I’ve been doing things the wrong way for a long time and now it’s time to pass my incompetence onto others.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

cablepick,

:wq!

cablepick,

Is he ok?

cablepick,

From google images it looks like this PSU has an IEC C20 male connector on it meaning you would need an IEC C19 end on your cable. C19/20 is a higher amperage version of C13/14 which is what could be considered standard on a normal consumer PSU. Google C19 to whatever plug your 220v outlet needs and you should find the appropriate cable.

cablepick,

I’ve found the solution to this problem is to not have friends.

cablepick,

Scroll down to do a complete reload doesnt work on my iphone but other than that it’s great.

cablepick,

I tested images with the default setup for pict-rs and it removed all exit data. Having said that you should test the instance your using with sample pictures and check for yourself. It’s possible to disable that feature if an operator really wants it on.

cablepick,

Check that your server time is synced to an NTP server and accurate. Federation requires the correct time.

cablepick,

I think that’s the websocket connection that they are working on removing in the next version. Should make the loading issues on mobile go away.

cablepick,

It’s tough because you don’t want them to be technically inept in this day and age. There is also peer pressure amongst friends and a certain social status that for better or worse matters to them.

It’s a balance between unrestricted access and a reasonable amount. We keep them busy enough that it’s never a question. They really only come out on long car rides and trips. We don’t use them in the home at all.

Very rarely at a restaurant, only when it’s large family affair at a place we won’t normally go. I used to judge people throwing screens in front of kids at restaurants but let me tell you it’s better than chasing them around. They get a treat, the screen, for behaving and I get to enjoy a nice meal.

cablepick,

I’ve never paid Reddit a dime but I’m going to signup for at least whatever gold costs. Fuck spez.

cablepick,

It won’t work well. Other instances make assumptions about paths as it’s standardized. For example they don’t store the full pictrs path, just the ID. It’s assumed the path is /pictrs/image. You would have to set 301 redirects. Other instances may link directly to your root uri when making links back to you. The api requests are also likely going to your root uri.

The front end can do whatever you want. Just change the paths typescript files before you compile as those also use root urls.

I have my instance setup to use a CDN and separate URL for all static content including pictrs. I have a script that modifies the front end while compiling to accomplish this. I use 301 redirects to fix all the assumed paths and requests from other instances.

What's your "base" stack of choice?

How do you set up a server? Do you do any automation or do you just open up an SSH session and YOLO? Any containers? Is docker-compose enough for you or are you one of those unicorns who had no issues whatsoever with rootless Podman? Do you use any premade scripts or do you hand craft it all? What distro are you building on top...

cablepick,

Proxmox and shell scripts. I have everything automated from base install to updates.

All the VMs are Debian which install with a custom seed file. Each VM has a config script that will completely setup all users, ip tables, software, mounts, etc. SSL certs are updated on one machine with acme.sh and then pushed out as necessary.

One of these days I’ll get into docker but half the fun is making it all work. I need some time to properly set it up and learn how to configure it securely.

"outsource" email from my self hosted shenanigans

Hello friends, I am considering using some of my domains for email in addition to my self hosted stuff and i cannot stress enough how much i do not want to host and run my own email service. My objective is to find a service that i can hook up with Gmail, so i think it'd have to do mail forwarding and submission/SMTP for sending...

cablepick,

I picked up a black friday deal from mxroute for $15/year. Unlimited domains and 300 email/hour. I have it setup as the relay for my internal postfix/dovecot setup. It also hosts one email account so if I mess up my own configuration I can still do email.

Looks like their current deal is a $5/year for 1 domain https://account.mxroute.com/order/micro You could still set that one domain up as a relay.

cablepick,

At home I have a Proxmox cluster consisting of two Dell R340 and one Intel NUC. There are 25 VM’s across all three machines. They do various development duties along with home assistant, plex, and Blue Iris. The rack lives in a closet under the stairs and I have fiber ran to my office. We did a massive renovation when we purchased so I wired the entire house since the walls were all opened. Average power draw is around 480 watts.

Here is a picture of the rack back when it was all R330. Those have since been sold and upgraded to R340. I added vents during the renovation. Inlet temps stay around the house ambient, and exhaust is about 20 degrees F hotter. I cover the front with additional sound baffles to better route fresh air and control noise. Its pretty much silent outside the closet.

This is the patch panel. I have perimeter cameras all the way around the house plus more than enough wifi access points. Each room also got 2x ethernet on each side, 4x total. My office has got 6x ethernet plus 4x fiber and a 2-inch conduit to pull whatever else I can think of later.

I use Grafana and custom-made scripts for monitoring and alerting. Most of the infrastructure is automated with scripts. One of these days Ill learn Ansible but I really enjoying just figuring it all out. This isn’t my job I just do it for fun. Here is the dashboard I run on one of my desk monitors.

I run my hobby websites, and my Lemmy instance, in the colo but its primary purpose is to be an offsite backup. Proxmox backup server performs best on SSD hence the large array. I also do a lot of travel for work so that’s my remote dev machine too. I run my own mail servers with some small VPSs acting as SMTP and IMAP bouncers to internal servers at home and in the colo working in parallel. HA proxy does the bouncing for high availability and dovecot and postfix do the heavy lifting with solr providing lighting fast search. I do use a third party for outbound mail for better deliverability.

cablepick,

We need to all post the content we want to see.

cablepick,

Bears do not— What is going on— What are you doing?!

cablepick,

I run opnsense, which has a long a storied history with pfsense and in my opinion is better, on a VM in proxmox.

I have a cluster of three servers and I can live migrate the VMs around to do maintenance. It gets backed up to proxmox backup server so restoring from a bad upgrade, which I’ve never had happen, or severe experimentation, which happens frequently, is simple.

It’s also one less device to power on, and pay for. My cluster is running regardless and every watt less helps keep my wife happy.

I’ve never had any issues that I could attribute to it being run in a VM. It does my 1gbe fiber and a dozen vlans with no issues.

cablepick,

Nice! All my servers are 10gbe and at one point were 40gbe. I've had no issues but i also use bridge interfaces and not hardware pass-through for opnsense. I have ran opnsense with hardware pass-through or native in the past and had no issues. Both pfSense and opnsense are bsd based and anything working in one should work in the other.

My next step is to replace my brocade 6610 with a Mikrotik to further reduce power. I listed my full specs here: https://lemmy.cablepick.net/comment/62260

cablepick,

I tried pasting a kbin magazine link into the search box but nothing ever showed up in my communities. I would love to be wrong but I’m not sure we can subscribe to their native groups.

cablepick,

This reminds me of when digg blew it self up and everyone was complaining that Reddit wasn’t like digg. In time something good enough will come along if lemmy isn’t it. In the meantime I’m enjoying myself here.

cablepick,

You need to update your apt sources file. Here is the process. Run the following commands as root. Use sudo -s first to avoid having to prefix every command with sudo. This assumes you are running bullseye. If not you need to update to bullseye first.

Update your current installation first:
apt udpate
apt full-upgrade -y

Then upgrade:
sed -i 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
export LC_ALL=C
apt update
apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs -y
apt full-upgrade -y

Then reboot.

cablepick,

I didn't realize the institutional service was separate from their app but the app side is staying.

From another article about this: https://sports.yahoo.com/lakers-wont-have-to-change-arena-name-as-cryptocom-shuts-down-part-of-business-215153864.html

The company's institutional exchange service will be shuttered within two weeks, per blockworks.co. Roughly 400 customers will be affected by the change. Crypto.com's larger service, its app, will remain active and will continue to serve customers. The app includes a much larger portion of Crypto.com's customer base.

cablepick,

You could just disable pict-rs in the config and instruct users to copy/paste the URL from another image host.

Choosing instances

I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on "administration" not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is "subject...

cablepick,

I have my own server collocated in a data center so I spun up my instance in a virtual machine. All the infrastructure was ready to go and I’ve got a testing and production environment setup between my colo and my home lab. All that to say I’ve done things like this before so it wasn’t that difficult for me. I complied Lemmy from scratch which I do not recommend unless you really know what you’re doing. Docker would be the easiest way but I don’t really use it so I can’t recommend anything there.
