As early as my wife will allow. Hurry up and wait is just how life is to me and I have no issue sitting in a chair patiently... My wife does not feel the same and I'm okay with that, we understand how each other feels so we just leave when she says it's okay lol.

0 at our house (same count as last year) and oddly no kids at the campground that me and my wife disappeared to. We expected some at the campground so we brought candy, after seeing no kids all day we decided to "reverse trick-or-treat" and walked around giving people candy. Most of the other campers brought candy too but had no one to give it to.

Excellent point about the well, if the bladder isn't holding pressure right it could be coming on constantly to repressurize the tank.

It's been a rough fucking year.

USB's are another really big no-no where I work, and running a different OS on my work network would 100% throw a lot of flags in our SOC as it's essentially plugging a rogue device into the network. In my understanding, a reverse proxy allows access to specific resources, if configured properly it only allows access to your DMZ.

VPNs allow you to become part of a virtual network (like one you aren't physically connected to), frequently providing access as though you are directly connected to the whole network. I could set up a VPN to my DMZ I suppose, but that just feels weird as hell as the whole point of a DMZ is to be an area you allow the public internet to reach (sometimes requiring authenticating to the reverse proxy).

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with that, honestly two VPNs are better given you wouldn't want your normal VPN to terminate into your management vlan (nor should you want your management vlan to have access to the internet). I thought we were just discussing normal homelab stuff, all administrative stuff should really be oob.

Just by making it so I can't access from a system I don't control. Like say I need to retrieve a document from my house, but I'm in a SCIF, or a waiting room, or anywhere else I wouldn't have my personal device, it's super useful to just connect to something like Nextcloud and pull it down.

Hmm... Where I work setting up a VPN on my work machine would not only break my workflow, it would probably cost me my job. Plus I'm not a big fan of giving computers I don't control access to the internals of my network. Reverse proxies were invented for a reason, no reason not to use one.

My homelab stuff I like to be able to access from places that take all my free time (like work), making things accessible is a bit of a requirement for me.

I've been using Authentik for a while now and absolutely love it. Is it perfect, no, but it's an IdP completely under my control and that definitely makes up for some shortcomings here and there.

Why does the title imply there is ever an excuse for breaking someone's bones while they are on the way to school?

A friend from highschool was called sperm bank in the Navy because he was Seaman Sellers.

Been searching since I had to get that Jeep, most of them in my state (Georgia) are insanely priced because everyone is searching for them. It's probably just the rural nature of this state though.

I managed to find an '01 Tahoe before the pandemic, but my son adopted it as his first car.

I had to get something to pull a small trailer (like 2,900 dry weight). The literal cheapest option in 2023 was a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was 44k sticker. I wish I could find an older pickup but people realize what they have and are charging so damn much for them.

?? Which lines are you implying? It's blaringly obvious what the goal is, I was merely remarking at the incompetence of the current administration and likelihood of them doing it very badly.

I just assumed it was because it lined up with them destroying the GUI, the new layout is the hot garbage that finally got my wife to opt for jellyfin.

Could you specify any of those issues? I ask because the only one I'm tracking allows unauthenticated playback, but only if they know the path to the file on the machine which is very easy to change from default.

A plant people have been using in medicine since at least the mid 1800's. The type of high varies on how much and how it is consumed, lately I've seen a lot of people drinking it in the morning like a caffeine substitute (I think the place near me calls it an 'island tea' or something like that). It made my wife jittery and throw up so we never tried it again.

Some people smoke it or chew it so those could be different.
