Top 10 reddit moment: worthless agreeing meme response to an unhelpful comment that doesn’t even answer the question asked.

Some hobbies have minimal levels of skill/knowledge/equipment to properly do them, and I’d argue that self hosting is one of them. You can say people are hostile to beginners, but I might say people are trying to save them from themselves by not just telling them how to slap shit together so they can put it on the Internet and get owned by Internet Background Radiation in a short period of time.

My personal opinion is that beginners are too over confident in their skills or expect setting things up is like setting up an online account, and expect everything to be ready for them to install in their preferred method, and get upset when people tell them they need to upskill to be able to accomplish their goal.

An example of this is a conversation I had with someone online about some docker distributed app, and people were trying to get the person to use docker like the install doc says instead of trying to figure out how to just install it directly into the OS, because that’s the way they’re used to doing stuff and they were determined they weren’t going to change now despite the software author’s supported path not including direct install. If the person was willing to learn docker (which is not very difficult if you can follow a tutorial and use compose files), they’d be able to quickly accomplish what they want while also opening more doors for them in the future.

My hero, thank you!

Can I ask how you do that? I have some debian and fedora boxes I should configure for that

had to re-test people and strip their badge/gun if they failed

And I wonder how many of those stripped of their badge and gun went a county over and got hired?

Problematic officers are usually just moved around when they get in trouble, so I have no faith that the officers with mental health issues actually got help or actually removed from the force entirely. And that’s assuming those who didn’t fail the second time legitimately got that score and didn’t have a thumb in the scale…

Good luck arguing that a missed config counts as an ‘unforeseen issue’. If they go that route, people will be all over them for not being SOC compliant wrt change control.

99% uptime in a year gives you 3.65 days of downtime, which I think would still be within SLA (assuming nothing else happened this year). Though, once you get to 1 9 reliability (99.9%), you’ve got a shift and change you can be down before you breach SLA.

If their reliability metrics are monthly, 99% gets you less than a shift of down time, so they’d be out of SLA and could probably yell to get money back.

Interesting, I mainly use audiobookshelf for podcasts along with my audiobooks, I’ll have to look at what the ebook integration is like.

But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

That just means they need to ship the model and a way to run it locally. I’d love that, and wouldn’t give a shit if it took a long time to run on my hardware for something like that

I usually just do

Docker compose down
Docker compose up -d

As I would with any service restart. The up -d command is supposed to reload it as well, but I prefer knowing for certain that the service restarted.

Out of curiosity, what did you update and what broke? I had that happen a lot when I was first getting started with docker, and is part of how I learned. Once you have a basic template (or have dec supplies example files), it makes spinning up new services less of a hassle.

Though I still get yelled at about the version entry in my fines because I haven’t touched mine in forever

Brb, setting up tons of instances for my area so it looks popular

Docker compose pull; docker compose down;docker compose up -d

Pulls an update for the container, stops the container and then restarts it in the background. I’ve been told that you don’t need to bring it down, but I do it so that even if there isn’t an update, it still restarts the container.

You need to do it in each container’s folder, but it’s pretty easy to set an alias and just walk your running containers, or just script that process for each directory. If you’re smarter than I am, you could get the list from running containers (docker ps), but I didn’t name my service folders the same as the service name.

All your docker data can be saved to a mapped local disk, then backup is the same as it ever is. Throw borg or something on it and you’re gold.

Look into docker compose and volumes to get an idea of where to start.

Really wish we would have gone hyper v instead of Stack HCI

Congrats on doing it the way the website owner wants! You’re now into the content, and you had to waste seconds of processing power to do so (effectively being throttled by the owner), so everyone is happy. You can’t overload the site, but you can still get there after a short wait.

You’re given the challenge to solve by the server, yes. But just because the challenge is provided to you, that doesn’t mean you can fake your way through it.

You still have to calculate the answer before you can get any farther. You can’t bullshit/spoof your way through the math problem to bypass it, because your correct answer is required to proceed.

There is no way around this, is there?

Unless the server gives you a well-known problem you have the answer to/is easily calculated, or you find a vulnerability in something like Anubis to make it accept a wrong answer, not really. You’re stuck at the interstitial page with a math prompt until you solve it.

Unless I’m misunderstanding your position, I’m not sure what the disconnect is. The original question was about spoofing the challenge client side, but you can’t really spoof the answer to a complicated math problem unless there’s an issue with the server side validation.

Please, explain to us how you expect to spoof a math problem that you have to provide an answer to the server before proceeding.

You can math all you want on the client, but the server isn’t going to give you shit until you provide the right answer.

I’ll give that a look, thanks!

What do you do to protect your micro’s m.2 disks? I had one that cooked itself, and I haven’t put much load on it since I replaced the drive.

Are you under their jurisdiction? If not, I’d not even acknowledge the contact from them, damned spammers trying to scare people with bullshit…
