- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 1 day ago:
I did have backups, it was an easy fix. I had a
pihole -upon a crontab for years, probably not the best idea :)FW rule accept :53 from pihole only, deny :53 from all. I had some devices with hardcored DNS settings (8.8.8.8).

Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole’s DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me :)

Why not just use forgejo’s actions and runner?
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May 4 days ago:
They’ve owned it since 2011. When they did buy it, they had Lync, which sucked pretty bad. Now they have Teams, probably the result of merging Lync and Skype.
- Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?? 1 week ago:
I never received any kind of talk from my parents. Also, in my home country, during the communist era and even after, sex ed in schools was taboo. Crazy thing too, since it had (and still has) one of the highest teen pregnancy numbers in Europe.
Anyway, I did not want that with my kids. Luckily where we live now there is a strong sex ed program in schools, but also at home, we were always open. We talk about sex casually, we reiterate “always ask for consent” and “no means no”, and my son even ratted out one of his school buddies who’s a Tate fan. He knew that what the guy was saying was wrong, so they don’t hang out anymore.
Also, sexuality. One of my daughters came out to us over dinner, so casually, “dad, I think I’m gay”. I just said “cool” and gave an awkward fist bump.
Just be open, casual, don’t make things weird.

Check out crowdsec. Like fail2ban, but with crowdsourced lists on top.

I did not know about opencloud.eu, and now I’m intrigued. I was always looking for a simple Google Drive alternative, but Nextcloud was too much. Will definitely keep an eye on it.
- Comment on Whats your favorite domain extension? 3 weeks ago:
Got a .cc for my home-lab, and a very cheap .li for a website I’m building. Other than that i got .de, .eu and .com for my name and my kids names. Don’t know if they’ll ever use them, but meh, a .de is a few cents per month.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 3 weeks ago:
i did have some blood tests back in december. everything was within parameters for someone my age & gender.
i’ll try the calories / carbs counting. based on how much i eat, i should be able to add it all up at the end of the day. i remember 10-15 years ago i dropped the sugar from my coffee and also stopped eating bread for a few weeks, and i dropped a few kg. i do eat veggies, it’s not just protein with rice. my kids love a salad with olive oil and lemon juice, and my stir fries and curries also have plenty of them. but noted!
thanks a lot for the tips!
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 3 weeks ago:
thanks! i commute once or twice per week to the office, and that’s some train, some walking. i average 5k steps per day, but with 10k when I go to the office. yesterday i did just under 1k.
i did check in with a specialist regarding my sleeping issues. it’s… complicated, but i’m working on it, part medication, part cpap machine :)
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 3 weeks ago:
sorry for hijacking, i am also interested in the subject, commenting here to hopefully get some info. i’m 174cm / 84kg. i wear medium clothes, but my beer muscle shows up, it’s quite big. even through a sweater.
i don’t exercise (i work in it, from home mostly), but also, i barely eat. today i had 3 coffees (no sugar, little milk), some leftover stir fry (veggies, chicken, mie noodles) and an apple, and that’s common. i don’t eat sweets or junk food.
i cook almost every day, usually curries & rice, stir fry, pizza/pasta, soups and stews, but i rarely eat myself. i switch daily between chicken/pork/seafood/tofu/legumes for protein, but there’s always rice or pasta or bread.
i drink a couple beers in a week (on average), i drink very little water throughout the day, maybe half a liter.
i sleep very little too, about 5h on average (less during the week, more on weekends).
where should i start? what’s the most blatant issue on my list? i know, all, but… what would be the first?

For live monitoring (not offline!), maybe dozzle can help?
- Comment on What do you host on your backup servers? 1 month ago:
I know about pbs, I even have an IP set aside for it :) I do have the built-in proxmox backup function take nightly snapshots or my important vms to my nas, but I don’t have anything really put together. Also, nothing for my nas itself. It is configured in a raid 5, but as we all know, raid is not backup :)
One day, after I am done with <insert reason here>, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.
- Comment on What do you host on your backup servers? 1 month ago:
My backup concept is on the to-do list. Been there for a couple years. I do have triple pihole/caddy/haproxy/redis for high availability on a triple node proxmox cluster! necessary? no. cool, though? heck yeah! friends and family impressed? uhm… what was the question?
- Comment on Way to learn a language 1 month ago:
So did I, and a lot of people I grew up with. Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel and later on, the Internet.
My teenage kids fluent as well, and that’s almost all of it from watching media. First cartoons and movies (I keep all my streaming services in the native language, and most of them are in English), and now… YouTube.

I… guess? I don’t know how I would classify these games. But they all are able to steal from me 8h in a day, no issue :)

Project Zomboid, Rimworl, Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, Starsector…
- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 3 months ago:
I don’t live so far north, but good, light, waterproof boots. Of course, everything else people recommended already - good gloves, socks, jacket, and layers. But for me personally, boots would be the most important.
- Comment on which VPS do you recommend? 4 months ago:
I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).
- Comment on Day 69 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 5 months ago:
I tried playing a couple of times with others, it was not my thing… I personally prefer alone. I have a certain style, I like base building and hoarding, and I go for very long games, usually lasting months IRL. I put in more than 1000 hours over many years, and I never got bored of PZ :)

You can siphon gas with an empty bottle too, you no longer “need” a gas can. It holds a lot less gas, but would work in a pinch.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 5 months ago:
While my car was being repaired after a crash, the insurance company gave me a rental to use for the duration. The rental company only had a Land Rover Evoque (or something), and that car had the fancy led matrix lights. It was amazing! You could actually see the light being “shaped” on the road in front, going around incoming traffic, it was constantly moving. To me it was a bit distracting though…

- Comment on Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools 5 months ago:
I’m an arch user, and also have a small proxmox based homelab. I always have a live Ubuntu around, the latest desktop version available. Good for troubleshooting. Also, latest proxmox, opnsense, pfsense, debian.
Additionally, I have a small USB drive on my keychain with both USB C and USB A, where I keep some encrypted backups of important stuff, and I can access that from both my laptop and my phone.

I use wildcard certs. I don’t know if this completely fixes the issue, though.
