Actually, I’m more used to the big sites going down, than small ones, but considering the fact that they are well-fed to come back online, compared to volunteer projects, just gave me some concerns

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

Well… technically…

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

I know I could, but many of the communities I follow, are on lemmy.world. So that doesn’t mitigate the issue.

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

I’m a kbin refugee, so joined lemmy just recently. I mean, I had an account here, but never actually used it until now. And admittedly I also never faced issues here.

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

Dude, why’d you call me a nonce? Can’t you just use normal insults like idiot or moron.

btw, since english isn’t my first language I had to look it up with the expectation of it meaning something funny like a donkey… but that’s just a disgusting language.

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

Nope! Ever since I’m actively here, it hasn’t. That’s why it raised some concerns.

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

I use phtn.app mainly, and when encountering issues, I double-check lemmy.world

ad_on_is OP , 5 months ago

I already did the most common thing that’s done in the open source community… I raised an issue

ad_on_is , 5 months ago

Looking at our history, I doubt this will ever happen. We already have plenty of tools that make our work life easier, but instead of enjoying the gained free time, we get overwhelmed with more work.

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

Right??

ad_on_is OP , 6 months ago

yeah, but you can’t reply to me back 11 hours ago, when I posted it, right? that was my initial question, whether it’s possible to achieve that in theory or not.

ad_on_is OP , 6 months ago

lmao 😂

ad_on_is OP , 6 months ago

karmawhoring 🤷‍♂️

ad_on_is OP , 6 months ago

that’s what karmawhoring is all about, isn’t it?

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

Not familiar with owncloud.

But can’t you set something like “127.0.0.1” as domain?

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

after modifying /etc/fstab you’d have to manually run sudo mount -a for the settings to take effect.

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

I’m I the only one who’s fine with not having notifications? I personally just open the web/app to see whether there’s something new or not.

This goes for all the social media stuff I use… I don’t want notifs constantly pushed into my face

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

To add to that… If OP owns a domain, they could issue an SSL cert for a subsain, like lab.example.com and point the A record to the (hopefully static) IP if the router, and port forward 443 to pihole

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

By hopefully… I actually meant that OP might have a static IP already.

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

Wher I live they are rare too. They used to be more common back in the days, but now they’re mostly offered to business customers.

But you’re right… the “hopefully” could’ve been easily misinterpreted as in “hoping the IP doesn’t change anytime soon, or ever”

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

I don’t know of any beginner tutorial, since I learned it along the way.

But in a nutshell. Most webservers (reverse proxies) are manual. nginx, caddy, traefik. However, there’s nginx proxy manager, which is a web gui.

Regarding DNS, you need DNS regardless of fixed IP what you probably mean is dynDNS (dynamic dns) which you’ll definitely need if your IP changes.

Most of the docker services use mounted folders/files, which I usually store in the users home folder /home/username/Docker/servicename.

Now, my personal habit of choice is to have user folders on a separate drive and mount them into /home/username. Additionally, one can also mount /var/lib/docker this way. I also spin up all of these services with portainer. The benefit is, if the system breaks, I don’t care that much, since everything is on a separate drive. In case of needing to re-setup everything again, I just spin up portainer again which does the rest.

However, this is not a backup, which should be done separately in one way or the other. But it’s for sure safer than putting all the trust into one drive/sdcard etc.

ad_on_is , 6 months ago

But… but… mom told me not to trust strangers on the internet.

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

Nice, but 99% of time you won’t even enjoy this beauty of hard work, since it will be covered by your apps.

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

Would a ruler suffice?

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

oh… it’s “chores” … nevermind… I’ll find myself out

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

Can you pinpoint what you did to your system before? Did you do a system update? Did you move game files around? Did you add any repositories trying to install something that also updated other dependencies, or alike?

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

I’m not familiar with mint, but maybe you can see whether you can easily downgrade to the previous version you had. And hold off on the updates until a fix is published for the broken stuff.

But before that, take a look at the mint communities and see whether it’s a known issue and whether there is a manual intervention needed to fix it. Something like “newest update broke some proton games”, etc.

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

Well, actually OP has a valid point! I mean… sfsfafsa… innit?

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

YSK that this is not an advertising community

Now imagine being a freelance developer, who works for more than two clients, using Teams with different email addresses.

It’s a horror!

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

Regarding the SMB-share, let my try to clarify. Let’s say you have 3 machines. 192.168.1.10/20/30. On machine 10 a folder synology which has a network folder mounted onto it from machine 20 mount -t nfs 192.168.1.20:/some/folder synology.

Now you want to access that folder on machine 30. Here you can’t use mount -t nfs but MUST use mount -t cifs instead, because you cannot forward a mounted share. However, this is not the problem, it’s just a description of my current setup.

Regarding the ownership. Your point is very valid, but I ruled that out already. I did a so-called bind-mount within Synology with the exact user permissions as in the users home folder, but this didn’t work. FYI: a bind-mount is where you have two folders /foo (with many sub-folders and files) and /bar (empty). If you do mount --bind /foo /bar, then the system thinks that bar is a real folder with the subfolders and files (from foo, including their permissions).

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

If you find something, can you share it with us?

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

I’d really prefer to avoid NextCloud, since it was very slow, in comparison to Synology, on the same hardware.

But thx for the hint abaout casaos. Didn’t know about that. Will definitely have a look at it.

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

Maybe my comment might be a bit misunderstanding, but I do run my Fedora VM within proxmox too. So, I have two VMs, Fedora and Xpenology.

I was just wondering whether the additional VM makes even sense to have it running alongside XP.

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

Sorry, due to a typo, there’s some confusion. I do run proxmox bare-metal, with 2 VMs: Fedora, xpenology.

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

I tried that… although I had some issues setting it up.

What’s funny, I thought this would be the hacky solution, while xpenology being the real deal.

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

you’re right… I’m already evaluating it now.

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

who called a can?

ad_on_is , 7 months ago

even if that was true, the other side could just stop hitting the shield all the time and do precise targeting.

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

Just came across xpenology and surprisingly I managed to set it up without a hassle. I think this is my final solution I’ll be going with.

The thing that amazed me the most. I could import my GoogleDrive files and it converted them so they work in synology office… Mindblowing!

ad_on_is OP , 7 months ago

I’ve heard about it, but I’m good on lemmy. Thx.
