OpenWrt is an open source Linux project aimed at embedded devices to route network traffic (e.g. routers). I’ve consistently run OpenWrt on my home routers for over a decade now (I still remember the brief LEDE split), and it has since been my preferred home router OS. While I’ve also wanted to experiment with OPNsense (and pfSense before), I’ve never had a real reason to thus far, but I digress…​ It might be interesting to add some network security such as intrusion prevention to your residential gateway directly. You might of old be familiar with Fail2Ban, and I’ve happily used Fail2Ban for years. CrowdSec is a similar solution, albeit more community-driven. Klaus Agnoletti, then (still?) head of community at CrowdSec, summarised the similarities and differences between the two: ...

My previous post discussed how to get a headless Steam instance running on TrueNAS SCALE. I had a spare GPU which I wanted to repurpose to play (older) video games without first needing to boot my desktop. This post roughly documents how I run my Home Assistant instance on my TrueNAS SCALE server. The official website details several installation methods, which mainly comes down to two installation types: either a full-fledged OS image (HA OS), or; a (less feature-complete) containerised version. ...

I finally got hashcat running on Docker, with GPU support for NVIDIA cards. First, I needed to install Docker and NVIDIA Container Toolkit on my system, and add my user to the docker group. root $ pacman -S --needed docker nvidia-container-toolkit root $ systemctl enable --now docker.service root $ usermod -aG docker user Then I created a Dockerfile to set up the hashcat environment with NVIDIA support (using a BlackArch image): FROM blackarchlinux/blackarch:latest RUN pacman -Syu --noconfirm && \ pacman -S --noconfirm \ blackarch/cracken \ blackarch/pack \ blackarch/pipal \ extra/hashcat \ extra/hashcat-utils RUN mkdir -p /etc/OpenCL/vendors && \ echo "libnvidia-opencl.so.1" > /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd RUN mkdir /cracking...

After watching Lawrence Systems' video about why it’s time to move off TrueNAS CORE—​which I had been putting off for too long already—​I finally migrated to Community (SCALE). I guess it was the last push I needed, really. I even migrated most of my services inside my VMs to either separate TrueNAS Apps, or vanilla docker containers I manage via Dockge (such as Nextcloud AIO). But then I also noticed another available TrueNAS App which piqued my interest: Steam Headless. ...
