Received using RTL-SDR, the included V-Dipole Antenna, SDR++ for recording and SatDump for decoding. It is among the nicest I have received so far.

I switched up the faces hehe :)

Hello everyone! This is a small program I made yesterday to render the Mandelbrot Fractal with beautiful colors!

It isn't as fast as other programs (e.g. XaoS) but it is the first good program I have made using OpenGL. I may update it to render some other fractals too in the future (e.g. The Burning Ship).

I hope you like it!

After the arrest of Pavel Durov, I wanted to move from Telegram to something end-to-end encrypted. I know Signal is pretty good, but I think it is better to have our messages in my own server.

I have already looked in XMPP, but it required SSL certs and I did not have the mood to configure them.

Do you know any other selfhosted messaging service for a group of 4-5 friends, or an easy way to configure an XMPP server? Or shall I use Signal after all (I don't really care that much about being selfhosted, I just thought it would be more privacy friendly)?

UPDATE: I managed to set up an XMPP server using prosody with the SSL certs. We have been testing it with my friend and it seems to go well.

I saw a lot of people mentioning it in the comments of this NileRed video. I searched for this and not found a lot of information. It seems like it has something to do with Elon Musk (in this case maybe I won't want to learn).

Does anyone know?

I use Magisk but I have also heard about APatch or KernelSU. What do you use and what are the benefits of it?

I want something that has a WebUI, can show in a graph like the CPU and RAM graph for this day and maybe some days before. Also I would like to view what was running at any given time (I mean from 2-3 days before to now).

Is there any (FOSS) software that does that?

Thanks.

Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don't know if that is small or large.

How big is your collection?

Recently, my 10-year old drive that I pulled out of an old computer died. I want to buy another one now. The machine will run Jellyfin (I have an existing collection that I will be transferring from another drive), Immich, and the *arr stack.

I have this motherboard which has one SATA port and one PCIe x1 port. For this reason, I won't be able to add a second drive for redudancy, unless I add a PCIe to SATA card.

My biggest concern is that I want the drive to last. I don't want much capacity, I think 1-2 TB is enough. My budget is from 0€ (of course) to 65-70€.

So I have a couple of questions:

• Should I buy an SSD or an HDD?
• I live in Greece and ServerPartDeals is not an option because shipping is really high. Do you know a place where I could purchase it? (Preferably in Greece, but not necessary)
• Do you have any specific drive suggestions?
• Is there any other way (except for buying a PCIe to SATA card) to add more drives in the motherboard?

Thank you.

They're agreeing on the same version numbers.

I have an unused Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB model) lying around and I would like to install OpenWRT on it and use it as a router. I get Internet from DSL so I can't hook it up on the Raspberry Pi directly, I need to plug an Ethernet cable coming from my actual router to the Pi.

I am no expert on networking, so please forgive me if I say something that is wrong. I want the WAN coming in from the router from the Pi's Ethernet port, and the LAN coming out as Wi-Fi. I may also stick an additional Ethernet adapter to it in the future. I have tried doing this many times and have failed. So, could anyone explain to me how could I do this?

Also, what are VLANs, what are their uses and if I wanted one, how could I setup it in OpenWRT?

Thanks in advance.
