Jup, Im having an NTP issue on my win10 machine If you search for it you find the same 5 "solutions" from dozens of content farms.

Nono, you buy the printer and AFTERWARDS they sell you a subscription on top.

That way they get paid twise, much better...

Yeah, that's why nobody does it that way, but that strawman you got there looks mighty fine...

print("Hello World")

Save the file as script.py

And then execute it with

python3 script.py

Bloodborne

Didn't even got to the first boss my first "try" (actually a lot of tries) and shelved it as "I'm not gud enough"

After a colleague nagged me about it again I gave it another try (with a guide this time) and it clicked! 10/10 game of the decade

Is it though? They stuff more and more things into the clock app... Somehow nobody wants to maintain 'just an app that shows the time' it needs timers, stop watches, world time, weather and whatever is somehow related to time

Yes but forwarding data to 700+ third parties is not what I would see as "privacy valuing"

Even if you can disable it...

Running tasker on a unrooted Fairphone 5 There is a function "System Lock" which locks the phone so you have to enter the PIN. I created a task and a widget on the home screen that triggers the task

I did give tasker some extra rights via adb, which is a quite straight forward process. I think the dev even has a guide for it...

Yep, I went in this direction...until I gave in during a bare metal install of something...

Docker is not hassle free but usually most setup guides for apps are much much easier with docker

Definitely Sicily, they get wiped out in this plan... .

Its not a native app, basically an alternative web view, that you can add to your homescreen

Its the last version ist the one you just got, the final the one with the filename "offer_final_final_nowreally_2.0_final_actuallyfinal.pdf"

That was last year, now it is an offence if you have your pinky up...You HAVE TO STAY UP TO DATE, MAN!!!

If a person set the rule it is definitely not an AI...

I'm coding them down as plantuml network code and render them using a selfhosted plantuml Server.

In the end my whole admin guide resides in a obsidian notebook as markdown There is even a plugin that renders plantuml code within obsidian

The nice thing: everything is just code and can be moved to any other tool (had my documentation in a local gitlab repo, but I swapped gitlab out for gitea)

Also, everybody started the round the same, and it was your skill, knowledge of the map etc. Which made the difference, not if you had unlocked some better scopes or weapons

For filesystems I have another gripe: if I move a file to another directory and I want to swap to the directory I just copied the stuff to I have to enter the whole path again...

Yeah, they are more leanient with their customers than with their products...

I'll try that one thanks

Ah, nevermimd... Just got the info a few minutes ago, it's mandatory again.

I would, but they don't ship to my country :sadface:

Yeah and there is a big issue. I would place myself as quite tech savvy, but last time i looked for a distrobI got overwhelmed... Good thing: there are questionnaires that lead you to a good enough suggestion... Back then it proposed mint

But then the next question: which desktopp environment?

I installed on my huawei matebook and it worked okay-ish, but it had one dealbreaker: even with a lot of tinkering there was no way I got standby or hibernation to work. Which is a must for me...

So I removed mint and installed kubuntu... Now standby and even hibernate work (kind of) But it totally craps up when I try to use my external monitor together with the internal screen... Even a lot of terminal tinkering later I don't have it working... Oh and the speakers still crap now

There is a lit of information around how to maybe get stuff working, but a lot of it requires a lot of upfront knowledge:

  • a lot of questions are answered with "yeah, enter that in your terminal" without any explanation what exactly it does (which is bad in two ways in my opinion)
  • a lot of official documentation doesn't explain very well what the configs do and what syntax etc. is expected
  • there is often a lot of elitism around that really pushes away newcomers

EmI do love tinkering, but sometimes it's really frustrating even for me. No way I could my GF to try that out..

True, but usually you buy them from retailers... This way they cut out the middleman. And the chance that you use 3rd party inks (although, that "security risk" got patched with firmware upgrades)

Also, they don't just send you ink... It's a monthly plan where you have x pages included. Unused pages are rolled over 3 times [1] and afterwards they probably are just lost.

Further, if you cancel the subscription, containers you received within the subscription wont work anymore.

Damn, I knew it was bad, but now that I read the details it's even worse...

I went exactly the same route as you, loved his old videos, HI. At some point I started to listen to the one with Myke (Cortex - had to look up the name) . The first few episodes where quite interesting, but it got repetitive at around episode 50 or so...

Now even the few videos he releases don't really get me anymore

It’s normal for a switch to strip a vlan tag when it sends a packet out, so that the endpoint doesn’t have to support vlans. Don’t worry about that. As far as the endpoint is concerned, it’s just normal subnetting.

okay that's what I thought

When it’s on the other vlan, can you even ping it? When you check the packet capture, can you see the ping and response? Where does it get dropped?

if I try to ping it it doesn't answer, the unifi logs do show that the packages have been forwarded to the subnet. If I use netcat to open a port on the other device it receives the connection request, but the NAS doesn't recognize it. Maybe I have to do some Wiresharking on a mirror port to see what exactly comes back, hoped I could get around it

So if I understand this right you will need to change the network on the port attached to the synology in your UniFi configuration or set the vlan tag in the synology OS, I would do the former.

doesn't the switch terminate any VLAN tagging at the port? so if I add the VLAN to the DSM configuration it doesn't receive any tagged packages and refuses them?

It sounds like you just added a second network/vlan to the existing interface which means you actually created a trunk and are getting the old network untagged and the new network with vlan tags which the synology is dropping.

with all the other devices in the IoT subnet it works with setting the VLAN on the port of the switch. If I check back on the unifi site, I found this:

'Applying a VLAN to a Switch Port
Native VLAN

The Native VLAN is the VLAN assigned to "untagged" traffic passing through a switch port. Devices physically connected to a switch port will be placed on this Native VLAN.
Tagged Networks and Trunk Ports

Ports can be configured to allow traffic from other networks. Allowing specific networks/VLANs is referred to as “tagging” them on the switch port. You can see all ports’ VLAN tags in the VLAN Viewer, found in the Ports tab.

Ports that have been tagged to allow traffic from multiple VLANs are referred to as “trunk” ports. By default, all ports on UniFi Switches are trunked to allow all VLANs. '

if I understand that in combination with your comment correctly: I set the native VLAN to 83 so everything tagged with 83 is correctly forwarded to the NAS and accepted there, stuff tagged with 1 are non native, the tag stays on and the NAS doesn't accept it?

But that would make the Synology NAS quite hard to use in any corporate setting with multiple VLANs which need to interconnect and why does it work the other way around? while being in the default net 1 it does accept stuff from VLAN 83

Synology OS also doesn’t really support trunked ports through the UI (even though it does support a port that only uses a vlan tag) so it’s much easier to just leave them untagged.

which would mean, I can't put it in the IoT net?

Worth a try, will try it when Im back home

It is at the scale they are working on, there's a reason you can't get an actual person to contact you... It's too expensive to have actual people working these cases

Same here, loved BaconReader, (not sire why it's not mentioned that often)
got the message popup yesterday ;-(
But you are right, might be a good moment to detox a bit

I changed the native vlan to '83' and allowed all others

The isoöation is done with firewall rules blocking access from the IoT net to default, with some exceptions (dns, media nas (currently), etc.)

I also like that with the rest-server you can configure it with append-only, so even if someone wants to encrypt or delete the data they are not able to modify the existing backup

Jake from the corridor crew did a video speculating what the reasoning is behind it: https://youtu.be/u2dIvUAd5QE?si=rC2Kg_c-hCy0niYF

Yeah our law teacher always stressed that there is a big difference between having a right and getting your right

As far as I know you can install Mint with KDE

Yes it does, and when I click on it, the Clock app opens... With all the bells and whistles

I'm a bit hesitant to activate the tag in the DSM, as it states that it then needs a tagged counterpart to be reachable, and since all the other devices in this subnet aren't tagged anymore (as the switch untags the vlan at the port)

Connect a laptop into the same subnet as your Nas (so same vlan and IP range/subnet) and connect to the nas. This either eliminates the NAS or the router from the equation

did that, the NAS is easily reachable from within the subnet it's only a problem from another subnet
