Phone repair shop suggestions?

Hi - my wife is a Cancun local, lives near centro. Looking for a reputable repair shop to put a new battery in an iPhone 13. Current one has expanded to the point of lifting the screen off.

Genuine Apple battery is 1900MXN but they likely won’t touch it due to the phones condition. Only needs to last 2 months as replacing when the 18 launches.

Any suggestions?

Your Spotify alternatives?

Edit: YourSpotify is a metrics dashboard for listen history, not a selfhosted spotify media playback alternative.

Any good alternatives to YourSpotify?

Ever since the Spotify API changes last year, I (and seemingly many others) have been unable to get it to work. Zero documentation updates in over a year, last commit over 3 months ago.

Used to be a huge fan of the project, even sponsored it, but looks like its knocking on deaths door.

Manual import not able to actually match files? (Unlike Son/rad*)

LSIO Sabz image seemingly fails to extract most RARs, so I ended up with a huge complete dir of unextracted nzbs. I threw together a quick script to extract everything, and now I am attempting to manual import.

Sonarr/Radarr - no issues. They both matched the files on disk against wanted and got on with it. Lidarr? Nah - It expects me to manually tag the artist, album and track for every single file (thousands of them).

Am I missing something silly?

Paperless seemingly stopped detecting and rejecting duplicates?

Running v3.0.2 in docker.

I often use paperless over a vpn/poor connection, so my typical workflow is to purposefully try and upload documents 2-3 times to ensure it has everything (especially when dealing with PDFs that are double digit MB / several hundred pages in size). Until this week, paperless has flawlessly recognized and rejected duplicates, but as of now, seemingly no duplicate rejection at all.

What changed?

Edit: New "feature" in V3.0 - Will leave post up in case others stumble upon this issue.

https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/pull/11815

Fix is to add PAPERLESS_CONSUMER_DELETE_DUPLICATES=true to your docker compose env section

PC & macOS cross play?

Guess this is part feedback part "do we have a date" - any idea when macOS cross play will be enabled? I get that its in beta, I get that ranked would be silly, but for casual MP it sucks. Surely its no less stable than running under Crossover/Parallels yet those can play in even ranked. Seems like a silly limitation

Feeder USB instability woes - any tips?

Hi all,

So far ive tried

  1. adsb.im image inside ESXI VM + USB pass through

  2. adsb.im image inside QEMU + USB pass through

  3. docker (ultrafeeder + tar1090 + fr24feeder) on top of raw debian

on two different hosts.

Ive tried a generic chinese SDR and a nooelec SDR.

Regardless of setup, I struggle for 24 hours of uptime before I have to reinsert USB devices and reboot everything.

Anyone else running into similar stability issues?

CVE-2026-0386 - WinServ2025 - How to re-enable unattend XMLs in WDS?

Hi all,

Until a week or so ago, I had a Server 2019 VM in ESXI. Its sole purpose in life was to run WDS and shit out windows 10/11 installs with an answer file. The answer file was so basic that it does not justify the complexity of MDT or SCCM. This setup worked FLAWLESSLY for over 5 years.

I recently moved away from ESXI, and as such, set out to re-create the same VM based on server 2025.

It seems that CVE-2026-0386 recently surfaced and Microsoft has since gone out of their way to block WDS answer files due to a security concern. I do over 400 installs per year and run an isolated/sandboxed deployment network anyway, so Im more than happy to take the risk in favor of convenience.

Supposedly you can set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WdsServer\
​​​​​​​Providers\WdsImgSrv\Unattend

Enabled - dword = 1

AllowHandsFreeFunctionality - dword =1

and that will bypass this restriction, however, in my case this does not seem to work.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

UK buyer paranoid about engine choice

Hi all,

UK buyer here - pretty much cornered into a ranger as our truck market is pretty poor in terms of choice, so the ranger and amarok are the only sensible daily driver options and the ranger presents a much better value proposition.

I really like the current shape RA ranger but Ive heard that the 2L variant is a wet belt (hard avoid) and that the 3L, whilst timing chain, still uses a wet belt just for the oil pump (what a silly design!)

The previous gen 3.2 5cyl seems like a solid drive train, but the RA is a much nicer place to be.

If you had a choice between the 3.2 5cyl wildtrack vs an RA with the 3L, which are you choosing?

Loosing my mind with kvm network stability

Hi all

Recently switched from ESXI + Hardware RAID + VMs running docker to Debian + ZFS + docker + 1 single windows VM in KVM.

Hardware wise, Dell T430 w/ E5 2697 v4, enough ram (dont want to start ww3) and an X520-DA2. Router is a 9th gen i3 Opnsense box, switch is an Aruba 1930.

I have 1x 10gb link from the server to the switch, standard intel optics/om4 lc, nothing exotic. The link has 4x bridges configured, each bridge is on its own vlan. Docker has of course created a million of its own bridges.

KVM - created a single 4 core 8 gb VM for windows server (1 specific service I simply cannot host on Linux). Ive tried e1000e and virtio. Network is stable enough for ping to not drop, but unstable enough for a 500MB NFS/SMB transfer to be impossible. SFTP in Filezilla gives 1-2 seconds of transfer, 5 second hang and so on whilst flooding the log with ECONNABORT errors.

From what I can tell, there is no CPU exhaustion, no irq exhaustion, no memory exhaustion, no buffer overflow, no errors/packet drops/discards etc.

I then tried moving the bridge that the VM is connected to to its own 1gb link on a different nic and also stopped docker. Same issue.

I feel like this should be quite a simple ask and quite a non-complex setup? Am I missing something silly?

AMD GPU causing system to power back on after shutdown?

Hi,

I recently switched from an RTX4070 to an RX7800XT - ever since, every time I shut my system (Dell Precision T7820) down, it instantly turns back on again.

If I power it down from bios, it stays off, so is OS level.

With some ChatGPT diagnosing (I know I know, forgive me), I managed to determine that somehow the GPU and/or its driver are sending some sort of PCIe wake signal, despite fedora "cleanly shutting down".

I managed to find a similar post on the Arch forums about an AMD integrated GPU, but seemingly unresolved.

Anyone else had this?

Anyone else had silly/obviously incorrect parking PCNs recently?

In the last week, my father and I have both had PCNs in Southampton.

In my case, I allegedly parked in a disabled bay without a valid blue badge. Their own evidence shows the badge on the dashboard, in time and in date so no idea whats invalid about it.

In dads case, he received a letter today saying that a PCN hadn't been paid in 14 days and he now owed the full amount. Not only was there no PCN on the windshield, but he paid via the app so he has a PDF receipt where the parking location matches the name on the PCN!

Wondering if the council have elected some fresh idiots?

About to full send ZFS for the first time - quick sanity check?

Hi all,

Current setup: ESXI (so hardware raid), VMFS on top, File server with Debian/ext4 on the virtual disk. 3x8tb in a hardware raid 5 with a local 16tb jbod for backup. Host is UPS backed and has 192gb ecc ram. OS/VMs are on a hardware raid1 of 2x4tb sata ssd. There is a single 1tb nvme ssd that I use as a network swap drive (just for moving shit around quickly as I have 10gb lan). This setup has been stable for about 5 years, but its time to move away from ESXI and im out of storage.

Proposed plan: Borrow 20TB of storage just to temporarily throw everything on to, flatten the current server, install Debian or Rocky (yet undecided) on the 2x 4tb ssd (likely in an md raid 1), buy 3x more 8TB drives (so 6x total), then raidz2 of the 6x8tb's.

Single vdev, single pool, maybe 3-4 datasets, no zvols.

Am I right in thinking I dont want a special due to single point of failure, and little benefit to a SLOG/L2 given ram quantity? Am I best off selling the 1tb nvme to offset the cost of the 3x new 8tbs?

Any drivers to prefer debian or rocky from a ZFS perspective?

Also inherited an LTO 6 drive so interested to learn my options for flushing zfs snapshots to tape.

Storage box performance between box and VPS in same DC?

Hi

I currently have a storage box and externally I cap out at about 3-4MB/s (not a WAN internet speed bottleneck on my part).

I tried contacting support, moving it to another dc etc, but no improvement. Given its just for some overnight offsite backup jobs, its good enough so I didnt investigate further.

I do however wonder if the performance between the box and a VPS in the same DC would be better? Is anyone using this setup? If so, would it be quick/reliable enough to mount it via something like SSHFS and run docker volumes on it?
