Recently moved and had my server offline for ~a month. I had to upload 9k points when it came online and worked without a hitch.

This reminds me of the movie Catch Me If You Can.

Aren’t they going to shutdown their DNS and use someone’s else’s?

It’s almost like brewing coffee before having your first coffee.

To pour oil on the fire (since you said you already decided on an OS), a lot of people recommend Linux Mint as a goto OS when moving from Windows, supposed to be the most similar experience.

That’s not surprising given their rules, especially rule 3.

But you could never write code like this

Create webserver that responds with HTTP 418 I'm a teapot

and have it compile it to anything. You still had to think of the logic and design.

Fast fashion would be the other end of an extreme. Another way is for stores to have one of each size, you try the one you want and place an order. The store delivers in batches and enough orders are placed.

100% agreed. My teacher said that he taught us tools, how they worked and how to use them, in order for us to apply them in new ways. Even with a calculator you have to understand the underlaying logic to actually do something. Don’t know basic mathematics? Good luck using a calculator.

This is why I did for my homelab. I had an Dell OptiPlex 3020 (or something in the 3000 series), took everything except the motherboard and PSU (becuase those were Dells own form factor) and bought those new. A the sole user of what is on my server a consumer i5 is enough, even streaming with Jellyfin works without problems.

It seems that using multiple remotes is also possible. So instead of syncing two repos, push to both at once.

git remote set-url origin --push --add user1@repo1
git remote set-url origin --push --add user2@repo2
git remote -v

I follow a guide for authelia and caddy, making it so that I can put authelia infront of anything without it the service behind supporting it. Still have to authenticate on the service behind but that is a small inconvenience.

I wonder what would have happened if you had blocked them. One of life’s mysteries.

Can’t you block them in Kivra and get it by mail instead?

And I live in France, with its insane bureaucracy.

Lol I can relate. My mother lost her passport when we were in France (she is from France), her handbag was stolen. It was a week of going to different places, trying to get them to tell you which paper to use and from where to get it, and then to actually get the paper with the correct information.

Hmm, I wonder if I even need a dashboard (other than for fun). Perhaps I should do as you say and first look at what I really need to make sure is working (backups) and then monitor that and set up alerts for it to begin with. Thanks for the insight!

*blocked* /s

I use Caddy with Authelia and Caddy MIB. Anything that I need access to is exposed via reverse proxy with Authelia infront of it. That sometimes mean I have to login twice. Caddy MIB makes it so repeat offenders are blocked for longer and longer. Prevents brute forcing stuff like Jellyfin.

I am considering using Tailscale (or Headscale) because I could combine that with Mullvad VPN and still have my internal DNS. But I only have one server and I have hairpin NAT configured so I just enter my domain name inside and outside of my LAN and it just works^tm. I also considered using Traefik but Caddy just just works^tm. Only problem I had was with Dawarish needing brotli encryption, I had to create my own docker image (and then I automated keeping it up to date with Woodpecker CI and Renovate).

All in all, I like the reverse proxy route.

Good or bad?
