yet FF keeps placing their menu on top of the website's. What else can I check?

EDIT: Just in case, there seems to be also an services.sync.prefs.sync.dom.event.contextmenu.enabled, which might be synced from my mozilla account? Not sure how this one should be set.

 

Hi guys! Just...this. Whenever I search for firefox on the software installation app, or via dnf, I can see the only available version is v121...or I can update via flatpak to a newer one. How come the repo version is so old? How can I get the v130 officially?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).

 

Hi guys!

Back in the day I used to have a VM holding nginx and all the crap exposed...and I did set it up with fail2ban. I moved away from it, as the OS upgrade was turning messy, and rebuilt onto an LXC container. How should I use fail2ban/iptables in order to protect/harden my LXC container/server? Do the same conditions apply, or will I have any limitations/issues due to the container itself?

Thanks!
