Does anyone know good methods for running a routing table on something like an ESP32?
Let me guess.....you need MOAR?
>>106519225>ESP32Dude, you want a router running at 160MHz?
What's the cheapest way to set up a 10G home network?I mounted a cat6 ethernet cable between different parts of the house but then found out every piece of hardware uses sfp for these speeds
>>106520152Not every piece. There's plenty of 10GT switches around, they are just quite expensive
>>106520152Theft
Has anyone got a robot vacuum running Valetudo? I'm thinking of getting the Dreame L40 Ultra but only the L40s is available in Australia so I'm not sure if it'll support it
How do people keep track of all the different configurations that pile up over time?I'm closing in on 70 VMs across 8 hosts and a few VMs require special configurations in terms of routing or just little notes to remember months or years down the line why you did something and how you did it.Text files become unmanageable at this scale, GLPI and Netbox both seem pretty fucking excessive but I want something 100% local and easy to backup. Is running your own wiki worth it? What are people here using?
does renting one of the cheapest tld get me blacklisted on all major email providers? i plan to selfhost my email server along with my website and other services.
>>106521809The TLD doesn't matter, you're most likely going to be blacklisted no matter what you do.
i was shitposting on /v/ >>>/v/720115591 about how i could set up a dropsite for devs who want to leak abandoned builds/code without actually intending to do it - but now i'm wondering if i should just do something because i can roughly see how it would worki would have a secure ftp or even just use an API on s3 or google cloud but encrypt all uploads with a keyi would also only give out one-time upload links to people who contacted me on a proton mail or somethingyou guys have any ideas?
>>106521923any way of getting whitelisted if that happens?
Is it possible just using dns rewrites and nginx proxy manager to make one host name resolve to two different IPs based on either where the request originates or if the first ip is not available? Basically I want to make it so I can access my truenas and apps via something like jellyfin.truenas.lan on my lan but also be able to access it via the same address via tailscale when I'm not at my house. I can already do one or the other pretty easily, and I could just always go through my tailnet on lan, but I'd rather not unnecessarily route everything through the internet, especially streaming and large data transfers.
>>106519820>>How is a construction team better than a hammer?Why are you pretending you can't just run it in a loop? Hell, it'd probably be faster than ansible because the tasks would run in parallel instead of waiting for stragglers.
>>106522005Yes, but it's genuinely not worth the time investment. Check out MXRoute
>>106522005As the other anon said possible yes but not really worth the effort. Look into something like MXRoute or another service or pay to use your own domain with something like gmail, proton, tuta, etc. At least that way sending mail will work consistently. Receiving mail with a VPS based email server is fine obviously, its sending and not getting dropped or spam filtered that's the issue. Mail is basically a cartel.t. selfhosting two email servers that will soon be retired because it isn't worth the effort vs the cost of a paid option
>>106522230before you retire those services I want you to send me an emailayasequart@proton.me
>>106521937https://www.nytimes.com/tipsscroll down to securedrop
>>106522649I know, most media sites have something like that, that's what gave me the idea.Probably should base it on Tor tb.h though that's not something I have dabbled with much.
>>106522649>>106522936I meant hosting it using Tor as the backend before someone gives me shit about how Tor isn't a cloud service or whatever.
>>106522945actually not even the backend now that I think about it, more the network obfuscation layer
>>106521923>>106522230NTA, but does having a proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration make any difference? Assuming you really aren't spamming, of course.
How the fuck can i bypass the lack of a static ipv4, ipv6 and ddns (since my isp has a cgnat in place)?
>>106523125>cgnatYou're fucked.
>>106521809in my experience you need>unabused ip>spf>dkim>dmarc>1 year old domain>landing page for the domain on google search consoleusing this I have a .com, .org, and .xyz that are fine although .xyz sometimes has problems if the receiver has a more aggressive spam filter.
>>106523125pay for a business connection?
>>106523212>>unabused ipThis and the whole block needs to stay clean. You could get blacklisted if someone else on your IP block spams. It's so fucking stupid.
>>106523125VPS + reverse proxy + p2p vpn tunnel.
>>106523048Yes, you will score highly on google's evaluation of your email server and then they will still send it directly to spam because you don't have any reputation How do you get reputation? who knows.
>>106518956/hsg/, i need your help. i have a 8u 10 inch mini rack and about 3.5u left to fit a nas. i'm on a tight power and money budget (ups is only 300w) and can't decide which option to go with. i already have 1 4tb drive so i plan on getting another drive and doing a raid 1 setup1. mini lenovo pc with jbod>dirt cheap>already have the PC>have to rely on hardware raid(?) over usb>dont trust the shitty enclosure to not fail2. terramaster nas>more expensive>chinese spyware firmware (can i just flash truenas/OMV on it?)3. mini itx PC>most expensive>more power for transcoding>might consume too much poweri suppose could also put a pcie to sata adapter in the mini lenovo PC but I don't know how I would then power the drive.
you guys ever go way overboard in your home server purchases and months down the line wonder what the hell you were thinking
So I bought a NAS and a 12TB driveI want to buy another 12TB to pair it with of course. Trouble is, finding a 12tb drive new from a non shit seller seems like a very difficult task. Do I drop my requirements and go for an 8TB and lose the 4tb, or is that stupid to do and I should just pay the extra £50-£60 and get the added 4Tb?I'm guessing 8tb might be quieter too.
>>106523863what did you build anon?
>>106523863Nah so far overspecing has worked out in my favour. I've grown into every system and switch/router I bought and even had to update some despite being ridiculously overspeced at the time because I actually needed more RAM.
>>106523125Not sure what this guy is referring to because he didn't give any specifics>>106523316but he's shared some useful concepts.To access your home server from outside,>get a static ipv4 vps (all of them have this). I use Vultr (don't let the Redditors make you afraid of them)>put wireguard on it>connect your home wire guard client (client 1) to the wiregaurd server on the vps>at the cafe, connect your laptop/phone to the VPS via wire guard (client 2)>because wg is bidirectional, you can forward all client2 traffic to client1>do that via iptables (wg2 -> wg1 interfaces) or via ssh once connected to the wg server>for ssh, wireguard typically has lan ips like 10.x.x.x e.g. 10.66.66.2
>>106519253At least two drives, yes.
maybe belongs on /sqt/, but have any of you negotiated to buy a domain? any tips to keep the final cost down but keep the owner from bailing?isnt some hot domain, its just some stupid shit that only im interested in. sold for a few hundred years ago but the guy wants a couple grand to sell and isnt budging much.
>>106524215My advice would be to move on and get a different domain. Let him rot with it.
>>106524356that was sort of the plan. figured id leave the negotiations open to see if hed panic and come back with something better, but who knows. its hard to justify some massive cost for the .com when literally every other tld is ten bucks or less.
>>106523863The way I see it my journey is over for hardwareMy systems are ridiculous but not in an overspending kind of way, it's actually kinda something you can buy 10 year old hardware for pennies of what it used to be and it still be overkill for the next 10 years.Unless I come across a load of fuck you money, everything here is in for the long haul. Even picked up a spare board as that is what's most likely going to give.
best way to daemonize containers and don't answer kubernetes I just need to fire one (1) container and make sure that if something happens it will be restarted, so for example the podman process can still be running but binary inside the container shat the bed -- I need it to restart automatically
>>106524467I tried this for my name. Some third party actually reselling it. they have no incentive to sell ever, renewing it costs nothing
>>106524536kubernetes.
>>106524536you can specify a health check in your container that runs periodically to query the status of whatever is happening in your container.
>>106524542yeah, that was my worry. figured if i didnt hear anything id try to reach out in a few weeks, but i feel like thatd just renew their resolve to overprice.squatters deserve death.
>>106521809>>106523212Serious question, why leave an open email instead of a contact form. The aggression of spam has grown too intense and I don't honestly remember the last good communication I did with emails. My oldest email is almost 30 years old and there is hardly anything worth keeping as no friend of mine uses emails anymore.I kinda want to self-host but at the same time I don't know if it's worth the pain.
>>106524536Quadlets, Incus, systemd-nspaw
>>106524928Pretty sure he wants to SEND email, not just receive it. Receiving is trivial.
>>106524962Yeah, yeah, again, I understand.But, again, it's too much of a hassle to keep it from being fucked up by the destination providers.
would the 1GB Raspberry Pi 4 B be enough to run SFTPGo as a read-only WebDAV server together with transmission-daemon torrenting onto a USB-attached NVMe SSD? I currently run SFTPGo on my PC, but it's inconvenient to have to keep the PC up whenever I want to watch some tranime on my tablet. (I did automate it somewhat, so that the PC won't go to sleep when I have an active session in SFTPGo but that's off topic)I already have an NVMe enclosure sitting there unused, and my PC's mobo only has two M.2 slots, occupied by 2 TB and 4 TB SSDs. So I'm thinking of building this poor man's NAS as cheaply as possible while keeping the energy usage low. Then I could put another 4 TB SSD in the PC, or even a 8 TB one.Or I guess I could skip the raspberry pi and attach the SSD enclosure to my Asus router and run SFTPGo from entware.
>>106525136More than enough.
>>106525169meaning I could go even cheaper? according to the spreadsheet in OP, the 4 B is the cheapest SBC with USB 3 (along with Pine64 Rock64 at the same price)
>>106524928Decentralisation and professional communications.The email cartel is gmail, ymail, outlook/live and icloud. The first step is getting out of their system.Emails are a form of professional communications between parties, if the conversation needs confidentiality then it can switch to PGP or (even better) Signal.
>>106525215You can torrent on anything. Even my dual core Atom 330 shitbox from 2008 can saturate 1Gbps, admittedly at high CPU.
>>106525350>Emails are a form of professional communications between parties,And Twitter is a PR platform rather than a social network, but nobody sees it that way either.
>>106524928business wise I do use a contact form but that just relays to my email masking it for first contact. if it's a legitimate inquiry I will need start a dialog through email.
