    Whats your favorite domain extension?

    Jump

  • Got a .cc for my home-lab, and a very cheap .li for a website I'm building. Other than that i got .de, .eu and .com for my name and my kids names. Don't know if they'll ever use them, but meh, a .de is a few cents per month.

  • What's the longest you've gone without friends?

    Jump

  • Heh, similar story here. I haven't had a friend since highschool, 25 years ago...

  • What piece(s) of pop media have you not consumed that people would think you weird for not having consumed yet?

  • Breaking Bad was okay, but not great. I did like Better Call Saul a whole lot better. The cinematography in that show (BCS) is amazing!

  • How do I use public URLs but route within my home network?

    Jump

  • I use Wireguard, so when I am outside, connected to my VPN, I use the internal DNS (pihole) for accessing internal network services using their fqdn.

  • Looking to start self hosting by going through Louis Rossman's recently released guide. Any pointers for a newbie are most welcome.

    Jump

  • Like other people suggested here, use opnsense instead of pfsense, and wireguard instead of openvpn. What I did for my homelab was to get a used HP t620 thinclient and an Intel 350 card with 2x 1gbps ports. You say you have 10gbps, so you would need a card that can handle that, and maybe a beefier CPU. For my setup, this tiny 65€ machine is not even feeling it. Single digit cpu usage for 2 wireguard connections, a little over 1GB RAM usage for a handful of services. I think for you an n100 with 4gb of ram is more than enough, but going for 8gb will be better and it will not be much more expensive.

  • What do you host on your backup servers?

  • For live monitoring (not offline!), maybe dozzle can help?

  • What do you host on your backup servers?

    Jump

  • I know about pbs, I even have an IP set aside for it :) I do have the built-in proxmox backup function take nightly snapshots or my important vms to my nas, but I don't have anything really put together. Also, nothing for my nas itself. It is configured in a raid 5, but as we all know, raid is not backup :)

    One day, after I am done with [insert reason here], I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

  • What do you host on your backup servers?

    Jump

  • My backup concept is on the to-do list. Been there for a couple years. I do have triple pihole/caddy/haproxy/redis for high availability on a triple node proxmox cluster! necessary? no. cool, though? heck yeah! friends and family impressed? uhm... what was the question?

  • What are some tips for people who had to raise themselves?

    Jump

  • As a neurodivergent dude growing up emotionally neglected (with cptsd because of that), I only started living after I left home.

    My advice, and that was really hard for me - start trusting people. Not blindly, but at least try. Also, ask for help. You will be surprised by the amount of people that actually say yes.

    Oh, later edit - learn to cook. Basic stuff at first, but that will help with your diet, your budget, impressing some so...

  • What is Pinterest for?

  • My d&d dm asked us (the players) to create pintrest pinboards with stuff relevant to our characters. Like clothing style, weapons, that kind of stuff. Never used it before...

  • My thoughts on docker

    Jump

  • I'm actually doing the opposite :)

    I've been using vms, lxc containers and docker for years. In the last 3 years or so, I've slowly moved to just docker containers. I still have a few vms, of course, but they only run docker :)

    Containers are a breeze to update, there is no dependency hell, no separate vms for each app...

    More recently, I've been trying out kubernetes. Mostly to learn and experiment, since I use it at work.

  • How much do you pay for your phone plan, what do you get in return and in which country?

    Jump
    • 5€/month for unlimited voice, text, net (romania) - I don't use this, since i moved away, but i've had this number since '99...
    • 35€/month for 25gb net, unlimited voice, text (germany) - it's a bit more expensive since it includes a phone as well (i got the pixel 8 when it came out).
    • 15-20€/month for 5-15gb and unlimited voice/text for my kids, also with phones (pixel 6a)
    • 45€/month for home Internet - 1000 down / 200 up (cable), unlimited + landline (which is not connected/in use.
