Just buy a domain for 10-20 a year and host a dynamic IP updater internally. Just another layer to self hosting and getting off cloud services entirely.
- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 3 weeks ago:
This is the one I went with along with a supermicro server board. The company has been great as I’ve already needed replacement rack screws and a new control board due to my own foolishness. They shipped me replacements at no charge very promptly.
- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 3 weeks ago:
Same recommendation here. I went through two QNAP units before being fed up and building my own 12 Bay for about 1200. My first QNAP died shortly after the 3 year warranty expired and the second died shortly before. I was able to RMA the second and sell it to recoup some money towards building my own TrueNAS system that I can now fix myself and not rely on proprietary anything.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 5 weeks ago:
I’m still confused on the sentence “re-imagining is exactly the right term”, because to me imagination is fluid and ever changing, but they said this term means the story has not changed.
I would expect remaster to be the proper term here, but I’ve not played the original or seen this iteration so I’m not sure what to think.

Why stop there? Pretty sure BL3 was free at some point recently.

Wow, the simultaneous turns is a game changer. I tried playing this at a LAN party a few years back and the slog of waiting for each player in a 6 player game did not bring back the nostalgia I had when it released some 20 odd years ago. If we had this mod it would have made it much more enjoyable!
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 2 months ago:
I was a little unfair in my post towards Proxmox. It really is a great solution and I can’t really complain, but it sucks in comparison to ESX where many “custom” items are still hidden in the cli or custom configuration items,. Many of these things are available in the GUI in ESX which is a pretty rough translation for some that have worked in ESX for many years like myself. ESX isn’t without it’s CLI moments but they are rarely ever needed, and if needed only for drastic measures.
The UI is not very intuitive and really looks quite dated too. ESX, Nutanix and XCP-NG have much better interfaces imo, and if Proxmox could throw some of that extra money they’ve earned from the VMware exodus in their UI it would be worthwhile.
Again, I shouldn’t complain but as I get older there’s not much “tinkering” time anymore, and the less time I have to sift through forum posts or official documentation on why something isn’t working as intended, the more easily frustrated I get.
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 2 months ago:
Don’t go Podman. When I started years ago I installed Fedora with the “containerization” option. This installs podman, not docker as I’m sure most know. I did not.
Podman works great for the most part, but it’s slight differences from docker will have you fighting tooth and nail for certain services to work correctly. And not many (if any at all) have any documentation on getting their containers working with Podman of they don’t start. If you make a GitHub issue asking why or how to get things running in Podman because their docker stack doesn’t work flawlessly like it will in docker, good luck getting help (Mailcow comes to mind specifically here).
Looking back, this decision really shoehorned some very fundamental ideals about containers in my mind, but it was a long fought road I would not choose again. The knowledge I gained about containers with docker would have come soon enough on the easy road.
And yes, you can install Docker on Fedora, but I was much too far down the Podman track before finding out. My environment has changed drastically as of late and most things have been migrated to docker apps in Truenas now, living directly next to their storage as intended (the arr stacks really take a performance hit running their databases over NFS once you have a lot of media for example).

- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 months ago:
I’m sure they did, and they wouldn’t take the farm down until there was X% failure, but the amount of time and effort it took to perform those repairs made it unfeasible.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 months ago:
It worked well until there was a component failure, requiring a whole farm to be taken down to replace said failed components. This is why they dropped the project.
- Comment on Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5 2 months ago:
What type of disk (HDD or SSD) and how many disks in the pool?
RAIDZ1 configuration will bring your write speed down some due to data having to write to multiple disks at a time. This is true for most any RAID. Once written, your read speeds should remain the same or improve a bit though.

AMD is apparently king now, and Intel has had some pretty big snafus in recent years. Personally I see them as interchangable.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’ve never heard of that manufacturer for power supplies. The first search on them is a PSA to not get them with many comments that they don’t work. I would go for an MSI or EVGA PSU instead. Everything else looks good.

- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
Have you modified the default unbound config at all? This sounds like increasing the cache size limits and timeframes in the unbound config could help.
I’m actually chasing an issue I’ve always had where everything works great in my environment, but on mobile certain domains take ages to finally load up for me. I think it’s a combination of my Pihole blocking and the amount of domains tied to a page (advertisements and tracking), but would love to figure it out. I work around it right now by flipping wifi off and on again in those instances.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
Instead of port 53, I need to run unbound on 5335 (or another obscure port).I believe I also had to make some host level changed for DNS to operate correctly for incoming requests.
Here’s my podman run commands. These might have changed a bit with Pihole v6, but should still be ok AFAIK.
#PiHole1 Deployment/Upgrade Script podman run -d --name pihole -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp -p 8080:80/tcp --hostname pihole --cap-add=CAP_AUDIT_WRITE -e FTLCONF_REPLY_ADDR4=192.168.0.201 -e PIHOLE_DNS_=“192.168.0.201#5335;192.168.0.202#5335” -e TZ=“America/New York” -e WEBPASSWORD=" MyPassword" -v /var/pihole/pihole1:/etc/pihole -v /var/pihole/pihole1/piholedns/:/etc/dnsmasq.d --restart=unless-stopped --label=“io.containers.autoupdate=registry” docker.io/pihole/pihole:latest

- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
I just went through my setup to verify dnssec settings in unbound to troubleshoot strange latency when removing random names while browsing. Did you verify the unbound certificate file was created and had the proper permissions? There are also a couple other configuration items in unbound related to dnssec that can be tweaked to improve the implementation.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
I do exactly the same thing for all three of these services! My implementation is on podman rather than docker, but basically the same deal.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
Apologies, you mentioned specifically your network drive. Interesting article but they give several work arounds for containers that may require host mode, and it appears the non Plex pass image is one of them to resolve this specific issue.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
I would go around them and go directly to the source of categorization. It looks like this is the Symantec categorization website in case it’s different from what you’re workplace provides - sitereview.bluecoat.com/#/
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
You’ve likely given it full control to whatever storage you’ve mounted in the container anyway, unless you’ve given it the :ro flag, which in that case would operate the same regardless of networking mode. If someone gains access to your internal host, you have bigger problems. Some things just play better under host mode and all bridged mode is doing is creating a virtual switch on your host and passing allowed traffic through it at a base level. The best way to protect is by running a load balancer in a DMZ and proxying all of the traffic through it which is how I have my instance running. I funnel everything external --> TCP\UDP 443 in DMZ vlan load balancer --> internal LAN IP:docker port. I run a mix of host network or bridged mode depending on the container.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 4 months ago:
Are you running in docker? Change from bridged mode to host mode on your container which should resolve this.

As someone else mentioned, this is only available to PlexPass users. Sorry for the confusion! I bought my lifetime sub over a decade ago at this point and forget about these inconsistencies that used to just be part of the product.

It all starts to make sense then. I need to set Jellyfin up soon. It’s only a matter of time before they come after the “Lifetime” purchasers like myself. I bought it over a decade ago at this point.

Strange that plex.tv isn’t blocked while a “personal” categorized website is. Have you looked to see what category your domain is shuffled under? You could try submitting a recategorization request to Cisco Umbrella or Fortinet databases. Requests for recategorization are free to do.
