You are probably right on this regard, sometimes some regulations can have a big impact on how things function. However, do we really need to have the thing itself exposed to the internet? Can we not have a better architecture to have the same thing, but safe? The technology is there, is just a matter of doing it right

    I would like to throw some caution in the wind about this. Before getting anything be very to sure to check

    • how power hungry the platform is (even on idle)
    • check the drive types used by a mobo always
    • make sure you get something of which memory is normal as expected

    Aside from that, by all means always try to make a small home lab first (a laptop with a broken monitor can work for this, even a phone really) and then commit to something bigger once use cases are found

    When you send an email stating you want to exercise your gdpr rights, more often than not the companies asks for an identification of some sort. I've seen in multiple threads on other services that when that happens is common to ask for an Id. Which actually creates a chilling effect, making people less likely to go with the gdpr enforcement. So by default they don't ask for anything, but the language implies the capability is there in case the gdpr clause is brought up

    I am in the hunt right now for a domain (I plan to use for email and such, meaning, things that would be tied to my legal person). As some of you know, by law in many places it is required to have a set of legally true information to register a domain (from name to house address, in case the domain needs to be verified to belong to a real person).

    I was checking porkbun a second ago, and the privacy policy really does not give me confidence (they mention very clearly there is sale and ai training involved). I am from Europe so I would expect gdpr to be respected by default, however, they say I would have to send an email to get my rights and identify myself (I expect an Id upload which is not really a thing I want to do).

    Considering all this, what are the better places for domains? I expect to pay more than porkbun, but if it people that do it right, so be it.

    I am not going to say this is a one country specific problem. However, we for sure need to start a much needed scrutiny regarding cars in general and privacy/security, and we need to start somewhere

    I actually have a question about this: if I agree to a version of the ToS, later there is an update, and I do not agree with the changes, should not be the case I keep using something out of date but also with a certain version of the ToS?

    Asking in legal terms here, since companies like to put these changes as "accept or walk away" sort of situation, but I am almost sure this is actually either illegal or very close to that (and no, ToS, or a contract, is NOT above the law. So don't even bother with that point)

    From my perspective has to do with form factor more than anything else. These smart glasses at a glance are indistinguishable from regular glasses. A phone looks like a phone, so people know what's up at a glance.

    From what I understand from the article, generating code does not grant copyright, although of it is proven that most of the work is human made then you can have a copyright (to what percentage has to be manual work to have a copyright? Afaik, nothing is in the article). So with this in mind, I see that you cannot apply a license what essentially does not have a copyright (if most effort is not manual) but maybe someone can prove me wrong.

    I am very new to nvim in general, and lately I have been trying to see if I can get configured to work better for rust programming (simple stuff, like proper language highlights, automatic formatting, if not too much work have rust-analyzer to sometimes check what is being done once in a while). I tried to check online what people post about this subject, and more often than not I am lead to guides and explanations that clearly do not work with the more recent versions of nvim. And in some cases, they shove so many plugins that I lose count (and many times tried to change stuff like init.lua just to end up with a broken install).

    So my questions are:

    • What options can be used by nvim itself that makes it more suitable for rust development (excluding plugins)?
    • If plugins must be used to have more advanced features, what are they and what are the best practices to add them to nvim?

    Recently I was bored and decided to search on amazon if it was possible to order a large idiot. Surprised enough, amazon did give me results for the book "the idiot" (large print) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (I have never read anything made by Dostoyevsky, but now I am curious). So maybe I am going to read in the near future something I've never heard about and came by random search. What are your similar stories?

     

    Hi,

    I an currently trying to add remote access to 2 of my servers but didn't manage to get a working setup as is.

    Right now I want to access 2 servers:

    • one is for media stuff (navidrome, jellyfin, managing the arr stack)
    • one is for my data syncing with rsync and after set a backup from borg to another server not on my domain

    I was trying at some point to add stuff such as tailscale, but somehow I always had issues with having both servers reachable within the IP range I use on my local network, so everything would work as is with the current config at home being away. I have also heard of cloudflare tunnels as well, but that I didn't try yet. At some point I tried to do just a regular wireguard from my opnsense, but I would prefer not to have open ports to worry about (and also had issues with internal IP not being assigned from wireguard as well).

    Does anyone here has experience with this? If so, what was your solution and/or caviats to it?

    EDIT: I got some very good responses but I think I failed to understand that what I would need is probably a hop in server of sorts for the VPN. Meaning:

    • I login to the hop server
    • I get an internal IP for my network, meaning, 192.168.1.xxx
    • I do whatever I need to do
    • log out

    Does anyone has experience with such solution? My point would be able to have full access to everything on the network without having to do a VPN on every machine i need access to (although it can create a massive single point of failure/risk)

     

    Hi everyone,

    I've been running opnsense for a while now (mostly set and forget) and it has been a great addition to my network.

    There is however one point I've never addressed and lately I've been thinking on doing it, but not sure how. Until now, my devices on my network they all are in the same default vlan, but with only 2 distinctions via firewall rules:

    • can connect to the internet
    • can only access local devices (so no internet. All iot sort of devices get this rule)

    As expected, opnsense deals with dhcp and have also installed on the same machine adguard (with all expected rules to redirect all DNS traffic to adguard). All of my machines that are permanent in the network they have aliases and static ips.

    I am aware this is not a great setup, and this is why I wanted to implement vlans to make sure if a rogue device is installed at first creates no harm to the network at large (meaning: devices by default fall into a vlan without access to the internet at least, more drastic measure is not allow access to anything besides the router). Eventually, a vlan where devices can only go to the internet can be added, and of course, a vlan that just has all the expected access to the home devices.

    I did some research on this and there is information on how to do vlans and such but sometimes the explanation goes a bit over my head (or the explanations don't cover some important details). So my broad question to all of this is:

    • do you guys know anyone that explains vlans on an understandable manner inside opnsense? Usually video form is best, but articles can be useful too
    • does this setup with 3 vlans makes sense in the 1st place?

    If someone has input on how this can be best done I would like to know as well, since I can be approaching this in a too complex manner.

     

    Recently I added a new HDD to my proxmox system, and I started to realize the HDD was running warm. Was thinking for a second, and having a dashboard with temps and general hardware health would be useful for the server, but I do not find a solution from within proxmox to do this.

    Does anyone here added this kind of dashboarding in a proxmox installation? And if so, how or what did you use?

     

    I've been recently dabbling on rust, and I am have been mostly doing that on my laptop. However, I also have a desktop and once in a while I would like to resume my stuff from the laptop, but without manual file transfers.

    I know git by design does this, but I would like to use my current docker setup with Ubuntu server to have a very simple git server.

    What would be the simplest git server to have in this situation? Keep in mind I am not planning to expose none of this to the internet
