N0x0n,

Same here 👋 still i’m a bit sad I had to move on from VLC… It was always one of the first software I would install on my setup… But that was mostly on windows.

On linux/macos, MVP seems to work way better. I’m very thankfull for all these years of service, but everything has an end and like ICQ ended recently, VLC will probably die off in a few years…

Except if they make a come back? Who knows !

Not OP, but thanks for the write up !

Regarding macvlan’s with docker, I tried to use them in the past and while I liked the idea of having every container on it’s own mac /ip address in the home network space, I couldn’t get the host to communicate directly with them.

Everyone on the LAN could talk to my containers, except the host itself. IIRC there was/is some tricky part where you have to change the default route and create new iptables to make it work that way, but It seemed rather hacky and not secure at all.

Now that I’m a bit more experienced with docker and all, do you know if this is possible or still one of the downside of macvlan’s?

Edit: reference. I see he updated his post in 2023, maybe worth a new shot !!

N0x0n,

Linkding is great ! I love it ! With the new local copy as html file thats a banger !!

Except one thing I hate about it… It can get really messy quickly If you don’t overthink your tags… This can get time consuming in the long run !

N0x0n,

Hey :) would you kindly share your tagging methodology? It’s the second time I nuke my linkding docker istance, because everytime it gets so messy that I lose sight of my bookmarks ://

Thank you 👐

N0x0n,

That’s a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.

Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).

What’s cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.

Do you have a more complicated shell history scheme than the distro default?

I’ve used distrobox more and more and am at the point where I need to start saving and integrating history differently. Or like, when I’m installing and building something complicated, I need to start saving that specific session’s history. I am curious what others might be doing and looking for simple advice and ideas.

N0x0n, (edited )

Genuine question, I see alot of people concerned by losing their shell history, any specific reason why?

I mean I keep mine to default and auto-delete every shell history after logout :/ And I never seemed bothered, I never go up more than 10 lines anyway… Whats the point/use case of keeping a whole shell history over time?

Is it safe to open a forgejo git ssh port in my router?

Hello all! Yesterday I started hosting forgejo, and in order to clone repos outside my home network through ssh://, I seem to need to open a port for it in my router. Is that safe to do? I can’t use a vpn because I am sharing this with a friend. Here’s a sample docker compose file:...

N0x0n,

Opening ports on your router is never safe ! There’re alot of bots trying to bruteforce opening ports on the web (specially ssh port 22)

With SSH I would disable the password authentication a only used key based authentication. Also disable root access. (Don’t know how it works with forgero though)

I would recommend something like wireguard, you still need to open a port on your router, but as long as they don’t have your private key, they can’t bruteforce it. (You can even share the wireguard tunnel with your friend :))

Also use a reverse proxy with your docker containers.

There are a lot of things you could do to secure everything, but If you relatively new to selfhosting, there’s a steep learning curve and a lot of time needed to properly secure everthing up. You could be safe by doing nothing for a few months but as soon as someone got into your system, you’re fucked !

But don’t discourage yourself, selfhosting is fun !

N0x0n,

You’re right, but only if you are an experienced IT guy in enteprise environnement. Most users (myself included) on Lemmy do not have the necessary skills/hardware to properly configure and protect their networking system, thats way I consider something like wireguard way more secure than opening an SSH port.

Sure SSH key based configuration is also doing a great job but there is way more error prone configuration with an SSH connection than a wireguard tunnel.

N0x0n,

Never got into TF2 was more a day of defeat guy (what a banger !!). But still doing my part !

I deleted my Google account…

… And damm it feels good! Before starting this step, I had to migrate to a better browser that respects privacy (Brave, because🖕Firefox, I mean Mozilla at this point doesn’t even want you to be safe on the web anymore!) And a better “Google-style” ecosystem (Proton is the best they have an email service, a calendar, a...

N0x0n,

More importantly though, Mozilla has a female chairwoman. A lot of tech savvy people would rather stick with Brave, whose CEO they can relate to.

Woaw… If that’s a thing, I really feel sorry for them :/

N0x0n,

Is this because I am using a free tier VPN? so it’s not functioning properly etc…

Nope ! I use the free tier on all my devices and nothing is leaked based on all tests I did.

If you are on linux you need to check your /etc/resolv.conf and see if your home’s router/ISP DNS is in there.

Check also if networkManager hasn’t your ISP’s dns configured.

There are other locations where your home router’s DNS could be hidden on linux after a DHCP configuration.

If it’s on windows :/ sorry can’t help there.

N0x0n,

That’s right !!! That was just a starting point for OP if he was on Linux and lacking that info I gave him just some pointer where to look at.

Anyway, most of the time it gets overwritten from other configuration files, nothing harmful. He could even have resolvconf installed on his system, who knows.

N0x0n,

Long time I haven’t booted into windows, so can’t help there.

But rest assured that the free tier hides your real IP the same way as the paied tier.
