  • While I don’t believe IaaS to be selfhosting I do believe self-managed services on IaaS should be allowed here. It’s the same software stack and requires the same skills so both parties gain from having the discussion in the same place.
    Not because I think selfhosting is a badge but because I think it makes sense to call things for what they are.

    But I’m an old grumpy who thinks ovo-lakto vegetarians shouldn’t have been allowed to steal the meaning of vegetarian or vegetarians steal it from vegans (and now we no longer got a word to describe old school vegans that makes it a lifestyle not a diet.)




  • I feel like this is what upvotes and down votes are for though. Expressing that you agree, like, or don’t like what someone is doing, or saying is not a mental disorder. I have been on the internet long enough, to know that starting a discussion about something, is almost never really worth it. I do feel that I should be able to join in on a general sentiment of approve or disapprove on a platform like this.

    This is something where everyone has their own personal idea of what the votes are for. I was taught to think of the votes as relevant (on topic)/irrelevant (off topic) when I first encountered the system.




  • I mostly solve this by upvoting what I like and ignoring the downvote option, reserving it for advertisement bots and spam.
    I think that having the voting record hidden in the client UI makes more harm than good to be honest and would’ve preferred if the devs changed their mind on tricking end users that voting is anonymous.

    The federated design of fediverse means that upvotes and downvotes must sync between instances and as such they’re not hidden or anonymous in any real sense. Anyone with a fediverse instance can see the votes.

    lemvotes.org democratise this by allowing everyone, not just techies with their own instance, to see the votes.

    One should know that lemvotes.org isn’t a perfect source of truth though, when I lefthand scroll I sometimes fat finger a downvote that I remove again. The latest downvote in my record is one of those.

    https://lemvotes.org/ state I downvoted a post:

    https://feddit.uk/ sees 75 upvotes:

    https://sopuli.xyz/ sees 75 upvotes and I clearly have not voted:


  • While splitting Compute and Storage is nice I think the main takeaway should be having your opnsense/router on it’s own physical hardware.
    Having your storage separated won’t stop a Jellyfin interruption if you reboot your compute.

    For a NAS solution the cheap way would be a used desktop with at least 4 SATA ports, a Linux distro you’re used to and Cockpit installed.



  • Ah yeah - always a good idea to verify support on the motherboard. I think AMD mbs are usually better on the bifurcation front than Intel ones.
    The Startech card I linked is backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe cards, they mention that they’ve tested with Samsung 970 EVO for example, so you can still fill it up with older, cooler M.2 cards even if it supports PCIe 4.0.



  • When nslookup google.com from a laptop on this LAN, it returns Server: 10.2.0.1 Address: 10.2.0.1#53

    nonauthoritative answer: google.com with ip information repeated.

    I don’t under stand this return as it’s an ip outside my lan net and dhcp provisioning.

    I’m unclear on what you’re confused about regarding the above quote. Here comes an explanation of nslookup.
    The command is nslookup <domain> <dns-server> and if dns-server is empty it uses your default. F.e.:

    ***@fedoragaming:~$ nslookup www.google.com 8.8.8.8

    The response starts by telling you which <dns-server> it used for the lookup and which address including port was used:

    Server: 8.8.8.8
    Address: 8.8.8.8#53

    It then gives you the answer on where to find the <domain>, once for ipv4 and once for ipv6:

    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: www.google.com
    Address: 142.251.142.228
    Name: www.google.com
    Address: 2a00:1450:400f:807::2004

    edit: I think I understand your question a bit better now. To check which dns-server you’re using do a “cat /etc/resolve.conf”
    If you run a distro with systemd then use the command “resolvectl status”
