Interesting, thanks.

Looks like nothing has been found for 17 years until - presumably - someone pointed AI at the (entire?) suite and found 2 CVEs with a very low (<1%) chance of being exploited.

I’d guess that’ll be the last 2 bugs left…

Whilst that may be true, I would expect coreutils has all memory issues debugged by now.

I can understand new applications - or perhaps extended versions - to be created in Rust, rather than reinventing perfectly good wheels.

It feels like they’re doing this just for the sake of it, and I expect there’s probably better things that could be done with the money / labour

This is the way

@AlThePilcrow@lemmy.blahaj.zone I’m using restic to backup my NAS to a Hetzner storage box. (1TB for ~€3/month)

It’s easy, and you can SSH into the box to verify what’s actually there.

Ask for it to be removed

I agree this is an old thing, my firewall has blocklists and allowlists to prevent known bad IPs and allow only the countries I travel to.

But if Nabu Casa is an outbound VPN, then my blocks won’t work. I’d need them to block

Either way it would make sense for HA to also use some crowdsourced blocklists as a 2nd level defense

I’ve not looked into Nabu Casa much, is it an outbound VPN from our HA instances to their servers? If so, maybe the Nabu Casa admins need a blocklist?

Ok, good luck 🙂

And if it wasn’t for your post I wouldn’t know he created Ruby on Rails

It’s been a while for me (I don’t upgrade things that work and I try to buy things that last a long time…)

But, Hotel Mode might still be a thing, and it might bypass some “smart” stuff on the TV

I used that to make my TV start on the correct external HDMI port for my MythTV instance running on Arch Linux (btw) with dual TV tuners in.

The TV is rarely used to watch live TV and it’s certainly not connected to any networking.

Just another approach that I’ve not seen mentioned here

Ok, interesting… any advances after d2?

Mermaid --> d2 --> ???

It’s keeping the drawings / spreadsheets / etc. up to date, to know what changes are required, that I’m thinking about.

With multiple switches, VLANs, subnets, etc and I want to add an IoT device somewhere physically convenient, then maybe I now need to trunk the IoT VLAN through multiple devices from the Wifi AP PoE switch, update firewall rules, because this is the 1st device on that physical segment, etc… and then update the drawings afterwards.

Now that’s worth automating.

I’m looking for a map, not a calculator.

Ah, ok, so you’re usng it as a live agent to interact with the live system as / when you need some info?

Hmm, not thought of doing live queries…

I don’t have any AI running, hence just thinking of using public LLMs to create a drawing, but maybe this can interact with uptime kuma (for example) and tell me more about what just broke…

Not really seen much of mermaid diagrams before, thanks.

Btw, Looking at the issue comments, seems beautiful mermaid is unmaintained and now forked to zombie mermaid: https://github.com/dfadler/zombie-mermaid

I have Visio drawings already, and KeePass files and backup configs and…

So, it’s mostly there, but there’s always something that’s not captured, like maybe MAC address I’m trying to resolve in a switch…

I was thinking AI could draw, redraw and draw again…

Is the TV still in warranty? (I don’t know that model)… if so, send it back, it’s “broken”

If we tolerate this stuff it’ll only get worse.

Not heard of mgmtconfig, I’ll take a look.

What’s the benefit over Ansible?

Most of my home is setup (& maintained) via Ansible (I have a few Pi Zeros scattered around the place with the same monitoring setup installed) but I’ve not found a nice solution to doing setup locally, then reproducing on Ansible, then testing, then refining… if there’s a shortcut to that I’d be interested!

Consider your perfect settings as the part you want to keep (as well as all your documents etc, of course), but the OS will change.

Tomorrow you’ll do an update and 2 applications and 10 libraries are now newer… so you probably don’t want to store a “golden image” for too long without redoing it to consider all the updates.

Now… with that situation in mind, it’s generally easier to just do a clean install of the distro and reapply your settings.

So, depending on what you’ve setup, installed, tweaked & configured, saving that can be done with config files in /etc and /home and maybe a 1-liner for applications to install.

That will be smaller and more easily reproducable on all your hardware (and maybe some VMs)

How you do that depends on what you’ve changed and your skills… maybe bash, maybe ansible, maybe just copying files - whatever makes sense to you.

TBH, I think everyone’s playing with the new thing and a bunch of people will just move on to the next big thing (augmented 3d post-realism AI?)

Then, it’ll settle down into decent workflows and become more organised… it’ll just be painful until that happens.

And at the rate they’re finding the bugs, they’ll all be found by the end of the year.

Then no more bugs and all the LLMs can be shutdown.

To be fair… if all that happens, you’re probably toast too
