    • TuMFatig ☛ Check your IP infos using nginx

      There are a few times when I want to check which public IP I am browsing from… I used to use the WhatsMyIP sites but the Internet being what it is these days, I switched to using my SearXNG which has the IP plugin enabled.

      Still, there are times I need to get my IP from a script and want a dead simple option for this. So I switched to using nginx and GeoLite2.

    • Gunnar Wolf ☛ Gunnar Wolf: Can a server be just too stable?

      One of my servers at work leads a very light life: it is our main backups server (so it has a I/O spike at night, with little CPU involvement) and has some minor services running (i.e. a couple of Tor relays and my personal email server...

  • Desktop Environments (DE)/Window Managers (WM)

    • GNOME Desktop/GTK

      • GNOME ☛ Jordan Petridis: Nightly Flatpak CI gets a cache

        Recently I got around tackling a long standing issue for good. There were multiple attempts in the past 6 years to cache flatpak-builder artifacts with Gitlab but none had worked so far.

        On the technical side of things, flatpak-builder relies heavily on extended attributes (xattrs) on files to do cache validation. Using gitlab’s built-in cache or artifacts mechanisms results in a plain zip archive which strips all the attributes from the files, causing the cache to always be invalid once restored. Additionally the hardlinks/symlinks in the cache break. One workaround for this is to always tar the directories and then manually extract them after they are restored.
