vsviridov··on Virtio-nvgpu: Near-native Nvidia GPU access inside a KVM guest
Can this be used with proxmox?
vsviridov··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
I remember using lynx at school, since they only let A+ level students use the X11 GUI. And then later on using elinks which was a bit more featureful on my own servers...

LOL, I've been using it since Netscape Navigator 3.0 Gold, via Mozilla M3 (SeaMonkey tech preview), Phoenix, Firebird, and then finally Firefox :D
vsviridov··on Shopify moves back to Native from React Native
I'm looking forward to the next one in October.

Pretty sure I've seen you either at B-Sides or Polyglot... Small world...
vsviridov··on Flock Wants a Closely Surveilled World with No Exit
It can track devices via their Bluetooth radiation. A lot of devices use randomized MAC addresses though, but probably not all.
vsviridov··on Ubisoft's FOR HONOR will block SteamOS / Linux players starting September 10
When you though Ubisoft can't get any worse...
vsviridov··on Google buys crashed airline Spirit's data at auction, because AI
UptimeKuma is self-hosted and can monitor SSL expiry...
vsviridov··on Mushroom behind 'tiny people' hallucinations identified
I found a great sense of unease watching Scavengers Reign. So much so I haven't finished it yet...

Half of the plot of Common Side Effects :)
vsviridov··on EU ban on destruction of unsold clothes and shoes enters into application
Create a holding company and register some trademarked design. Apply said design to the product. License the design to the manufacturer.

When the manufacturer wants to destroy unsold stock - revoke the license to the design. You can now fully legally destroy unsold stock for "violating ip rights"

vsviridov··on The Zilog Z80 has turned 50
My first computer was a soviet clone of a ZX Spectrum, which started it all almost 40 years ago...
vsviridov··on Turning a pile of documents into a searchable useable knowledge base
I think paperless devs are working on AI integration, and there are 3rd party solutions. I'm holding out for an official one, so far.

It's pretty cool, I've set up a share where the scanner scans, and it automatically picks it up from there and ingests it into the system.

vsviridov··on Chatto is now Open Source
They have some `curl | bash` type installation, which doesn't really fit my set-up. They say "email us if you have any questions", so I've emailed several months ago and I'm still waiting for a response.
vsviridov··on Chatto is now open source
Amazing. And with SSO out of the box without weird "Oh, SSO is Enterprise only" BS.
vsviridov··on EVE Online's Carbon engine is now open source: Fenris Creations explains why
My buddy and I were playing a bunch of years back, unaffiliated with a big corp, just doing our own thing in mid-sec systems. They added wormhole diving into w-space in one of the updates, and we decided to try it out, which was pretty fun. We both made enough resource to fly Drakes at the time.

In one of the wormhole there was an ambush, I got blown up but my buddy managed to lose them, but didn't leave the system. He started talking to them in local chat, and in the end we ended up joining them. We were playing together for a while after, but life ultimately took over for me. My buddy remained for a while. He was a long-haul trucker and would play in his downtime from various truck stops across US and Canada.

vsviridov··on OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router
I was so annoyed that the Linksys cable modem, that came in the exact same color scheme was not stackable with the routers. You had a wifi router and a non wifi router in the same exact case with same exact front panel. But no, the modem was completely different form factor.

Why do they always have to look like some unholy blend of a cybernetic spider and a Knight Rider? What happened to a plain unassuming looking piece of industrial hardware...
vsviridov··on Rejecting Emails on AS Level
A silly bit of code that rejects emails from an entire AS, if it gets particularly annoying spam-wise.
vsviridov··on Migrating from GNU Stow to Chezmoi
BeyondCompare 2-way merge usually resolves everything automatically, and it's set up as the default mergetool for me, so it's only a couple of clicks... But yeah, takes some muscle memory.
vsviridov··on Migrating from GNU Stow to Chezmoi
Switched to Chezmoi from random assortment of manually authored scripts. The workflow takes some getting used to, because I constantly edit the actual files without calling `chezmoi edit` first, and have to merge.

I like that when combined with `mise` (https://mise.jdx.dev) I can roll out a new computer in 2-3 commands and have my entire environment configured the way I like, with neovim and all the plugins and language servers.

vsviridov··on Spanish traders set the standard for GnuCash database design
I'm using self-hosted Sure.am and also using SimpleFin to connect to Canadian banks. It works, but barely, since it effectively scrapes with no real API access. I have to login daily to update 2-FA on various accounts, and have suffered account lockouts a couple of times, due to "suspicious activity".

But it still beats downloading multiple exports from the bank and importing it manually...

vsviridov··on MacBook microphone has no dynamic range
That's true, it punches though everything that way.
vsviridov··on I got infected with a crypto-miner via misconfigured qBittorrent
That's fair, a VPN might've been a better approach. I've been having some weird routing issues with WireGuard, that seem to work differently based on the client, but I've not had time to sort that out.

At the end of the post I mention, that having proper separation would've helped, but again, that's a whole project...

It's not really "piling on more complexity". I already have a well-configured OIDC provider that already handles a lot of home lab software that supports OIDC natively.

For things not supporting OIDC natively there's OIDC Proxy for traefik. So in this case the solution is adding a label requesting the OIDC Proxy Middleware, and adding a redirect URL to the OIDC application.

You could argue that it's "more complexity", but routing it through a home vpn, for instance, is also "more complexity".

What, in your opinion is "simple, performant, and sane"? You casually throw that around, but never explain...

vsviridov··on It Took Me 30 Years to Solve This VFX Problem – Green Screen Problem [video]
The community has managed to drastically lower hardware requirements, but so far I think only Nvidia cards are supported, so as an AMD owner I'm still missing out :(
vsviridov··on Keep Android Open
The amount of open stuff that was migrated into the Play Services closed source blob over the years just keeps growing.
vsviridov··on Run Pebble OS in Browser via WASM
Does not work in Firefox...
vsviridov··on 221 Cannon is Not For Sale
I wonder if you could take a lien against yourself, it would show up for any potential buyer...
