FIA’s F1 spray guard quest might be mission impossible
  • Formula E generates waaaaay less downforce compared to F1 to reduce drag thus save battery. And they generally race at lower speed street circuits.

    This big open wheel dirty air problem don’t really bother them even without specific designs or regulations.

  • I want to switch to Linux but there are a few major hurdles.
  • That’s my point. Please take a look at group policy editor. You’ll be amazed how many settings are hidden from the settings app. And once it’s set there, it cannot be overridden by anything, INCLUDING UPDATES. You can even completely turn off automatic updates there and only update manually when you feel comfortable.

    It’s meant to be a enterprise thing to lock down PCs. But on your own PC you are your own boss.

  • I want to switch to Linux but there are a few major hurdles.
  • I guess a better question to ask is: WHY do you want to switch to Linux. Is there a compelling yet specific reason. Abstract things like “better privacy” is not that valid for regular folks. You can tweak enough things in windows with group policy/registry to make it just okay. Surely it’s not out of the box but you only need to do it once, and I imagine this will only take a fraction of the time you would otherwise spend troubleshooting Linux.

    If there are specific Linux things you need to run, why not use your server or even WSL?

    As much as I love Linux, my main gaming/video production PC will always be windows.

  • Cheap UPS solution?
  • It’s 12V so I guess you can Frankenstein something with a car battery. But honestly this sounds more like a LTT video than something I would trust not to burn my house down.

  • How bad is battery life on Linux laptop?

    I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?

    The laptop does not need to do anything heavy duty, as I will remote back into my already very beefy desktop back home.

    I guess a common solution to this light use case is M2 MacBook if one wants to completely throw battery concern out of the window. Well... let's just say it's a love-hate relationship.

    why did you switch?
  • Things you mentioned about windows before “etc” can actually be disabled through group policy or other means. It’s an annoyance nonetheless. But after ~30 minutes of tweaking after a new install, windows is not that bad these days.

    Anyway, if I don’t play games I’ll probably be Linux all the way. Most things today are web based anyway.

    But how is gaming on Linux nowadays, if you may elaborate? I have top of the line hardwares but the games I play easily max out their usage. I know there are things like translation layer, but I’m afraid the performance hit may be not ideal…

  • Is it considered bad practice to expose selfhosted services on public internet?
  • Yea that’s basically the reason why I can’t use a VPN.

    In fact there isn’t really a problem to leave your phone connected to the selfhosted VPN all the time. If split tunneling works properly, only traffic that access your home network would actually go through the VPN, all others will just get bypassed.

    But in my case, I already need to be connected to another VPN most of my day, so can’t really go this route.

  • Is it considered bad practice to expose selfhosted services on public internet?
  • Limited container access is a good point. Noted.

    I think the APP itself is fine, but would an API access give attackers a mean to brute force into it? Sorry no expert here.

    The official wiki talks about securing password login with fail2ban. I guess this is not needed in my case, as it’s handled at the Authelia level.

  • Anyone using "docker run" instead of "docker compose"?
  • Because it’s “quick start”. Least effort to get a taste of it. For actual deployment I would use compose as well.

    Many project also have a example docker-compose.yml in the repository if you dig not so deep into it

    There is https://www.composerize.com to convert run command to compose. Works ~80% of the time.

    I honestly don’t understand why anyone would make “curl and bash” the officially installation method these days, with docker around. Unless this is the ONLY thing you install on the system, so many things can go wrong.

  • Is it considered bad practice to expose selfhosted services on public internet?

    I see a lot of people here uses some form of remote access tool (VPN/Tailscale) to access their home network when not at home. I can’t really do this because my phone (iOS) can only activate one VPN profile at a time, and I often need this for other stuff.

    So I chose to expose most web based services on the public internet, behind Authelia. But I don’t know how safe this is.

    What I’m really unsure are things like Vaultwarden: while the web interface is protected by Authelia (even use 2FA), its API address needs to be bypassed for direct access, otherwise the mobile APP won’t work. It feels like this is negative everything I’ve done so far.

    Is there a way to have this checked by default? (Authelia)

    Since over 90% percent of the time I’m on a personal device, I would rather have this on by default, and only specifically uncheck if I’m on a public device.

    Yea it only takes a second to check it, but another annoyance is that iOS would only show the big blue button to auto fill when you first load the page. After any interaction, it’s gone.

    I’m not sure if there is an Authelia setting that I’m unaware of. I looked through the online doc and couldn’t find anything about this.

    Thanks!
