Well, it's a container, in most situations you would be running as root because the root inside the container is an unprivileged user outside it. So in effect the root inside the container will only be able to act as root inside that container and nowhere else. Most people simply do it that way and don't bother with it.
If you really want there are ways to specify the user... but again there's little to no point there.
lxc exec container-name --user 1000 bash
lxc exec container-name -- su --shell /bin/bash --login user-name
For your convenience you can alias that in your host's ~/.bashrc with something like:
lxcbash() { lxc exec "$1" -- sudo --login --user "$2"; }
And then run like:
lxcbash container-name user-name
When your device requests an IP it sends over a significant amount of data.
Like...?
What do you do if you want to find the IP address of an instance, but incus list does not give you one?
If that's the case then it means there's no networking configured for the container or inside it. The image you're using may not come with DHCP enabled or networking at all.
I often just find the IP of the container and then ssh in as that feels natural, but perhaps I am cutting against the grain here.
You are. You aren't supposed to SSH into a container... it's just a waste of time. Simply run:
lxc exec container-name bash # or sh depending on the distro
And you'll inside the container much faster and without wasting resources.
Those are alternatives not the 100% compatible solutions that professionals who spend 8h/day in front of those tools need.
And that's okay, however those same people are the ones saying Windows is unusable because it would take a very long time to disable analytics. This is the thing, people aren't consistent.
No. It means if you upgrade a system from 21h2 to 22h2 Microsoft may have added new stuff in there that you've to review because if you connect it the internet right away those new "features" may connect to them.
Consider this example: Windows 11 before and after the Copilot shit. You can completely disable Copilot and other AI features using group policy however if you're on the "before" version you can't disable the feature because it isn't there already, if you upgrade, the features would be there with defaults and on the first boot it might great you with a "welcome to copilot" that will connect to Microsoft.
I am assuming that is on purpose?
Most likely, "normie" don't even know Enterprise exist...
With that said, you may find links here:
https://massgrave.dev/windows_10_links
Business ISO includes both Pro and Enterprise versions. On the same website you can find activation tools including HWID that will give you a valid digital license for your hardware that will survive a reinstallation of windows.
Just as a note if you've any Windows 10 Pro machines around you can upgrade them to Enterprise by just changing the key to a generic one under settings. A clean install of Enterprise would be better but you can still do it that way if you don't want the trouble / spend more time with it.
Never seen that guide. Does it actually work?
Yes, best results with Enterprise.
It won't implode, and it becomes a zero maintenance OS.
Windows out of the box is full of crap but we all know that a lot of large companies use it and Microsoft is kinda forced into making it feasible enough for those companies. If you're managing let's say 500+ machines you can't deal with the bullshit that comes with Windows 10 Home / Pro and systems that break every week.
There are also a lot of govt agencies and private companies with very strict security policies that can't just allow Windows to connect to MS and leak information around. If you simply disable what you don't need by following that manual things will really work out.
On the corporate world those changes are typically applied using AD, however, if you apply them manually in group policy they'll stick and you won't be bothered. Don't forget to check the link every time there's a major version because they usually add stuff.
I installed Windows 10 Enterprise 1709 on my main desktop in 2018 and applied the stuff documented there... I've been upgrading since then and it's currently running 22H2 just fine. No policy regressions like some people claim.
Microsoft is forced to provide ways for big customers to make Windows usable and those aren't going away anytime soon, they've a financial incentive to do so.
. I think once we critical mass joins with their buying power, things should change.
Yeah me too, but for that to happen you need to get: Adobe CC, MS Office, Autodesk and a few others the masses use as native desktop apps. The Linux Desktop year will not come until those exist... and until GNOME fixes their shit and stop thinking their users are stupid and desktop icons are useless.
They might have done their stats and figured out that only 0.0000001% of their users would benefit from it and there weren't much profit there to make.
Linux is great, and does a lot of stuff right... however....
I just don't get the people around there sometimes. They're okay with spending 1000+ hours jumping between 30 different Linux distros and customizing their DE, dealing with Wine / virtualization crap. BUT they aren't able to Windows 10 Enterprise and read the manual to get a clean usable system in 1/1000 of the time and effort.
How ironic.
The ads in win10 pushed me to the limit
Never seen them. But Microsoft does document how to disable everything you would like to.
I don't just don't get why do the same people who bitch a lot about Windows (not you) are unable to install Windows 10 Enterprise and read the manual BUT they are able to jump between 30 different Linux distros and spend 100x more time customizing their DE and dealing with Wine / virtualization crap. Ironic.
“After years of pushing their proprietary and closed solutions to privacy minded people Proton decided that it was in their best interest to further bury said users into their service as a form of vendor lock-in. To achieve this they made yet anoter non-standard groupware feature - a document editor.
They don't care.
I know, I know, but trust me that a lot of people believe that they don’t issue security patches fast.
So I want to get back into self hosting, but every time I have stopped is because I have lack of documentation to fix things that break. So I pose a question, how do you all go about keeping your setup documented? What programs do you use?
Joplin or Obsidian? Or... plain markdown files with your favorite text editor.
Maybe the NextCloud guys will follow... oh wait that would just be yet another perpetually half-finished NC thing.
Wait, is there a SA Mod Manager type of thing / installer / recommended mods for Sonic Adventure 2?? Is the Steam version any good (compared to the Dreamcast version)? Or does it have all the colors wrong and audio messed up?
New GNOME dialog on the right:
Apple's dialog:
They say GNOME isn't a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don't think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they're making right now.
Here's the thing: Apple's design you'll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don't lose their work when they just want to click "Cancel".
So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P
Hi,
Is there anyone using Amcrest IP4M-1041B with Home Assistant? I've a few questions about software and integration.
-
From what I hear, this camera can be setup 100% offline, connected via cable to any computer and by using a built in WebUI the camera has, is this true?
-
It offers pan, tilt or zoom. Does it work really good with HA? Can it be operated without any Amcrest software / internet connection?
-
The features above allow you to set preset locations, can that be done on HA / WebUI / without the Amcrest app as well?
-
Does it really operate all features offline and is it reliable? Eg. motion detection works as expected / doesn't miss events?
-
What's your overall experience with the camera? Does it compare to let's say a TP-Link tapo?
Thank you.

Unfortunately I was proven to be right about Riley Testut. He's yet another greedy person barely batter than Apple. After removed to Apple to remove GBA4iOS from the App Store he's now leveraging Delta to force people into his AltStore.

If you're in the EU you'll only be able to get Delta on the AltStore and that requires:
This is complete bullshit he could've just launched Delta on the App Store in Europe as well but he decided not to.
Thanks Riley Testut for being a dick to the people that actually forced Apple into allowing alternative app stores in the first place.

Here's my take:
The domain aftermarket has a big problem... it exists. This market shouldn't ever be allowed to exist in the first place. ICANN should've blocked this bullshit a long time ago and forced registrars to just let domains expire and free the space. Also add a few provisions about unused domain names and about selling them.
Hello,
So I have a Motorola SM56 USB Data Fax Modem (aka Apple USB Modem for some people) and according to information online this modem supports V.92, Caller ID, wake-on-ring and most importantly telephone answering (V.253).
At a place I happen to have an old telephone analog line that gets calls and unfortunately I can't get rid of. Any ideias / links / software on how can I use the modem + a low end box / ARM SBC to "digitize" the phone line into a generic SIP / VOIP that I can then connect to using MicroSIP on another computer?
Thank you.
--------------------
Update on this:
I just tried the modem under Windows with a few programs such as Phone Dialer Pro and the built in dialer.exe and while the modem can detect incoming phone calls and place calls I can't pass the audio back to the operating system / phone software.
I did some research about the SM65 and it seems like it was designed to have an headset directly attached to it like on those PCI cards that also use it:
The built in COM port of the modems seems to be only usable to control the modem via AT commands and can't be used to pass audio form and to the system.
Hello,
My IoT/Home Automation needs are centered around custom built ESPHome devices and I currently have them all connected to a HA instance and things work fine.
Now, I like HA's interface and all the sugar candy, however I don't like the massive amounts of resources it requires and the fact that the storage usage keeps growing and it is essentially a huge, albeit successful, docker clusterfuck.
Is there any alternative dashboard that just does this:
- Specifically made for ESPHome devices - no other devices required;
- Single daemon or something PHP/Python/Node that you can setup manually with a few systemd units;
- Connects to the ESPHome devices, logs the data and shows a dashboard with it;
- Runs offline, doesn't go into 24234 GitHub repositories all the time and whatnot.
Obviously that I'm expecting more manual configuration, I'm okay with having to edit a config file somewhere to add a device, change the dashboard layout etc. I also don't need the ESPHome part that builds and deploys configurations to devices as I can do that locally on my computer.
Thank you.

Hey,
I found this game I used to play a very long time ago and I wanted to experience it again. Unfortunately I wasn't able to run it in Windows 10 / Windows XP SP3 VM because it would lag on modern hardware.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the game running:
- Search for "Midtown Madness 2 (Europe) (Rerelease)" on TPB and download it
- Load the disk with WinCDEmu or other solution
- Install the game (don't launch it)
- Enable DirectPlay on Windows
- Copy
Crack\midtown2.exeto the gamefolder - Download dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
- Copy
dgVoodoo2.exeto the game folder - Copy all files inside
MS\x86to the game folder as well - Run
dgVoodoo2.exeas admin and set the following:
- Click the button
.\to create config file to MM directory - In "General" > "Output API" select "Direct3D 11 MS WARP (software)"
- Go to "DirectX" tab and change the VRAM to 128MB
- Click "Apply" > "OK" to exit.
- Launch the game > Options > Graphics > select from Display drop down menu, "dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper" > "Hardware (3D video card with T&L) from the Renderer drop menu.
- Click "Done" and that's it!
Note that whenever you change the resolution it won't apply any changes to the game menu - you'll only see it once you start a race.
Midtown Madness 2 should now run very smoothly under Windows 10, even on Virtual Machines. Enjoy.

Banana Pi is working on the upcoming Banana Pi BPI-M7 SBC powered by Rockchip RK3588 SoC whose low profile design reminds me of boards from Khadas such as
The Banana Pi BPI-M7 single board computer is equipped with up to 32GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash, and features an M.2 2280 socket for one NVMe SSD, three display interfaces (HDMI, USB-C, MIPI DSI), two camera connectors, dual 2.5GbE, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, a few USB ports, and a 40-pin GPIO header for expansion.
Yet another win for Systemd.
I've notice that posts in this community tend to get deleted, even ones with multiple comments and/or useful information. Even worse is when they get posted again by some other user a few days later.
What's going on? What's the policy around here?

tr:dr; he says "x86 took over the server market" because it was the same architecture developers in companies had on their machines thus it made it very easy to develop applications on their machines to then ship to the servers.
Now this, among others he made, are very good points on how and why it is hard for ARM to get mainstream on the datacenter, however I also feel like he kind lost touch with reality on this one...
He's comparing two very different situations, more specifically eras. Developers aren't so tied anymore like they used to be to the underlaying hardware. The software development market evolved from C to very high language languages such as Javascript/Typescript and the majority of stuff developed is done or will be done in those languages thus the CPU architecture becomes irrelevant.
Obviously very big companies such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon are more than happy to pay the little "tax" to ensure Javascript runs fine on ARM than to pay the big bucks they pay for x86..
What are your thoughts?
Debian 12.1 machine running LXD/LXC 5.0.2 installed from the Debian depository with apt. While everything seems to work fine, setting security.idmap.isolated true on a container or profile won't ma...
Debian 12.1 (6.1.0-11-amd64) running LXD/LXC and on an unprivileged container setting security.idmap.isolated=true seems to fail to update the owner/group of the container's files.
Here is an example: ````
lxc launch images:debian/12 debian
(...)
lxc config get debian volatile.idmap.base
296608
lxc stop debian
Error: The instance is already stopped
lxc config set debian security.idmap.isolated true
lxc config get debian security.idmap.isolated
true
lxc start debian
````
Now if I list the files on the container volume I'll get they're all owned by the host root user:
````
ls -la /mnt/NVME1/lxd/containers/debian/rootfs/
total 24 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 154 Sep 5 06:28 . d--x------ 1 296608 root 78 Sep 5 15:59 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Sep 5 06:25 bin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jul 14 17:00 boot drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Sep 5 06:28 dev drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1570 Sep 5 06:28 etc ````
I tried multiple versions of LXD/LXC. This happens with both 5.0.2 from apt as well with 4.0 and 5.17 (latest) from snap.
Interestingly enough I have another Debian 10 (4.19.0-25-amd64) running and older LXD 4 from snap and on that one things work as expected:
```
ls -la /mnt/NVME1/lxd/containers/debian/rootfs/
total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 1065536 1065536 138 Oct 29 2020 . d--x------ 1 1065536 root 78 Oct 14 2020 .. drwxr-xr-x 1 1065536 1065536 1328 Jul 24 19:07 bin drwxr-xr-x 1 1065536 1065536 0 Sep 19 2020 boot drwxr-xr-x 1 1065536 1065536 0 Oct 14 2020 dev drwxr-xr-x 1 1065536 1065536 1716 Jul 24 19:08 etc ```
As you can see on this systems all the files are owned by 1065536:1065536.

Update:
I tried to probe around the maps with lxc config show debian in both machines and I saw this:

Why didn't it populate volatile.last_state.idmap: '[]'?
How can I fix it? Thank you.
