You can run Suricata on pfsense too

According to https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/chrome-weightsbin-file-what-the-4gb-ai-download-is-and-how-to-delete-it/ the machine needs 4GB of GPU VRAM among other requirements for Chrome to actually download the model.
My work laptop doesn’t have this so it seems I’ve blocked something that wasn’t gonna happen anyways.
Chrome has now successfully updated to the version 148.0.7778.97 that would’ve given me the weights.bin if I was running eligible hardware.

edit: apparently I was wrong. My intel igpu counts my system ram as vram. I can’t see that I’ve downloaded the weights.bin though.

Found this older thread on the fedora forums
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/hp-printer-stopped-printing/87174/72

If your friend has no other printer then it might be worthwhile to remove the printer if it exists, then remove ipp-usb and hplip, reboot and finally reinstall the hplip packages from dnf again.
sudo dnf remove ipp-usb
sudo dnf remove hplip
reboot
sudo dnf install hplip hplip-gui

Personally I haven’t had the displeasure of touching a hp printer in a long time so my tip is based on the thread not experience.

For Windows 11 the folder to look for is %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\ On my work laptop that folder didn’t exist yet so for fun I created the folder and removed all permissions for everyone to it.
Not sure what’s gonna happen if Google Chrome wants to push the weights.bin file when the ntfs permissions deny it.

Kinda the opposite, NAT Hairpinning allows you to use the external domain and public IP from the inside.

Look into NAT hairpinning on your router/firewall and see if you can use the external ip. :)

Yeah, a third-party headhunter isn’t worth it. When <friend from school> reaches out and says their team at <company> needs someone with <skill set> and they thought of you then it’s another question completely. :)

You use the contacts you gained during your studies and internships to get your foot inside the door and a chance to speak to a human.

The linkedin approach only works when a company headhunts, not when a worker does the same, in my experience.

Vegetarians nowadays eat eggs, vegans wear leather and self-hosters do it on someone else’s computer.
I’m old and grumpy and will stick to calling the modern vegetarians lacto-ovo-vegetarians, tell the modern vegans that veganism is a lifestyle not a diet and insist that a VPS on Hetzner is hosted by Hetzner, even if you have to manage and maintain the VM.

Not that my tiny customers have enough of an IT budget to buy their own servers with the recent price hike on memory and ssds.

The only thing I can think of then is to get your family members to start curating the photos into different albums using the Immich app. That way the sync gets to work and you get the usage statistics of the app up higher allowing the background task to run. If you create some shared albums and ask them to contribute photos to them f.e.
Or simply telling them about your shared album and getting them to check it out using the app.

After checking the german datacenter vps offerings I realize that Glesys can’t compete.

I wasn’t, no. Seems like it can be useful but I’m probably gonna keep using notepad instead of risking having sensitive data saved in the clipboard history. :)

Have you tried keeping immich active for the initial large photo backup so that the background task backup only has the newly taken photos to take care off?
I imagine you’ve checked the Immich faq already:
https://docs.immich.app/FAQ/#why-is-background-backup-on-ios-not-working

Glesys (Sweden) has some affordable vps options.

The notepad++ update infrastructure is secure now, yeah. Not that I ever did the in app updates tbh.

I went to Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases and turned Notepad off so I can start the old one with win+r “notepad”.
I only use it as a clipboard, my .txt, .log and .csv are all bound to open with notepad++.

After user outrage Fedora settled on opt-in telemetry instead of opt-out. So unless you actively choose to send telemetry you’re not gonna do it with Fedora.

(old proposal, the opt-out one: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Telemetry )

If the Aiphor Bluefox NX1 had 5G and wasn’t prone to have the screen come loose I would probably try it. I prefer that one’s form to the rounded back of the Unihertz Jelly.
But with google working on making android their own walled garden I’m more interested in trying something like Jolla.

I still got my Nova7 Pre-Branch .apk saved on my NAS. I really should try to find a replacement but so far it works as expected.
