I use Timeshift to backup my SSD to a HDD then I use Lucky backup to (oneway) sync my main folders (doc, music, download, pic, videos, etc) to a USB HDD.

Still need to figure out how to do an encrypted backup to cloud storage (thanks to 90% of common cloud storage is based in the USA with very loose data protection laws).

Logitech does not support Linux.

Most of the current compatibility of Logitech devices comes from, Linux devs reverse engineering their software, USB standards or from default programing stored in the device.

Have you considered that they may have used a 32bit UEFI bios combined with 64bit processor?

Try a distro that supports 32bit UEFI.

About 25 years for me.

For most people it's a better option to use a local print shop for the odd times that they need something printed.

More options for printing too.

Kind of surprised that they haven't done what NZ has done and have one company that owns and maintains the physical network then sells access to ISP's. The company installs fiber to your house and terminates the fiber in an ONT (a box that converts from fiber to ethernet) that any ISP can connect to (or multiple ISP's depending on the ONT).

That way you have a choice of providers and there isn't multiple fiber installs being done.

Right now I get an uncapped, no contract 300down/100up for about £45 and if I wanted to I could bump it up to 950down/500up for another £10 a month (before any bundling discounts).

The speed is pretty consistent & often slightly over and I get a choice of router that I want to use (currently a MikroTik RB960PGS).

And I just looked it up and 2/4/8 gigabyte symmetric plans are being rolled out as they upgrade the cabinets and they aren't much more expensive.

You have a few choices:

  • Minecraft launcher (official) - Allows you to play vanilla MC.

  • Prisim launcher - allows you to download & play mod packs from several sources (newer FTB packs have to be loaded up in the FTB app first before being imported).

  • FTB app - allows you to play basically any FTB modpack.

The first should show up in the software store and the second two have install instructions on their websites.

You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.

Twitch already has a dark mode available in the settings.

I still visit, in read only mode.

 

Just a PSA: for anyone using a MikroTik router, using it for their DHCP server and are having issues with their devices not using Pi-hole.

If you have set the IP of your Pi-hole as the DNS server and are seeing entries in "dynamic servers" then the router is using your ISP's DNS server causing it to bypass your Pi-Hole.

You need to go to the interface that is supplying your internet connection (PPPoE client, DHCP) and turn off the option "use peer dns".

This will disable dynamic servers and route everything to your Pi-hole.

I think that this would be a security nightmare and would require a massive redesign for session cookies.

If anything they should be trying to lock cookies and sites assorted data to the specific device used to log in.

At the moment it is very easy for a criminal (once they have gained access) to nab your browser's entire profile and load it up on their computer giving them access to everything logged in on that profile.

What you are suggesting is something that would make the criminals jobs easier .

Cats view the laws of physics to be mere suggestions.

 

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

ap.syncforreddit.com

Does anyone have any insight?

 

I have the search bar added to the toolbar which I use to either search straight from it or use it to bring up google.

It looks like in the latest update you can no longer select the text box, hit enter and get taken to the search page.

You have to enter some text before it does so.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

I have recently upgraded my router from a nearly 7 year old consumer "gaming" router to a Mikrotik RB960PGS router.

So far I have been able to:

  • Remove all configurations
  • Set a long admin password
  • Create a bridge
  • Setup DHCP server
  • Set up NAT
  • Set up Spark NZ fibre connection
  • Update to latest stable firmware (7.15.2)
  • Set up basic IPv4 & IPv6 firewalls
  • Setup NTP & disable cloud/update time
  • Set DNS to my Pi-hole
  • Disabled the following IP services API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, Telnet, & WWW-SSL
  • Turned off "detect internet"
  • Turned off "use peer dns" so all DNS goes through the Pi-Hole instead of the ISP's DNS servers.

Is there any other "gotcha's" or things that I should be setting up?
