Polycenric and Harbour (gitlab.futo.org)
 

Hi,

anyone come across and used the Polycentric + Harbour option for managing digital ID? What do you think about it? Does it really manage IDs in a private and secure way? I came across FLUTO who seem to be great promoters of "software for the benefit of humanity" but you always wonder how much you can trust these thrid parties ... when they decide to sell your data?

This post got me to search in FDroid and i found Chatlaunch forma Whatsapp. Anyone used it?

Pfsense, Opensense and OpenWRT - what's the deal? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

This thread has reminded me that I have Ruckus APs that mesh. But support had been dropped because they are "old". Presumably there is no open source solution that I can flsh these with, still allowing me the meshing?

Exactly. I moved to Jellyfin because Emby introduced the life time support thing

I'm not sure what the right model is to get money flowing in. It seems like they took the easy route. 100 dollars for a server licence is not really that small amount considering that most server users are families? I would have preferred massive fund raising campaigns .... I'm a bit lazy and need lots of nagging to get my credit card out .... But its right these guys get some income for their work. As long as code remains AGPL ... I bet soon there will be a fork like happened with Emby. I ended up purchasing the server licence a a few month later moved to the forked version ...🙂

Good online shop in EU for domotics (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, moved to Italy and live south in rurale area where I bought house. I want to setup domotics at home using KNX and Openhab. I can't find decent online shop. UK is not an option as I'll end up paying customs. Anyone can recommend a good shop?

What? $9 for a box of cereal? What the hell of a cereal do you buy? Look, its all proportional. Here a box of cereal is about half that price, yet most people are on €50k or less. OK, we have free health care (that is slowly being eroded) but still, we have petroleum at €1.9/l ... How can you not be living well off with $200k per year?

Connectin pfsense directly to 1GBit ZTE ONT (lemmy.ml)

Hi, I have my TIM (Italy) ONT installed (its a ZXHN F6005, which I think is also installed by OpenFibre in the UK). This is connected to a TIM router and them to a minipc machine that has pfsense installed. I believe the ZTE ONT can be directly connected to the WAN port of the pfSense machine by having pppoe set on the WAN interface. That way I can drop this intermediate TIM router which is simply sucking up energy. I tried setting a pppoe connection the pfsense machine by giving it userid and password but the connection never comes up. Strangely, even when leaving the WAN interface set to pppoe on pfsense and reconnecting it to the intermediate TIM router, the connection comes up (i.e. doesn't seem to be a requirement).

Any thoughts?

DEC740

Very nice but looks expensive. Do you think I could upload the pfSense configuration to it? I dread the pain of having to configure the whole thing from scratch.

I dont' have IDS/IPS installed on my pfsense box.

Any more specific recomendation of the machine you have running?

sudo ethtool enp2s0 | egrep 'Speed|Duplex'

Assuming you mean running these in the command prompt of pfSense? Tried but says "not found". Same for "ip link"

I probably didn't realise how CPU intensive the work of 1Gbit connection must be ...

Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-( (lemmy.ml)
 

My old setup was:

VSDL modem -> pfsense on mini J1900 Celeron (2 GHz) -> CISCO SG300 10MPP switch -> Rukus R310 wifi -> Laptop

Currnet setup

Fiber model -> pfsense on mini J1900 Celeron (2 GHz) -> CISCO SG300 10MPP switch -> Rukus R310 wifi -> Laptop

Today i got my 1GBit fiber installed (big deal for those like me living in rural areas) only to discover that my current network setup is not allowing me to benefit from it.

I was on VSDL copper wire before and was probably in the region of 50-60 MBit/s with my above current setup. Even when removing the wifi bottle and linking with Cat5 UTP wire directly to switch, I'm not getting major improvements.

When I got the fiber installed this morning I was disappointed when I saw only marginal gain running at 80 MBit/s (c. +30 MBit). So I decided to connect the laptop via LAN cable directly to modem. I got a starkling 900MBit/s. So, along my network I have bottlenecks.

THe first one I tested was my little pfsense machine. I installed the speedtext-cli command and was surprised to find that it was giving my around 300 MBit/s. So a lot better than my laptop on its usual wifi connection but still only 33% of what I get directly off the modem.

So my first question is how can it be that my little mini J1900 Celeron (2 GHz) with 4 GB RAM cannot handle this bandwith? Do I need an upgrade for my pfsense machine? I noticed that the peak CPU demand as speedtest-cli was running was in the 60% region, far from a saturated CPU and RAM only occupied for about 30%. If it is my little pfsense machine, how far do I have to go with finding the right little machine that can handle 1 GBit/s.

The next question is if I'm getting 300 MBit/s on the WAN connection of the pfSense machine, how is it that I only see a small percentage of this on my laptop? i.e. a drop from 300 MBit/s to 80 MBit/s? I guess I would have to test the switch to start and then move to the wifi access points ...

Syncthing ... where are the users? (lemmy.ml)
 

Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn't have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?

Is Radicale the way forward? (www.cloudron.io)
 

Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?
