  • This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

    I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

    The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).




  • For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

    Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

    Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!


  • I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

    I like tags, I would like them to add a “directory tree” type of view to help sort “folders” (the thing they call “notebooks”) but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

    I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular “HOWTO’s” and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

    And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them




  • Its in several more kernels than that.

    That patch was backported into known (and probably more): v5.10.202, v5.15.140, v6.1.64

    ext4 data corruption in 6.1 stable tree (was Re: [PATCH 5.15 000/297] 5.15.140-rc1 review

    So I’ve got back to this and the failure is a subtle interaction between iomap code and ext4 code. In particular that fact that commit 936e114a245b6 (“iomap: update ki_pos a little later in iomap_dio_complete”) is not in stable causes that file position is not updated after direct IO write and thus we direct IO writes are ending in wrong locations effectively corrupting data. The subtle detail is that before this commit if ->end_io handler returns non-zero value (which the new ext4 ->end_io handler does), file pos doesn’t get updated, after this commit it doesn’t get updated only if the return value is < 0.

    The commit got merged in 6.5-rc1 so all stable kernels that have 91562895f803 (“ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO”) before 6.5 are corrupting data - I’ve noticed at least 6.1 is still carrying the problematic commit. Greg, please take out the commit from all stable kernels before 6.5 as soon as possible, we’ll figure out proper backport once user data are not being corrupted anymore. Thanks!

  • Thats not how it works.

    You have a LAN and hopefully you have a firewall that shields your LAN from WAN. Your fw is probably handing out DHCP lease IP (like 192.168.x.y)

    When you “bridge” your VM looks like an independant device on you LAN. Nothing at this point has allowed it to the public. Your dhcp can even give it an IP (but its probably better to set a static ip). In bridge mode, a "fake mac is spoofed alongside you nic’s real mac, and only for said VM)

    At that point the VM id accessible likr any other device on the LAN.

    if you then want to use vpn, just connect to your LAN however that works(vpn to computer or vpn to firewall/vpn server) and access.

    if you want to access from WAN without vpn, then you need to understand reverse proxying and youll need a full proper firewall\gateway device at the front of your network (like OPNsense).



  • Let me offer another thought, if you are literally hanging on to windows for this, you could set up a VM in linux for this task. This is how I manage win only apps like my security client (camera vms). You have a license for windows, make it more useful. (and no rebooting to swap!)

    Or, a little more controversial, choose another player instead of Apple ipod. Plenty alternates that just work with linux.

    I used to have an ipod 20 years ago, and there was a linux “itunes” application, but I doubt its still maintained, or apple has made it impossible for 3rd parties to manage an ipod.


  • I run iRedMail (a collection of dovecot, postfix etc, plus sogo and roundcube web clients and managed by a nice web frontend, all open source and runs on any linux.

    I’ve run for about 8 years, no dramas other than my isp technocally doesnt allow it. But they don’t block anything and occasionally they submit their ip ranges for customers to places like spamhaus, so i just script check every month to see if they added my ip back, then i just submit removal, it takes all of 30sec. (IP is semi static, probably changes once every 9 months or so, so not a drama to update dkim on my domain registrar.)
