- Comment on Issue with local DNS and Android 2 months ago:
You mentioned ping. If you’re using Termux you may need to manually update its DNS settings (different from the system DNS). The file is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/resolv.conf
To make it roam you probably want your home dns first then some internet resolvers after that.
- Comment on How can I add wireless functionality to a simple electric motor? 3 months ago:
IANAEE. For an on-board application you can create a simple switch with a transistor. www.electronics-tutorials.ws/…/tran_4.html
To make something wireless you’ll probably want to go with a microcontroller or Raspberry Pi and hook up GPIO pins to the motor controls. A transistor wouldn’t be needed in that case as the microcontroller can hold the pin high or low depending on what state you want.
- Comment on New Recovery Tool to help with CrowdStrike issue impacting Windows endpoints 3 months ago:
Surprised it took this long to make a WinPE boot disk with a script to unlock the drive and delete the file. We had to do a similar process when a script went haywire and corrupted the user profile service on hundreds of devices. WinPE supports PowerShell which is extremely convenient for making the process completely automated. The hardest part is getting users to boot to a USB device (or getting into BIOS to change boot device).
- Comment on btrfs drive replacement 3 months ago:
In days past some drive vendors had different sector layouts for drives and would cause issues with raid. Pretty sure most nowadays are all the same layout and you won’t run into any issues. I still look to get the same drive model anyways just to be perfectly sure that there are no issues.
Even then you may run into weird issues like one of my 1.2 TB enterprise ssd drives was reporting 1.12 TiB rather than 1.09 TiB the other 7 drives had. TrueNas refused to build a vdev with that drive and I had to return it to get a new one.
- Comment on Getting Fiber - Please Help Me Understand Routers 4 months ago:
Typically a Fiber ISP will run Fiber optics only to your DEMARC (or Demarcation) point. This will be usually where your main cable (before any splits) or DSL line used to come in (in the US they’ve been using Orange tubes to indicate this and it will usually run to a panel in some closet or laundry). At the DEMARC they’ll install one of two things: a basic fiber to ethernet converter which will provide you a single ethernet port and a pure tap to the internet, or a Gateway device that will convert the fiber to multiple eithernet with NAT (usually providing other capabilites like TV, Phone, etc).
If you have the latter, you may not get much say in what you can do with your connection, and would be limited to a DMZ mode that is configured on the Gateway. What you put behind the converter or gateway is up to you.
- Comment on Is Backblaze a reliable provider? 4 months ago:
I’ve got my mom setup on their PC backup service, no complaints so far (on the Backblaze side that is, she still insists that she doesn’t need continuous backups even though I’ve had to restore multiple times for her).
I switched my backups from Crashplan to B2 as it was significantly cheaper than going to AWS. B2 is more expensive than what I was paying for Crashplan Pro Unlimited (about 8x for the amount of data I have), but I have more peace of mind with it not relying on Crashplan’s terrible Java client.
A reminder that the only good backup is a tested backup.
- Comment on any tips for playing CDDA 4 months ago:
Make or find yourself a cart to drag around (g or G to drag it). It it doesn’t have wheels it’ll be quite loud. Sound = attraction = death in most cases.
Don’t bother with cars for a long while, even one that actually runs. They take a lot to maintain and cause a lot of noise (see above). You’re better off starting with a bike for midrange transportation (or if using mods a foldable bike).
When you start building or find a nice base area, make a crafting nook and drop all your items nearby to it. When crafting you can pull ingredients from 1-2 tiles adjacent.
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 6 months ago:
I had analytics turned on (new phone and didn’t check it before), and the app info only shows 76 kB have been transferred in the past 30 days. Seems pretty reasonable, but I disabled it anyways out of principal.
- Comment on ISPs can charge extra for fast gaming under FCC’s Internet rules, critics say 6 months ago:
You seem to be misinformed on how the internet works. Nothing is “free”. ISPs have to buy equipment, pay for expensive physical connectivity (without disturbing existing infrastructure), and usually have to deal with constant, ever increasing bandwidth requirements.
I’m all for a bit of net neutrality, but ISPs tend to get a lot of flak for policies like this, for seemingly no reason. For example, let’s say ISP A and Upstream B have a mutual bandwidth sharing policy (called Peering) where both sides benefit equally from the connectivity. ISP A determines that N is using all the bandwidth to Upstream B. ISP A has three options: N gets all the bandwidth to Upstream B (disturbing other traffic to/from that network), N has to be throttled to allow all traffic equally, or ISP A and Upstream B need to expand their network again (new equipment, new physical links) which will cost a lot of money. N doesn’t even pay ISP A or Upstream B, they just pay their ISP C. In the end, ISP A has to throttle N, and N is the one who had to expand/change their business model to deliver content to their customers. They had to go out and buy services from many upstream providers to even the load and designed a solution to install Caching boxes inside each ISP’s datacenter so their traffic could reach end users without going upstream.
- Comment on Buch of questions about Raid, LVM, ZFS and VPN, DDNS, port forwarding and backups. 7 months ago:
For the disks, you may have a small issue with having multiple types of disks in a single RAID10, as those disks might have slightly different physical attributes. ZFS is an option here as you can add two vdevs for the different drive types and add them to the same zpool, which effectively creates the RAID10 you’re looking for. You would typically not use LVM on top of ZFS but if you go with RAID10 it would let you create logical partitions that can be expanded easily at a later time.
Another ZFS option is to use RAIDZ1 with the 4 disks in a vdev. The vdev will use 1 disk of space across all disks to maintain a parity with the other disks. You will have 12TB of usable storage on your 16TB raw storage. This will allow you to lose one drive with no data loss.

- Comment on [K8S] nfs and mounting problems 8 months ago:
Could be trying to mount it loopback instead of by ip. What does your exports file look like? Can you do a mount from 192.168.0.55 manually?
- Comment on nginx https only works when not on local network 9 months ago:
Based on your edit about getting the public IP: Most firewall/routers are not configured to do this operation by default (called Hairpinning). If you request your firewall/router’s external IP address from the internal network you won’t get a response unless Hairpinning is enabled and some devices don’t allow you to do that. If you have an internal dns server, you should override the internal dns to return the private ip address so it goes to your nginx reverse proxy instead of the firewall/router.

- Comment on Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole 9 months ago:
I would start by testing if you can resolve acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org from the PiHole and if not, see what you need to unblock that.
- Comment on c/Palworld, a community for the new monster-raming game 9 months ago:
There’s a tutorial that leads towards the first dungeon boss of the game, but after that it looks like you make your own challenges. There’s a few bosses around my level that I’ll be taking on next, then I’m probably going to explore to see if I can find more dungeons.
- Comment on c/Palworld, a community for the new monster-raming game 9 months ago:
Honestly I would describe it as Ark-lite. It has base building/taming and that’s pretty fun, and you can also get random encounters at your base. The leveling system is a bit grindy. There are dungeons and bosses in the world to go find and explore. The map is huge, I think I’ve hardly explored a tenth of it.
Been playing about 15 hours or so and enjoyed it, but the game is definitely early access. I’ve had a number of crashes, fell through the world a few times, etc. I’d give it a month or two if that bothers you.
- Comment on LinguaCafe - Confused why the provided docker-compose doesn't work. 9 months ago:
Based on your update you may need to bring the containers down and up to fix the database.
Sometimes when opening LinguaCafe the first time there is an error message about users database table. If this happens, just stop and start your containers again, it should fix the problem.
docker compose down docker compose up -d
- Comment on Initial steps with OPNSense 10 months ago:
Sounds about right, just be aware that your LAN and WAN networks need to be different, so you’ll likely need to change your old router’s dhcp subnet. E.g. 192.168.1.1/24 on the WAN and 192.168.0.1/24 on the LAN.
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what format this uh.. nested dictionary is? 11 months ago:
This looks like a combination of JSONP and the ES2015 computed property name syntax. JSONP is used to load into web pages using a script tag and execute the function (item) with the data, rather than a direct response from Ajax.
As for tools, jq may be able to parse this assuming you remove the item( and the last );
- Comment on Access home server from anywhere 11 months ago:
If your home ip changes a lot a dynamic dns provider will keep up with it so you don’t constantly have to change your phone’s wireguard configuration
- Comment on NAS solution recommendations 11 months ago:
Synology’s support is also quite crazy. I’m still using my 8-bay NAS that I bought in 2015. It’s been replaced twice by RMA. Just upgraded it to DSM 7.0 a few months ago. Almost unheard of in the era of planned obselecense.
