    Is there a problem though? Yes they does should be concentrating on the language they need to speak when in said country, but it a very good idea to have some grasp of English when you go abroad, just in case you cannot grasp communication from the other party. You don't want to be stuck in Germany speaking just Vietnamese

    That was a bit sarcastic, but my Linux servers are indeed disconnected. I'd create my personal mirror (preferably on BSD and update from there). Now that the cat is out of the bag though, I feel stupid. Really, for CUPS??? Are you kidding me???

    Wtf???? "All GNU/Linux"???? This guy made me think Linus personally had to descend to Kernel-land and fix perhaps the most horrendous memory bug in existence. But no, surely CUPS IS ON EVERY MACHINE, RIGHT??????????

    All I'm saying is I'd like the reasoning behind people considering it a problem. Polictical opinions are fine but they should never come in the way of technical innovation (except that governments adhere to breaking this rule more often than not, but that's for another time)

    Hi everyone, This would seem to be a basic question (I've been on this for a few hours and can't seem to get it working). This is my file for my pod: ``` $ cat backup.pod [Unit] Description=backup pod [Pod] Network=slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns PodmanArgs=--userns=auto:size=10000 PodName=backup ``` And this is the file for my container which is supposed to be part of the pod: ``` $ cat backup.container [Unit] Description=backup container [Container] Image=docker.io/debian/debian:latest ContainerName=backup-container Entrypoint=/bin/bash Exec=/bin/bash -c "apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install rclone vim -y && exec bash" Pod=backup GlobalArgs=-d -t [Service] Restart=always [Install] # Start by default on boot WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target ``` 1. Podman's `systemd-generator` doesn't seem to create any service file for `backup.pod` in `/run/user/$(id -u user)`. I do see a service file for `backup.container`, `backup.service`. 2. Regardless, `systemctl start backup.service` errors out anyway. I'm unable to understand how to use `quadlet` from the documentation. AFAIK I did everything they asked (https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html). The primary reason why I tried this was because I couldn't figure out how to create a pod using `compose.yaml` either. If someone has answers to these questions, they would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    To be completely open, this is *not* a question about XCP-ng vs Proxmox. I'm open to doing everything in the cli, comparing two platforms is not my intention here. I'm very interested in the security benefits one has over the other though. AFAIK Xen has a dedicated for security? I'd like to think that both are reasonably secure by default, but I do not get many hits for "KVM hardening", for example, only OS-level hardening advice. Do both protect equally against attacks that try to escape the VM? Is there anything in terms of security that one has and the other doesn't? I know this is not the usual kind of question that is asked on this sub, any help is greatly appreciated!

    My use-case: streaming video to a Linux virtual mount and want compression of said video files on the fly. Rclone has an experimental remote for compression but this stuff is important to me so that's no good. I know rsync can do it but will it work for video files, and how I get rsync to warch the virtual mount-point and automatically compress and move over each individual file to rclone for upload to the Cloud? This is mostly to save on upload bandwidth and storage costs. Thanks! Edit: I'm stupid for not mentioning this, but the problem I'm facing is that I don't have much local storage, which is why I wanted a transparent compression layer and directly push everything to the Cloud. This might not be worth it though since video files are already compressed. I will take a look at handbrake though, thanks!

    Hi everyone, As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn't want to fork over thousands, really. I don't know how reliable Scaleway's service is, and Cloudflare's R2 doesn't have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won't go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don't want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers. Thanks!

    Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn't pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn't find anything. Haven't found any recommendations on the privacyguides website either. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    LocalMonero is shutting down. How do you plan to do fiat<->XMR now? Do you just keep the addresses and accounts of traders on file and keep going? What about people who haven't started exchanging fiat for XMR yet? Thanks

    I'm asking this because I'm very new to the Yocto project. I'm going through the documentation but it's a bit overwhelming to me, looking at what `Fishwaldo` has achieved (link embedded in the title). I would like to learn how he did it and how I could create my own image based on a supported kernel with necessary drivers and boot the `Star64` board. From what I understand, he: 1. Forked the kernel tree and created his own branch. 2. Put in the necessary drivers (including OEM drivers) - I'm not really sure how he did it since I'm new to Linux (any tips would be appreciated!). 3. I can't quite make out the layers he used to build the minimal image (I will study the guide more to figure this out). 4. Finally, he compiled it, alongside compiling U-boot, partitioned the SD-card and booted the device. Am I right? I'm missing a lot of steps in the middle, would really appreciate any help in understanding this. Thanks!

    I'd like to be able to contribute financially to people/communities who run infrastructure, such as nodes, for layers like I2P and Freenet. Where do I find them, and does contributing directly to the projects themselves help in this regard? Thanks!

    I realise that this question is subject to local trends (and I'm in the US), but I encourage people in other countries to submit their methods! How do you accept packages/deliveries anonymously? Of course, there are mail redirection services, but a third party which corroborates with different parts of the chain can likely figure out your identity and what you have purchased/have incoming. I haven't been able to find a good solution to this yet, and I believe the new rule in the US is that the receivers identity must be reported to the government? This (or a variation of this, I don't remember) is a recent event. Thanks!

    Say I purchase a laptop from Amazon/Walmart/any big box store. I assume they note down the unique identifier for the device and link it to the purchase, which has my credit card information. How would Ebay do this? I'm curious about the extent of information that the marketplace giants have of consumers purchasing electronics from them. Cheap Chinese gizmos might not have unique identifiers but a Dell Laptop certainly has a few. I'm sure some here can imagine the technical reason for the question. Have a good day ahead!

    Hi, A problem I have been coming up against is that a lot of the newer, budget Windows laptop (which I will immediately replace with my distribution of choice upon receipt) have memory soldered on the motherboard. This is a decision which brings the utmost distate to my mouth; I'm looking for budget laptops around the $300 mark (new) that let me upgrade their parts. Which models should I be looking at? I am aware that the used market is fairly decent right now but I'd like to take a look at what's coming up alongside looking at used gear. Thanks.

    Hi everyone, I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn't too big (about 2-3TB) that I'd like to store on the cloud since I'll be moving in the future and don't think I can handle multiple hard drives. What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers? Thanks!
