two commands: dd and resize2fs, assuming you’re using ext4 and not something more exotic.

one makes a block-level copy of one device to another like so: dd if=/dev/source-drive of=/dev/destination-drive

the other is used to resize the filesystem from whatever size it was, to whatever size you tell it (or the whole disk; I’d have to go read a manpage since it’s been a bit)

the dd is completely safe, but the resize2fs command can break things, but you’d still have the data on the original drive, so you could always start over if it does - i’d unplug the source drive before you start doing any expansion stuff.

I didn’t think the consumer-level chip immolation carried over to their xeons?

If it did, holy crap, they’re mega-ultra-turbo-plaid levels of screwed.

Yeah quicksync won’t help you there.

I thought nVidia’s limit was enforced by their drivers, but that’s probably changed since it’s been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).

dd then resize the fs?

Edit: one caveat here I forgot: if your fstab is using UUIDs, you’re going to have to update that, since the new drive won’t be the same UUID because, well, it’s not the same drive.

If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).

If not, well, it’ll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).

Wow, a commercial open source product that COULD have pulled a rugpull, looked for all the world like they were planning a rugpull, just uh, did the right thing?

Good job, Bitwarden.

Fair, but he said he wants to move from Windows to Linux, so I just assumed there wasn’t going to be any of those since, well, they’re not going to run in Linux anyways.

Not in a way you’re probably going to like.

You could set up a bare metal hypervisor on the system and set up a VM for your NAS, Windows, and Linux and swap between them as needed, but uh, that’s not really an exceedingly pleasant desktop use case, for a number of reasons, one of which is that you really won’t have the normal ‘sit down, and use the computer’ desktop experience.

Alternate option: run the NAS and either the Linux or Windows install in a VM, and keep it booted into, say, the desktop Linux environment with everything else being a virtualized setup.

Since android apps are required, I’d maybe go about this another way: find the app you like the most, then stand up whatever backend it uses for sync.

I was already in the FreshRSS ecosystem, but man, I don’t really like any of the android apps on offer, but swapping at this point would be annoying (bookmarks, saved stories, etc.)

good ideia to run restic as root

As a general rule, run absolutely nothing as root unless there’s absolutely no other way to do what you’re trying to do. And, frankly, there’s maybe a dozen things that must be root, at most.

One of the biggest hardening things you can do for yourself is to always, always run everything as the lowest privilege level you can to accomplish what you need.

If all your data is owned by a user, run the backup tool as that user.

If it’s owned by several non-priviliged users, then you want to make sure that the group permissions let you access it.

As a related note, this also applies to containers and software you’re running: you shouldn’t run docker containers as root unless they specifically MUST have a permission that only root has, and I personally don’t run internet facing ones as the same user as all the others: if something gets popped, then they not only do not have root permissions, but they’re also siloed into their own data in the event of a container escape.

My expectation is that, at some point, I’ll miss a CVE and get pwnt, so the goal is to reduce how much damage someone can do when that happens, rather than assume I’m going to be able to keep it from happening at all, so everything is focused on ‘once this is compromised, how can i make the compromise useless to the attacker’.

Unifi Gateway Ultra

How have you liked the gateway? Any stupid decisions that have annoyed?

My USG has decided that, after a decade, it’s going to be flaky and crash if it wants to (even after replacing it’s 4th dead PSU and 2nd USB stick) and I’m thinking it’s probably time to upgrade.

I’ll admit to both liking the Unifi ecosystem and firmly not trusting the Unifi ecosystem one damn bit, which is bit of a weird situation where I’ve been really really unwilling to upgrade anything because that hasn’t always gone uh, smoothly.

Granite Rapids is probably going win some of that back: a lot of the largest purchasers of x86 chips in the datacenter were buying Epycs because you could stuff more cores into a given amount of rack space than you could with Intel, but the Granite Rapids stuff has flipped that back the other way.

I’m sure AMD will respond with EVEN MORE CORES, and we’ll just flop around with however many cores you can stuff into $15,000 CPUs and thus who is outselling whom.

100%.

I see a CLA or a goofy “source-available” license, I just assume it’s going to be a rugpull and that I should move on. I very much do not give anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Also if you’ve never seen it, lazydocker might be something up your alley.

It’s a TUI, but it provides easy access to docker containers, logs, updating/restarting/stopping/etc them and so on.

And it doesn’t mean they can take away anything.

Not if they’re able to monetize your small bugfix

The problem is they can, and that’s not the point - I don’t care if you make money with something I spent my time on willingly, I care that you’re forcing me to say you’re the full and sole owner of my contributions and can do whatever you want at any point in the future with them.

Signing a CLA puts the full ownership of the code in the hands of whomever you’ve signed the CLA with which means they have the full ability and legal right to do any damn thing they want, which often includes telling you to fuck yourself, changing the license, and running off to make a commercial product while both killing the AGPLed version, and fucking everyone who spent any time on it.

If you have a CLA, I don’t care if your project gives out free handjobs: I don’t want it anywhere near anything I’m going to either be using or have to maintain.

And sure you can fork from before the license change, but I’m unwilling to put a major piece of software into my workflows and hope that, if something happens, someone will come along and continue working on it.

Frankly, I’m of the opinion that if you’re setting up a project and make the very, very involved decision to go with a CLA and spend the time implementing one, you’re spending that time because you’ve already determined it’s probably in your interests later to do a rugpull. If you’re not going to screw everyone, you don’t go to the store and buy a gallon of baby oil.

I’ve turned into the person who doesn’t really care about new shit until it’s been around a decade, has no CLAs, and is under a standard GPL/AGPL license (none of this source-available business license nonsense), and has a proven track record of the developers not being shitheads.

Also, if you like htop, youre going to love btop.

take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android

I’ve swapped from iOS to Android and I very much have the opposite experience.

Everything in Android feels just a little bit like someone somewhere went ‘well we have to put this option SOMEWHERE’ and just shoved it in, which leads to me fiddling in apps and system settings a lot more than I was on iOS.

I’m happy to chalk it up to much more experience in iOS than modern Android, but it’s been kinda a pervasive experience.

And, also related and annoying: googling ‘how do I change a thing’ routinely makes me nuts because how you do something seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and even like, model to model.

I guess it’s just… maybe iOS needs more button presses, but Android is utterly inconsistent as to where something might be which means you spend a little more time digging for a specific thing than you might on iOS which leads to the impression that you’re hitting a lot more buttons to do something, even if maybe the actual number of presses would be lower if you knew exactly how to do it.

Give me a new version of the 5c, but use the G3 iMac colors as your color options, including a transparent look into the guts of the phone.

Would buy at least one.

Quickest peak and then utter vanishing of any interest in a project I’ve had in a while.

Wouldn’t mind something a little more open than SearXNG in that it owns it’s own database, but requiring that they be the sole owner of anything anyone contributes AND having the ability to yank the rug at any time they feel like it pretty much puts it in the meh-who-cares category.

Had enough stupid shit yanked over the past few years that I really just don’t care or have time to deal with any that is already prepping for their eventual enshittification.

You could also use nginx if you wanted; it’ll do arbitrary tcp data with the stream plugin.
