Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.
A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.
Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!
How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.
They’re Meross, this one specifically.

I got a couple of PM plugs with Matter support. I can’t pair them with HomeKit or Home Assistant. I spent about 5h troubleshooting this, inspecting network packets and whatnot and didn’t get any closer to having them working.
I’d rather things just had MQTT support. Happy with Zigbee though, as I can route those to MQTT as well.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a DNS provider that blocks wildcards.
I’ve been using wildcard DNS and certificates to accompany them both at home and professional in large scale services (think hundreds to thousands of applications) for many years without an issue.
The problem described in that forum is real (and in fact is pretty much how the recent attack on Fritz!Box users works) but in practice I’ve never seen it being an issue in a service VM or container. A very easy way to avoid it completely is to just not declare your host domain the same as the one in DNS.
If they’re all resolving to the same IP and using a reverse proxy for name-based routing, there’s no need for multiple A records. A single wildcard should suffice.
That something else already exists and is called Matrix. I hope more people and projects migrate there!
Ok so it’s unknown.
Whilst I agree that it’s unlikely that it was an RCE in EAC like it’s been floating around, nothing can be entirely discarded yet.
I do agree that it’s likely safe to play Halo, if the hack happened due to calls made from Apex to EAC, that means EAC’s APIs made it possible (still unlikely to be an RCE though). With that in mind, bugs or malicious code in any game that interacts with the EAC APIs could cause the same issue.
This is one of the dangers of kernel-level anti-cheat systems.
It should be safe® on Linux though, as it has no direct access to the kernel.
It’s not clear (to me) if EAC was a factor in the hack.
Regardless, on Linux it runs in Proton so it should be entirely in userspace. In Windows it runs in the kernel which makes it a lot more dangerous.
Has this been established? Have EA published their findings somewhere?
Yeah I don’t think that’s gonna work. It uses Wayland which AFAIK is not supported by the proprietary Nvidia driver. No idea about the open source one but I don’t think that’s ready for prime time yet anyway.
The games I play on my hardware tend to perform the same or a little better on Linux.
I’m not saying this is true generally but it is for my relatively small sample.
For reference, I have a recent Radeon GPU. Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3 and even Starfield (which I haven’t played in a while because 🥱) all fit this experience.
The open source driver for Nvidia seems to be catching up lately, so hopefully everyone will soon have a prime time on Linux!
2 years since I’ve built my gaming rig. I’ve booted Windows on it once, and at this point I don’t even have a Windows partition anymore.
Not sure if this is helpful in any way, but it might give you some clue.
100./8 addresses are reserved for CG-NAT.
This is probably the IPv4 address your modem/router is receiving from the ISP.
lol I get it. But really, she isn’t saving it for a special occasion, unless the special occasion is the chucking.
Alternatively, don’t chuck it. Eat it or give it to someone who will.
I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.
I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.
I started writing a Terraform provider for Proxmox a while ago.
Unfortunately, the API is a massive mess and the documentation is not very helpful either. It was a nightmare and I eventually gave up.
Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.
