  What if you try reaching it through your public IP?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupid question, but is the service reachable at all? What if you map 81 to 81? Or whichever port the other, confirmed-to-work service uses?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN server on router or within home network?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s based on hole punching, but with extras. The clients punch a hole in their respective firewalls then the service connect the holes so the clients end up communicating directly with each other. They have a lengthy blog post about NAT traversal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN server on router or within home network?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tailscale. It does some UDP fuckery to bypass NAT so you don’t even need to open any ports. You can run it on individual hosts to access them directly, and/or you can set it up on one device to advertise an entire subnet and have the client work like a split tunnel VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the real difference between a shell script and Ansible (and which should I use)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ansible is an abstraction layer over system utilities, shell, and other programs. You can specify what you want to happen, and it will figure out how to do it. For example, you can use the ansible.builtin.package module to specify which packages you want to be present, and Ansible will decide which specific package manager module should handle it and how.

  Ansible tasks are also idempotent – they are concerned with the end state instead of the action. Many of the modules (like the package module above) take a state parameter with the possible values of present or absent (instead of the more common “install” and “remove” actions). If the system’s state satisfies the task’s expected end state (e.g. the package is already present), the task will be skipped – unlike a shell script, which would simply re-run the entire script every time.

  Ansible also implements strict error checking. If a task fails, it won’t run any subsequent tasks on the host since the end states would be unpredictable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Classification need with Tailscale, remote access, and local access.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s unfortunate, I have no idea how Tailscale does routing on Windows. Try running the client without accepting any subnet advertisements.

  I’ve also found this: tailscale.com/kb/1023/troubleshooting#lan-traffic… The solution might be to advertise a larger subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.0/23) to make the route advertisements on the tailnet less specific than on the LAN. Advertising a larger subnet won’t cause any additional issues because it’s in a private IP range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Classification need with Tailscale, remote access, and local access.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you set up subnet advertisements on the router, and which subnets? Did you touch the ACL in the tailnet’s admin console?

  On the home PC, did you accept advertised routes with the Tailscale client?

  What happens when you ping a host on the LAN using tailscale ping ADDR? What happens when you try to tracert or tracepath to it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good experience with neko remote browser⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps there was an easier lighter-weight way of doing this?

  sshuttle does exactly that. It’s basically a VPN that uses SSH tunnelling. If you have a host in the same network as the target machine, and you can SSH into it, sshuttle can route all TCP traffic between you and the target (or a subnet) through the host without having to bind local ports manually.

  That question could really use a “not applicable” option. I don’t operate any home automation solutions, so any answer from me would be invalid.

  That’s not how any of this works. Not-quite-Hitler would still be exposed to the same influences and grow up to be the same person.

  Having a consistent definition of “woke” is too woke for some dinosaurs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The minimum spec is whatever e-waste you can find that still powers on.

  My home server has an i3-4160, 10 gigabytes of mis-matched RAM, a ten-year-old 240 GB SSD with 36000 hours on it, and three 1 TB hard drives in a RAID5 array each with ~25000 power-on hours. It runs Proxmox on the metal with a virtualized OPNsense, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin server (plus smaller services). Jank levels are high, but not fatal, and it was mostly free.

  What about LCD? Switching the state of a cell results in mechanical changes, which might influence how much sunlight it absorbs (even if it’s minuscule compared to the heat generated by the backlight)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Physical media died when games expanded beyond their capacity. Optical discs are physically fragile, they have a limited shelf life, they have to be reproduced by specialized equipment (not considering piracy here), they have to be physically transported to the customer, some regions are financially unviable (imagine the Helldivers 2 situation but with every game), and production has to end at some point. Having to set up a physical supplier also severely limits the ability of indie or solo developers to have any kind of success or even presence.

  Physical media is obsolete, and people clamoring for its return are nostalgic for a world that doesn’t exist anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi cuts product returns by 50% by changing up its pin soldering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem was that it interrupted the line. We’d have to stop and inspect each product, then reposition or replace the connectors, before the reflow oven. It also ran the risk of damaging the connector, the PCB, or even the inserter head if the insertion force was too high. We had a higher rework and scrap rate compared to similar SMD-only products, but using pin in paste meant that wave soldering could be skipped altogether, and I guess someone above my pay grade determined that it was better in terms of finances.

  This is just my own experience. I don’t know Rpi manufacturing practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi cuts product returns by 50% by changing up its pin soldering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to work on an SMT line, and pin in paste was the bane of my fucking existence. The parts (mainly connectors) were rarely within tolerance, and a leg or two would consistently miss their holes, if not outright rejected by the inserter.

  Could be, I have no idea. I’m Hungarian (not a fact I like to advertise), and in my language, “néger” is the correct word. It’s not considered vulgar because the word simply doesn’t have the same historical context. We also have a popular hard candy called “Negró”, so named because of its black color.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This was about Torvalds, not Tech Tips

  Wrong again. I was comparing Pewdiepie’s video about Linux to LTT’s Linux challenge. Felix has shown a considerable understanding of Linux and relevant components that many “tech” entertainers (least of all Linus of LTT) don’t.
