Goofed Home

A mix of sweet and hot Italian sausage. Peppers and onions were done in the wok to get some char on them.
One of these is pickled sweet pepper relish I made last year. Fries were twice fried like Five Guys. I didn’t tell my wife that. As she started eating them she said “this needs malt vinegar” and I knew I had won. I got her some malt vinegar. I was out of provolone so I went with cheddar.

Cost per person $4.35 Cost at street fair: $24-$35

Don’t worry.

Yummo

I don’t think a TV show has ever left me more surprised than the reveal of the set he created in season 1.

Dead dead demon’s de de de destruction starts with a man waking up in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo after being possessed by an alien for several years. In episode 0, we follow his journey through a devastated landscape of refugee camps, killer robots, and militarized factions before flashing back to spend the rest of the series on the story of how Tokyo ended up like this.

What follows is a horrific and depressing deconstruction of Doraemon.

I have a five year LG OLED tv i’m using as monitor with ever growing burn-in and dying pixels on the edges. Darker greys arent as uniform anymore as they used to be but overall the picture quality is still better than any factory new LCD i had.

My biggest concern are the dying pixels. So far they arent noticable but it could get a lot worse in the next few years. If the tv becomes barely useable after like 8 years because of that it would have been a pretty shitty investment tbh.

But hey, maybe i can buy a cheapo Oled monitor with longer living panels in the future.

It’ll be a dream if they don’t stuff it with “smart” features, so it’ll probably be a nightmare.

Hello all!

(Sorry, I could not resist with the title :laughing:)

Today we are releasing NodeBB v4.9.0, on a Friday, toward the end of the day, because we like having our weekends ruined.

As usual, we recommend you update to this stable version of NodeBB, not least because it fixes a federation issue accidentally introduced last month.

There are a bunch of new features and usability improvements here, for both end users and admins. Federation improvements abound, as well as a few moderation upgrades. As usual, we fixed a ton of bugs, and even a couple open issues from the 2010s :scream:

Here is a list of the changes and new features you should expect to see!

:world_map: New “World” page

/world has been updated so that is closer to a feed-reader than a topic list. While I will continue to iterate on this design over time to better promote topics, I am hoping that this proves to be more accessible of an interface compared to the old topic listing.

Your watched/tracked remote categories will be listed in a sidebar (hidden behind a drawer on mobile views) for easy access.

The default view (“Latest”) continues to be a list of content from people you follow, and content shared by those same people. The other view (“Popular”) shows unconstrained content, and can include content from people you don’t follow.

:lock: Remote topics now unavailable to guests

After an Alibaba bot was recorded mercilessly scraping a lot of the public content served up by NodeBB, we decided to restrict access to that content to registered users.

While this would normally mean that “View Original URL” would stop working from other federates sites (since visitors are usually guests), we have added an exclusion to this logic that will continue to serve up the content to guests if at least one local user has commented on the topic.

:writing_hand: UX change for composer and chats

@baris worked on a number of usability fixes that make the experience of using our post composer and chat interface much better. For the longest time we had issues with the composer not properly resizing when mobile keyboards opened.

Composing and replying should work much better now that we are using the latest CSS and javascript tooling to properly detect visual viewport changes.

:bell: Better notifications

@baris also updated the notifications system so that bodyLong, which usually contains post text, is now sent with all notifications. This should increase the usability of notifications (both via web, email, or push).

:arrows_counterclockwise: Cross-posting privilege

A previous release introduced the ability to cross-post content into local categories. This functionality can now be gated behind a privilege at the category level.

:wave: Guest call-to-action

@baris introduced a new guest “call-to-action” banner that will help guide guests toward registering a new account to contribute to your community :blush:

:label: Title-less topics

As part of the changes to /world, we also allow the creation of topics without a title. If you don’t pass in a title, we will generate one for you based on the first sentence in your post. The same title generation logic was applied to remote content in the past, and now it also applies to local content.

This also means you can use the /world page to just fire off something quickly without having to do the hard work of thinking up a title. You’re welcome :laughing:

:sparkles: Opportunistic backfill

Now that the fediverse’s largest implementor, Mastodon, supports context, which enables backfill, we have implemented an opportunistic backfill feature that will check for new replies when you enter a topic. It’ll also regularly check the top most popular remote topics known by the instance for new posts.

:no_entry: Reasons

You can now set up a recurring list of “reasons”, which you can invoke on certain moderation actions. These custom reasons can be used when a user is banned, muted, or on post queue rejection.

You can set up these reasons from ACP > Manage > Users > (Gear) > Manage Custom Reasons

:information_desk_person: Registration queue now applies for SSO plugins

This issue, open since 2016 is finally fixed. SSO plugins don’t automatically bypass the registration queue anymore. This was a common vector for spammers to bypass registration limitations.

:bug: Additional features and bug fixes

• An improvement to auto-installation of plugins
• Removed many remote tids and pids stored in the db for no reason (thanks @baris)
• A regression that caused nodebb-to-nodebb federation to fail (and possibly many others)
• Notifications can now be passed custom icons
• ACP privilege selector now no longer shows remote categories
• Improvements to mentions to better handle periods at end of sentences, or names within names
• All cached used internally are now exposed in the admin panel for better management.
• Sitemap cache duration is now configurable
• Infinite scrolling now works on /world
• Slug generation errors when you mixed and matched - and .
• Topic pruning applies to all remote cids now, not just cid -1
• Chats list updated properly now, when new messages are received, chat messages now properly backfilled upon reconnection
• NodeBB now federates Delete on both deletion and purge

For the full changelog, please take a look at the closed issues list for this milestone, or take a gander at the much less impressive CHANGELOG.md in our repository root.

On .zip I do see a post in there. I’ll join and see if something pops up

Ahh I bet that means it’s an issue between Piefed and Nodebb then. I’ll check their repo and see if it’s a known thing

You know how it goes. You’re happily using Homer or Homepage for your home-lab dashboard. It’s great. It looks nice. It does its job. But then one evening you think: “Wouldn’t it be cool if the dashboard actually showed whether my services are alive without building a custom tile for homer?”

And instead of, oh I don’t know, contributing to homer or using Uptime Kuma next to it like a reasonable person, you go full not-invented-here and build your own thing from scratch.

So here’s ilias, a static HTML dashboard generator that actually checks your stuff.

OfozH6AxZoPCIc7.png

What makes it different from Homer / Homarr / Dashy / the other 47 dashboards?

It actually runs arbitrary checks. You give it a YAML config with HTTP endpoints and shell commands, and it:

1. Executes all the checks in parallel (so treat it like a shell script and don’t be stupid!)
   
2. Matches results against rules you define (status codes, exit codes, regex on output)
   
3. Bakes everything into a single, self-contained HTML file. No JavaScript, no API server, no database, no Docker container running in the background
   

The output is literally one .html file. You can scp it to a Raspberry Pi running nginx, open it from a USB stick, email it to yourself … it just works. It’s HTML and CSS. That’s it.

The “why should I care” summary

• Zero runtime dependencies. No Node.js, no Docker, no database. One tiny binary, one HTML file out.
  
• Active health checks. HTTP requests, shell commands, regex matching on output. Not just a bookmark page.
  
• Generate blocks. Run a command before rendering: pipe a Prometheus query into a chart, embed the image as a banner: now your dashboard can show graphs.
  
• Single HTML file output. Icons, CSS, images, everything is inlined. The file is fully self-contained.
  
• NixOS module included. Systemd timer, nginx vhost, sandboxed service. If you’re a NixOS person, it’s services.ilias.enable = true and you’re done (after verifying my code ofc, I’m just a rando on the internet!).
  
• ~1,100 lines of Go. One external dependency (gopkg.in/yaml.v3). That’s the whole thing. You can read the entire codebase during lunch.
  

Quick taste

Minimal config:

title: My Lab  
groups:  
  - name: Services  
    tiles:  
      - name: Jellyfin  
        icon: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@v9/icons/jellyfin.svg  
        link: http://jellyfin.lan:8096  
        slots:  
          - name: status  
            check:  
              type: http  
              target: http://jellyfin.lan:8096/health  
            rules:  
              - match: { code: 200 }  
                status: { id: ok, label: "✅" }  
              - match: {}  
                status: { id: down, label: "❌" }  

ilias generate -c config.yaml -o index.html  

Done. Open index.html. Your Jellyfin tile shows ✅ or ❌ based on whether /health returns 200.

Want to check disk space too? Add a command check:

      - name: Disk  
        slots:  
          - name: root  
            check:  
              type: command  
              target: "df / --output=pcent | tail -1 | tr -d ' '"  
            rules:  
              - match: { output: "^[0-6]\\d%$" }  
                status: { id: ok, label: "✅ <70%" }  
              - match: { output: "^[7-8]\\d%$" }  
                status: { id: warn, label: "⚠️ 70-89%" }  
              - match: {}  
                status: { id: full, label: "🔴 ≥90%" }  

Hover over any status to see the raw command output in a tooltip. Regex matching on stdout. Exit codes. The works.

“But what about…”

Uptime Kuma? Uptime Kuma is excellent for monitoring with alerting, history, and notifications. ilias can’t do any of that! It’s for when you want a single glanceable status page that you regenerate every 5 minutes via cron ro whatever. No history, no alerts, no database. Just “is everything green right now.”

Homer? Homer is a beautiful bookmark dashboard. ilias took that idea and asked “what if the bookmarks could tell you if my random, unsupported service behind them is actually working?” If you just want a pretty link page or use the services already supported, Homer is great. If you want status checks for everything baked in, give ilias a try.

Excellent! A dashboard dashboard!

Cool ❤

I have a 56 TB local Unraid NAS that is parity protected against single drive failure, and while I think a single drive failing and being parity recovered covers data loss 95% of the time, I’m always concerned about two drives failing or a site-/system-wide disaster that takes out the whole NAS.

For other larger local hosters who are smarter and more prepared, what do you do? Do you sync it off site? How do you deal with cost and bandwidth needs if so? What other backup strategies do you use?

(Sorry if this standard scenario has been discussed - searching didn’t turn up anything.)

So being encrypted before transmission and at rest isn’t enough simply because someone at backblaze can send the encrypted files out to you on a HDD……..

lol

Nice ragebait.

Piefed currently has anonymous — or more accurately, pseudonymous, voting.

which in my opinion is a great thing. I really think this feature is important.

However, while it works great to hide votes from casual users, the current system is trivially easy to correlate accounts to their voting profiles. Unless they adopt specific behaviours with large friction (ie. not voting on any post or comment you reply to, not voting on any community you participate in). And even then, timestamps of activity and general activity level will probably still be enough.

My question basically is, is there a plan to mitigate this? Possibly through optional features like voting profiles being ephemeral (like you get reassigned a new one every X weeks or posts).

Btw really appreciate the Piefed devs.

The score is just the first 4 lines, up to (and including) the first closing curly bracket. I’m afraid the Attitude and Reputation on the profile page can’t be handled this way (with CSS) as they’re not in some sort of container. You’d need to write a feature request and have that changed in the code.

Once again, thank you very much. I just did that it’s working nice :)

For anyone curious, here is what it looks like now:

For averyone wondering why converser.eu is slow and/or you can’t register, I had a conversation with the admin of matrix instance converser.eu, the convo is in french so i’m copying the translation here ! (I did remove my and someone else’s answers so you only have their explanations) “- FYI, I’m the admin of the converser.eu server. I know that right now, the server is a disaster. I’m doing my best. Synapse is a pain to administer and optimize. We have almost 7,000 accounts on the server and that number is still growing. We could greatly improve the situation by switching back to a server with SSD. I had to switch back to HDD because of disk space, which obviously doesn’t help performance. But I’m stuck because of budget constraints. However, if you feel like it, you can help: https:// liberapay.com/converser.eu/ . “ “- It’s been eight years since I launched the server, paying for successive servers to maintain the service. I’ve spent hours trying to understand performance issues when they arise, getting everything back up and running. In short, I’m doing my best.” “- Thank you for your support. I admit that I am very, very bad at communicating. And ultimately, when I launched the server eight years ago, I didn’t think it would take on such proportions. As for closing registrations, it’s complicated. Shutting the door when people need it or want to try it out could clearly discourage them from switching. And the converser.eu server is known for being open and hosted/managed in France. If I suddenly close registrations, I’ll have to deal with all the emails asking me “why can’t I register?””

The later people are paying to join and sustain an existing and thriving community built by the earlier people.

I mean, from that perspective, sure. But if the main concern is lack of storage, SSDs currently are of no help with that compared to HDDs (let alone with production being shifted over to serve AIs and datacenters).

Perhaps a dual SSD solution, but still would have to be planned with the potential outcome of either upgrading one of the SSDs or add a third one.
