  • So it would record audio from your pets and then translate it. I have seen apps that claim to do it but all I tested didn't work right.

    Can you program this?

    Seems pretty simple.

    1. Record audio
    2. Translate
    3. Play translated audio

    It would need like a button to start recording and one to stop it.

  • Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party lose EU Parliament seats
  • There may be even better voting systems but 3-2-1 would be a nice change. This way strategic voting gets at least somewhat mitigated and might force people to actually invest some time and look at the agenda of some other parties too because they have to vote for 3 parties.

  • What (generative) AI tools are actually useful, and potentially worth paying for?
  • Depending on the features and intensity you use, you may save lots of money by self hosting openwebui and connecting to openai via their API.

    You can also host openwebui directly on your local PC no need for a server.

    Pay per token is much cheaper for me.

  • Hot Potato License
  • There are a few flaws.

    There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warrenty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.

  • Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"
  • While I don't like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

    Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

  • Post your Servernames!
  • My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

    I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

    All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Eve...

    I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

    Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.

  • Do I need a second domain to run my own authoritative dns server?

    I have a static ip (lets say 142.251.208.110).

    I own the domain: website.tld

    My registrar is godaddy.

    If I want to change my nameserver godaddy won't allow me to enter a static ip. It wants a hostname. I observed that many use ns1.website.tld and ns2.website.tld.

    I don't understand how this can work because ns1.website.tld would be served by my dns server which is not yet known by others.

    Do I need a second domain like domains.tld where I use the registrars dns server for serving ns1.domains.tld which I can then use as the nameserver for website.tld?

    I would like to avoid the registrars nameserver and avoid getting a second domain just for dns.

    Thank you for your input.

    Setting Up a Secure Tunnel Between Two Machines

    I have two machines running docker. A (powerful) and B (tiny vps).

    All my services are hosted at home on machine A. All dns records point to A. I want to point them to B and implement split horizon dns in my local network to still directly access A. Ideally A is no longer reachable from outside without going over B.

    How can I forward requests on machine B to A over a tunnel like wireguard without loosing the source ip addresses?

    I tried to get this working by creating two wireguard containers. I think I only need iptable rules on the WG container A but I am not sure. I am a bit confused about the iptable rules needed to get wireguard to properly forward the request through the tunnel.

    What are your solutions for such a setup? Is there a better way to do this? I would also be glad for some keywords/existing solutions.

    Additional info:

    • Ideally I would like to not leave docker.
    • Split horizon dns is no problem.
    • I have a static ipv6 and ipv4 on both machines.
    • I also have spare ipv6 subnets that I can use for intermediate routing.
    • I would like to avoid cloudflare.

    A Containerized Night Out: Docker, Podman, and LXC Walk into a Bar

    A Containerized Night Out: Docker, Podman, and LXC Walk into a Bar

    ---

    🌆 Setting: The Busy Byte Bar, a local hangout spot for tech processes, daemons, and containerization tools.

    ---

    🍺 Docker: walks in and takes a seat at the bar Bartender, give me something light and easy-to-use—just like my platform.

    🍸 Bartender: Sure thing, Docker. One "Microservice Mojito" coming up.

    ---

    🥃 Podman: strides in, surveying the scene Ah, Docker, there you are. I heard you've been spinning up a lot of containers today.

    🍺 Docker: Ah, Podman, the one who claims to be just like me but rootless. What'll it be?

    🥃 Podman: I'll have what he's having but make it daemonless.

    ---

    🍹 LXC: joins the party, looking slightly overworked You two and your high-level functionalities! I've been busy setting up entire systems, right down to the init processes.

    🍺 Docker: Oh, look who decided to join us. Mr. Low-Level himself!

    🥃 Podman: You may call it low-level, but I call it flexibility, my friends.

    🍸 Bartender: So, LXC, what can I get you?

    🍹 LXC: Give me the strongest thing you've got. I need all the CPU shares I can get.

    ---

    🍺 Docker: sips his mojito So, Podman, still trying to "replace" me?

    🥃 Podman: Replace is such a strong word. I prefer to think of it as giving users more options, that's all. winks

    🍹 LXC: laughs While you two bicker, I've got entire Linux distributions depending on me. No time for small talk.

    ---

    🍺 Docker: Ah, but that's the beauty of abstraction, my dear LXC. We get to focus on the fun parts.

    🥃 Podman: Plus, I can run Docker containers now, so really, we're like siblings. Siblings where one doesn't need superuser permissions all the time.

    🍹 LXC: downs his strong drink Well, enjoy your easy lives. Some of us have more... weight to carry.

    ---

    🍸 Bartender: Last call, folks! Anyone need a quick save and exit?

    🍺 Docker: I'm good. Just gonna commit this state.

    🥃 Podman: I'll podman checkpoint this moment; it's been fun.

    🍹 LXC: Save and snapshot for me. Who knows what tomorrow's workloads will be?

    ---

    And so, Docker, Podman, and LXC closed their tabs, leaving the Busy Byte Bar to its quiet hum of background processes. They may have different architectures, capabilities, and constraints, but at the end of the day, they all exist to make life easier in the ever-expanding universe of software development.

    And they all knew they’d be back at it, spinning up containers, after a well-deserved system reboot.

    🌙 The End.

    I was bored a bit after working with podman, docker and lxc. So I asked chat gpt to generate a fun story about these technologies. I think its really funny and way better than these things usually turn out. I did a quick search to see if I can find something similar but I couldn't find anything. I really suspect it being repurposed from somewhere.

    I hope you can enjoy it despite being ai generated.
