I’ve been using Authelia with several OIDC integrations for a while now. Works great. They’ve released a huge update like a day ago too. Out of the ones you listed, it’s very lightweight too. The docs are a bit all over the place but it is quite comprehensive.

I did look at Zitadel and tried setting it up myself but I just couldn’t get it to work. The docs are a bit vague.

If you just want to view logs, then a lightweight viewer I really recommend is Dozzle.

I’m going to use local names since idk the translation for these things. You can copy paste into search engine and machine translate blogs for food places.

General tip: don’t bother too much about Michelin stars in Hanoi, especially in phố cổ, as all the restaurants in there all taste more or less the same. Otherwise you have to queue very long with other tourists. As always, eat where the locals eat.

Hanoi

(make sure to keep masks with you for walking along roads)

Electric buses available here.

Go see uncle Ho, I missed him last time I went to Hanoi. The mausoleum closes early (like 10:30) so you have to get up relatively early for that.

Go around the back of the mausoleum to see chùa một cột.

There are several national museums dotted around the centre, if you have time. Monday is a bad day for museums as most of them will close.

Massive government buildings/military areas in the centre as well. Lots of hammer and sickles everywhere.

Go to Lenin park to see a cool Lenin statue.

On Trúc Bạch lake, there is a cool war monument of John McCain being shot down and kept as POW. His plane landed there. Some USians actually pay respect at the monument even if it’s anti US lol.

Go to phố cổ, hồ gươm, văn miếu quốc tử giám.

Eat bún chả, phở hà nội, cơm rang, chè, bún gan, bánh cốm, xôi cốm, bún riêu, bánh cuốn. Honestly there’s so much food in Hanoi, explore around.

Ho Chi Minh

You will notice the difference from Hanoi. More lights, more people out, busier and more urban.

Museum by dinh độc lập.

Many parks in general where young people hang out, dance, play sports. If you skate, phố đi bộ is a good spot, even when busy.

There’s a big zoo, with a lot of greenery. Zoos are not my thing in general but if you’re bored and want to see cool birds and reptiles (they’ve got a lot of them funny birds at the moment to get them out of critical endangered status).

Several smaller museums by the zoo. You might spot a few US planes that were shot down on display.

There’s a city hall and opera house, they look very fr*nch and the latter looks bourgeoise as fuck.

I like walking around phố đi bộ and the city centre area to see what people are up to. Bùi viện is like a party street for tourists and I hate it.

There’s Saigon waterbus that takes you around the city via the river. It’s really nice.

Outside of the centre, there’s chợ lớn, which is a ‘chinatown’. Lots of pagodas and chinese cuisine.

There is so much food in general, both local and asian in general, you’d be overwhelmed. Worth trying: cơm tấm, bánh xèo, hủ tiếu nam vang, chả cá lã vọng, bánh canh, bún bò huế, gỏi cuốn, bánh pía.

In both places: If you drink coffee, please try out the cà phê phin there. It’s good black, with milk, hot, or cold. There are hundreds of cafes and most stay opened til late. Sit by a balcony and watch the streets and the people. The culture is very relaxed and laid back.

In both places, you can get around one area to the other via motorbike, and if you can’t ride one, there are many cheap uber-like taxi services for both types of vehicles. You gotta get the apps for that, a bit of a pain, but everyone switches between them to get good deals. Cycling might be an option but just be careful.

https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole#step-3-set-your-raspberry-pi-as-your-dns-server

Set tailscale to use your dns server to resolve your services (or all traffic if you prefer). Assuming your dns server is on 100.x.x.1:53, then put 100.x.x.1 as a nameserver.

How about Uptime Kuma status pages? They’re separate from the admin page and you can add Docker containers as monitors.

I don’t know extensively about it, but I have engaged with crossover science/biology/economic topics that deal with modelling “rational agents” to derive predictions. I find it overly reductive and hyper-individualist. It uses weird justification from “human nature” and static ideas of “conformity”, “cooperation” and “non-cooperation” that only concern form and quantitative measures, depriving it of symbolic and meaning content. Its games and experiments are hyper static, isolated scenarios where real world implications and (material) relations are cast aside as “irrational” or unimportant factors, whereas for real humans these factors are central to their decisions and worldview.

Many have already said a lot, so I won’t write an essay here. I agree to a certain extent that culture is steered by the US in the popular consumer market. But if you take the center/periphery model of culture seriously (I don’t), then you can expect a lot of niche/scene things to come out of periphery nations and in turn influence the center nations, like US/UK. I can comment a few things:

• Artistic merit lies in the eye of the beholder.
• Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s good. Likewise, if something that isn’t popular doesn’t mean it’s bad.
• Hollywood has a lot of budget, big music labels in the US/UK have a lot of budget. They can hire experienced producer, promoters, gig/cinema managers etc. to promote and distribute their stuff. Art in the East does not often have the same budget to distribute and promote. This means lack of exposure on the consumer end.
• Lack of local exposure on the artist end. If “Western” music is enjoyable, and Eastern musicians make music inspired from it, what’s the power play here? It’s not necessarily a hegemony, it’s a matter of recognising lineage and historical contingency.
• Watch some USSR movies (e.g. Tarkovsky) and listen to some USSR music (e.g. Kino).
• A lot of Japanese anime/manga also has “unlikeable and selfish main characters, and boilerplate, tropey plots.” Big budget and high incentive to pump out a lot of content will lead to slop, but there’s always a % that produces instant hits and cult-classics.
• There’s a lot of cool and hip Eastern-based music out there, you will have to look outside the top charts though (same goes for Western music). Again, your opinion lies ultimately in the eye of the beholder: I find Hollywood movies too cookie-cutter, and Western top chart music too overproduced and formulaic still. There are small scenes and collectives anywhere, pushing the frontier for arts and media. What about ZA/UM, making Disco Elysium?
• Lots of cool scenes in London/New York come from immigrant/world musicians. Just because it comes from the US/UK doesn’t make it “Western”.

What about https://floccus.org/?

SFTPGo supports OIDC and has a lot of ACL features. It allows users to have their own folders, as well as shared volumes between a group.

I managed to, through Lutris, with an old cracked version. Although I had to use winetricks to install a bunch of extensions.

I got ads removed on mine by asking chat support. The only caveat is it needs to be registered to an account. If you get a patient employee and ask kindly that the ads are not appropriate for children, it usually works.

I didn’t have ads either but being able to use KoReader is a good enough motivation for me.

• You can customize it a lot to your own liking and they do something clever with page changing that it seems a lot more responsive.
• Another thing is I used to have to convert epubs to KFX to get nice hyphenation and good typography but on KoReader you seem to be able to customize all those typography things with whatever epub you throw at it.
• Also, I have a local Calibre OPDS endpoint, you can add that in KoReader and download books over wirelessly. WiFi needs to be on when doing that but with a few tweaks you have read only root partiton so Kindle shouldn’t update.

Overall there are a lot of steps to it, if you’re comfortable with your current setup it’s not worth the hassle/time.

Anna’s Archive, Libgen, Mobilism, IRC (I use a self-hosted service called OpenBooks for this). I use Calibre for metadata sorting, plug Kindle in and move books that way and keep it on airplane mode.

Also, new Kindle jailbreak for <= 5.16.2.1.1 if anyone’s interested. Managed to get KoReader on my 10th Gen Basic.

That’s a common convention in academic papers to demonstrate pairs of correlations, it’s the same as writing

“We also find a positive correlation between cognitive ability and realistic beliefs AND a negative correlation between cognitive ability and pessimistic beliefs.”

The job sounds really stressful :( By the look of it at least you won’t lose the job but I hope you’re getting paid and compensated proportionally for all that hard work and tight deadlines.

The world likes to rush doesn’t it. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I wished things would go at half speed for a bit so I can catch up. The lack of sleep is probably the most ubiquitous symptom of a human life under capitalism. I hope you can find a better job that respects your health more, or a compromise with medication. I don’t like medicating all that much as it’s often a result of atomizing individuals into having this or that disease or condition. But I’d love to see comrades overcoming the struggle with whatever material means they’re able to access.

In a better world, if your personal desktop breaks you’d be able to take a break and figure it out. I hope you get your nice Gentoo installation back eventually.

Also, make backups of your /etc and dotfiles. I have just a single LVM encrypted drive and never touched RAID, everything important textwise is managed with git and hosted on 3 mirrors. My homelab just runs with separate ext4 drives and I make backups on one of them. I run backup scripts every Sunday because that’s when I have time.

Just to echo you:

My university uses Blackboard and we all hate it. Staff also hates it, but nothing has changed after years of feedback given through unofficial channels like unit or teaching feedback forums.

Upper management and whatever company that is taking our tuition money to implement this bloated, JavaScript-ridden platform just to embed some text, documents and videos don’t represent the main members of the institution. It’s also a prestigious university but management is pure incompetence.

Getting a job and building a career in tech is difficult. I think it sucks. I come from a science background and probably one of the nerdier computer people in my circles but I flat out refuse to sell my soul, sleep and time to tech companies here in the imperial core. I went through 6 months of an insomniac episode when I was finishing high school, it’s traumatic thinking about putting myself through that again.

Take care of yourself. I hope you sleep better these days.

Not at the moment, no. But it’s worth it for the range of things you find on there.

This might be an issue with opensearch.xml, which is a standard for how browsers recognise search engines.

See here:

https://github.com/hnhx/librex/blob/main/opensearch.xml.example

I don’t know how you’re hosting it, but when I was hosting LibreX, I had to make an opensearch.xml with the correct domain and bind mount it to the correct location. I don’t exactly remember the details since I moved to Searxng.

Also, if you’re not aware, LibreX was forked to LibreY, which is the updated repo.

Not that I’ve personally used this (although now that you mentioned it, I think I’ll check it out too), but I found this:

I find it ironic that at some point in history we made computers do test to prove their intelligence. Now, computers are testing us to prove to them we’re humans.
