I posted on Facebook about some of my tech issues and setting up my new fileserver and I got a lot of confusion from my followers as to what I was talking about. Can you tell I rarely post tech stuff to there? #computernerd#tech#linux#ubuntu#it#itsupport#homelab
Starting the migration of my Command & Control host to Ubuntu now. In a couple of hours, I will still have a homelab - the only question is whether I still have administrative access to anything. 😅
If you happen to be heading up your local misty mountain to sacrifice a couple HDDs to placate the gods, say a "sudo" for me as well, will you? 😉
Successfully installed netdata on my proxmox homelab host for monitoring. Thought I wouldnt need monitoring with notifications but yesterday I looked at the host stats and the cpu usage spiked a few days ago... Took me a while to figure out but the issue was one vm ran out of disk space because of influxdb...
Now I get a notification via telegram if something is wrong - Nice!
I'm running #pihole in recursive #DNS mode and having everything in my home and my public /29 use it as the main DNS server.
The good things? Ad/tracker blocking on things that don't have built in ad/tracker blocking like certain phone apps, less spam (I host my main mail server locally), reduced monitoring from my Internet provider.
The bad things? Single point of failure. If pihole is down, everything else is as well.
My @nlnetlabs#unbound#docker image has been updated to #OpenSSL 3.1.1 including my build bases which got updated to #Alpine 3.18.0. The images version reads 1.17.1-5.
A story:
Yesterday evening I (re)started a project to clean up the DNS records in all my domains.
For a few reasons, my DNS setup is a bit complex, with 'leaf' DNS entries being CNAMEs referencing service pivot points.
I'll detail that more later.
But in doing so I realized my "big spreadsheet of domains" is a bit out of date. So not only do I need to update that, but I really do want to at least put landing pages on some of them. [1/5]
One thing leads to another and now I have a much nicer VM template & deploy setup but still no new web server and now I am remembering I never actually cleaned up the domain spreadsheet.
Friendly PSA… don’t reauth your expiring tailnet while on vacation unless you’ve tested a regular ssh connection first… very nearly locked myself out there. Only managed to sneak in by connecting to cockpit tunneling through another ssh host.
Trying to get some sort of centralized management of users.. On the recommendation of some, I chose FreeIPA.. Nothing short of a pain in the ass 😜 getting it installed on my LXD cluster!! I'm sure it has something todo with me not knowing WTF i'm doing..
I'm not sure if this Sysracks rack shipped without some of the hardware or if I just misplaced it in the insanity of the move, but at least I can use it as a four-post with side walls!
Is themes common? Is there a better basic rack I could've gone with?
Any #Toronto area #homelab folks have any experience with #BellFibe ? Is it CGNAT? Static IP? How are the actual speeds? Any problems hosting your servers?

Cette semaine j'ai flashé la mémoire d'une carte RAID pour la transformer en HBA (en "mode IT"). Je montre ça dans une petite vidéo HomeLab. Et la vidéo est ici youtu.be/0hNz4uppI2g
N'hésitez pas à la partager à ceux que ça peut intéresser !!
What a week! I found this awesome open source software that let's me connect and stream almost ANY camera to ANY Smart Home Hub. No more vendor lock! It's called Scrypted and it's awesome!
Hey! I'm Kat! #trans#poly#pan I'm a software engineer by day, big fuckin nerd by night. I spend most of my time either working on my #homelab, or playing games. I love playing #ttrpgs, cozy games, strategy games, and various MMOs.
Here to make friends, and just be a queer nerd.
Note: I can be all sorts of flirty, and will be all flirty as a joke (unless you reciprocate)
Small update on my custom #NAS project; Last week I officially factory reset the #Synology and have put it up for sale. Such a good feeling to finally be getting rid of that thing.
Last week I also got the #FractalDesign#PC case I had been waiting on a restock for, and I have transplanted the NAS over. Some final (SATA power) cables are expected to come in today so I can install the drives I used to have in the Synology. We're getting there!
Friends. It seems that in my new place, the ISP has all incoming ports blocked. This blows for several reasons, but they centralize on the fact that I self-host several services.
So what are my options? What are the most user-friendly and privacy-respecting ways to punch a hole and keep sharing my stuff with the WAN?
Wiosenny, gruntowny upgrade domowego serwera (czy tam homelaba) zakończony.
Totalna przesiadka z HP 800 Mini (który niedawno tutaj sprzedawałem) na nieco większe minipc asrock Deskmini X300 z procesorem AMD Ryzen 7 5700G. Obudow Asrocka jest o tyle ciekawa, że pozwala zainstalować dwa dyski NVMe (niestety, brak raida1 hw dla nvme) oraz dwa dyski 2,5". Te dwa ostatnie sloty wykorzystałem na instalację dwóch dysków SATA 2,5" 2 TB, które działają w raid1
My name is JC. I'm a former tech #journalist, having run the phones vertical for Tom's Guide for over two years. I'm still a writer, just not in a public-facing position.
I remember a presentation that John Strand at Black Hills Information Security did that outlined a 5 year plan to get into cybersecurity. It changed my life! One of the things that stuck with me was his story about Henry Rollins and building your own community. That's why I started SOCpupIT (pronounced sock puppet) so I could find my community.
It's the 3rd weekend of our Cyversity weekend get together for folks who are busy during the work week or are having trouble making connections to folks also starting out in #cybersecurity. We're always looking to meet and help out folks new to cybersecurity so stop on by our Discord server! We meet 9:00am PST/PDT every Saturday!
Every week we try to look over an entry level job posting and workshop how we can tailor our resumes to match watch companies are looking for.
We also have a Tech Topic portion where we present anything that's interesting to us in cybersecurity. I've been doing a lot of Linux based stuff because that's my jam.
Finally, we have a Help Desk portion for for who are having any trouble setting things up in their #homelab, need advice on what to do to get started, next projects, and other things they need help with.
But seriously: Last one for the Homelab, designated as a Ceph node. It's an Intel 12100T, the 35W TDP variant, on a board with 2.5 GB NIC. The case will arrive tomorrow. Once it is set up and deployed, I will finally be through with HW changes for the homelab.
