Hello guys, so I have been self hosting a bunch of stuff for some years now. But I want to increase the protection of the services I host.

I was thinking of using a VPS just for ddos protecting my services like game servers, web servers, email etc.

Any suggestion on how to set this up well? I was thinking of routing all traffic from the VPS back home with wireguard. My connection is gigabit so I don't think the performance impact will be too big, any suggestion on which proxy, VPS and other things to use?

So I got this issue with a battery pack of a Volkswagen ID4. Initially the battery was locked due to the pyro fuse being blown. This has since been fixed and this crashlog is out of the BMS.

Now for some reason a few software incompatible errors have popped up. Anyone knows ODID well enough to help with this?

Hello guys.

So I hope this is the right place to ask. But I need to fill in a puk code. Which I have. But the issue is after filling in the puk code I have to fill in a new pin twice all well. But then I have to fill in a puk code again right after. Leaving me with 6 try left?

Any idea how to fix this?

Hello guys. Is their some way to disable the Android Auto VPN warning? I use a VPN quite often and every time I go in to my car this warning comes up. But I can not disable mute or suspend it. I am aware AA doesn't work well with a VPN. But having no way to like accept that is annoying. Now I have to disable the VPN which I don't always want to do. Or unpair and repair AA every time I want to use it.

Its not like you swipe the warning away. It comes back every few seconds as long as the VPN is on.

If their is someway to disable or even remove this useless feature perhaps with ADB. Do let me know.

EDIT: Thank you all who suggested to to exclude AA from the VPN app. never done this with wireguard but this was indeed the solution!

Hello folks!

So I have installed gentoo a few times before so I am not completely new to it. But I am new to managing things like btrfs and or LVM manually.

So my plan is to install Gentoo with btrfs and snapper so that you can boot in to read only snapshots from grub and rollback once booted. This is what Opensuse Tumbleweed does.

I would like to know which btrfs layout and or LVM layout is required for such a setup. I have been able to find some info that I think requires the /boot subvolume to be on the root of the system. Also some say you need to make the .snapshot volume some say you dont and snapper does this. So their is a fair bit of conflicted info about it to get working right.

Hello you wonderfull people.

So as the tittle suggest. I am wondering if it is possible to host lemmy instances on I2P. If this is possible, how would this work together with main internet lemmy and is this wanted? i would assume this would require some sort of out proxy's and or bridges.

Hello, everyone!

I am running I2P and would like to have it port-forwarded to help out the network. Even though I have port-forwarded both UDP and TCP, it always indicates "firewalled" or "symmetric NAT." As far as I am aware, I do not have a symmetric NAT. I run many other port-forwarded services without any issues, some publicly, so I am not sure what the specific issue with I2P is.

EDIT: After some more digging i managed to fix the issue while using docker. For some reason you need to add the environmental variable EXT_PORT to the compose file like so

services:
    i2p:
        image: geti2p/i2p:latest
        environment:
            - EXT_PORT=XXXX <Make this the same port as the public UDP/TCP port>
        volumes:
            - /XXX/I2P-data/i2pconfig:/i2p/.i2p
            - /XXX/I2P-data/i2ptorrents:/i2psnark
        ports:
            - 4444:4444
            - 6668:6668
            - 7657:7657
            - XXXX:XXXX
            - XXXX:XXXX/udp

Hello, guys! As the title suggests, I am looking for an HBA. The chassis I am planning to get is an Inwin IW-RS216-07 with 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA bays and 2x 4x 7mm U.2 SSD bays.

I am not sure which HBA (or perhaps multiple HBAs) would be suitable to utilize the full capabilities of the backplanes. Just to clarify, I am talking about an HBA and NOT a RAID card, as I will be using the system with ZFS.

Any suggestions or directions to which HBA to get would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all!

We have a car that supports android auto wired (Not wireless) When my dads phone is connected and someone is scrolling true spotify it keeps coming up with a safety break every few seconds or so. Is their some way to disable this without rooting the device he is using a Pixel 7? My phone does not have this issue and i can scroll all day long without it coming up but i am using a P7P with Graphene OS so i suspect it is some kind of permission AA doesn't have in my case.

I get that the safety break is supposed to be a "feature" to keep your eyes in the road. in practice it does the opposite as you are looking at the screen waiting for it to pass so you can go on with the scrolling.

Hello guys!

Currently, I am riding a Kawasaki Ninja 650 that is limited to 35kW. That limit will be lifted in a few weeks due to my age (23 almost 24). I am thinking of upgrading to a ZX6R 2024 or a BMW S1000RR 2020-2024. I am not entirely unfamiliar with higher-powered motorcycles, although I haven’t ridden a supersport before. I have ridden a bit on an MT-09, a Street Triple, and a Triumph Rocket 3. just swapping bikes for a bit with friends.

I will be using the bike for daily commuting and, once or twice a year, a longer road trip. My main focus is more on having fun than being comfortable.

Which of these two would you recommend? Do you guys have any other suggestions? I like the S1000RR more than the ZX6R, but I’m not sure if the powerband of a supersport is so different that it would be unwise to choose the S1000RR over the ZX6R.

Hey guys,

I am looking for a new email provider as I am still using gmail and like to get that removed finally. I am currently looking at Tuta and proton. I would be using it mainly for email and the Calendar. most other things I am self hosting but email in particular is not something I like to self host.

Proton being hosted in Switzerland and Tuta being hosted from Germany I think Proton has a edge over Tuta in that regard although I am not very familiar with both country's privacy laws.

Also how do they compare to each other regarding flexibility in creating email filters and folders. I believe proton hat some restrictions on the amount of email filters if i am not mistaken.

And lastly can you get calendar invites with these email providers? If I like the email provider i might move the business email to one of the providers as well but seeing we get like calendar invites which works fine with outlook. I dont know if this works with the email clients of proton or Tuta.

Also if their is a better email provider i am open to suggestions.

EDIT: Thanks guys! Got many great answers. i think I will get my own domain and try them out both for a while.

Okay, so I got a Minisforum S100. The experience has not been great at all. Other than the very long delivery time that kept changing, it finally arrived. I connected it to and booted the PC up. Windows was loading fine on it, and I got that installed initially. Browsing on it and doing very light work seemed to be okay. Now, when I tried to install LibreELEC, issues started.

For starters, it doesn't use NVMe but UFS storage, which causes the LibreELEC installer to not detect any devices other than the USB itself from which I booted. Unfortunately, I tried to install regular Linux on it with the idea of booting up Kodi from there. However, many regular Linux distros also do not seem to detect the UFS storage. I tried a few distros: OpenSUSE, Arch, and at last, Fedora, which actually detects it. Fedora even successfully installs, but right after you boot into the freshly installed system, it will complain that /dev/fedora/root and /dev/root are missing.

After giving up on using Linux, I went with Windows. I installed Windows 11 IoT Enterprise on it, which works after doing some regedit tweaks to disable the requirements. Windows installed, and all was working fine. Okay, then it was time to install Kodi on it, which went well, and even the Jellyfin plugin installed. But any video playback will just hang after the first 10 seconds of watching. Audio and subtitles work, but not the video. Just to rule things out, I installed the Jellyfin media player on it, and anything 4K will just stutter like crazy, probably maxing out at 10 fps when watching, even when the stream is 100% compatible with the device (you can see this in Jellyfin server).

All in all, I will return the device. I thought it was very promising, but the UFS storage and the very underpowered N100 make it unusable for my use case.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to set up Kodi on a mini PC, but I'm unsure which hardware to choose, such as a Minisforum or an Intel NUC and which once. I have a very large library of movies and shows on Jellyfin, and I'd like to use Kodi with one of the two Jellyfin plugins to stream content from Jellyfin to the Kodi box.

I tried Jellyfin for WebOS 4, but unfortunately, it has many limitations regarding codecs. My library mainly consists of REMUX files. The box needs to be able to play 4K, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, etc. Additionally, I'd prefer it to be somewhat future-proof.

Apart from that, I will connect the Kodi box directly to an Arcam AVR31 so I can pass on the Dolby audio to it.
