- Comment on DNS server 1 day ago:
There are 13 root name servers, they container info about which DNS is authorative (can tell you about) a given TLD (like .com or .de) then that repeats for every part of your query with that given server.
Something. Foo. Bar. Com. (<root name server>) ^ most of the time the same as. ^ DNS for baz or bar dns again ^ DNS for Bar ^ DNS server for the .com tld ^ the one unbound asks first, not part of the domain
The root server ips are known to unbound and static.
Then it will ask that server? Like I said unbound remove the middle man and somewhat increases privacy (debatable if only you use it but anyway)
- Comment on DNS server 1 day ago:
Forwarding: just passes the DNS query to another DNS server (e.g. your ISP’s). Home routers use forwarding to pass DNS queries from your home network’s clients to your ISP’s DNS servers. For example, for foo.example.com, a forwarding DNS server would first check its cache (did it already ask this question before), and if the answer is not in its cache, it would ask its forwarder (your ISP’s DNS server) for the answer, which would respond with either a cached response, or would perform recursion until it figured out the answer.
Recursion: the DNS server receiving the query takes it upon itself to figure out the answer to that query by recursively querying authoritative DNS servers for that domain. For example, for foo.example.com, a recursor would first query the root servers for what DNS servers are responsible for the .com TLD, then it would ask those servers for example.com, then it would query the servers for example.com for foo.example.com, finally getting the answer to the original query.
Copy-pate from here.
Basically, it remove one middle man from the DNS resolving.

Pi-hole forwards the requests to another DNS server. Unbound can ask the root servers and go down the DNS chain.

Yeah I can see that now, didn’t notice because it was still working. I’ll check out this aap but I wonder why this is a new project and not a fork/transfer of ownership.

- Comment on Automating Restic backups 1 week ago:
The problem seems to be that when you run restic with systemctl start, it passen on your user environment including the information of where your rclone.conf lies. When the systemd service runs on its own it doesn’t have this. You need to either tell restic the path to your rclone config or set the home environment such that the systemd service checks the right location.

And for those who don’t know: git was there first, then github made it their marketing model (they are two different things, don’t confuse git with github!)
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 2 weeks ago:
A mirror isn’t a backup, are you sure you don’t want to use something like restic?
You didn’t specify if your pool should be a distributed one or one individual pool per nas.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
The presence is P2W.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution 2 weeks ago:
If I understood you correctly then you basically want each NAS to have two storage pools.
Pool1
- bigger pool
- only your data
- part of a distributed storage across all NAS(?)
- backup 3-2-1 Pool2
- smaller pool
- shared to the home network it is a part of
- backup 3-2-1
Is this correct?

- Comment on [HELP] Podman quadlet adding files to container 4 weeks ago:
Well, ithe correct way would be to create a new container image using your current image as the base and executing your commands, you then need to rebuild that image when the base image is updated.

I think you can use volumes or mounts to add signal files.
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 5 weeks ago:
They also say this:
In the absence of relevant standards and until the publication of the references of the relevant harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union, the transitional testing methods set out in Annex IVa, or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art methods, shall be used.
So I remain hopeful.
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 5 weeks ago:
Apparently not
the new labels is tested using the same software used by many tech reviewers: SmartViser. This French automation company works with labs and manufacturers to simulate real-world usage. So now, the battery performance you see on the label is based on consistent, lab-tested data, not just marketing claims.
- Comment on China bans uncertified and recalled power banks on planes 5 weeks ago:
Not sure how to go about marketing that in our current disposable society, though.
Ditto. The most likely solution would be EU regulations forcing longer battery life/better battery safety. Maybe the new law for replaceable batteries in smartphones could be enough, it includes a rating on charging cycles which could be the new “muh number is bigger!”
- Comment on China bans uncertified and recalled power banks on planes 5 weeks ago:
Why would they? AFAIK it’s less power density for safety gain - which is hard to market. The only way I see it happening is if we find a safer and denser storage medium or if laws force safer batteries.

- Comment on Kubernetes storage backends 1 month ago:
The problem is that I want failover to work if a site goes offline, this happens quite a bit with private ISP where I live and instead of waiting for the connection to be restored my idea was that kubernetes would see the failed node and replace it.
Most data will be transfered locally (with node affinity) and only on failure would the pods spread out. The problem that remained in this was storage which is why I’m here looking for options.
- Comment on Kubernetes storage backends 1 month ago:
Thanks for the info!
I’ll try Rook-Ceph, Ceph has been recommended quite a lot now, but my nvme drives sadly don’t have PLP. Afaict that should still work because not all nodes will face power loss at the same time.
I’d rather start with the hardware I have and upgrade as necessary, backups are always running for emergency cases and I can’t afford to replace all hard drives.
I’ll join Home Operations once I’ve worked out how to provision my NixOS base system
