This looks great. I’m running a Teable instance, but sometimes it feels like it is “too much” sometimes.
I think I’ll deploy this for fun to check out. I don’t see anything specific here for things like gift ideas or favorite flowers/colors? Like custom tags/categories/attributes.
I’m using Teable to track things like that, but I love the visualization here, reminds me of my obsidian mind map lol.
Ah classic IPoAC!
I run my webservers behind a pfsense firewall with ssl offloading(using a wildcard cert) with a static IP and use Haproxy to have sub-domain’s go to individual servers. Even though I’ve seen my fair share of scans, I only ever expose port 443 and keep things updated.
Recently though someone on here mentioned routing everything over Tailscale via a VPS. I didn’t want to pay for a VPS and frankly can’t even find one that is reasonably priced in the US(bandwidth limits mainly), so I threw Tailscale onto my pfsense, setup split-dns on Tailscale’s admin panel with my domain name, and then reconfigured Haproxy to listen on my Tailscale interface. Even got IPv6 working(huge pain due to a bug it seems). Oh and setup pfblocker.
My current plan is I’m going to run my webservers behind Tailscale and keep my game servers public and probably segment those servers to a different vlan/subnet/dmz/whatever. And maybe just have a www/blog landing page that is read only on 443 and have it’s config/admin panel accessible via my tailscale only.
Anyway, back on topic. I run my game servers and I don’t advertise them out anywhere(wildcard cert) and do whitelist only, yet I still see my minecraft servers get hit constantly on port 25565.
So not much you can do except minimize exposure as much as possible.
Oh for sure. Kind of forgot about that.
I usually build my own PCs, or I buy certified refurbished systems from eBay, so I usually don’t pay the Windows tax(or its baked in).
But definitely a good option to get something for cheaper, I do wish more systems had a Linux or no OS option.
And even if I plan to use Windows on a system, I usually re-install Windows anyway. Can’t be too careful with what has already been installed on something.
And to clarify, it’s pretty much only Ubuntu that is the Linux option with the standard SI’s. And I’m pretty sure it’s standard Ubuntu with gnome, not Kubuntu or being able to select a different DE, etc.
So it’s an option…but not something I’d seek out from Dell or HP specifically.
I also had the same experience with Mint having outdated packages. And at that time I was a Linux noob so I figured I’d just wait until Mint updated their shit.
Well days turned into weeks and then about 3 months later, still with no updates from Mint, I jumped ship to Fedora. Which Fedora was nice but then I hopped to Kubuntu and now I’m on CachyOS.
I see all of this Mint hype and while I do love Cinnamon; I would never put Mint on my own devices going forward. It’s definitely a distro I would put on my mom’s laptop or a grandparent’s device. But their release schedule is abhorrent.
Just looked, I guess USA servers only include 1TB of bandwidth, EU gets 20TB included.
Absolutely wild lol.
Ah I’ll have to look into this then…gotta find a VPS that will hopefully have a Los Angeles location and have decent traffic bandwidth.
Honestly never thought to use a VPS like that before. We’ve all seen using a VPS as a VPN exit node. Do you run into quota limits on the VPS or Tailscale side? Too many requests/data?
I’m gonna have to look into this for fun lol
Could you explain your setup a bit more? Because my understanding is:
Let’s say you have a blog website in your homelab. To access the blog you have to: you go to your VPS’s hostname/IP, from there the VPS forwards your request over tailscale to your homelab which then responds with your blog website?
If that’s the case, why even have the VPS and instead just use tailscale to access your homelab directly?
Unless you intend to have the VPS be a load balancer in some way? Or a filter/firewall? Or you can’t do a static IP for your homelab but you want it to be publicly accessible?
Just trying to understand why you’re doing it this way. I love seeing all the crazy ways people can set things up like this lol
Kind of, TrueNAS has “CORE” which is FreeBSD and “SCALE” which is Linux.
If you’re on CORE 13.X you can actually side-grade over to SCALE.
CORE is in maintenance only and SCALE is the path forward. So you can still get some updates on CORE I think, but everyone should be switching over to SCALE or using SCALE from here on out.
Proxmox recommends to not install anything directly on the proxmox host/baremetal.
Personally I would set this up as:
Proxmox installed on whatever single disk or raid 1 array.
Create a TrueNAS(or whatever OS you want) VM inside Proxmox. Mount the rest of the drives directly to the TrueNAS VM via Proxmox’s interface.
In the TrueNAS VM take the drives that were mounted directly to it and setup your array and pool(s) to your preference.
Now, I’d say you have two paths from this point:
OR
Either option has pros and cons. Doing everything inside TrueNAS will be a bit more simple, but you do complicate your TrueNAS setup and you’re at the mercy of how TrueNAS manages VMs(backups, restores, etc.). On the reverse with Proxmox, setting up the vmbridge and doing the network mounts is more work initially, but keeping the arr stack in a Proxmox VM/container lets you do direct snapshots and backups of the arr stack, and if you ever need to rebuild it or change it to another arr style set of tools then you can blow away the Proxmox VM and start fresh and resetup the network mounts.
Or don’t do any of the above and just install TrueNAS on the box directly as the baremetal OS and do everything inside TrueNAS.
0 bytes free is a broken environment. So that requires a fix during moratorium IMO.
Mint 21 still has support until 2027, so not exactly needed…but I get it when you only see certain family members during specific times of the year.
I’m just saying doing a full migration from ESXI to Proxmox and having to backup all VMs and import them or recreate and doing this during the holidays…I’d rather just sit on the couch and enjoy family time than be stuck in my garage or glued to my laptop.
Upgrading a family member’s laptop while shooting the shit with everyone while drinking a beer or something is just fine. Don’t need 100% focus, you’re good there man.
At work we have a nearly 2 week moratorium that covers Christmas and New Years. We do zero changes unless something breaks on its own. So everyone can take time off without worrying too much.
So I do the same for my homelab. I’ll spin up new stuff for fun(new docker containers to try out new apps), but I don’t touch my stable stuff. No reboots, no updates, no image pulls, nothing.
Conflating 1% of Linux users also being 1% of revenue is pretty asinine lol
The regular average joe isn’t going to switch on their own. The average person sees Windows and MacBook as their two options for a laptop.
Also, Linux isn’t a replacement for Windows. It’s its own thing, with its own issues but also advantages.
And most young people don’t have their own computers growing up anymore, it’s all phones and tablets and in the USA apple has won that race.
Gnome is good if you want a Mac-lite interface and have zero plans on customizing it. Install more than 2 or 3 extensions and your DE breaks.
Or just install any other DE and have a working distro again.
Kubuntu is fine. I’ve been running that without issues for months now.
Bazzite is good too. But do push for the KDE version.
I’m as much of a nerd as the next guy, but hanging out with my HOA president? Probably the second to last thing I would ever want to do on this planet, and the last being living in a HOA.
No one is going to be interested in…whatever you’re trying to setup. Sorry buddy
I would appreciate some type of custom attributes, but the notes section works fine as-is, so definitely not a huge “need” IMO.
I have used Monica/other CRMs in the past, but they all felt a bit too corporate or “sales” driven like you said in your OP.
I spun up a quick docker instance in my test environment and I’m using it right now, it’s been quite solid! I do have some confusion with how relationships get applied(from/to in regards to child/parent), but I believe I just need to use it a bit more to get used to the “flow” of how it is supposed to work.
My biggest want/need is being able to select multiple people at once to add to another person, so I guess a “bulk” edit or multi-select. Like adding 10 “child” to one “parent” at once if all of the children have already been created. Or if some logic can be applied where if one parent(dad) has three children, then you add a spouse(mom) to dad, then nametag can auto-add or offer to bulk edit the three children to add the new spouse(mom) as a parent too? Just quicker/better/fluid workflow.
Again, the site as-is is already solid. Just some fine-tuning IMO.
