Yup, I have a domain I purchased and on my lan I use PiHole and Caddy. All my apps and services use the format app.mydomain.com. PiHole forwards all requests for *.mydomain.com to Caddy, which handles the LE certificate (via DNS challenge) and forwards the requests to the proper IP:PORT. I started using this for everything, my Proxmox hosts, printer, my APs...

I use Jellyfin for movies, TV shows and music.
For music, I use Symfonium as a client on my android phone, as it feels the most feature rich, and has android auto integration.

Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Telegram disputed that data is stored in plain text on the company’s servers, saying “everything stored in Telegram’s cloud is securely encrypted.” The spokesperson also said, “This kind of FUD is not surprising, coming from a minor competitor (and typical for this one). That said, we can confirm that we have neither developers, nor [servers] in Russia and we don’t see any of the mentioned risks.”

Kids are like sponges, especially when it comes to languages.

We lived in Romania until a few years ago, when we moved to Germany.
We speak Romanian at home, and they have a decent grasp. The oldest is fluent, with no accent, the youngest lacks vocabulary, applies German grammar rules and has a bit of German accent.
All of them speak German fluently, and they use it when they talk to each other, with friends and at school.
They are also fluent in English, and that is because of the media. I only use English when it comes to devices OS/interface, streaming services etc, and they are used to it. They consume YouTube, Netflix etc in English only.

They sometimes mix the languages, especially when talking to us, since their exposure to Romanian is limited.

Same. Grew up watching Cartoon Network, HBO and the Discovery Channel with no subs (or dubs, they are not a thing in RO). Then there was music (lyrics) and later on video games and the Internet. It helped not having any OS or software available in my native language. Even to this day I use my phone and computer in English.

While I did have English classes at school (6th to 12th), the level was rather basic... I also took French for 10 years, and I can barely speak it. Otoh, I didn't take one Italian class, but I can speak some, and understand almost everything. Again, this is because we had a bunch of Italian TV channels in the early 90s.

Said to a random person, it confuses the hell out of them.

Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse?

I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can't help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a...

beerclue ,

Slowly.app? It's like having a snail mail pen-pal.

beerclue ,

Sorry, I thought platforms in general, not specifically in the Fediverse.

beerclue ,

I'm in Germany and I barely see any German posts... Must be something from either your user or app settings.

beerclue ,

I don't really look/care for German content :)

beerclue ,

You never filed for tax return in 18 years - in Germany? Mate, I get back about 1500-2000€ every year, do it.

beerclue ,

No, in Germany you pay taxes every month. At the end of the year you can do a text return where you ask for some of that back. Usually expenses that are work or kids related (traveling for work, job seeking, after school etc). Nothing to do with the US...

Why don't you try NFS? For me it's a lot easier to set up...

beerclue ,

Probably the container does not have the required NFS client/libraries, but you don't have to do this inside the container... You mount it on the host and share it via a docker volume with the container.

beerclue ,

Remember that the container sits on a different network, the docker network, maybe that's why access doesn't work.

You can add the mount to be noauto in fstab, so it doesn't mount it unless you access the location. You can also mount it manually or via script, as needed.

Not sure how to help more, you have a peculiar setup...

beerclue ,

No worries, glad to be of help.
I still think that you should do this on the host, not the container. Containers revert your manual changes on an update, they sit on a different network, it's a mess.

Just for reference, this is how I have my NAS mounts on my machine (/etc/fstab):

10.10.10.14:/volume1/backup /home/beerclue/priv/nas/backup nfs noauto,user,rw,vers=4.0 0 0

And on the NAS I have it set like (/etc/exports):

/volume1/backup 10.10.10.17(rw,async,no_wdelay,crossmnt,all_squash,insecure_locks,sec=sys,anonuid=1024,anongid=100)

I'm not saying this is the perfect setup, but it works for me.
I see the mount in my file explorer, and it only mounts it when i click on it, or when I tell it to from the terminal, so no boot impact even if I am away.

beerclue ,

I hope I can move from nightly directly to the RCs, the freeze versions.

I had the bad idea of trying out 10.9 nightly, and I couldn't go back to 10.8, so I have to live with the bugs and incompatible plugins :(

How often do you change your mobile phone plan?

I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won't upgrade me to it until I contact them. There's also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit on...

beerclue ,

Every two years. That's how I get a new phone for free...

Because chicken bones are small, and when they break, they tend to splinter, and the sharp edges can cause damage.

Having said that, my grandma's cats in the countryside have been living eating raw chicken scraps, leftover human food, and chicken bones. They have never been to the vet and never tasted canned cat food. They're fine.

Good mini PC for around 100€

My current setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb RAM and a 1tb external SSD. I'm thinking of getting a used mini PC for around 100€ to replace that tho because it would give me a lot more power and especially RAM (I currently need to use an 8gb swap file). My plan so far is to get a used mini PC that's quiet, has a...

I got an HP ProDesk 400 G2 with an i5 6500T, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for 99€. Works beautifully, and while it's not as efficient as a raspberry pi, it idles around 6-7w and can run a bunch of VMs with Proxmox.

beerclue ,

Yeah, one of the USFF or whatever they call them.

beerclue ,

Depends on your needs. I have a couple LXDs that only need 512MB each... But I did upgrade mine to 16GB.

beerclue ,

I got a few HP Elitedesk/Prodesk computers. One with an i5 9500T for ~200€, a couple with i5 6500t for about 100€ each (one small factor, the other a bit larger, with a PCI slot for a GPU). Not the most recent or powerful, but more than Enough for a homelab with a handful of VMs. Power consumption sits around 36-50w for the 3 machines, a small dlink switch and a Synology NAS with 4 drives.

beerclue ,

At my current job, our department (DevOps), uses Linux (arch). A couple of devs too (Ubuntu), the rest use a mix of Macs and Windows. The Online versions of Office work just fine, there is Teams, Azure login and even Intune for Linux now.

At my previous job, most of the company used Windows, but the devs were using 90% Linux (Ubuntu), some of them with 2 machines (laptop and workstation with GPU, point cloud stuff). Ah, the good ole days of Ubuntu 16 and Nvidia drivers 🥲

The job before that, a very small company, mostly devs, we were using half Windows, half Linux (mint).

This is Germany btw.

beerclue OP ,

It's a data maintenance feature that amends data in storage pools that are incorrect or incomplete. It works on BTRFS volumes or RAID 5/6 storage pools. It's scheduled to run monthly on my NAS. I guess it started now as I upgraded my drives from 4x4TB to 4x18TB.
