Thanks for the link! But I’m afraid it doesn’t tell me much. a) FreeBSD isn’t even on the list, so I don’t know the numbers to compare it to. and b) there’s things like survivorship bias. Looking at numbers like this is literally the textbook example of how to do it the wrong way. You have to do statistics the proper way around. For all we know by those numbers, Linux could be the best battle-tested OS in the world. I mean they fixed 3 times as many vulnerabilities as Microsoft did for any of their products?!

Sometimes I wish people would back up their factual claims with numbers and studies.

Also: FreeBSD phone, when??

I think the added benefit of an OpenWRT router is, you get 3 more ports (for your TV, Playstation and PC), plus a Wifi network. And it’s really hard to break it. But a MiniPC with OPNsense, of course will be more powerful. And some more advanced things have been notoriously difficult to set up in OpenWRT, maybe OPNsense does it a bit better.

I dislike it. Usually I’d use packages from my Linux distribution. Or package it myself and maybe upstream the effort if my distro has a user repository. Now (this way) it’s down to everybody download random files from the internet and execute them. Specifically what every Linux tutorial instructs you not to do. Plus there’s no updates, no security, no version control or transparency. It’s not licensed in any free way, so I can’t fix it or adapt it to my liking, I can’t help you write better Python code…

But it’s your software project. You’re perfectly fine to do whatever you want with it. And it’s certainly commendable to write software, whether you do it for yourself, or put it out there in some way.

Shouldn’t the upgrade also update the bootloader’s default entry to a new kernel? The way I’ve been doing it was apt update && apt dist-upgrade. And then reboot once every 1 to 2 years if I feel like it, am bored, or there’s all these news articles about a severe bug in the kernel.

Syncthing or Nextcloud. There’s a bunch of Linux sync software: https://awesome-selfhosted.net/tags/file-transfer--synchronization.html

Traditionally, you’d just put it on a NFS volume and be done with it. Or make it a boring plain old independent laptop with nightly backups configured, if your users always work from the same machine and don’t like… switch to a different computer in the middle of a task.

I have a port forwarding without any tunnel to third parties and Wireguard.

The entire page is an advertisement for an AI tool that helped uncover it. Guess that’s the demonstration on how it augments a report.

I think there’s pros and cons to everything. That way would have been less of a dickhead move towards the Forgejo developers. But a big letdown to admins as they don’t know what’s up with the software they’re running on their servers. The way the author chose gives some new intelligence to admins, and they can now act on it, since it’s public knowledge. But it’s annoying to the devs.

I guess I as a Forgejo user am kinda greatful they did it this way. Now I got to learn the story and can allocate 2h on the weekend to see if my personal Forgejo container is isolated enough and whether the backups still work.

(But that’s just my opinion after reading one side of the story. Maybe there’s more to the story and they’re being a dick nonetheless…)

Edit: And regarding just dropping the security team an informal mail… I don’t know if that’s clever. You’d normally either follow some security policy, or don’t engage. Sending them other kinds of mails which violate their policy (an internal carrot) might not be the best choice.

Thx very much. That’s valuable info. I edited my comment and crossed it off my list of software to evaluate for future projects. I already got the vibe-coding and a bit of sketchiness by scrolling through the latest commits and issue tracker.

Thanks for pointing it out. Yeah it does. I just copy-pasted what I found and didn’t check.

Mint is based on Ubuntu. It’s not strictly tied to any Debian release channel?! There’s LMDE as well. That’s based on stable.

Yes. I’ve been somewhat lucky as well. Upgraded my homeserver to 48GB to run a few virtual machines and maxed out my old laptop well before prices skyrocketed. Got to check if I still pay the ~8€ a month for my netcup VPS or if they increased price for existing customers as well…

Sounds reasonable. Yeah, good luck. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Unfortunately it’s always a bit difficult to diagnose problems over the internet, without typing in the commands and seeing the exact output. But there should be a way to make it work, F2FS is designed for something like this.

Did you read the Wiki? You need to either pass the compress_extension option when mounting it. The Arch Wiki lists how to enable compression on all text files. And I gave you the version with a ‘*’, which enables compression for all files. Or you do a chattr -R +c ... on specific files or directories to compress them. Maybe you missed that and that’s why it doesn’t compress?!

There’s probably also a way to debug it and somehow figure out what it does and how many files/sectors got compressed on the filesystem. Linux usually buries that kind of information somewhere in /sys or /proc, or there’s special commands to figure it out. But I’m not really an expert on it.

And there’s also files which just can not be compressed any further because they’re already compressed. Most images, for example. Or music or ZIP archives. If you try to compress those, they’ll usually stay the same size.

Was pretty much clear since last year. At the latest in December when they switched to “maintenance mode”. And now they archived it.

Alternatives include Garage, SeaweedFS (and RustFS).

Edit: RustFS looks very sketchy. Read object Object’s comment below before using it.

I haven’t tried it. But looks to me you need to add “compression” when formatting it. And then later when mounting, you’d add options like compress_algorithm=zstd,compress_extension=*

Remember to enable compression. Usually the Arch Wiki is a great resource to learn stuff: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/F2FS

And don’t forget to back up your data if you’re messing around with your computer. One typo with the device names is enough to accidentally delete your harddrive.

Good call. Seems minimum for ZFS is three quarters of a Gigabyte, anyway. And definitely not made for what OP does 😆

truncate -s 128M fs.img  
parted fs.img  
  mklabel gpt  
  mkpart primary btrfs 1MiB 100%  
  quit  
sudo losetup --find --partscan --show fs.img  
sudo mkfs.btrfs /dev/loop0p1  

You should be able to skip the loop device stuff and work on an actual device instead. Seems to me the limit is somewhere between 64M and 128M.

Edit: But as edinbruh said, maybe try f2fs if it’s a flash device, that’s probably a bit more lightweight?! And since I don’t know what you’re doing… If it’s embedded stuff and you’re alright with read-only, you might want to use squashfs.
