Lasse is the original maintainer of XZ, they have been placed back in their position as sole maintainer.

“Jia Tan” was the person who slipped the backdoor into XZ and is now banned.

Lasse has already fixed abd removed the backdoor.

XZ itself is critical software everyone uses (its one of the main compression/decompression programs used on linux)

but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit.

This is fine and dandy on a personal pc, but in a work environment you are now being actively targeted by malicious actors if your company is a good target.

Constantly.

So once you are in that zone you do need some fast acting reactive tools that keep watch for viruses.

For casual users I typically recommend using Cinnamon Desktop, it’s the most Windows-esque UI and will be the easiest for them to pick up and use.

I roll with Cinnamon on Ubuntu and it’s been extremely painless, very simple to get stuff do and shit just works.

This by a long shot, I agree.

What CLI tools do you find have install problems on Powershell?

Everything I’ve used can be installed “headless”, often using winget now.

But powershell just sucks and windows file system is cumbersome, so limux is still better.

So far any use case I’ve solved with just SSH.

What specifically do you need to rdp in for?

They genuinely looked identical to me.

Either way, gogs dies what I need it to, git server for backing up my code and super basic git web Hooks to trigger my build server.

Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Gogs and Gitea are very similiar, Gitea is a fork of Gogs with a bit more features as I understand it.

However when I tried to get Gitea working personally a year and a half ago, it had some rough issues with redirect looping onto itself infinitely, could never get it to work.

On the other hand Gogs didn’t have this issue, and was much more painless to stand up, so it’s what I use now.

Is this satire? Surely it must be.

I was able to connect to the DB with Cloudbeaver, but it straight up wasn’t providing the diagram tab in the way the picture said it outta. The example pic even specifically is using a postgres DB as its example!

I pretty much had the exact same view, but no diagram tab. Unfortunately the wiki article doesn’t go into much detail, it just says:

“(if the tab is not presented then the object does not support the diagram presentation)”

With no information provided further listing off what is, and is not, supported for diagram presentation.

Lack of documentation it seems, which is unfortunate. It seemed like it has potential but I spent a good 20 minutes fiddling with it, trying different configurations and settings, nothing made it start working and it seems like (as is the case on a few of these tools) the ERD tooling is often a bit of an afterthought and poorly supported.

Many of the tools are sql first, ERD… third? fourth? forgotten and lacking most features :(

I have no idea how to respond to this. I wrote up a few attempts but it just felt weird.

Why do you think I need to explain what ERD stands for, in the context of my question?

Trying it out, the wiki says it has an ERD editor, but its documentation is kind of lacking.

It’s example image here: https://github.com/dbeaver/cloudbeaver/wiki/Entity-Diagrams

Shows it interacting with a postgres database, but when I try the same I am not getting a Diagram tab. Its also proving to be pretty awkward to try and work with.

So far best I have found is Azimutt, which is pretty close to what I want but its interface is lacking atm, and I couldnt get it to successfully connect to my postgres database in the end (kept giving NOT FOUND errors even though I tested inside the docker image to validate the connection and it could indeed TCP the postgres database’s port)

Let me know what specific questions you have that my post did not cover and I can try and help out.

I feel like I specified exactly what I am looking for and even gave some examples of existing (non self hosted) tools, so not sure what else to add.

Are you familiar with what an ERD is, with respect to database management?

Have you used tools like Luna/Moon, Navicat, Visual Paradigm, etc?

Im looking for such a tool, but self hosted via docker in the form of a Web App.

Of appointed CEOs who quit after 11 days to boot. But he was CTO prior.

But looks like he was largely ousted very fast with all the negative PR Mozilla was getting.

My understanding is “immutable” is a bit of a misnomer and avoids the “point” of using these distros.

“Layered Distros” is a better terminology, where you can imagine the OS as multiple layers, and you can swap 1 layer out for another without modifying the others and still have a functional operational machine.

Now some of those layers have to be immutable ones at runtime for this concept to work, so thats where that part of the name comes from, but thats an implicit result from the actual point/use case of these distros, not the selling point.

So you can swap versions/releases of your OS very cleanly at boot, without modifying userland, and it will continue to function just the same. This lets you do stuff at the admin level like broadly releases a version update merely by having users just reboot their machines, and next time they boot up their machine will now be running on the new OS layer, with their local “user” layer being unchanged.

I have a K3OS cluster built out of a bunch of raspberry pis, it works well.

The big reason I like kubernetes is that once it is up and running with git ops style management, adding another service becomes trivial.

I just copy paste one if my e is ting services, tweak the names/namespaces, and then change the specific for the pods to match what their docker configuration needs, ie what folders need mounting and any other secrets or configs.

I then just commit the changes to github and apply them to the cluster.

The process of being able to roll back changes via git is awesome

If you set a secondary DNS server, your clients will just use it to get ads, negating the effect of your pihole.

Unless, of course, the second DNS server is a second pi-hole ;p

When the raspberry pi (running pi hole) is down for any reason

You can have 2 DNS servers provided over DHCP assignment, if this is really an issue for you (ideally it shouldnt) you should be running 2x PiHoles for failover protection, that way you can take 1 offline and all devices will auto swap to the second one for DNS.

This will also horizontally scale your DNS querying, as devices will just 50/50 flip flop between the two while both are online and it will sort of auto-load balance.

Largely speaking thats your best bet though, just 2x PiHoles for failover protection.

For DHCP just use one of the pi-holes DHCP, or your routers, or whatever, they all largely perform the same but I personally find the pi-hole’s DHCP settings to be easiest to work with (you can even super fast modify them by SSHing in and using nano/vim to text edit the config file, so instead of using a UI you can just copy-paste all the entries in quickly)

If you need to take the DHCP pi-hole offline, you can just flip DHCP on for the second one, however as long as new devices arent connecting you don’t actually need the DHCP server online once everyone has an IP assigned until their registration time is up (24 hours by default) so as long as you get the pi-hole back online quickly, you’re network typically wont even have a problem.
