I’m not really convinced scientists is a leopards my face moment. Most American scientists would not have voted for the current president.

Corruption.

This includes government officials, private industry and the general mass movement of money from the middle and upper middle classes to the multimillionaire and billionaire classes.

Ultimately, it’s always about money.

You can’t see the video? If you can’t vpn it then I’ll post it elsewhere so you can see it.

You are me, 3 years ago! I’m diagnosed with ADHD and what you described is exactly how I felt when I was starting out. I even bought a RaspberryPi 4B+ CanaKit which sat in the box for over a year, just like you.

3 years later I have the Pihole, OPNsense router & firewall, Jellyfin, Traefik reverse proxy, and a bunch of other stuff too. My advice would be to start super small so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It is incredibly easy to get overwhelmed with all of this.

For what it’s worth, before I started hosting anything, I started with NextDNS. I just set up my iPhone and computers (then mac, now mostly linux) to use that service. It comes with super easy-to-use instructions and you can start for free. If you don’t like it, you can always just delete the account and it’ll be like you never used it at all. Very low risk but doing this will teach you about DNS. From there you can begin to move to a Pihole and Docker, if you’re comfortable.

Feel free to DM if you want. It’s a great community here and we’re all a pretty relaxed group.

I can’t even specify the allowed IPs for a connection

Funny. This was the exact use case which cemented my pf/OPN sense decision. I used to use pf, now use OPNsense. And as you probably know, the IP specificity issue is not just regarding Wireguard, it’s also regarding your reverse proxy, if you’re running one.

As an aside, I have OPNsense handling DHCP which broadcasts two PiHoles (redundancy) as the DNS to my networked machines/devices. Then for upstream DNS, I have those two piholes pointed at a dedicated technitium dns box – it’s it’s an authoritative dns server, not just a recursive one like unbound. As I said in my previous comment, there are probably better or fancier setups but this one, for my needs, is sufficient.

I’ve always been flummoxed by Ubiquity products. I’m no sysadmin but I understand my way around networking and I absolutely agree with your “halfway implemented” critique. I installed Ubiquity at my parents’ house so that I could more easily do remote troubleshooting when something their network goes down. But for myself, I just stick with OpnSense at home. It’s not perfect but it suits my needs.

This was a fun writeup to read. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

This also made me chuckle. 10/10 comment.

Saved you a click

Today, a quick visit to Symbolics.com will take you to what is essentially a web-based museum. In 2009, the domain was acquired by Aron Meystedt, a startup investor and founder of Napkin.com.

[It offers] users a glimpse into historic events and milestones over the course of the web’s development

I always thought Marissa Meyer and Kathy Wood should have started a cryptocurrency together. Missed opportunity.

Your recommendations?

I want it for the build quality. My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.

I use Backblaze for all offsite backups

It’s not ‘better’. They are completely different works. Both symphonies most well-known movements are the respective 1st movements. 5th’s first movement is powerful while the 6th is calm and beautiful. But the 6th symphony is known as the Pastoral and is wonderful, but very different than the fifth symphony.

On mobile which is why this reply is so short.

This was poorly executed. The National Park Service twitter account does jokes well.

You should ask @brucethemoose@lemmy.world. He seems to know all about this stuff.

I was thinking about setting it up. What clients do you recommend for iOS and tvOS?

There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.

I don’t know what any of this means. Can someone translate?

Controls how “selective” the algorithm is when boosting superblocks, based on their low/high 8x8 variance ratio. A value of 1 is the least selective, and will readily boost a superblock if only 1/8th of the superblock is low variance. Conversely, a value of 8 will only boost if the entiresuperblock is low variance. Lower values increase bitrate. The default value is 6.
