tofubl,

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I’m aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

tofubl,

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Hifiberry DAC running OSMC (nicely packaged Kodi on top of Debian) acting as my media center and recently installed Jellycon with the hopes of being able to use server side transcoding for a few formats my old TV doesn’t support.

My verdict: Menu navigation is slow, but it’s a native kodi integration (supports widgets) and playback works great once you made your way through the menus. You can selectively set transcoding options per file type which is exactly what I needed.

Best solution I’ve seen so far, as it also does IR remote passthrough over HDMI if your TV supports it. The addon works in any kodi setup of course. I think there might be a way to start playback from the Jellyfin web UI but haven’t bothered with it. This would fully remedy the menu slowness, I think.

tofubl,

Is that a way of saying you think he’s wrong?

I thought the book had an interesting core idea, even if his grasp on technology seems rather loose and I really disliked the literary device he used to explain said idea.

What’s your take on it?

tofubl,

Hm, interesting. I didn’t read it like that, but as an economist trying to make sense of what’s going on and explain it to others. I didn’t question whether the thoughts are original, neither do I know if there are holes in his concepts that I as a non-economist am blind to. My personal opinion, anyway, is that the message is important today (or better yet 15 years ago but nobody would have listened 😉), no matter whether he is primarily motivated by his ego or what.

Maybe this makes me part of the people he caters to, but that line of thinking doesn’t lead anywhere meaningful anyway, I think.

I liked the end of the book: A call to action for us to come up with tools and technological solutions for “users” to stand together so we can create resistance against overly powerful cooperations and demand our rights. I don’t think it’s hypocritical for him to ask for this either. We need people to point problems out and problem solvers, both.

Have you read more of what he wrote or how did you come by that opinion on him? Technofeudalism and a number of interviews leading up to the book release was the first I was exposed to him.

tofubl,

By god, lemmy is civilised. 😂 I love it.

I can see what you mean, too, but am still on the liking him side I guess. And anyway, l’art pour l’art and all that, right? 😅

tofubl,

And I’m sure the fish he caught that one time really was YEA big. And boy the fight he gave him.

tofubl,

I strongly disagree with this statement. Just because it’s hard to do doesn’t mean it isn’t what you rationally decide you want to do. The reason for staying and the reason for leaving are orthogonal to one another or else there wouldn’t be a conflict. Compare to substance addiction: You decide you want to stop, but you need.

tofubl,

I second Zigbee.

  • There’s plenty of devices available.
  • Battery life is amazing.
  • zigbee2mqtt is an easy way to bring those messages into your regular IP network; they have a huge list of supported devices.
  • Once translated to MQTT, you can hook any automation onto it you want: a python script, home assistant, or my recommendation in this case, NodeRED. NodeRED has a module for zigbee2mqtt that is very well integrated to just know all devices registered on your zigbee network and stringing flows together is actually fun once you get the hang of it. Plus, there is no upper bound to flow complexity.
  • Gateway device can be a sonoff zigbee USB coordinator and the whole thing can comfortably run on a rpi3.
tofubl,

Read your reply now, and not sure about the requirements you have: must not leave the local devices or must not use the WiFi?

If it’s the latter, a 4g USB modem with a cheap iot data plan easily frees you of that.

Got tracked down for my school reunion

Today I was contacted by someone at work. She graduated school with me and our 20 year reunion was coming up. Why did she contact me at work? It was the only way they were able to track me down. I was included in promotional material by name. She told me I "was the hardest to track down"and I had to smile....

tofubl,

Have your parents and siblings changed their everything as well? That’s how I would try to find someone I went to school with.

tofubl,

One proxy with two NICs downstream? Does that solve the “single point of failure” risk or am I being overly cautious?

Plus, the internal and external services are running on the same box. Is that where my real problem lies?

tofubl,

The services run on a separate box; yet to be decided on which VLAN I put it. I was not planning to have it in the DMZ but to create ingress firewall rules from the DMZ.

tofubl,

Right, I could have been more precise. I’m talking about security risk, not resilience or uptime.

“It’ll probably be the most secure component in your stack.” That is a fair point.

So, one port-forward to the proxy, and the proxy reaching into both VLANs as required, is what you’re saying. Thanks for the help!

tofubl,

Right, I agree with proxy exploit means compromised either way. Thanks for your reply.

I am trying to prevent the case where internal services that I don’t otherwise have a need to lock down very thoroughly might get publicly exposed. I take it it’s an odd question?

Re “bouncer”: Expose some services publicly, not others, discriminated by host with public dns (service1.example.com) or internal dns (service2.home.example.com), is what I think I meant by it. Hence my question about one proxy for internal and one public, or one that does both.

tofubl, (edited )

This is exactly the type of answer I was looking for. Thanks a bunch.

So but in that way, having a proxy on the LAN that knows about internal services, and another proxy that is exposed publicly but is only aware of public services does help by reducing firewall rule complexity. Would you say that statement is correct?

tofubl,

I never specified, I think, and probably wasn’t too clear on it myself. Thanks for your insights, I’ll try to take them to my configuration now.

tofubl,

This is a good hint, I’m going to take a look at that. Thank you!

tofubl,

Haha, why do I even ask.

tofubl,

The answer seems to always be “not segmented enough”. ;)

tofubl,

You should start training in secret immediately! Stages are easy enough to come by once you’re ready.

tofubl,

I was thinking training montage, with Eye of the Tiger and everything.

In all seriousness, picture your dude’s face! He will have forgotten all about that bet (he might have even now) and one regular sunny day you CASUALLY walk on over to that conveniently located stage; “hold that drink for me for a second, honey”, and BAM. He won’t know what’s even happening, crying into both of your milk shakes in joy and confusion.

Plus, you’ll be super buff. There’s no downside, really.
