- Comment on Termix 1.8.0 has been released. 2 weeks ago:
missing a way to find out what they do without installing them
At the very top of the project page it says:
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities.
Now you know what it does without installing it
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 2 weeks ago:
You’re confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.
beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs…
First, you’re not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it “works.”
Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there’s no way around that. What you’re asking for is for someone to write programs that’ll let you skip the learning curve.
GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end. It’s your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that’s eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?

it does not.
.gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov…
- Comment on SearXNG doesn't load the settings ... 1 month ago:
At some point you had to learn all about debugging the overly-complicated and annoying OS that runs your full installs, didn’t you?
- Comment on SearXNG doesn't load the settings ... 1 month ago:
per the searxng container instructions:
’’’ Understanding container architecture basics is essential for properly maintaining your SearXNG instance. This guide assumes familiarity with container concepts and provides deployment steps at a high level. ’’’ The fact that you’re logging into your container to manually edit your config hints that you need to read more about managing containers.
Make sure you’re editing the file that you’re mounting on the host, and edit it from the host.
Have you checked the actual log with podman logs? It’ll tell you what it’s doing about its config.

did you shower think yourself into the dead internet?
- Comment on Tape drive backups 4 months ago:
Why do tape drives seen to be best? What’s your use case? They’re still used in enterprise statements because they’re insanely dense compared to hard disks. Is that what you need? Density? Seems like not for just a few gigs.
If you want backups you need to ship your media, tapes or otherwise, off-site.
Pop your files into a cloud service and call it done. If you’re looking for long term archives and don’t want to use other people’s computers, burn some DVDs and store them at someone else’s house.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 7 months ago:
no. Arp bridges layer 1 and 2. It’s switch local. With a VLAN, it becomes VLAN local, in the sense that 802.1q creates a “virtual” switch.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 7 months ago:
Broadcast traffic (such as DHCP) doesn’t cross subnets without a router configured to forward it. It’s one of the reasons subnets exist.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 7 months ago:
What in the world is “a proprietary OS I cannot trust”. What’s your actual threat model? Have you actually run any risk analyses or code audits against these OSes vs. (i assume) Linux to know for sure that you can trust any give FOSS OS? You do realize there’s still an OS on your dumb switch, right?
This is a silly reason to not learn to manage your networking hardware.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 7 months ago:
A VLAN is (theoretically) equivalent to a physically separated switch. The only way for machines to communicate between vlans is via a gateway interface.
If you don’t trust the operating system, then you don’t trust that it won’t change it’s IP/subnet to just hop onto the other network. Or even send packets with the other network’s header and spoof packets onto the other subnets.
It’s trivially easy to malform broadcast traffic and hop subnets, or to use various arp table attacks to trick the switching device. If you need to segregate traffic, you need a VLAN.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 7 months ago:
What you are asking will work. That’s the whole point of subnets. No you don’t need a VLAN to segregate traffic. It can be helpful for things like broadcast control.
However, you used the word “trust” which means that this is a security concern. If you are subnetting because of trust, then yes you absolutely do need to use VLANs.
