Welp, this won't last long. Especially after getting coverage like this.

"Comically Incorrect"

Is this satire? Or is the website legitimately ironic?

Edit: I'm not sure... I want it to be self aware, but I don't think it is?

I've put together two servers for self hosting a lot of services for myself, rather than relying on platforms that continually get worse.

The one on top, a retired Datto backup machine, hosts TrueNAS scale with a bunch of different services (Pihole, Jellyfin, Immich, etc.) and our network shares. The bottom one, Dell PowerEdge R620, runs Fedora server. I plan to use it for locally hosted game servers, but it just runs Minecraft (AllTheMods 10).

I've used knowledge I've gained in the IT space to set up the networks, and even have a VLAN running for an Ubuntu server VM of which I host for a coworker to learn on.

Linux retro style handhelds? Could you tell me where to find them?

Was really interested in the Pilet until I figured out the Pi doesn't come with it at that price...

Absolutely not, I would never! I throw my coat away each time I use one, and buy a whole new set at the beginning of the week. What a peasant!

[Bazzite] Fedora Kinoite Duplex Printing Issue (support.brother.com)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by Eric_Pollock@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hello! I use Bazzite Linux with KDE, and I'm having some issues with duplex printing on my system.

I have a Brother HL-L2300D, and I've already installed the drivers for it. Brother provides an install script for their driver on their website, but because my system is rpm-ostree based and immutable, I would get rpm-ostree errors and the installation would fail.

I found a Reddit post yesterday that suggested running sudo rpm-ostree install printer-driver-brlaser, which worked and I was able to connect to the printer and configure everything as needed.

However, when I try to print on both sides of the page, the back side of the page prints upside-down. I've tried changing the setting for which edge to flip when printing (portrait/landscape), and it doesn't seem to change anything. I printed the same document on a Windows machine on this printer, and it went through just fine, so I've isolated the problem down to the CUPS server that my machine is running.

If there's any more information I can provide, please let me know. I've tried the troubleshooting steps I know and have reached the limit of my knowledge.

[Help] Unable to write files to an SMB share on a NAS (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Edit: I found the solution! All I had to do was add the uid with my username, then I also had to add "forceuid" for it to actually go through. My fstab entry now looks like:

//192.168.1.21/Media-Library /mnt/Home-NAS/Media-Library cifs user=Jellyfin,password=password,uid=my_uid,forceuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Thank you @lemmyreader@lemmy.ml for posting the solution from Stack Exchange!

Hello! I have an Ubuntu server with a NAS mounted using cifs-utils, and I've created an entry in fstab for the share to be mounted at boot.

My fstab entry looks like this:

//192.168.1.21/Media-Library /mnt/Home-NAS/Media-Library cifs user=Jellyfin,password=password,iocharset=utf8 0 0

(The password is not actually "password" of course)

However, while I'm able to access the share perfectly fine, and even have a Jellyfin server reading from it, I cannot write files to the share without using sudo. I have some applications that manage metadata for music, and they're not able to change or add files in any way.

I am however able to access the share from my Fedora machine just fine with the same credentials, since I use KDE, I just added them to the default "Windows Share Credentials" setting. I don't have the issue where I have to use sudo to modify files, so I know it's just an issue with the share mounted to the server and not permission issues on the NAS itself.

What am I doing wrong?
