I‘m not sure, but aren’t border controls in the Schengen area illegal?

Plappa should work on your iPad and has Jellyfin support

Edit: Just wanted to add that I didn’t try it with Jellyfin, because I use Audiobookshelf.

ICC prosecutor Khan removed over sexual misconduct allegations: Sources | News in c/world@lemmy.world

There’s a different definition of rape depending on the country you are from.

If you are from the US (on a federal level) the legal term based on the description in the article seems to be sexual assault.

No idea where you get the additional details from on which you seem to base your opinion of this case. Maybe I‘ve missed them in the article. But if you have additional sources, please let me know.

Yes, you should not sleep in the same room as a man if you don’t want to be raped…

No idea why she was there and how anything of this came to be or if it is even true. But good job coming to this conclusion 👍

Proxmox homelab: Beelink S12 Pro M.2 SSD overheating issues in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] DownByLaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Really depends on the drive. The one that died and my new SSD both have specified operating temps from 0°C to 70°C Exceeding operating temps for longer periods of time will cause damage to the drive and often activates throttling.

Proxmox homelab: Beelink S12 Pro M.2 SSD overheating issues (sh.itjust.works)

Thought I might share this for anyone that's running into the same problem as me. Since the Beelink S12 Pro is a popular choice for some in this community, especially if you are running video transcoding (mediaservers).

After one and a half years of 24/7 activity I've started having issues with my Proxmox VMs and LXCs running my selfhosted services. First I've only noticed some services were becoming unreliable, but after a while it spread to different VMs, so it looked like the host must be the issue.

After reading through the logs it became apparent, that my M.2 SSD had I/O errors and was about to fail. S.M.A.R.T reported high temps. 53°C idle / up to 80°C when running overnight Backups, so the issue was pretty clear. My SSD was constantly overheating which caused it to fail in the end.

New SSD, fresh Proxmox install (finally did the upgrade from 8 to 9). Restored my Backups and some settings and everything was running again in no time (❤️ Proxmox backups). Instantly checked the SMART temp values and same issue as before. Temps way too high.

Did some reading and tweaked some settings to reduce the load on I/O, but nope still way too hot.

Next I removed the empty 2.5 disk bay taking up space above the M.2 and installed a heatsink with 10mm height, which made it slightly better but not that much. Temps dropped to 49°C idle / 71°C when running backups.

This made me rethink the problem. Reducing I/O and adding a heatsink didn't seem to reduce heat by that much. Why? Some additional reading and pondering about the problem helped me find the issue. The CPU is right on the other side of the board from SSD. The CPU was cooking my SSD from below... Even tried tweaking the fan settings in BIOS to cool down the CPU so my SSD wouldn't melt, but didn't really help in the end. My beelink just became louder.

Last resort was using a sledgehammer to crack the nut: Bought a 80mm Noctua 5V PWM fan. 3D printed a new bottom plate for the beelink and am now blasting my SSD on full speed with air. Even at full speed 24/7 the additional power cost is extremely low.

Result: 28°C idle / 35°C when running backups.

My Beelink now looks like some Frankenstein creation, but I'm just happy my servers and backups are stable again. Maybe I'll add a cover to make it a bit easier on the eyes.

FYI: I'm currently running 6 LXCs and 1 VM on this poor thing. Two of which are running >20 docker containers.

How do you use VPN? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] DownByLaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I can route selected devices/groups/VLANs through the client. That's how I'm using it with my phone. Phone connects to wireguard server. Wireguard server IP is in the router's VPN client list for outbound traffic.

➡️ local access + VPN for web

How do you use VPN? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[–] DownByLaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I‘m using two different setups:

Phone with wireguard app:

VPN client installed on my router
WireGuard server Running on Router
Phone connects to the routers wireguard server and from there my phone is routed through the VPN client for web traffic (but I’m not using OpenWRT so you have to check if this is possible for you)

Laptop with wireguard app and VPN installed as browser extension:

WireGuard app is configured to only route traffic to my local subnets through the wireguard VPN.
Web browser is encrypted through the VPN extension.

Really depends on what you need. For me this setup fits my bill.

But there’s also tailscale (which you can also selfhost: headscale)

Additionally you could also set up your own independent wireguard server to get more granular control for routing and firewalling. But you would need a device that’s running 24/7 (same for headscale). A raspberry pi would probably be enough for that.

Don’t forget about Anubis and crowdsec to make it even safer inside your LAN

Have you already tried implementing an identity provider like Authentik, so you can add OIDC and ldap for all your services, while you are the only one that’s using them? 🤔
