  • I’m curious what issues you had with TrueNAS? I’ve been using it for about a year now and the only issue I have had has been with one of my pools deleting itself after a reboot, but that was user error because I put the wrong SED password in the settings.

  • How are you making services remotely accessible?
  • On iOS, I tap on my profile in the upper right, and the VPN-on-demand setting is right below my account.

  • The Sign
  • Yeah, our entire IT org has a vendetta against IBM. We were just looking to start implementing Terraform too…

  • How are you making services remotely accessible?
  • I’ve been using Tailscale for about 2 months now. It has a VPN-on-demand setting that I keep enabled. That way, anytime I am not on my local WiFi, it automatically connects the VPN. According to my battery health settings, Tailscale has used 5% of my battery in the last 10 days. And I am even using a Mullvad exit node, which would use even more battery.

  • Are you getting good use out of your espresso machine?
  • I got my machine about 2 years ago and I use it almost exclusively. I don’t think I’ve made coffee any other way in at least 6 months. I make espresso for myself and my wife about 3 times a week. I use a smart plug with my machine to turn it on and let it start heating up without having to go to the kitchen, and that has helped me use it more since I can start preheating it from anywhere.

  • Verifying -arr Downloads?
  • As much as I hate to send anyone to Reddit, the wiki on the Usenet subreddit is great. They explain the concepts and components and have a list of good indexers and providers.

    If you have any other questions or need help setting anything up, feel free to send me a PM.

  • Verifying -arr Downloads?
  • I would really recommend looking into Usenet. I was in your position a few months ago (starting to look for private trackers), but ended up hearing about Usenet and going that route instead. It has been amazing so far. It has everything I am looking for, I don’t need to worry about a VPN, and I can download as fast as my ISP can go, so I get my content in minutes instead of hours. I also don’t have to worry about my VPN disconnecting for some reason and my ISP sending me a nasty letter. The only downside is, if you want the best, you’ll have to pay for an indexer and a downloader, but it’s not that expensive and is certainly worth it for the benefits over torrents.

  • Help with espresso flow
  • This was exactly what I needed to see. I was afraid that maybe what I was seeing was a sign of some crazy bad channeling, but I have always used lighter roasted coffee and I forgot that would produce the results I was seeing.

  • Help with espresso flow

    Please help! I have all the fancy espresso tools and a nice grinder, but I have no idea why I don’t get an even flow out of my machine. I have a Niche grinder, I use a WDT tool to distribute the grounds, I use the Normcore distributor, and a normal dose tamper. I replaced the shower screen on my espresso machine with the VST screen and I’m using a VST 18g basket with a puck screen. I am pulling 40g shots in about 28 seconds, so I believe my flow rate is right, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

    Starfield will get official FSR 3 support in a Steam beta update coming next week
  • Wonder if this will make it playable on Steam Deck. I would love to play this on my Deck, but performance is so bad.

  • Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole
  • That is what I ended up doing temporarily, but I think I will just make it temporarily permanent. I could likely set up another Docker container to run a DNS server connected to a DoH resolver, and use that container as the DNS server for Traefik, but that's a lot of work.

  • How to access traefik hostnames from tailscale clients
  • I own 3 different domains and just today set up SSL services for them using Traefik (made another post for an issue I’m having with that).

    I ended up doing a subnet router and that got me what I was looking for.

  • Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole
  • Did some more testing to get some details. The error I am getting from Traefik is that Cloudflare cannot create the record because it already exists (PiHole already has the entries). If I delete the records from PiHole, Traefik can then create the TXT records in Cloudflare.

  • Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole

    I set up SSL certificates for my internal services behind Traefik, but I was having some issues obtaining the certificates. I ended up having to add this line in my Docker compose file to bypass PiHole which is controlling the internal hostnames for my domain:

    - --certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.dnschallenge.resolvers=1.1.1.1:53,1.0.0.1:53

    After adding that, I was able to successfully pull a cert. The issue is, I have a firewall set up that blocks DNS requests from everywhere except my DNS servers (PiHole), so I had to pause that rule temporarily to get the request to go through.

    Wondering what I can do here (if anything) to resolve this without having to disable my firewall rules regularly.

    How to access traefik hostnames from tailscale clients
  • That is almost the exact same thing I am doing. I have 2 Pi's running PiHole in HA and I just made one of them the subnet router to allow this access. Since I will be the only one using this, I don't care to use Funnel right now, but thanks for showing that to me. I am (obviously) new to using Tailscale, and that looks like a very neat feature.

  • How to access traefik hostnames from tailscale clients
  • I set that up, but the issue now is that my DNS server is replying back with the private IP, which is not accessible from tailscale.

    EDIT: Figured this one out. Need to advertise the routes from one of my machines. Set that up and I am good to go now. Thanks!

  • How to access traefik hostnames from tailscale clients

    I finally decided that I wanted to be able to externally access some of my Docker containers from outside of my local network. I don’t want to deal with the security hassle of exposing ports on my router, so I decided to go with Tailscale.

    All of my container web services are run through traefik and are accessed using hostnames I set up on my DNS server. How would I go about accessing the different web services externally since the hostnames don’t resolve?

    VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally?
  • We are an enterprise manufacturing company. We have lots of hosts on process networks not connected to the internet. Seems like the subscription license won’t be compatible, so we plan to seriously look at Proxmox for those in the coming years as we replace hosts.

    For our datacenter, we decided to move everything to Azure. This decision was in the works before the license change, but the acquisition by Broadcom and their track record certainly played a part in the conversation.

    For our site hosts, we are looking into Azure HCI or possibly Hyper-V, especially since these sites don’t have many VM’s and don’t need features offered by VMware.

    If you’re an Azure expert and are looking for a new job, send me a message. We’re hiring.

  • Firmware update bricked dock
  • I tried that several times, but unfortunately it is 100% dead. I tried pulling power probably 10+ times, but same result every time. Ethernet strobes then goes dark, and only power pass through works.

  • Firmware update bricked dock

    Updated my dock to the latest firmware today. It worked fine until I restarted my deck to try and resolve some game streaming issues. After restarting the deck, the dock no longer works. When it is first connected to power, the ethernet lights strobe then go dark. Ethernet isn’t being detected by the deck and neither is the HDMI connection, but it still passes power on to the deck. Anyone else have any issues with this after the latest update?

    Any recommendations for a 20TB hard drive?
  • Do they not still intermingle their stock? Last I remember, if a 3rd party seller lists a product that Amazon also sells, the stock is all put together in the Amazon warehouse. I’ve gotten counterfeit electronics even when it says “ships and sold by Amazon”. I’ve started buying from B&H.

  • Lemmy, yesterday I asked for your help in pairing airpods before a 4 hour flight and you saved me! Thank you so much!
  • I also had this issue after I finally got my AirPods paired to my steam deck. What fixes it for me is after launching the game, open the Steam menu, go to Settings, and change the output device to the built in speakers, then back to the AirPods.
