Peter Zenyan has a really good breakdown of why they want it … it’s for geopolitical reasons (the northern passage)

weight management is all about habits … start finding small ways to create healthier habits and grow slowly …

Sometimes there is a psychological factor. I was overweight most of my life and I always felt a constant need to satiate. When I was diagnosed with ADHD and started taking medication that hunger went away.

Try things like volume eating, fiber pills, drinking more water … small things add up over time but you have to be consistent.

Exercise helps but diet on it’s own can get you there too. CACO is the law (Calories in, calories out)

Give the Pangolin project a look.

It’s a reverse proxy with tunneling solution that can expose domain names to the internet without having to manage the certificates or open ports.

I use it in my home lab and it’s very very good

well, we can’t let you out of this, we’re all in this together. Let’s make programming “tidy whites” a thing! XD

thinga can still work … you just have to put a shit ton of effort

Host your own cloud, de-google your phone (Recommend /e/OS) run a piehole … etc

It’s basically a full time job

dont forget your programming socks

I just bought aan IP KVM switch for a hundo, now heading to the store foir a case of frosty’s and re-rack my servers to make room.

The one factor that no one seems to have mentioned yet that is key for many of us is LEARNING …

It’s a great way to learn virtualization and containerization

I use it exclusively to run Linux containers, it makes it very convenient to backup and restore as well as replicate environments.

We are now migrating our lab at work away from VMW

That’s exactly what I have, and that’s exactly what I wanted … DARN … oh well. I guess it’s nice to have the document sync as well

Works for me

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don’t have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)

Is it better than NC?

Switch implies I only have one computer … I have many, including several servers.

Ever since I have memory I’ve been a tinkerer and linux being OS enables you to do amazing things … along with open source software.

I (dont) use arch BTW … Windows on my gaming PC (because of antichieat amongst other compatibility foes) Mint on my personal tablet and Proxmox on my servers

This is bad news … I also host my Pangolin ingress node on Ionos … Can you let me know what you pick?

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.

I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD

Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.

Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

You’re probably using revanced or vanced … there was a recent patch, you have to update it.

I don’t trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they’re free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn’t reclaim your box)

I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that’s routing traffic for my “media” box
