I’m curious who is the arbitrator for what’s a valid security concern or not. If it’s done by an independent group, it might make it harder to get around. If it’s self disclosed, then yeah nothing will change

Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.

There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc

Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple

Comes with a disclaimer, do not try this at home

You can do this pretty easily using asterisk and then just point your VoIP clients to it’s IP address

But…

Whatever you do, unless you’re an expert with network security, don’t leave it on its default port if you’ll expose it to the internet.

You’ll have that many bots trying to get in that it’ll DDoS you within a few hours of setting it up. Even if you have it on a different port, you’ll have lots of bots trying to get in.

If you ever see those “unlimited international calls” cards sold in third world countries for like $5-10, those are mostly hacked VoIP systems that have accounts or access to a phone line

This looks great, I don’t suppose you plan on a pre-made docker container?

It’s ok, you put them out flat in the sun and all creases get smoothed out

For a bit of context for those not too familiar with CDN stuff. My web server hosts about 20 small business websites. None are heavy on images or video or anything else. Most sites have well under 1k visitors a day, some are under 100.

Each month CloudFlare CDN saves me between 40-60gb of traffic which is nothing my server couldn’t handle, but over a year is ~600gb in saved data so it adds up

If you had a Lemmy instance with even just 100 active users, with all the images and videos and all the federated background communications, that would add up extremely quickly.

My comment was made partly in jest as it’s a very obviously written pro Chinese article… My point was that it was so far fetched it might as well be satire

So propoganda it is… Still feels like something the onion would write

This has to be either blatant propaganda or the onion… I can’t tell which because it’s so ridiculous it has to be satire

It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.

Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through

It’s not just this community, or even just Lemmy… Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment

Not exactly what you’re asking but you can push specific images to a private repo to keep specific versions… Then you can just use the cleanup tag or prune to clear them off the system and if you want to pull them again it won’t need to download it from the internet

Minimised Ubuntu server I think only wants like 2.5gb of space and cuts out a lot of things you’ll never use

If you’re only using it for Plex and nothing else, it probably won’t make a lot of difference which you use.

My old setup was Ubuntu running Plex as an install… if you just run a server without a gui, it’s like 3 lines to install Plex

I also have a pi as a portable setup running the docker version which works pretty well but I don’t think it will handle hardware encoding very well, but I could be wrong

My current setup is 3x Lenovo m920q (soon to be 4) all in a proxmox cluster, along with a qnap nas with 20gb ram and 4x 8tb in raid 5.

The specs on the m920q are: I5 8500T 32gb ram 256gb sata SSD 2tb nvme SSD 1gbe nic

On each proxmox machine, I have a docker server in swarm mode and each of those vm all have the same NFS mounts pointing to the nas

On the Nas I have a normal docker installation which runs my databases

On the swarm I have over 60 docker containers, including the arr services, overseerr and two deluge instances

I have no issues with performance or read/write or timeouts.

As one of the other posters said, point all of your arr services to the same mount point as it makes it far easier for the automated stuff to work.

Put all the arr services into a single stack (or at least on a single network), that way you can just point them to the container name rather than IP, for example, in overseerr to tell it where sonarr is, you’d just say http://sonarr:8989 and it will make life much easier

As for proxmox, the biggest thing I’ll say from my experience, if you’re just starting out, make sure you set it’s IP and hostname to what you want right from the start… It’s a pain in the ass to change them later. So if you’re planning to use vlans or something, set them up first

Tailscale also has the funnel option to open up a single service to the outside world without needing a reverse proxy and has its own ssl certificates

I second Lenovo tiny. I have 3 x m920q with a gigabit switch and total combined power draw is about 53w

It’s an ongoing fee. The initial fee is raised by 3 times, and if the property is empty for more than 6 months of the year, they are charged twice the fee (so 6 times what the fee currently is, which starts at $13200aud and is up to $105600aud depending on the value of the property)

This means it will cost tens of thousands of dollars up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, each year, to leave it empty over half the year

Not sure this would entirely replace portainer for me since that manages multiple machines, but I am keen to play with this
