Do you mean this config option?

[server] 
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232, [::]:5232

That is binding the service to a network interface and port. For example your computer probably has a loopback interface and an Ethernet interface and WiFi interface. And you can bind to an IPv4 and or IPv6 address on those interfaces. Which ones do you want radicale to listen to traffic from and on what port? The example above listens on all interfaced both IPv4 and IPv6 and uses port 5323 on all. Of course that port must not be in use on any interface. Generally using this notation is insecure, but fine for testing. Put the real IP addresses when you’re ready.

Yeah, the definitions are actually more about alignment with the US political parties rather than left or right. And since both parties are demonstrably right of center, just to different degrees, the bias meter should only be used to determine which political party’s sponsors likely biased the article.

For example, an article saying climate change is not human caused and presenting debunked evidence will be ranked mostly center and second mostly right. But an article calling for incentives to reduce use of fossils fuels will be ranked mostly left. That’s mostly center if anything. An article calling for the government to explicitly force companies to stop using fossil fuels would be mostly left and center. One further advocating for the government to take over energy companies that don’t comply and make energy production public would be mostly left. Just presenting scientific evidence and refusing to give a voice to debunked “alternative facts” is not a leftist position, it’s a centrist one at best and should be the baseline.

Yeah, it’s easy enough to configure it properly, I have it set up on all of my servers and my laptop to treat it as a network mount, not a local one, and to try to connect on boot, but not require it. But it took me a while to understand what it was doing to even look for a solution. So, hopefully that saves you time. 🙂

NFS is really good inside a LAN, just use 4.x (preferably 4.2) which is quite a bit better than 2.x/3.x. It makes file sharing super easy, does good caching and efficient sync. I use it for almost all of my Docker and Kubernetes clusters to allow files to be hosted on a NAS and sync the files among the cluster. NFS is great at keeping servers on a LAN or tight WAN in sync in near real time.

What it isn’t is a backup system or a periodic sync application and it’s often when people try to use it that way that they get frustrated. It isn’t going to be as efficient in the cloud if the servers are widely spaced across the internet. Sync things to a central location like a NAS with NFS and then backups or syncs across wider WANs and the internet should be done with other tech that is better with periodic, larger, slower transactions for applications that can tolerate being out of sync for short periods.

The only real problem I often see in the real world is Windows and Samba (sometimes referred to as CIFS) shares trying to sync the same files as NFS shares because Windows doesn’t support NFS out of the box and so file locking doesn’t work properly. Samba/CIFS has some advantages like user authentication tied to active directory out of the box as well as working out of the box on Windows (although older windows doesn’t support versions of Samba that are secure), so if I need to give a user access to log into a share from within a LAN (or over VPN) from any device to manually pull files, I use that instead. But for my own machines I just set up NFS clients to sync.

One caveat is if you’re using this for workstations or other devices that frequently reboot and/or need to be used offline from the LAN. Either don’t mount the shares on boot, or take the time to set it up properly. By default I see a lot of people get frustrated that it takes a long time to boot because the mount is set as a prerequisite for completing the boot with the way some guides tell you to set it up. It’s not an NFS issue; it’s more of a grub and systemd (or most equivalents) being a pain to configure properly and boot systems making the default assumption that a mount that’s configured on boot is necessary for the boot to complete.

I have m.2 hats for the couple of raspberry pis that need more intense disk operations. Never use SD cards or flash drives, which generally end up being just SD cards in a USB package.

Are you wanting something that you don’t have to download from GitHub yourself (so a project that hosts a docker container somewhere and just code is in GitHub is OK), or are you looking to boycott any project that is not boycotting GitHub and so any part of that project should not use GitHub for any code at all in which case possibly even dependencies should not be on GitHub even if they publish their distributions elsewhere? Or somewhere in between?

And just like that Austrian citizens will be the target of every hacker group on the world as the state malware will be a weak link in every device’s security layers and once they crack it, they’ll have deep access to thousands or maybe even millions of people’s devices depending on ho w broadly police decide to deploy it (likely on every device of every person who is arrested, detained, or has any contact with police for any reason like perhaps just visiting prisoners or entering government buildings to renew a passport.)

Caveat, any reputable brand of thermal paste is basically the same. I’ve experienced many cheapo brands, especially stuff included with cheapo hardware, that had texture issues or nearly liquefied at high temperatures and made a mess. Also, had one that evaporated partly and tested positive for lead, so not the most healthy. Though one time is not a big deal, it is a big deal if you used it a lot.

Anyway, stick to reputable brands and most are the same. Slight differences are usually in max temperature, but that doesn’t really apply to computer hardware much, but does affect some other moderately high temperature hardware that needs even cooling that I work with, like 3D printing.

The only thing you gain from VPN is that the target server does not know your IP.

Not necessarily true. A VPN also prevents the ISP from collecting data on all of your connections. Currently ISPs (in the US at least) collect and sell what sites you visit even if they can’t see the data due to HTTPS. Additionally, some have implemented, but then removed due to backlash but may implement again some day, MitM attacks on HTTPS connections in order to insert ads. Using a trusted DNS server that they don’t also intercept can help avoid this, though. With a VPN the ISP won’t see any of this, only the connection to the VPN server and have no way to insert themselves as long as they don’t intercept the VPN connection itself before it’s established.

It’s not that kind of breaking change. It’s a change that won’t affect most people. Only those who chose to use a custom location for their media location and chose to set that to a relative path instead of an absolute one which caused the application to have trouble resolving the paths. The change eliminates a bug by preventing people from doing something that was not intended to be supported. So it’s not a “breaking” change necessarily in the sense that they are changing documented functionality. They are eliminating a way that people can misconfigure the application which may in some cases cause the application to break if someone successfully configured the application in this unintended way.

Yeah iOS is weird about background processes and some versions are bad about killing parts of apps but not informing the app it was killed when restoring the state of the main process. One reason I personally don’t develop my stuff for iOS. It requires a lot of extra code to deal with the disparate ways in various versions that coming back from being in the background requires. Since just restarting everything can be frustrating to users.

It’s a full release, not a point/patch release, the title just doesn’t show the second .0. They use semantic versioning so it’s major.minor.patch.

It’s also a very minor change and only affects a single configuration property and only people who used relative paths in that property.

I had a lot of trouble with keeping the connections stable and having to reatart services with both KDEConnect and Warpinator, but LocalSend has been perfect every time. I’m using a Fedora laptop with a Pixel 7 Pro running GrapheneOS.

This is why I never used their images for any of my projects and do everything I can to use official charts made by the software vendor itself or create my own and put them in my personal git repo for automated deployments.

Any business that gives away middleware for free, likely does that in the hopes of monetizing that pretty directly and eventually will be pressured to increase monetization of those things by those investors or will be forced to stop developing those products due to lack of funding. Middleware really doesn’t have many other good ways to monetize.

The laws aren’t about protecting children, though. Only legitimate sites will implement it, and legitimate sites generally aren’t the most problematics sites.

The laws are actually designed to allow for the tracking of adults’ activity and link them to that activity in a way that is provable in court. Anyone who wants to use the sites for nefarious purposes can just impersonate others and frame them for the use. So, there’s no real value in any of it, just a way to get campaign funding. The real solutions would be too expensive to implement and require experts to design who are much more likely to be highly educated and thus unwilling to help a fascist state, so they’ll never happen.

It’s just a hosted reverse proxy with a proprietary server backend, as far as I can tell. I don’t usually trust “free” things lime that. It’s not that expensive to do it yourself, the real expense come in high bandwidth flowing through the proxy which most self hosted applications for personal use don’t really do.

Anyway, with a reverse proxy on the security end there’s a chance of man in the middle attacks depending on the configuration. And on the privacy end, they will have the ability to log all connections. That may be where they’re planning to make money by selling that info and/or allowing MiTM attacks to inject ads like many ISPs have talked about. But “free” stuff usually isn’t actually free in the long term even if it is now while it’s being tested. Usually just takes a sale to a large corporation for it to become less free even of the original intent wasn’t to do that.
