- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
If you really think someone is wrong don’t ask them “why, why, why” incessantly like a toddler, grow a pair of balls and just speak your mind.
And in this case I meant “your IP” as in, the grand scheme of things “an IP address that you own”, a VPS for instance, not necessarily the destination. Obviously you wouldn’t need to tell a firewall what its own public IP is. Though if you want to be a pedant, you can absolutely use DDNS with an outgoing rule, to limit traffic to the outside. Is that wrong? Have I clarified my thought to your standards?
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
No fucking shit? In that scenario your friend could use DDNS and you point your access rule to his FQDN to allow access.
Did you really ask me a billion fucking “why” questions just to come back and fucking what prove me wrong? Is this a good use of your time? I literally thought you were a noobie looking to understand.
Fuck off.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
An access rule for instance. To say to allow all traffic or specific types of traffic from a public IP address. This could be if you wanted to allow access to some media server from your friends house or something.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
If OP needs a firewall rule to do any number of things that a firewall does.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
Because you’re not going to setup any rules pointed to a dynamic public IP address. Otherwise you’re going to be finding a way to change the rule every time the ip changes.
The ddns automatically updates an A record with your public IP address any time it changes, so yeah the rules would use the fqdn for that A record.
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
To resolve whatever hostname you’ve setup for ddns
- Comment on Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP 6 months ago:
As long as whatever firewall rules you’re using is capable of resolving FQDNs then I don’t see an advantage of doing this. Maybe in the off chance that your IP changes, someone else gets the new IP and exploits it before the DDNS setup has a chance to update. I think that’s really unlikely.
- Comment on Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S. that don't come with a requirement that drivers watch the road 6 months ago:
Sure, anyone can sue for any reason. That doesn’t mean that a case will be successful. I do agree with you that there if a transfer of liability, until the car tells the driver that manual intervention is needed. But also, this can be used on only specific roads, under specific weather and traffic conditions, I really don’t think it’s much to ask of a robot to do. It actually seems like a pretty boring level of autonomy.

Hope we get more roguelike spins on classic games like this.

They’re generally highly regarded.
- Comment on "Starfield's lead quest designer had 'absolutely no time' and had to hit the 'panic button' so the game would have a satisfying final quest" 8 months ago:
My biggest issue with starfield is that it ended there. Like literally right when it got good imo. Imagine if they continued on and you did the whole time traveling thing with a dedicated story instead of just a new game+ thing. Not super original, but definitely would’ve been better than what we got.

- Comment on Paralyzed by indecision 9 months ago:
You don’t need a protectli, even an old optiplex should be able to handle opnsense and/or a pi hole. You would just want to have 2+ NICS.
- Comment on Anybody here running AD on-prem in your homelab? 9 months ago:
It seems cool but it’s just going to be a big headache man. I would just spin up a domain controller and maybe some workstations to play around with.
- Comment on Second hand disks? 9 months ago:
I would check out serverpartdeals as they’re pretty reputable. But for any used drive, I would make sure that you have a limited warranty or at least some sort of return policy. Once you get the drive, run badblocks on it, which will check for… bad blocks.
- Comment on A fake app masquerading as password manager LastPass just got pulled from the App Store | TechCrunch 9 months ago:
There’s been plenty of malicious apps found in the past. Though, I’m sure the play store isn’t much better. Disappointing that Apple will bend devs over a Barrel sometimes but they don’t find shit like this.
- Comment on multimedia manager by series 9 months ago:
Looks like jellyfin has an api. I’m sure that could be leveraged. Just would need to have a way to send over api requests. You mentioned JavaScript, but I could see this being done in maybe DJango instead if you’re familiar with python. Though the learning curve for Django is a beast in itself imo
- Comment on multimedia manager by series 9 months ago:
Seems like you could just make a simple web page for this.
- Comment on Those free USB sticks in your drawer are somehow crappier than you thought 9 months ago:
I had a less technical savvy coworker putting together a raspi for something, emulation I think. And he was notoriously cheap, he told me he got a micro SD from China for a suspiciously low price.
Well during this endeavor, he would keep asking me about random errors he was seeing. And I kept saying bro it is that cheap SD card you bought. He wouldn’t hear it.
Eventually, he tried out another SD card and sure enough, no more weird errors.
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 9 months ago:
.local is definitely local but it’s common for it to be used with mDNS primarily. To the second part of your question, yes that’s correct, since it will be reserved it will not be any public DNS server, even if it did look outside it wouldn’t find anything.
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 9 months ago:
Sure. Though I’m not an expert on mDNS or anything. It stands for multi cast DNS. In a normal scenario, when your PC tries to connect to a local resource at its hostname it will use a local DNS server (or its own cache). It’s like a phone book. I know who I’m looking for, I just need to look in the phone book and see what their IP is. With mDNS there is no server. You’ll have a service that will plan to respond at a particular .local hostname, so like jellyfin.local (this is just an example, I don’t know if it has mDNS) but that isn’t registered on a server. Instead when your PC wants to reach jellyfin it will send a multi-cast to the other local devices and say “ok, I’m looking for some guy named jellyfin.local, which one of y’all is that?” And the jellyfin server will respond and say “yo what up, this is my ip address”
So anyway, that only works with .local addresses. You could use .local with a regular dns server, but then you may run into a conflict. So that would be the benefit of reserving .internal
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 9 months ago:
.local is for mDNS addresses.
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 9 months ago:
It’s for internal resources. You can really use whatever subdomain you want internally, but this decision would be to basically say to registrars, this TLD is reserved, we will never sell this TLD to anyone to use. That way you know that if you use it internally, there’s no way a whoopsie would happen where your DNS server finds a public record for this TLD.

I don’t use jellyfin but I do use Emby with my Roku. The problem seemed to be with .mp4 files. I transcode all my movies to mkv and no problems now.
