  • It does it’s job but it’s suuper ineffective - you have to have a window open to suck in (hot outside) air that the portable AC cools itself with and throws out.
    That open window even with that “sock” cover it comes with, lets back so much of the outside air and if you are like me renting a badly insulated flat, you are comfortable only when the AC is running, it won’t really cool down (and keep cool) the living space.
    I do wonder why they don’t make a dual hose portable systems so that at least the unit is not pulling the air directly from the window, mixing already cool inside air with the hotter outside one.















  • I wouldn’t recommend putting ssh behind any vpn connection unles you have a secondary access to the machine (for example virtual tty/terminal from your provider or local network ssh). At best, ssh should be the only publicly accessible service (unless hosting other services that need to be public accessible).

    I usually move the ssh port to some higher number just to get rid of the basic scanners/skiddies.

    Also disable password login (only keys) and no root login.

    And for extra hardening, explicitly allow ssh for only users that need it (in sshd config).

    I don’t see a mention of PocketBook so here it is, last time I checked they are running a linux kernel and the source is available and the device should be moddable/hackable.

    I am in love with my PB Touch HD 3, does exactly what it needs without any annoying stuff (but with goodies like backlight and blue filter). I did opt into using their cloud for book syncing (which is not required at all, usb cable works too or other clouds) but there was never an ad or intrusive thing, love it.



  • I don’t use nginx proxy manager but websocket has to be enabled for apps that use websockets (duh) - you would have to dive into docs or example infra configs to check if the service uses it.
    Rule of thumb here would be to enable it for everything. Optionally you could check if the service works with/without it.

    E: Websockets are used when a website needs to talk in “real-time” with the servers - live views and graphs will usually use it also notifications, generally if the website does not reload/redraw fully but data seems to change then there is a high chance it uses websockets under the hood (but there are ways to do it without ws, ex. SSE).

    Example: Grafana uses websockets but qbittorrent web ui uses other means (SSE) and does not require ws.


  • borg backup with rsync.net

    Borg does de-duplication and compression, I’ve used it for multiple things like backing up minecraft servers and it can reduce the final backup size by a lot (like 1-2 TBs to a hundred of GB, though that was with content that was highly compressible and didn’t change much over-time so the deduplication did a lot too).

    There is also borgbase.com which looks a bit better and focuses only on borg repositories instead of also being compatible with just about any usual tools (eg rsync, rclone etc)

    I would try momentarily replacing the defined dns servers with nameserver 1.1.1.1 and see if stuff improves, though the pull error would hint that docker did resolve the name but somehow didn’t get an answer.
    Hard to guess what else could be a problem apart from some obvious stuff - check if the internet connection is healthy and stable (ping, watch for spikes in ms or drops, also any outgoing firewall filters?)
