What a bunch of wankers you are

Oisteink ,

It’s a common insult in many languages - with a lot of theories about origins.
You can track medival usage of this all over Europe, but I have no knowledge about other continents.

Insults in general hold more power in honor-cultures. Your grandparents might have reacted the same way she did, while you might not feel the same.

Oisteink ,

I know of at lest Nordic languages, german languages, slavic languages, Urdu, Yiddish

Some are not literal translations, but have the same meening. Like silly as a goose - not stupid. Or just beeing refered to as a goose implying simplicity, stupidity or sillyness.

The word goose by itself has extensive use un english https://www.reginacoeli.com/blog/goose-idioms.html

They do look kinda akward

Oisteink ,

It can be done with guns or it can be done without. Can is the magic word here, and guns are optional.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....

Oisteink ,

Lol

Oisteink ,

All reverse proxies i have used do rudimentary DDoS protection: rate limiting. Enough to keep your local script kiddy at bay - but not advanced stuff.

You can protect your ssh instance with rate limiting too but you'll likely do this in the firewall and not the proxy.

Oisteink ,

A reverse proxy is used to expose services that don't run on exposed hosts.
It does not add security but it keeps you from adding attack vectors.

They usually provide load balancing too, also not a security feature.

Edit: in other words what he’s saying is true and equal to “raid isn't baclup”

Oisteink ,

No - ssh is very easy to secure, while an exposed web-service is very hard to secure.
Theres no difference in the security of ssh without password and for example WireGuard.

Oisteink ,

Stick to strong keys and keep it on 22 for ease of use

Oisteink ,

IMO venturing out in the unknown using fringe case hardware/software is a hobby by itself. It’s my 2nd hobby besides self hosting. Being more about experimenting than stability and ease of use, it’s not compatible with self hosting so I keep them separate

Oisteink ,

They claimed to use the same protections as others. Is there a more accurate article about how their lending was faulty?

Oisteink ,

It’s a great way to remind people of the disaster ahead, and force people to mention it. Even if in a bad tone, they still have to remind themselves that it exists .

Oisteink ,

No - they haven’t

Oisteink ,

I still dont understand broadcom’s move except for short term profits.
All the kids used to use it, and now they’re on proxmox.

I work in public sector and we’re transitioning away from VMware now, as the people we recruit know proxmox and not VMware.

Just like adobe lets the kids get away with pirating - as that builds following - VMware was giving away single-seat.

Oisteink ,

They are - and they’re e-ink based so power lasts a long time. I’ve not been to a store that don’t have them in many years.

They’re great - always showing the correct price/ amount, and it’s less hassle for the store to change.

As long as you have a free market and not a coordinated one it will work out great for you guys too

Oisteink ,

Aren’t they already in use by some stores? M

Maybe most of this is just circus to keep you worried?

The thing I don’t like about them is the BT tracking/detection. Not seen any system with the capability to track individuals, but it will show heat maps of where people spend time and clump up. This comes “free” as it’s usually zigbee or similar radios that are used, and these support BT

Oisteink ,

Yeah - as moderation don’t work here only option is to block posters

Never buy .xyz

I just wanted to post this here because I want to help you all and hurt gen.xyz as much as possible. I had a .xyz domain through njal.la which I used to host jellyfin, homeassistant, and other basic things for friends and family. My domain recently became inaccessible without any notice. After a while of troubleshooting, I found...

Oisteink ,

That’s the main difference between lemmy and early reddit. Reddit had good info from knowledgeable people, and moderation. Here it seems most are 8 years old with 0 knowledge talking shite. Voting to “prove their point”. Like downvoting your reply.

Oisteink ,

I don’t care about internetpoints, and I’ve given up hopes for lemmy as a platform. There's too many subs compared to people, so people are smeared too thin out.

Reddit had soul back then. It was fresh, new, different. Lemmy is just a bleak copy of Reddit, missing quality content and people.

Oisteink ,

Lol

Oisteink ,

How many FOSS Linux firewalls are there?
Let’s see, we have iptables and there’s nftables.

Oisteink ,

You can also try running ve on Debian

Oisteink ,

There’s nothing wrong with posting the same post to several groups, as long as it’s a text post and not a link. I will also vote down or block people posting just a link

Oisteink ,

Linux is not always the answer, and free to install isn’t always cheap.

Oisteink ,

If you can - separate host and storage.
Run what ever hyper visor you like - Xcp-ng is also good.
Any nas is good

[solved] Nginx proxy server - strange behavior

Hello fellow selfhosters! I changed my server OS from fedora server to alma linux as I wanted a more stable base with less frequent updates for my docker containers, so I backed everything up and installed almalinux. It all went smoothly, and now all the containers seem to work as before except for nginx proxy manager: on...

Oisteink ,

As you can forward by ip but not by name it sounds like resolver issue.

Oisteink ,

On the host of the nginx rev proxy or in nginx config files.
Something seems to block the lookup from name to ip, as ip works you know the proxy works.
Check dns config and nginx config on that host

Oisteink ,

Could also be docker network-config.
Docker should by default use the hosts resolver config if there’s nothing in /etc/resolve.conf

You can also supply dns server on the docker command or in your compose file if you’re using compose.

As a last resort you can enter server and ip i the container’s /ets/host file if the ip is static. But that’s gone once you rebuild the image.

Or maybe there’s env on the container you use for dns

Oisteink ,

That’s not too easy methinks. You get kvm vm-s though gui/shell/api with proxmox, but no docker (they use lxc). Unless you set up a podman or similar inside it.

If you’re made of money there’s always https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/vsphere-with-tanzu.html

Other than that I’d say go with a xen (xcp-ng). Proxmox or esxi host, and spin up a vm as docker host.

I ditched docker in my latest setup, just running 2 machines in a proxmox cluster. I like lxc - as it’s got the footprint of docker and behaves like a vm

Oisteink ,

I think your best option would be a pi 4 compute for high speed bus. https://www.waveshare.com/cm4-nas-double-deck-c4a.htm

Oisteink ,

For zigbee there’s a list of what works with what integration - other than that I usually google the device I’m eyeing and see what issues ppl are having

Oisteink ,

No idea what you mean with that statement.
