I feel that.

You’re still my brother man no matter what.

Welcome to the club dude/Dudette. Come on, don’t tease us…whatcha runnin’? Glad to have you here and it’s good to meet you.

Awww don’t be sad bro.

Great song BTW and yes, I keep having the same deja vu

self hosting a lyrics site

I remember when people were going to court for publishing lyric sites. Wow! Weird times.

follow those over his steps

You hurt me Shrek. lol

Ha! I commiserate with you. My eyes started to glaze over after a bit. Here are some notes that may help out. They have changed the site around several times so, things may not be exactly in the place as documented, so you might end up hunting around the site. But, this should get you down the road a piece. Additionally, I am running Ubuntu Jammy, so their may be slight differences, I’m not sure.

Now what

Congratulations on the new domain name! Now what? Well, first you don’t tell anyone here what it is. /s Since you are already with Cloudflare, why not go all out and set up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust? Once you install Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust on the server, you no longer need to do all that port fiddling, NAT fiddling, none of that. If you decide to go the Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust route, I have some set up notes you might find beneficial. I’d be more than happy to share them. It isn’t that setting up Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust is hard, but it was a bit touch and go for me, but I got there, and wrote that shit down. LOL

@pmk@piefed.ca has some great advice about documentation. DO IT! Write everything down during deploy. After a successful deploy, distill your notes and clean them up. Make them a part of your 3,2,1 backup scheme.

Suricata would be a better choice given it’s natively multi-threaded

+1 for Suricata/inline

Slow day

It wouldn’t take much really. I run a little fanless standalone pFsense box:

• Intel® Celeron® CPU J3160 @ 1.60GHz
• Current: 1600 MHz, Max: 1601 MHz
• 4 CPUs : 1 package(s) x 4 core(s)
• 8 GB RAM
• 1 TB SSD

Last time someone asked this question, I believe the going eBay price was in the $175 to $275 USD range. Mine sits between my modem and everything else, servers, cams, PCs, laptops, et al. I haven’t experienced any bottlenecks or sluggishness.

Welcome. Nice to meet you!

Awesome! Welcome to the club!

• Navidrome on the server
• Feishin around the house
• Substreamer on the mobile

Many people don’t appreciate the effort involved to be a moderator,

Oh shit, I do…it’s the reason I’m not one anymore. I have lost 90% of my patience in my old age.

it is to post an incorrect answer

60% of the time, it works every time.

You’re doing a good job herding cats @curbstickle@anarchist.nexus. I don’t envy you.

If the free internet goes then so does society as we know it, and the obscure french film collections from the 80s isn’t gonna do anything for you in that new reality. It’s as if people think there’s gonna be some middle-ground where the internet is totally shut down and somehow life goes on as normal. You’d think priorities would shift a little away from media consumption towards “oh shit how do I learn how to filter my water”.

This has been my thinking for the very longest while. If/When the internet goes ‘somewhere’, commerce screeches to a halt, globally. We’re at a point where there is no going back to pen and paper. When commerce screeches to a halt, no one is going to be gunning for your NAS drive filled with movies. They will be gunning for whatever life sustaining resources you have to make theirs. You think people are crazy now…we’ve yet to plumb the depths of crazy.

Well, it all started way back when, with a misunderstanding in my mind about what a homelab is. Back then, in my mind a server was this big, honkin’, brutal piece of equipment. Over the years I came to realize that all that rack stuff, while cheap upfront on the used market, was costing me some serious bucks in energy consumption + the added load on the AC, even when electricity in my locale is relatively cheap. Since I already was invested, I didn’t want to redo everything and start from scratch. Then the ‘mini-racks’ started to be a thing with Lenovo’s and such. I saw that others were doing what I wanted to do with much less. So, now days, it doesn’t take much of a computer to run docker containers, Proxmox, etc. Far more energy efficient, doesn’t generate so much heat load, and significantly more quiet.

In the near future, my goal is to miniaturize my lab, and then build me a $4k AI machine. Out of the frying pan into the fire yes, but I haven’t had new equipment in well over 15+ years. I’ve always had used or refurb’s. I think it’s about time to treat myself.
