Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade
  • I found an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF at 100€ here. It has an Intel core i5 4th Gen and 8GB of RAM. Not exactly mini but cheap. Do you think it's worth it?

    EDIT: nvm I found this used Intel nuc here with the same specs.

  • Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade

    Hello everyone,

    I am running some services like Jellyfin, Radarr, QBittorrent, Jellyseerr and some others on my Raspberry Pi 4. The problem is that it is already struggling to run those, since it has only 2GB of RAM. I wish it was possible to do a RAM upgrade to the Raspberry Pi but the RAM is soldered to the motherboard. I don't want to buy another Raspberry Pi with more RAM because they are quite expensive and I don't want to have two of them. So can you recommend something for around or under 100€?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think I just nuked my home partition
  • Sadly, I don't have a backup of the header. But I know the password that was used to decrypt the partition. Anyway, from the things you said, I can conclude that it might be irrecoverable.

  • I think I just nuked my home partition

    I wanted to install Debian Linux after a weird journey with Gentoo Linux. My partition layout is this:

    • Boot Partition (512 MiB, mount at /boot)
    • Swap Partition (4 GiB)
    • Root Partition (~80 GiB, mount at /)
    • Home Partition (~170 GiB, mount at /home, LUKS encrypted)

    While trying to preserve the home partition, I think I clicked 'Configure encrypted partitions' on the Debian installer and then set a password for it (the same that it had before).

    Now, I can unlock it like before, but after it is unlocked, no utility recognizes the filesystem (ext4) and the file command reports it as being data: ```

    file -s -L /dev/mapper/home

    /dev/mapper/home: data ```

    file on the encrypted partition returns the following: ```

    file -s /dev/nvme0n1p4

    /dev/nvme0n1p4: LUKS encrypted file, ver 2, header size 16384, ID 3, algo sha256, salt 0x590d84c0e8397ad0..., UUID: c5ff37db-11f7-4ccf-8869-c4bc22648202, crc 0x345f75d85c9f444a..., at 0x1000 {"keyslots":{"0":{"type":"luks2","key_size":64,"af":{"type":"luks1","stripes":4000,"hash":"sha256"},"area":{"type":"raw","offse ``` (This is the complete output, it cuts at offset for some reason)

    My luksDump output is this: ```

    cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p4

    LUKS header information Version: 2 Epoch: 3 Metadata area: 16384 [bytes] Keyslots area: 16744448 [bytes] UUID: c5ff37db-11f7-4ccf-8869-c4bc22648202 Label: (no label) Subsystem: (no subsystem) Flags: (no flags)

    My guess is that I re-encrypted the already encrypted partition. Also, I noticed that the UUID changed. Can anyone help me recover it? Thanks in advance.

    If you need more logs, I will happily provide them to you.

    What is Reddit doing

    I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

    Problems running *arr stack on Raspberry Pi
  • I saw that it uses about 1,3 GB of memory. This means another 700MB remain. Because of this, I don't think the cause is the memory. Also, I forgot to mention that I am also running qbittorrent for downloading, gluetun for VPN, and jellyfin and jellyseerr.

  • Problems running *arr stack on Raspberry Pi

    Hello everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 4B with 2GBs of RAM. I am trying to run all the *arr stack via docker containers(5 or 6 containers) but this causes my Raspberry Pi to lag very much. I could not use any of the stack's web interface or SSH to the pi during the lag and to fix it I had to reset the pi.

    I think it is because I have little RAM but it might also be the power supply because I sometimes get messages for undervoltage.

    What do you think is happening and how could I fix it? Do I need to buy a more powerful device?

    Thanks in advance.

    I deleted my google accounts today
  • I want to delete mine too, but I use GMail and I have not found a good alternative yet. Tutanota doesn't have Thunderbird support and ProtonMail has, but only on paid accounts. I really want to use Thunderbird because it is such a great email client.

  • Minecraft Bedrock for Linux

    Hello, I am trying to install Minecraft Bedrock on Arch Linux to play cross-platform multiplayer with my friends. I have heard about the mcpelauncher but that requires to have Minecraft from Play Store, and I already have bought Java and Bedrock for PC. Can I do anything to actually play Minecraft Bedrock on Linux?

    YouTube cracking on ad blockers.
  • They want you to remember their products. For example, you know that Grammarly is a text correction service. If the ads didnt exist you wouldn't know that, so now if you want a service like this, instead of searching "top autocorrect tools" or something else, you would search "grammarly download".

    Thinkpad X250 suddenly stopped working

    My Thinkpad X250 suddenly stopped working one day. I opened it and I saw this chip left to the Ethernet port. It seems like it has exploded or something like that. Before it stopped working, sometimes it would get as hot as 95°C. Do have any idea of why it would stop working and if so, how I could repair it? Thanks in advance.

    Firefox for Android vs Fennec

    Title basically. I want to know what are the differences and which is the best in terms of privacy. Also, F-Droid says that Fennec tracks your activity, is it true?

    Privacy respecting alternative to Youtube

    I need a more privacy-oriented alternative to Youtube. I have try Odysee, which open-source but it has to do with tokens and that seems to me like crypto, which I don't like. I have heard about Newpipe but this only for Android. Can you recommend me one that is also for the web and optionally open-source?

    Sorry for bad english
