I have to wonder how effective those nets/fences/cages are; especially with the vastly varying build quality. (everything from plastic construction fencing, to metal chicken wire, to steel gratings.)

@bobslaede@feddit.dk I could kiss you. You’ve been invaluable my friend, thank you!

Just gave this a test: CNAME ombi.domain -> local.domain with cloudflares proxy re-enabled.

Now the HTTPS, A, and AAAA requests all receive the CNAME response and browsers are happy. I didn’t even have to modify ngnix to recognize local.domain like I thought I might.

I think I’ve found the problem:

It seems my issue is pihole being unable to block/modify dns requests for HTTPS records, which don’t match the LAN IPs pihole handed out in A/AAAA records.

I’ve disabled cloudflare proxying so they don’t have HTTPS records to serve, but I’ll have to replace pihole with a better lan DNS solution if I want to turn that back on.

Thanks. That seems to be a similar, but slightly different error. I think the below may apply though.

I believe I’ve tracked down more of my issue, but fixing it is going to be a hassle:

When cloudflare proxying is enabled, there are 3 DNS records involved; A record with cloudflares ipv4, AAAA record with cloudflares IPV6, and the key to this puzzle: an HTTPS record with cloudflares ech/https config.

With pihole I can set DNS records for A/AAAA, but I have no way of blocking/setting the HTTPS record so it gets through from cloudflare.

The LAN A/AAAA records don’t match the HTTPS record from cloudflare, so browsers freak out.

Once I disabled cloudflares proxying, I no longer get HTTPS records returned and all works as intended.

I’ll either have to keep cloudflare proxying disabled, or switch pihole out for a more comprehensive DNS solution so I can set/block HTTPS records :(

Thank you @bobslaede@feddit.dk for pointing me in the right direction.

That unfortunately did not work. I am only getting the ipv4 address now, but I still get the same ECH error in chrome 1/5 tries.

Firefox now changed errors from ‘invalid certificate’ to ‘connection is insecure but this site has HSTS’ (true). Still wont show the cert or provide any further info. (forgot to grab a screenshot before the below ‘solution’)

I’m really annoyed at this point and have just disabled cloudflare proxying for this service. That seems to have sorted it for all browsers. I may look further later, I may just say fuck it and leave it like this. Gotta walk away for a bit.

I’ll look into that next if what I’ve done doesn’t work. (see other comments)

Added an AAAA record to pihole:

ombi.mydomain.example 0000:0000::0000:0000

Now nslookup returns the correct ipv4 address, and ‘::’ as the ipv6.

We’ll see if that works.

Crap, looks like that’s exactly what it is.

Now how to fix that…

I do have external acces to Ombi via cloudflare; but the device I’m seeing this problem on is permanently connected to a VPN hosted from the same server machine as ombi/nginx with ‘block all connections without VPN’ enabled. And this testing has been done from within the same LAN.

It should never see/reach cloudflare for this service.

/edit; I’ve also disabled ‘use secure DNS’ in chrome. I host a local DNS within that lan/vpn network.

You’ve done enough, keeping it behind your routers firewall.

You could block LAN access and require a VPN connection to that specific machine if you really wanted more, but I’m not that concerned about it.

Yup. Point is; if you’re not depending on just its login page to keep it secure, there’s not a whole lot needing ‘security patches’, so I wouldn’t be all that concerned about slow updates. As long as it remains bug free, I’m happy.

And security patches

Something with the power of dockge should be behind a seprate form of authentication imo.

I only access it via VPN, it’s not exposed to WAN.

I tend to just use FolderSync myself. To avoid battery issues, I have a schedule for most folders; but my DCIM/Pictures folders sync immediately upon changes. I then have a widget on my homepage that triggers a ‘sync all’. Anytime I need files synced immediately, it’s easy enough to click that button.

Depends on where I’m scrolling and how long.

In a specific community? Usually sorted by ‘new’.

‘Subscribed’/‘All’ feeds? Generally starting with ‘Hot’ then moving to ‘new’ if I start to run into a bunch of content I’ve already seen.

There’s quite a bit of info here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

Some are entirely open, some have usage restrictions like .gov and .edu, some had restrictions but later removed them.

If you use usenet, many indexers have a requests section. I’ve had a couple filled at NZBgeek in the past.

It’s not really what the holes were made for, but there are some extension cords that have a locking feature; a pair of plastic pins moved by a lever that lock into those holes preventing it from unplugging. Handy for dragging power tools around the shop.

Just this week, I setup Homepage to monitor my server and its various docker containers at a glance, including cpu/ram/network usage and a whole bunch of information pulled from their APIs (such as how many itemes are actively downloading via sonarr+sabnzbd, or how many queries were blocked by pihole today).

That in turn lead me too Glances, both as various widgets in Homepage as well as a stand alone tool.

Note: Homepage doesn’t come with authentication. You’ll have to handle that yourself via a reverse proxy or vpn. Glances has an optional login page you can enable, but I haven’t explored that. I access services like these by connecting to my network through OpenVPN.

Yes, birth rates are falling because nobody has time to fuck. That’s definitely the problem…

Coupons often drive sales for items that people usually wouldn’t buy themselves, sometimes even to people that normally wouldn’t shop there; then once they’ve tried something they haven’t had before, the customer is more likely to purchase that again in the future.

Then there’s additional items you add to the order beyond the coupon.

Finally there’s some rather insane profit margins on some of those items. Even with the coupon, they’re still making profit.
