Revv

Here’s the list of devices supported by fprint

For non -standalone readers, you’ll have to look up the actual fingerprint reader embedded within it.

Edit: it looks like this is a Bluetooth keyboard. My guess is it’s highly unlikely to work with Linux as a fingerprint reader.

It also has the benefit of being able to apply the vast majority of Ubuntu tutorials, etc. since it’s based on it. Plus it doesn’t force you to use snaps for everything.

Check out low end box. I found coupons for racknerd. I have one VPS that’s $10/yr, another that’s $18/yr. I’ve had zero downtime in the 18 months I’ve used them. No complaints from me. YMMV of course.

You can get super cheap VPSs and use them just as a reverse proxy (with access via VPN). I host 11 servers using one single-core VPS as a reverse proxy. All data resides on premises, in house. I pay 10/yr for VPS. It definitely does not defeat the purpose.

I’m not a docker expert- i tend to just run everything in an LXC. But, doesn’t docker typically run as root? It might be that you gave your lxc user UID proper permissions, but not the lxc root UID.

Alternatively, you are aware that LXC UID 1000 != Host UID 1000, yes?

FWIW, permissions in proxmox/LXC are really clear and predictable… once you understand the way the map in the config files.

Aside from driving being an activity that, in my opinion, will require something approaching AGI, there are other issues to consider. Self driving cars will be completely unable to make difficult decisions reliably. How, for example, do they deal with a robbery where you just have someone stand in front of the car to immobilize it and then have the folks inside the car at your mercy? I have to imagine that either you’re producing pedestrian murder machines or serving up passengers on a silver platter.

The full price is like $24/yr, so even if it goes up, meh.

I’m a big fan of cheap (as in ~$10/yr vps) and reverse proxy over wireguard. My home ip isn’t exposed and I’m able to quickly spin new containers up by updating my reverse proxy config and adding a wireguard peer.

I keep two VPSs- one as reverse proxy for all my miscellaneous services and another solely for email. The latter port forwards raw traffic over wireguard to my email server container. That way, even if the VPS gets compromised, my personal data remains secure.

I end up paying ~ $30/yr (+ whatever I’m paying in electricity) for domain + VPS. It’s a bit more involved than tailscale, etc, but I’m willing to put in a little extra work to make sure I’m not at the mercy of some company getting up to some rent-seeking bullshit.

The only option that fits your budget today I can think of would be picking up one of the old xeon combos off of AliExpress. I spent like $100 on a MB+CPU+64GB DDR4 combo with a 2880 v4 I think. 14c/28t at any rate. You can probably grab a case/power supply/video card used for under $50 on eBay.

Please note that I’m not saying that this is a good option; it took a lot of fiddling for me to get mine running smoothly. But if you’ve got more time and patience than money, it might work for you.

I think the idea you’re driving at is that the worst leaders in human history will drive us to extinction. That’s not the scary thought to me. The scary thought to me is that decent or even good leaders might do the same when put in the wrong position. There are plenty of cases where individual rational decisions combine to disastrous consequences for all involved. I wonder if it’s possible for humanity to continually avoid such survival-threatening prisoners’ dilemmas…

To me, this reads like “Giant-ATV-Based Taxi Service Couldn’t Exist If Operators were Required to Pay Homeowners for Driving over their Houses.”

If a business can’t exist without externalizing its costs, that business should either a. not exist, or b. be forced to internalize those costs through licensing or fees. See also, major polluters.

Racknerd has VPSs starting at around $10/yr. Been using them to host my email/nextcloud/jellyfin proxies for a while now with no issues or unexpected downtime. They don’t have any of Linode’s advanced features, but they’re pretty hard to beat price-wise.

The only tablet that immediately comes to mind is the Pinetab. For just reading books and satisfying your ethical requirements and running Linux, I imagine it would do the trick.

One issue I’ve had in some networks is that wg will connect, but not receive any traffic from the network. You can try to set up a static route for your wg subnet pointing at your wg server’s local IP.

No idea if that’s your issue though.

I use a wireguard tunnel and port forwarding from a vps to a mailinabox instance serving mail for my various domains. If you have your SPF/DKIM/rDNS set up correctly, it’s not too bad with respect to management and mail delivery, plus you don’t have to trust anyone with your data. As far as other mail servers are concerned, your VPS IP is the only IP they see. I pay $10/yr for the VPS

I’m my mind, it became instantly irrelevant once it became an insider-only event.

Good to know. Thanks.

Are there distro-specific issues? I’ve always just downloaded the zip and run the installer with no issues.

In addition to all of the open source options that have been offered, Davinci Resolve runs well on Linux and has all of the above features (and many, many more). It’s also a buy once keep forever situation rather than a subscription since they make their real money on hardware. OSS it isn’t, but it’s incredibly powerful, has an extensive free (as in beer) edition and beats the hell out of paying a monthly fee.

Outside of a kink context, its use is a pretty great indicator that the person using it is a hateful moron who thinks they’re"winning" if someone is “triggered.” Basically the online equivalent of a pair of truck nuts.

In that respect, I’m grateful for its prevalence as it saves me a lot of time/energy that would otherwise be spent dealing with assholes.
