  • Those with a smart watch, which one and how do you use it daily?

    Jump

  • Xiaomi mi band 8.

    Specifically with gadgetbridge. It's the main reason why I got this one. At the time it was the cheapest watch that gadgetbridge supported.

    Other than notifications it's mainly used as an alarm clock. Anything on the nightstand would wake up the rest of the house before it manages to wake me up. While since I sleep with my arm under my head. I basically have the watch up against my ear...

    Also. While it's still notifications in the end. I have a small script running on my homeserver/pi that checks when there are issues with the train I use to commute to work (delays. Reroutes cancellations. Etc...) If there are any issues. It just uses ntfy.sh to send notification on my phone. Which I rarely pull out at work since I work up on scaffoldings most of the time. (Unfortunately the national train service's app lacks this kind of notifications built-in. But at least they make train data easily accessible)

  • If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?

  • Liking computers in general and switching to Linux at 15 out of desperation.

    After that all it took was getting an shitbox pc as a hand me down to make me go "Linux is also used on servers right? Shouldn't be too difficult to setup something." And that's how I got the bug.

  • I once wired my whole ass house for ethernet. (Before realizing I was colorblind nonetheless.) Instead of studying.

    Never underestimate how you can use study procrastination as a push force for other shit. (Unless you're a dipshit like me and do it with an imminent exam)

  • What you listening to this week?

    Jump

  • Crunching like mad for an exam currently. So justice and femtanyl to hype myself up while studying. (For me they work well since they don't have lyrics/they aren't easily comprehensible)

    And before going to sleep. Either caravan palace or Jamie Berry to calm back down. + a couple of songs from Mina Celentano.

  • I still remember when my cousin's cat chewed through the pellet stove's power cord... I don't think I've ever heard a sound that so perfectly matched the expression "screams from hell". Luckily the RCD tripped so the poor bastard survived. But he sure as hell isn't touching wires again.

  • What do you get when you combine the last two books you read?

    Jump

  • The last two books i've read are my Aerodynamics book for an exam. And Harry Potter and the philosopher stone to help my sibling make a review for English class.

    Sooo... Potter will see how his magic fares against a rocket.

  • how do you manage to go through and play a game?

    Jump

  • I started a game review blog here on Lemmy, but I'm having trouble finding games I want to discuss lately

    Ooh I remember you! It was fun seeing people having takes on some older games I had actually played while on the train. Mainly kona and Pacific drive.

    My 2¢ when you also manage to get out of this purgatory is valley, parkour/puzzle based for the sake of exploring what happened to the place. Story driven and pretty good from what I remember. I played it back when it came out.

    The other one is ultrakill. Frenetic as fuck boomer shooter. Most of the fun comes with learning tricks and acing levels and challenges. Not everyone's cup of tea. Still. Hakita's a musician and it shows a lot. The soundtrack is great. And the game was originally made to promote an album iirc. Played before the last round of exams sucked all will from me.

    anything in particular that's also stuck in your list?

  • how do you manage to go through and play a game?

    Jump

  • TBF it's not that bad of an idea... The first game I've ever finished was Wario ware after all.

    I'll look into this.

    Meanwhile I picked up Cyberpunk the first time it went on sale and have played through the tutorial like 5 times.

    This hits a little closer to home than I'm willing to admit.

  • how do you manage to go through and play a game?

    Jump

  • I genuinely haven't touched a game in three months due to exams. I've just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.

    Could also be me going into standby in the evening from work/classes.

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

    Jump

  • Willingly is a strong word. More of a "this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well". It's been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.

    Also I'm quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.

    I've tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn't process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I've started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don't program for a living.

    I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it's MS-DOS based software ffs.

  • You can't imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle's computer back in ~2010. And just never left.

    It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I'll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.

    Is it the best? Nope. But it's fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

    Jump

  • i'm not sure if it's equivalent. but in the meantime i have cobbled up a series of commands from various forums to do the whole process, and i came up with the following openssl commands.

     
        
openssl genrsa -out servorootCA.key 4096

openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key servorootCA.key -sha256 -days 3650 -out servorootCA.pem

openssl genrsa -out star.servo.internal.key 4096

openssl req -new -key star.servo.internal.key -out star.servo.internal.csr

openssl x509 -req -in star.servo.internal.csr -CA servorootCA.pem -CAkey servorootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out star.servo.internal.crt -days 3650 -sha256 -extfile openssl.cnf -extensions v3_req

    with only the crt and key files on the server, while the rest is on a usb stick for keeping them out of the way.

    hopefully it's the same. though i'll still go through the book out of curiosity... and come to think of it. i do also need to setup calibre :-).

    thanks for everything. i'll have to update the post with the full solution after i'm done, since it turned out to be a lot more messy than anticipated...

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

  • Don't worry. Lemmy is asynchronous after all. Instant responses aren't expected. Plus. I know life gets in the way :-).

    It was basically a misconception I had about how the homelab router would route the connection

    Basically with pihole set up. It routes servo.internal to 192.168.1.y, the IP of the homelab router. So when a machine from the inside of the homelab. On 10.0.0.*, connects to the server. It will refer to it via the 192.168.1.y IP of the router.

    The misconception was that I thought all the traffic was going to bounce between the homelab router and the home router. Going through the horrendously slow LAN cable that connects them and crippling the bandwidth between 10.0.0.* machines and the server.

    I wanted to setup another pihole server for inside of the homelab. So it would directly connect to the server on it's 10.0.0.* address instead of the 192.168.1.y. And not go and bounce needlessly between the two routers.

    But apparently the homelab router realizes he's speaking to itself. And routes the data directly to the server. Without passing though the home router and the slower Ethernet. So the issue is nonexistent, and I can use one pihole instance with 192.168.1.y for the server without issue. (Thanks to darkan15 for explaining that).

    While I do have my self-learned self-hosted knowledge, I'm not an IT guy, so I may be mistaken here and there.

    I think most of us are in a similar situation. Hell. I weld for a living atm :-P.

    However, I can give you a diagram on How it works on my setup right now and also gift you a nice ebook to help you setup your mini-CA for your lan :

    The diagram would be useful. Considering that rn I'm losing my mind between man pages.

    As for the book... I can't accept. Just give me the name/ISBN and I'll provide myself. Still. Thanks for the offer.

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

    Jump

  • No, the request would stop on Router B, and maintain all traffic, on the 10.0.0.* network it would not change subnets, or anything

    OK perfect. That was my hiccup. I thought it was going to go the roundabout way and slow the traffic down. I was willing to Put in numbers (masking them with the landing page buttons) if it meant I wouldn't have to go needlessly through the slower cable. If the router keeps everything inside of it's own subnet if he realizes he's talking to itself then it's perfect.

    Thanks for the help

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

    Jump

  • I think I didn't explain myself the right way.

    Computers from inside of Router B will access the server via it's IP. Nginx will only serve an HTML file with the links for them. Basically acting as a bookmark page for the IP:port combos. While anything from Router A will receive a landing page that has the subdomains, that will be resolved by pihole (exposed to the machines on Router A as an open port on router b) and will make them pass through the proxy.

    So basically the DNS will only be used on machines from Router A, and the rules on nginx are just to give links to the reverse proxy if the machine is from router A (I.e. the connection is coming from 10.0.0.1 from the server's POV, or maybe the server name in the request. I'll have to mess with nginx), or the page with the raw IP of the server+ port of the service if coming from Router B.

    router A is Unfortunately junk from my ISP, and it doesn't allow me to change the DNS. So I'll just add Router B ( and thus, the pihole instance that's on the server) as a primary dns, and an external one as a secondary DNS as fallback.

    If you decide on doing the secondary local DNS on the server on Router B network, there is no need to loop back, as that DNS will maintain domain lookup and the requests on 10.0.0.x all internal to Router B network

    Wouldn't this link to the 192.168.0.y address of router B pass through router A, and loop back to router B, routing through the slower cable? Or is the router smart enough to realize he's just talking to itself and just cut out `router A from the traffic?

  • issues setting up nginx as an https proxy

    Jump

  • I think I'll do this with one modification. I'll make nginx serve the landing page with the subdomains when computers from router A try to access. ( by telling nginx to serve the page with the subdomains when contacted by 10.0.0.1) while I'll serve another landing page that bypasses the proxy, by giving the direct 10.0.0.* IP of the server with the port, for computers inside router B .

    Mostly since the Ethernet between router a and b is old. And limits transfers to 10Mbps. So I'd be handicapping computers inside router B by looping back. Especially since everything inside router B is supposed to be safe. And they'll be the ones transferring most of the data to it.

    Thanks for the breakdown. It genuinely helped in understanding the Daedalus-worthy path the connections need to take. I'll update the post with my final solution and config once I make it work.
