Do a ping of 8.8.8.8 from your user, then open a new console and run tcpdump -i <interface> with first your uplink, then wg0. The packets should be seen on wg0 if they’re routed correctly and the problem then is on the vps side. Otherwise it’s a problem on your local config.

- Comment on How do you keep up? 4 weeks ago:
I have rss feeds for my main service updates so I know what new features I have, the services mostly run in podman containers and update automatically each Monday. I also have daily backups (timed to run just before the update on monday) in case anything does break.
If it breaks I fix it depending on how much I want/need it, mostly it’s a matter of half an hour to fix it and with my current NixOS/Podman system I haven’t yet needed to fix anything this year so it breaks infrequently.
Also why are you using Kubernetes on a single host if you want minimal maintenance? XD
My recommendation is to switch to just managing containers, you should just be able to export the volumes out of kubernetes and import them as normal volumes, as long as they’re mounted in the right place you keep your data and if it doesn’t work just try again. Not like you need to destroy the current system to slowly replace it.

I don’t think it is, the article doesn’t say much beyond opinions. I also can’t find any news talking about it being decided, just proposed.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 months ago:
I doubt the os switch is happening too, some will probably switch but that will be a small amount, either they get Linux or afaik all other “popular” options require new hardware anyways (Macos)
I think many will just stay on windows 10 if their hardware doesn’t support 11 but ehh
Difficult to say, that’s why I’m waiting on the EOL for headlines like “millions of pcs vulnerable due to missing updates” or “maybe we were a little hard on crowdstrike”

- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 months ago:
I’m just waiting for the EOL of window 10 to see which of the following will happen:
- Many PCs will stop getting updates, people don’t care
- Many PCs will be replaced for windows 11
- Turns out people already have replaced their PCs due to other reasons
- Microsoft removes the hardware requirements
- People switch to another OS
- People just don’t buy a home PC anymore
- ???
- Profit???

- Comment on Adding storage - Best options? (External USB drives, automatic decryption, media, etc.) 6 months ago:
Drives connected to usb have an unstable connection in my experience, this is very annoying and gets worse with hubs.
RAIDs reduce the time a system is offline and reduce data loss, if a drive fails and you can afford to wait for the new disk and the backup to restore, and have regular backups that ensure no important data gets lost (though remember the data added between backups may be lost) then you don’t need a RAID.
I don’t use RAIDs cause if my disk fails then I can stomach the 2-4 days it takes to buy a new one and restore the backup
Very important: use S.M.A.R.T and a filesystem with checksums to make sure you’re not backing up corrupted data and know to get a new one
For encryption at rest you may want to look at clevis and tang, though you need a server in your home network for this to work. The client (with clevis) then decrypts the disk at boot if it can reach the server (tang). The server can’t decrypt the data without the client secret and the client can’t decrypt it without the server public key.
Don’t know what your server could be though, maybe a router with custom firmware?
You should also look into cloud storage/rclone, that way you can automate your backups more and reduce the need for manual intervention.
I use rclone and restic to automatically backup my servers daily which takes a few seconds most of the time due to them being incremental backups.

- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 1 year ago:
We asked Microsoft if a Copilot key would be required on OEM PCs going forward; […] it expects Copilot keys to be required on Windows 11 keyboards “over time.” Microsoft often imposes some additional hardware requirements on major PC makers that sell Windows on their devices […].
From what I understand, this either means that this will only affect laptops and similar devices, or that they want to force companies that sell windows PCs to sign a contract disallowing them from selling keyboards without a copilot key, with or without a PC. I think (hope?) they mean the former.
