I’m surprised by Helldiver’s. Has there been some performance patches? I tried playing that on my deck near launch and it really struggled even at minimum settings - I can’t imagine how it would run at higher difficulties.

Out of curiosity, what switch are you using for your setup?

Last time I looked, I struggled to find any brand of “home tier” router / switch that supported things like configuring vlans, etc.

Maybe I am not thinking of the access control capability of VLANs correctly (I am thinking in terms of port based iptables: port X has only incoming+established and no outgoing for example).

I think of it like this: grouping several physical switch ports together into a private network, effectively like each group of ports is it’s own isolated switch. I assume there are routers which allows you to assign vlans to different Wi-Fi access points as well, so it doesn’t need to be literally physical.

Obviously the benefits of vlans over something actually physical is that you can have as many as you like, and there are ways to trunk the data if one client needs access to multiple vlans at once.

In your setup, you may or may not benefit, organizationally. Obviously other commenters have pointed out some of the security benefits. If you were using vlans I think you’d have at a minimum a private and public vlan, separating out the items that don’t need Internet access from the Internet at all. Your server would probably need access to both vlans in that scenario. But certainly as you say, you can probably accomplish a lot of this without vlans, if you can aggressively setup your firewall rules. The benefit of vlans is you would only really need to setup firewall rules on whatever vlan(s) have Internet access.

NPR News Now publishes great little 5 minute podcast digests every hour or 2 summarizing the big news items of the day / hour.

Their politics podcast and Trump’s Trials podcast are also good.

All three of these are very U.S. centric, obviously.

I ran into the same thing. I’ve always just worked around it, but I believe I did find the solution at one point (can’t find the link now).

But if I am remembering right, I believe you need to manually create a bridge between the two networks - by default it isolates the VMs from TrueNAS itself for security reasons.

Sorry I can’t link the exact fix right now, but hopefully this will help you Google the post I found on the subject.

Simple thing, but are you sure you mounted the NFS share as NFSv4? I don’t have access to a machine to check right now, but I think it might default to mounting NFSv3, even if both sides support v4.

To add on to this answer (which is correct):

Your “of” can also just be a regular file if that’s easier to work with vs needing to create a new partition for the copy.

I’ll also say you might want to use the block size parameter “bs=” on “dd” to speed things up, especially if you are using fast storage. Using “dd” with “bs=1G” will speed things up tremendously if you have at least >1GB of RAM.

I somehow read this as 128GB and was ready to share your shock.

Under this broad of a ruleset, all software would have to be open source.

The PR for the necessary back-end changes is out for review on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

This is now released :)

For anyone finding this in the future:

The latest version of LASIM (0.2.1) has a Settings tab that allows you to choose what you want to upload.

If you are using the JSON file posted above, you’d want to choose just “Upload Community Subscriptions” on this tab so that your profile settings, etc. are not changed.

Sneak peek :)

I hadn’t even considered this use case for LASIM, but that’s really neat.

I’ve been thinking about a settings page where you can toggle what to sync, among a few other future features. I’ll definitely add an option in the future to NOT sync the profile settings.

LASIM author here - you are correct. I explicitly made it “additive” to avoid accidents where you could end up erasing a bunch of subscriptions. Right now LASIM only calls the subscribe API interface so it’s actually impossible for it to unsubscribe you from anything.

I am considering adding a “destructive” sync in the future which, if toggled on, would unsubscribe you from anything not in the JSON file. But it’s not implemented yet!

This one got me too.

lemmy.ml specifically is running requests through a user agent checker - and if it’s empty, which reqwest is by default, you will get a 403.

You can see an example here of using ClientBuilder to set a user agent string: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/blob/main/src/lemmy/api.rs

So set any string (should be your project name) and then it should work.

Author here! I’ve been posting about it a good bit, and especially with the hack of .world and vlemmy’s disappearance, now others have started sharing it too. Besides myself testing it with lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, and lemm.ee, I’ve seen at least a handful of people that say they’ve run it without issues. I’m assuming the real number is much higher but there isn’t any tracking in the app, or even a download counter, so I really have no idea.

Only known issue at the minute is whether it works on Mac OS X. It theoretically does, but the only person who attempted it ran into issues where OS X wanted to open it as a text file instead of running the program - and it’s the only platform I can’t test myself.

Obviously if you do have any issues you can report them on GitHub.

FYI there was a federation issue and long story short this post is effectively only visible to .world, while everyone else sees this one: https://lemmy.ml/post/1870958

Apologies!

Hey OP, I wrote a tool that does this if you are still looking for one: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Does profile settings, subscriptions, and blocks.

The devs have definitely said there will be an official way to backup your account and import into another at some point, but I don’t think they’ve decided what exactly what would be like. Lots of possibilities with varying degrees of difficulty.
