Goofed Home

Just to start off, know that I have zero experience with this. I’m only looking into doing this because I’m absolutely sick and tired of centralised services (in this case Discord) turning to shit, and want to start a Discord-like/alternative federation between my friends.

Prosody seems to be the easiest to set up, and has all the available capabilities for a server that allows Discord-like functionality (text, group voicecall, streaming). Movim is the client that makes use of all that.

But I don’t have a clue how to set up a Prosody server with Podman. I’ve never done this before. I started by downloading the Prosody image through Podman, then tried running it, which prompted the creation of a container. Kept everything at the defaults and tried running it, but it didn’t work.

What do I do from here?

I mean, difficulty is relative mate. I just said I couldn’t get Snikket working (after multiple tries, too) but I’ve spun up both matrix servers. So I’d personally say it’s harder.

I’d be interested in seeing that, or at least knowing which ejabberd container you chose and why.

It was announced on Twitter(/X) by Xbox ’s CEO here: https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2029645713962156149

Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console.

Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!

I haven’t read the article because frankly, I don’t care about xbox anymore. But how user upgradeable will this be?

at this rate, I’d be impressed if any new Xbox hardware actually ships.

Anchovy butter is the perfect salty compliment to rich goose egg yolk.

Eggs were free. Bacon $2. Anchovy butter on scratch made bread: $3.40 Cost per person: $5.40

This is the way

It only needs two fish out of a tin so make sure you have a recipe ready for the rest of it. My leftovers are going on pizza. Caesar salad is also a good one even though it isn’t part of the original recipe.

It even includes the update from cosmos-server now (although there’ve been some bugfixes since 0.21.0) 😀

Hi, it’s me again. I like to think that my endless questions help fuel community engagement to feel less bad :sweat_smile:

So like the title says, I’m interested in running an OPNsense router for my home network so I can do better firewall filtering for both security and privacy (ad-blocking, phoning home, etc.) purposes. I found this video by Dave’s Garage that talks about running OPNsense in Transparent Filtering Bridge mode. I also researched that it’s better to use a switch and APs for any wireless traffic rather than having the router/firewall combo do it, so any hardware suggestions there? Here’s info about my network:

• 500 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload speeds (stick with 1 Gbps ports right?)
• My Proxmox homelab is wired connection only, so I need to use one of the switch ports for it
• We do have a door camera (I pray it’s not Ring…), so I should set up VLANs right?
  • VLAN ideas: Guests, Family/Home, IoT, Homelab specifically? (any others suggestion VLANs/segmentation???)
  • Maybe I’ll do selfhosted IoT devices in the future because of this? The homelab must grow
• My mom watches a lot of YT on our FireTV, so any guides on what IPs to block for that?

So what Mini PC should I stick with (just 2 ports for WAN & LAN is fine right)? Do I need to avoid any specific brand NICs (do Mediatek cards suck)? What 4-port switch would be good? What wireless AP is recommended? Furthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home? The coax plate that my modem is connected to is literally in the corner of my house. The Wifi is bad in some spots because of this, so we’ve thought about extenders. But if I do my homelab and have a wireless AP, I can just run an Ethernet cable from the switch to a properly placed AP (I guess I’d need PoE then…) right? My mom is afraid of tripping on wires and while I say to just run them along the baseboard, she’s doubting me.

Second Protectli. They are solid little x86 boxes with no moving parts.

Furthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home?

You watch some Youtube videos about how to do it and then you follow the instructions.

It’s going to depend a lot on the construction details of your house: * Do you have wooden framing (common in the US), masonry (common in Europe, as I understand it), or something else? * Do you have access to an attic or basement/crawlspace? * Do you need to run wires on exterior walls (which means dealing with insulation), or just interior ones?

For me (wooden frame construction, accessible attic and basement), I didn’t find it to be too difficult. Is it work? Yeah, of course. But it’s not that bad, and I recommend spending the effort because having proper wall plates wtih in-wall wires is way nicer than having stuff snaking along surfaces.

My networking knowledge is not good, so maybe it’s nonsense indeed. I just thought if everyone in the network knows what is blocked then DDoS protection could be distributed because every “reputable” switch/router in the network can block connection as early as possible without hopping close to destination creating unnecessary traffic

Creating a good (and successful!) game is beyond challenging, especially in our trying times. What’s been your experience with balancing different aspects of your own projects?

OPNsense doesn’t officially support ARM. You need an x86 PC for it unless you want to mess with an experimental build.

OpenWRT does support the Raspberry Pi though. You will want the Pi 5 for that since it has PCIe to connect an ethernet card to.

Hey everyone 👋. I just wanted to share a little personal project that grew a bit more than I initially planned.

The original idea was simply to build a game so I could play Parchis (Ludo) with my family, as it’s a classic in our household. I ended up building the whole thing entirely through “vibecoding” (AI-assisted coding) because I wanted to see how far I could push current my butt tools.

The result is a full web multiplayer game (React/Vite frontend + Node/Express/Socket.io backend with SQLite to store game data).

If anyone is curious or wants to spin it up on their local network to play with friends/family: 🔗 Repo: https://codeberg.org/baner/parchis (it has a docker-compose.yml ready to go in seconds).

⚠️ A big warning about security: As I mentioned, I completely built this relying on AI, and it was initially meant as a home project. *I am not a cybersecurity expert by any means.* While I have briefly exposed it to the internet a couple of times to play with remote relatives, my absolute recommendation is to host it ONLY on your local network (LAN) or behind a VPN (like Tailscale/Wireguard). The nature of AI-generated code means it’s probably full of vulnerabilities that I haven’t caught. Play at your own risk if you decide to open ports to the wild web! 😅

This is also my first project using a monorepo structure and publishing a Docker image for others to deploy. If you take a look and see something horrible (or something that works surprisingly well haha), all feedback is super welcome. I hope someone finds it fun for a local game night!

This project seems pretty neat! I appreciate that you are upfront that it is AI-assisted (some projects don’t do that and get grilled for it), I might check it out!

Thanks, I have tried to follow best security practices on this like using JWT for authentication, sanitize all inputs for SQL injections, password hashing, etc. Still better to be cautious, project still need some fixes but not affecting the overall gameplay. Right now I am working on documentation. It can be played as a guest but creating an account allows the game to track stats about win, lost, captures, XPs and a lot more. is mobile friendly, there is an android app but is not part of the repository at this time. make sure to share back your experience if you check it out.
