5·4 months agoBummer, the formfactor / specs look okay but it’s kind of a dead end if I can’t just install & use a vanilla Debian OS or similar.
With all the NAS OS options probably Synology has the best one but even there I don’t actually want to get locked into that. I doubt this UGOS software can match Synology’s let alone Debian.
If it’s any consolation it looks like UGREEN is responding to comments about installing other OSes at their kickstarter page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urgreen/ugreen-nasync-next-level-storage-limitless-possibilities/comments
Interesting, though I suspect that is a false positive, it’s happened before with that software
https://rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=9037.0
Most likely because it is a self-contained web server executable? That sort of software would seem suspicious and similar to other sorts of virus/malware.
Granted I have not used it in a while but I’d be surprised if it were true, their forums and github would be full of reports of malware.

That aside you have plenty of other options to use if you prefer to use something else.
Syncthing, Resilio Sync, or one of those browser based p2p file sends e.g. https://file.pizza or similar.
If both p2p ends know how to use torrents then creating a simple torrent to share to the other peer would work fine. But that requires slightly more IT competence especially if someone needs to open a port forward (ideally you would make sure you have your own port forwarded so the other party doesn’t have to worry about this).
If you’re doing this more than once it might be worth setting up a simple server e.g. HFS is a nice open source/free HTTP file server, been a while since I used it but it still seems to be active https://www.rejetto.com/hfs/
Yikes. I already unsubscribed from there, overall I get the vibe that the new mod is acting in bad faith & stirring up drama when none was needed. It’s also clear the new mod doesn’t particularly care for the existing community members, they are mainly just moderating for themselves it seems.
TBH someone could just create a lemmyapps @ any other Lemmy instance. I haven’t spent too much time to figure out if that already exists.
Sucks but not surprising. Broadcom has a history of doing things like this, ugh. Even with their paid products they jack up the price so much that the only customers that stick around are the business enterprise types that are locked in & can’t easily migrate for various reasons.
4 day old Lemmy account, seems like another coplover alt?

Instead of having multiple dead communities you could just start posting in the earlier one(s).
and opened port 587 in my router
Agreed with the other comment, you definitely don’t need or want to do that on your end. Note that your self hosted instance is trying to establish an outgoing connection with a random port to port 587 at wherever your hosted email is e.g. yourdockeripaddress:randomport --> mydomain.com.au:587
I don’t have Bitwarden self hosted so can’t offer much advice on a solution but…
I’ve also tried to connect with my gmail but no luck. When I try to verify my email I just get “An unhandled server error has occurred”
This makes me think there’s something off with your environment, or the Bitwarden instance itself. Is there a way for you to verify that you can actually use those SMTP servers outside of Bitwarden? This sounds silly but in the past I’ve done a test installation of an email client with ability to connect to 3rd party SMTP servers e.g. Thunderbird just to verify my own internet connection can actually initiate an SMTP connection to an external server. You want to at least rule out that the hosted email server isn’t blocking you and/or have some over-active firewall on your end blocking things.
This is all in the absence of more verbose logging (not sure if Docker or Bitwarden can give you that, something worth checking).
However, the server doesn’t have the best power consumption, so I’d like to use WoL to remotely turn it on.
When you say remotely you mean over the internet, right? Or did you mean remotely within the same LAN e.g. from your living room or wherever.
By default WOL doesn’t work over the internet AFAIK. The wikipedia page mentions it a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Subnet_directed_broadcasts
Like others said you may be able to get that going with a VPN or anything VPN-like that allows broadcasts between connected systems. Or if your motherboard supports IPMI / IMM you should be able to connect to the system & perform power functions that way.
In my case my motherboard doesn’t have those sort of management functions so in the end I settled on logging into my router remotely & initiated WOL through there. That could be another option for you if your network router is capable of sending WOL packets to the LAN.
However, the server doesn’t have the best power consumption, so I’d like to use WoL to remotely turn it on.
You may need to reach out to your VPN provider’s support to check if that is a supported feature. Many VPN providers with port forward support can only do it within their application.
May also want to post over in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
From OP’s link under the “operate a Snowflake proxy” section
You can join thousands of volunteers from around the world who have a Snowflake proxy installed and running. There is no need to worry about which websites people are accessing through your Snowflake proxy. Their visible browsing IP address will match their Tor exit node, not yours.
A Snowflake proxy is not a Tor exit node.
12·1 year agoNo need to guess, just look at https://lemmy.world/instances
If anything was being blocked you would see it there. AFAIK lemmy.world does not normally block/defederate anyone as a standard policy (including threads.net).
If you want an example on the other end of the spectrum go see https://beehaw.org/instances they are currently at 405 instances being blocked including threads.net.
Should be fine, just don’t cheap out on the external drive / cable you will be using. And when you’re using something like smartctl you’ll know right away if SMART info is passing through your USB for proper testing.
I’ve done a lot of these type of scans via USB drives, honestly the more annoying part is that some USB drives do wonky things like go into sleep mode within 1-5 minutes which will disrupt any sort of scanning you had going. So with USB drive scanning I usually implement something to keep the drive alive and awake e.g. a simple infinite loop script to write a file every x seconds, or if you’re on windows you can also use KeepAliveHD.
