Oh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn’t code something like this to save my life.

I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.

This. My first serious network upgrade was splitting out the router/firewall, Wifi, and switching to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite, 8 port Netgear managed switch, and a Ubiquiti AP Pro.

It ended up being around the price of a night hawk, but I had way better control over the firewall/NAT rules and it made future upgrades less painful as I could just target the switching vs WiFi for a change.

As a side note, nearly all wifi routers that I’ve come across can act as just a access point. My current setup is using the Orbi mesh wifi system to get a decent signal to my attic bedroom.

I wish someone would actually drop the full leak somewhere. It would be interesting to read this myself.

Here’s a recommendations for what I use in my three node Proxmox homelab:

TCNEWCL KVM Switch 4 Port, HDMI KVM Switcher https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089ZW5PW5

It would give you some room to grow, supports HDMI for video, and comes with a fancy remote clicker to swap between PCs. I have a mech keyboard plugged in along with a mouse (although the mouse isn’t super useful for my applications.

Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an ansible.builtin.get_url to download the compose file before doing the rest.

I think that mitigation requires two things for it to work.

1. You need to use a a Type 2 hypervisor (like Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion).
2. That VM needs to be configured in NAT mode.

The two primary ways you can configure a network for a local virtual machine are NAT and Bridged.

Bridged mode places your VM effectively on the same network as your host OS, meaning that any DHCP server that exists on your network (rogue or otherwise) will give your virtual machine and IP.

In NAT mode, the virtualization platform itself includes a DHCP server to dole out IPs, and handle the routing between your virtual machine and your host OS’s network.

The thought process is that if you trust your laptop, the DHCP address handed out for NAT mode will not have the VPN breaking DHCP option and your VPN inside the VM will not have it’s route table screwed with.

Oh you sweet summer child. There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I’ll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.

At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.

Then when the migration to self-driving semis is complete and that profit levels out, shareholders will be pissed that the profits don’t continue to rise - so prices will rise again.

Adding to the Nazi comment - substack is basically a long form blog format, very similar (AFAICT) to Medium.

It’s anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don’t discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there’s often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.

It’s definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.

I use skyline in our environment and man, that log collection is crutch for getting tickets updated. Oh, you need the logs? Request what you need and I’ll approve it - or I can just click a few buttons and upload the logs when I create the ticket.

Who knew such a bad movie would be such a good cautionary tale?

Oh, in that case you have a much easier job ahead of you, haha.

All of our Linux servers are running Ubuntu, except the FreeIPA system that runs a Redhat derivative.

Are you looking for a Windows, server, replacement or desktop replacement? Your experience will differ depending on which one you’re trying to replace.

For instance, if you’re trying to replace Windows active directory services with a single Linux server, might have a bad time. I’m in the process of migrating from AD to FreeIPA, PowerDNS, and isc-dhcp (or something similar for DHCP).

Holy shit, 35 tmux windows?! That’s insane.

True, but you can (for now) buy a smart TV and never hook it up to the Internet/use the smart functions.

I have a little Linux micropc hanging off my “smart” LG TV - the TV is effectively a 52" monitor.

Ahh that did it. Well, more accurately it led me to the problem - I had installed fdroid on a now deleted alternate profile. Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

Cheers!

Hrm, I can’t find that on my FDroid install. Anyone else having that same issue?

How are we supposed to opt out? By deleting our accounts?

At this point virtualization is legacy technology.

Man, I’d love to believe that - and please Lemmy, prove me wrong, but virtualization, especially commercial products like VMware have one huge advantage over things like kubernetes - it’s effectively plug and play and has full support available.

1. Boot off this esxi iso
2. Deploy this VCSA OVA
3. Have vCenter auto config VSAN
4. Deploy fully ha/Drs managed VMs

I would kill for a similar experience with kubes - something that I cannot for the life of me get to work in my homelab given the myriad of walkthrough in various states of accuracy.

I’m assuming that just hopping on a VPN that exits in Europe is not enough to do this right? You probably have to do a fresh install and say that your location is in the EU?
