  • To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

    It isn’t that “tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine” but more “people don’t realize.” It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

    There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

    There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.



  • Then what about when they constantly refer to the rhetoric as “truth” how Ukraine was full of Nazis that were genociding the Russian minority and how Russia invaded to save them and has committed exactly 0 war crimes?

    I completely get that the US is not a good guy, most of western civilization was built on exploitation, imperialism, and subjugation of people. I even understand the great things China has done as far as huge quality of life upgrades for their people.

    But Russia is only similar to china in that they propagate huge anti-US propaganda and technically support each other as an anti-US coalition.

    Russia is also extremely imperialist, always has been, and literally has annexed (or tried to) multiple nations in the past decades, and is currently trying to do the same. Russia is everything that hexbear stands against, yet they unequivocally support them without any doubt.

    Go say literally any critical things of Russia in hexbear. You will 100% be down voted to oblivion, if not banned. If you say anything against Putin being the greatest leader in recent history, you will be down voted to hell if not banned. I have yet to see any critical speech of Russia on hexbear that didn’t get removed or down voted so hard that the comment will never see the light of day.

    I understand being Anti-US, but if Russia was in the US’s position, they would be just as bad if not worse for the treatment of people and propagating imperialism. Then to censor people about it… I can scream on other instances about how stupid the US is until I pass out and I wouldn’t get banned. That is TruthSocial/theDonald/Twitter territory.


  • Maybe you can clear this up then:

    Why does everyone there unequivocally, wholeheartedly, unquestionably support Russia?

    Russia has barely a trace of communism anymore and it is hard right oligarchy that fits almost every definition of fascism. Not to mention HEAVILY racist and anti-LGBTQ (I have multiple friends who were from Russia and they were the ones who originally told me that before I saw it for myself in Russia)

    Yet the “antifa” hexbear will literally down vote you to hell and ban you if you say anything even slightly bad about Russia.

    Also news@hexbear is 80% articles about the war with everyone citing Russian propaganda as absolute truth and every western media, every human rights group, etc… is completely lying about the war.

    An interesting juxtaposition as they are in the same way pro Palestine and cite those human rights groups as telling the absolute truth in that case



  • You definitely don’t use CUDA then. That is hardware accelerated machine learning basically.

    For you usecase then it doesn’t make much of a difference. DLSS 3.0 is indeed better than FSR, but there are few games that use it i guess. DLSS 2.x and FSR are about on par with each other and FSR is enabled in all games. . Many/most of people don’t even realize that DLSS/FSR is disabled when gaming as the vast vast majority of games don’t even have it and and most don’t think about it, I have no idea if you are in the same boat, but then it makes no sense to base a decision based off of features you don’t use, in my opinion.


  • Games simply don’t benefit enough for the cost of a new processor, let alone new motherboard and ram.

    A new GPU will almost always the best bang for your buck improvement in games.

    Then you should definitely go AMD. There is literally no reason not to unless you are already using cuda or ray tracing a ton. AMD is the best value for the money by far, has a MUCH better software interface (never thought I would say that), comparable or less driver issues than nvidia now, and it also works flawlessly on Linux, including full undervolting support (important on any GPU, but on AMD it is much easier).

    That being said, if comparable performance GPUs are the same price in your region and you use windows, nvidia is also fine to grab.

    Always undervolt your GPU. My 5700XT that ran on 200W before now maxes out at 150W and usually is at 140W with a 1% performance difference. That is like a 9C temp difference.



  • There is one neat trick: don’t expose SSH.

    There is still not a reason anyone has been able to give for 99% of self-hosters to expose SSH.

    If you need to access your machine via ssh while on the go. Wireguard to your local network, use SSH. Done. Unless you are running an always-up public facing site, the amount of times you have to access your machine that can’t wait until after work is very low anyway.

    Bots will scan all ports. That is just how it works. Less than 22, but you will still get spammed. Why force your computer to go through the fail2ban loop and take up resources when it is simply not needed at all and you can block it on another machine?



  • Platformio maybe?

    That thing just sometimes won’t work on some PCBs unless you explicitly specify a build option (I had it once that I had to specify a build option that was already specified in that board configuration)

    Installing pycom stuff too. All of their software is crap (hardware isn’t amazing either) so their released version simply didn’t work by default on a fresh installation and the fix was to roll back to the previous version manually.


  • Solid works does the same thing though. Not crashing but even opening a simple model takes ages in solid works and the vast majority of things are single threaded there.

    Whenever we screen share a part in solidworks, it is literally 5-10 minutes of the meeting taken up by waiting for it to complete visual operations, load things in, and assembly constrainy computing.

    And you pay a shit ton of money for solidworks. Freecad also has these problems, but it is surprisingly not extremely worse than some professional cad software outside of crashing. Topo naming problem, UI, and crashing was definitely the worst thing about it. Apparently 2 of those 3 are getting fixed now.


  • The problem I have with bug reports for things like docker containers (I will just use that example for now) is again documentation… I get that most people make really bad “it broke, fix it now” kind of reports with no detail, but unless you actually dig into and know the code, there is often almost no debugging documentation (github issue templates help with that when the devs make one)

    Where are the logs? If you refuse to use the docker standard of pushing logs through the log api, don’t respect the LOG_LEVEL environment variable, errors are non-descriptive, and don’t provide documentation to where your logs are stored, how the hell can you expect users to provide relevant logs??

    I have run into dozens of pretty big projects that fail with 0 log output and there is 0 log documentation and then the dev auto closes the issue because “not enough logs to help.” The only way to find the logs is to find an old issue where the dev has laid out where the relevant logs are, like WTF? No I am not going to spend an hour looking in every single part of the undocumented directory structure to see if there happen to be logs in there. Use the standard, document your log locations and what they log (no 3ch9qjV7.log is not descriptive enough), or don’t complain about not being able to help without logs.

    If you want to build it yourself, you have to decide on size.

    Are you trying to keep it as small as possible?

    Do you want a dedicated GPU for multiple jellyfin streams? (Definitely get the Intel A380, cheap and an encoding beast)

    If you don’t want to start a rack and don’t want to go with a prebuilt NUC, there are 2 PC cases I would recommend.

    Node 304 and Node 804.

    Node 304 is mini-ITX (1 PCIe slot, 1 M.2 slot for boot OS, 4 HDDs, SFX-L PSU, and great cooling)

    Node 804 is micro-ATX (2 PCIe slots, 2 M.2 slots, 8-10 HDDs, ATX PSU, and 2 chambers for the HDDs to stay cool)

    Why do you want a N100? Is electricity very expensive where you are that idle power is a big factor? Because desktop CPUs are more powerful and the CPUs can idle down to 10W or so without a GPU and they can have way more RAM.

    Tldr; go with prebuilt NUC or go with a desktop CPU for a custom build.



  • For sure! It really depends on where you are in the world. Here in Belgium, black beans are more expensive and not in most German-owned grocery stores and white beans are everywhere. Chickpeas are always easy to find most places it seems. Lentils are also harder to find, but once you do that here are some lentil tricks:

    Red and black lentils: boil for 15 minutes MAX otherwise they will turn to mush. Use smoked paprika, bay leaf, tumeric, black pepper, in the water. Add salt in the beginning

    Green lentils: boil for 20-25 minutes. Season with paprika, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Add salt at minute 15, otherwise they take longer to cook.

    General beans and lentils. Look into a ton of middle eastern and indian foods as lentils and beans are staples there.

    Minamalist baker website and Soph’s plant kitchen have a TON of banging recipes. Pretty much any salad can be improved with black beans, chickpeas, or white beans depending on the style. Any sort of minced meat sauces can be replaced by mushrooms and lentils. Black beans + sweet potatoes are also a great combo and it is very easy to meal prep things like Buddha bowls and grain bowls for lunches.
