Both sides have copper plating to wet solder to.

I can definitely tell you I'm comfortable with that.

If family doesn't know I'm dead in 3 days, they ain't family.

The likelihood that I die, and my loved ones decide to just turn off the server while knowing it's where the Vaultwarden software lives, before they get access to said Vaultwarden, is very very slim.

Self host whatever you want. Even Deadman switches.

The key is informing your loved ones the requirements for the switch. Just like if they don't know to request access in other Deadman switches.

You can self host Vaultwarden, which is essentially self managed Bitwarden.

And the feature can be setup fairly easily.

So a control system issue.... Dumb question, but have you tried removing power completely from it? Try to get it to reset. (Is where I'd start at least)

If that doesn't work, then it's essentially just replace the control board, as the program memory is likely corrupt.

After reading other comments it seems what you're really needing is a diagnostic guide instead of a repair manual. There aren't many things that have diagnostic guides, as those doing repairs are expected to know how to diagnose.

The simple breakdown of diagnosis is: what is it not doing that it should? How would that logically happen? Go to that point and test. For example, the drum never spins when it should. The drum is spun by a belt, is the belt broken? Fix it. Not broken belt? What moves the belt? A motor, test the motor. Is it getting power as it should? Yes, bad motor. No, what feeds the power to the motor....... and on and on until you find the problem.

Man how would it be to have 100,000 to lose to spammers.

Remember to plug it in, you don't want to have to go scrambling for a charger in the middle of the meeting.

Did you expect anything different?

With year end reviews coming up.... This hits hard

If I were in your shoes I'd sit down with the son and ask what he'd like, and try and explain why I'm uncomfortable being around his mother and her new fling. Then in the conversation figure out if his desire is greater than my hesitations, come to an understanding on what we feel the vacation would look like.

Would it be all 4 just.... Hanging out? Then probably not. That's the most awkward. Or would it be that there are things to do (planned) that could pair off and have some time with son, while his mother and fling does whatever they do? As long as those times are more frequent, and son likes the idea, sure I'd probably accept.

 

So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

AI is like a hammer (self.showerthoughts)
 

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

Thanks

Suggestions on bootcamps? (self.programming)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by ironhydroxide to c/[email protected]
 

I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

What bootcamps would you suggest?
