Docker permission issue, in Synology NAS
21 November 2024 @ 2:09 am
Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at
unix:///var/run/docker.sock:
Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.39/containers/traefik/logs?follow=1&stderr=1&stdout=1&tail=100×tamps=1:
dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
I'm using synology docker, and at some point I started needing sudo privileges to use docker, and I don't know what I did wrong.
Even after reinstalling the container manager, the same problem occurs. What is the solution?
The solution in the link below does not work.

21 November 2024 @ 1:21 am
There are many different ways to list all installed fonts.
But how can I list only all installed monospace fonts ?

Which is best combination of speed and reliability for disk imaging: dd, rsync or tar?
21 November 2024 @ 12:17 am
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. I want to make a disc image of nvme0n1, which is my boot drive. I have researched dd, rsync and tar, and there are conflicting opinions on which is best to use. A similar question was asked 13 years ago at Copy entire file system hierarchy from one drive to another but there are many different preferences expressed there, and the question is 13 years old.
If I use dd, I need to unmount nvme0n1. My question is, can I unmount it from the command line before running dd, or do I need to boot from an ISO before running dd. I don't know if unmounting is advisable while the system is already booted.
rsync seems unlikely for disk imaging, but I have seen it recommended, for example at the question referred to above, and
polycom failed to upload cfg file for polycom phone from vsftpd /home/vvx310 directory
20 November 2024 @ 11:39 pm
The other day I was trying to get my polycom up and running but could not understand why I can log into the phone's built in web server.
So the question is why?
Here is the phone settings:
provision server: DHCP is status everything left default:
Server type FTP
server address: 192.168.12.2
server user: vvx310
server password: xxxxxx
rest of commands are default
LTS security: disabled
GMT: untouched default 0
DNS: set to the Google DNS servers
DNS domain: untouched factory default : blank
Hostname: blank
There are no other settings. No option to turn on the built in web server.
Lastly I need also a copy of all the cfg files for phone. I am using what I thought was cfg files for this phone but read the readme.txt and this phone is not included in the list.
When I am on the command line, type in “ftp > open > server ip > login” is does show the cfg files for
Windows 10 creating new virtual USB ports upon reboot or new user
20 November 2024 @ 10:46 pm
We have 1 PC I'm each department for business continuity that has either an HP or a Xerox MFD installed via USB. At first everything works and is on usb001. Upon reboot or even a new user logging on, the OS is creating new virtual USB ports for the printer. I have one device up to usb0035. It does not delete the old ports and I am unable to delete them. Our users don't have access to update the USB port to the newest one. I am wondering else if someone else has seen this behavior or knows of a solution on how to prevent it. I've seen where people talk about turning off UPNP, but that isn't an option. I'm wondering if this has something to do with WSD even though it isn't actually installed that way since it has the capability. Any help would be very appreciated.
Were my original files deleted after cancelling a compression operation in WinRar
20 November 2024 @ 9:26 pm
I want to know if due to cancelling an ongoing compression operation I might have deleted my files permanently. Does WinRAR delete after all files are archived or line by line ? Or does it confirm entire archive is made and then proceeds to delete.
Points:
There are too many files to manually check
I checked the box for deleting original files after archiving in WinRAR windows GUI,
Delete files is checked in Delete mode
How to dump values from chrome://flags/ to a file to compare settings between two Chrome versions
20 November 2024 @ 5:48 pm
I have Google Chrome production and beta versions loaded on my laptop. In order to troubleshoot some issue on a web application using https protocol, that would get a resource from a URL using http protocol. This was probably a couple years ago. The setting was to allow me the option to access that http resource via the warning page "are you sure you want to access http://example.com/some.js", instead of just not loading it.
Well, later on I wanted to get rid of that flag, and I didn't remember what flag it was. And now, I am having an issue with the production version of Chrome handling Okta verification using Windows Hello and fingerprint validation, but my beta Chrome version works fine.
So, I'd like to dump out as a text file the chrome://flags/ settings from production Chrome and beta Chrome, to compare them to see if that is causing my current issue.
Is that po

Veracrypt how can I securly encrypt an ssd
19 November 2024 @ 3:08 pm
I had an windows 10 computer with an nvme ssd that I encrypted with the veracrypt system encryption (Encrypt the windows system partition). The other option was greyed out.
Now I purchased a new PC with 3 ssds of which 2 are nvme. After some research on encryption I learned that system encryption of an ssd is much more complicated then I thought it was. To name a few wear-leveling, trim and that data that was on the ssd before encryption is not encrypted.
I want to learn how I can encrypt all drives without the possibility that any personal files can be discoverd without the password.
I have not installed windows on the new computer yet.
I hope that you can help me encrypting my drives the right way.
Windows Explorer Not Responding But Crashes, Fade Black and Open "Please Wait a Moment" Windows 10
19 November 2024 @ 2:02 pm
I've been having this issue since a few days now and it's really annoying, it started when the media player of windows acted up and was crashing 24/7 and now the file explorer just crashes, it put me in a black screen and then goes to a panel "Please wait a moment" of Windows when it's trying to install something but I have no idea how to fix that or go on that page to fix the issue.
I've tried alot of things, even indexing and it doesn't works.
Does anyone has a solution?
Edit
I've fixed the problem, I reverted my windows update and it now work for now, I'll see if I still have a problem!
