Community newb here: Is it acceptable to post personal for-sale items here? Or is that considered spam? I am retiring a nice Wi-Fi router and would like to find it a new home instead of making more electronic waste. And this seems like a community where someone might want it.
Thanks!
When someone asked me recently what I’m into I didn’t have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?
Motorcycling. You’re old enough to not do the stupid shit that gets young riders killed.
Take the MSF’s beginner course (or your country’s equivalent), spend more on your helmet, jacket and gloves than you do your first bike, and have fun. Spend as much on your helmet as you think your brain is worth.
Remember, you’ll drop your bike, so start with a cheap used one. After a year (or less) with it you’ll have a better idea of what kind of riding you like, and that will inform your choice of second bike.
You’ll drop that one too, by the way. Don’t sweat it. Maybe buy spare brake and clutch levers.
Find a local moto community. Maybe get an intro to the Denizens of Doom. Heck, even a Facebook group can do the trick. You’ll meet new people and make new friends, while learning from people who’ve been riding for decades.
If you survive your first year (you will), you’ll also have become a far better car driver. Riding without a safety cage around you does wonders for situational awareness and risk awareness.
Last note: the car drivers are trying to kill you. They may not realize this, but you should. You’re invisible to them. Ride with a healthy dose of paranoia. But smile. You’re having fun.
Well, that sucks. But I’m not going to tell you to pick a hobby over the woman you love. There are plenty of other things you can do that won’t scare the pants off her. :)
Different people have different risk tolerances. I have two kids. My spouse cares that I wear proper protective gear (and so do I!) but otherwise doesn't try to restrict me. That said I have rather less time with kids than I did before we had 'em. :)
Not sure if the community has already talked about this. Just came across the article mentioning it. Might cost around the same as the DS220+ does now?
Likely will cost the same, or very close. The quad core CPU would be a nice upgrade for me. I’ve ended up running a lot more Docker services on my 220+ than I had expected when I started.
So, couple years ago i started to learn about tech, programming and self hosting services thanks to redditors ( not reddit the evil corp ), and found lots of communities where they pointed me to good resources but then ended up allocating more time to learning programming to switch career into that field and finally got it....
reddit's r/homelab and r/selfhost were my go-tos, but Spez decided to kill the golden goose, so I left. I've been trying to help the Kbin and Lemmy communities grow, but we'll see how it goes…
Oh! Also Tildes! It's been established for a while but the user base isn't huge since it's still in beta. LMK if you'd like an invite.
DNS includes wildcard support, so I can easily use anything.mydomain.net
After briefly trying out a couple of somewhat ingrated Caddy projects others have done, I decided they were too specific to their set-ups and did not make my life easier. I tossed them out and went simple. I wanted something super easy to understand, and thus easy to troubleshoot.
First I set it up in Docker. I created a really, really simple docker compose file:
version: "3.7"
services:
caddy:
image: caddy:alpine
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "1080:80" # Because Synology DSM reserves 80 for itself
- "10443:443" # Because Synology DSM reserves 443 for itself
- "10443:443/udp" # Because Synology DSM reserves 443 for itself
volumes:
# next four lines are default
# - $PWD/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
# - $PWD/site:/srv
# - caddy_data:/data
# - caddy_config:/config
- /var/docker/caddy/config/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
- /var/web:/srv # serve this by default?
- /var/docker/caddy/data:/data
- /var/docker/caddy/config:/config
volumes:
data:
external: true
config:
external: true
(If the machine you are running Caddy on doesn't reserve ports 80 and 443 for itself like Synology DSM does, you don't need the ridiculous high ports I mapped. Just do 80:80 and 443:443.)
Then I created a simple Caddyfile.
web.fakeme.net, www.fakeme.net {
# This connects to the default Synology web service
reverse_proxy 192.168.2.15:80
}
This tells Caddy: When you get a request for web or www, send it to the machine at 192.168.2.15 using port 80.
Then I added to it, one service at a time to make sure things worked at each step
I save and backup all the photos on a Synology NAS instead of using one of the online providers. However Synology Photos doesn't have good search capabilities. So I built a project to search through the images using natural language captions, and found that it works really well....
I saw that Synology Photos is getting some sort of object recognition in an upcoming update. But I love the idea of running your app on a container on my Mac (with lots of cores to run the ML code) while keeping the photos homed on the NAS. Definitely going to play with it :)
