Re: [Dorset] Pi 5's PCIe connector for NVMe SSDs.

Hi Ralph, Finally managed to find the mailing list join details! As for NVMe HAT's, personally, I use the Geekwork x1001[1] on mine with a Samsung 990 EVO (Overkill, I know, but it was free from work) When it comes to NVMe over TCP, RedHat does have some fairly decent documentation[2] on how

Re: [Dorset] Pi 5's PCIe connector for NVMe SSDs.

While on the topic of drives on Pi's; I did read this post by Jeff Geerling the other day. Might be something worth looking into if you won't benefit from the additional bandwidth and features of NVMe. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/radxas-sata-hat-makes-compact-pi-5-nas Seems somewhat

[Dorset] In-person meeting, Wednesday 19th June.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it either; Spent all of last week at a festival and sprained my ankle in a moshpit. Although I'll definitely try and turn up to the next meet, as I could do with a pint! Thanks, Rhys. -- Next meeting: The Broadway, Wednesday, 2024-06-19 20:00 Check to

Hi, I'll try my best to attend, however I am currently studying for the Cisco CCIE exam and might bet stuck in a state of study. 🤣 Cheers, Rhys. From: dorset on behalf of Peter Merchant Sent: 02 July 2024 09:35:14 To: dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk Subject: Re:

[Dorset] Verifying backup mail exchanger

Hi all, So for the last few weeks I've had some problems with my internet, and since I host my mail server, I have missed some mail. Since I'm somewhat of a night-owl, I've decided to setup a `postfix` server on a remote VM that is configured to recieve any mail sent while my primary mailserv

[Dorset] Argentinian Fraudulent emails

Hey Graeme, The best course of action would be to first report that address to https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/abuse/ As for running it, I expect any malware will be written for an x86_64 Windows machine so I’d be doubtful of it running on an ARM system, like the Pi, let alone Linux. You could like

[Dorset] Lost Netgear NAS drive

Hi Clive, How are you trying to connect to the NAS? Via DNS or IP address? Are you able to ping it from either? If you can ping it, try running an `nmap` scan, from memory the following command should do that for you (substituting x.x.x.x for the device's IP): nmap -sT X.X.X.X -Pn It may take a l

Hi James, >From what I've used, Mint gives you the most "windows-like" experience out of the box; however, if you feel like starting from the ground up, plain 'ol Debian is a good choice. If you feel like trying something new, I personally quite like RPM-based distros like RHEL (or RockyLinux), Op

Re: [Dorset] What linux distro should I use?

Hi James, Another thing I suggest you do if you're unsure on what distro to choose, is to install a hypervisor. VirtualBox or VMware Workstation are both free options, and I've attached the download links below: VMware: https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/17.6.3/24583834/window

Hi James, You may need to enable the latest Debian repositories. I can't remember exactly the numbers or the location for Debian systems, the others can chime in if they know :), however I recall having a similar issue on my laptop a while back. Hope this helps. Thanks, Rhys. Sent from Outlook

Re: [Dorset] OT: Digital Phone Lines (Follow-up)

Hi Terry, Wifi-wise, your best bet in my opinion would be to get some wireless access points and scatter them around the house. There are also mesh systems you can get if you don't want wires everywhere. Just make sure you disable the wifi on the router, and disable router-mode on the mesh. I'

Re: [Dorset] OT: Digital Phone Lines (Follow-up)

Hi Terry, It might be worth looking into Asterisk on a Pi if you're interested in continuing use of the landline. An ATA should allow you to use the old phone if that's of interest too. If you'd rather use a desktop phone without an adapter, I think I have some older Cisco phones you're free

Re: [Dorset] OT: Digital Phone Lines (Follow-up)

Hi Terry, Depending on the provider, you should be able to port the number across. I know AAISP (https://www.aa.net.uk/voice-and-mobile/voip-information/) will allow you to keep your old number. Their support team is also fairly active on IRC or on the phone if you wish to discuss with them.
