I'm looking at the G play/G Power editions which I'd like to root with KernelSU. Which kernel versions do these devices have?

Thanks

A lot many individuals run TOR exit nodes, but I never hear about people running their own I2P outproxies. Is it really hard to host, or is there some other reason? I thought that if you could run a TOR exit node I'd think you'd be just fine running an I2P outproxy.

Running more outproxies will help in bridging torrents from the clearnet to I2P, which would be a very good move considering the crackdowns on torrents right now. Companies even want to involve civilians into their lawsuits in Sweden now, making the need for privacy/anonymity even more important when torrenting, which I2P provides.

Every now and then I'll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don't really mind a tenner but I don't know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there's a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

The title is really vague, so I'll try to clarify my intentions here:

I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so.

However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication.

This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that's not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself.

What do I do? What would you do in this situation?

I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There's HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.

If you're starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

Hi everyone,

This is my CONTAINERFILE for Bind9:

FROM debian

ENV LC_ALL C.UTF-8

# Update and upgrade system
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

# Install BIND 9 and sudo (for debugging if needed)
RUN apt-get install -y bind9 bind9-dnsutils bind9-libs bind9-utils sudo

# Configure permissions for BIND directories
RUN mkdir -p /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod 664 /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod -R 664 /var/cache/bind /var/lib/bind /var/log/bind

# Create and configure log files
RUN touch /var/log/bind/default.log /var/log/bind/update_debug.log /var/log/bind/security_info.log /var/log/bind/bind.log
RUN chown -R bind:bind /var/log/bind
RUN chmod 644 /var/log/bind/*.log

# Define volumes
VOLUME ["/etc/bind", "/var/cache/bind", "/var/lib/bind", "/var/log/bind"]

# Set the entrypoint to the named executable
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/named"]

# Set the default command arguments for the named executable
CMD ["-g"]

I keep getting this error when I run it with podman:

26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.328 loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'
26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.328 directory '/var/cache/bind' is not writable
26-Jul-2024 03:18:21.332 /etc/bind/named.conf.options:2: parsing failed: permission denied

As you can see from the CONTAINERFILE, the bind user should be able to read and write to /var/cache/bind but for some reason it doesn't.

I have been at this for a while and I'm at my wits end. Your help is appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I've started pushing backups of media important to me (family pictures, video etc) to backblaze with client-side encryption.

However, are they a reliable storage provider? I can't help but compare them to something like Amazon who likely has a better chance of maintaining my files but they are so expensive that I don't even bother.

What do you think? Yes, I've heard of 3-2-1, however for now I only have backblaze and a local backup. I'm trying not to spend too much on this.

Thanks!
