The real issue is all the misinformation in the text

Initially, it didn’t seem as if most weren’t focusing on that. It was the fact that AI was involved…somehow, which prompted my tongue in cheek ‘delete the em dashes’ comment. If there is misinformation, like the opensource of AI, sure by all means, point that out. I mean, unless the mods make a ‘no-AI rule’ which would seem almost impossible to determine with a bit of rewording and editing of an AI generated text, then they will come. It didn’t seem to fit into the ‘low-effort’ rule. So, I wonder what would happen if no one responded and just ignored the thread until the mods made a decision. I scroll right by plenty of threads. A good tongue lashing by the users here doesn’t seem effective at all.

I’d say chances this is a person from Japan is slim to none.

I have no way to confirm that. On the internet, no one knows I’m a horse. Hell, even in real life, you really never know a person. You just know what they let you know.

Pretty interesting.

I don’t give a shit if you use AI or not to translate from one language to another. Sounds to me like a perfect use of AI. Assuming you are of Japanese origin (‘financial planner in Japan’), I would find it quite difficult to translate from English to Japanese and still sound coherent. I have always wanted to learn tho, even if it’s just enough to order my authentic sushi and call it in it’s native tongue and impress my very competent sushi chef. It’s a fascinating language to me. However, in the future, it would be beneficial to you if you deleted all of these: ‘—’. They are a literal ‘fly in the ointment’ around these parts. I personally don’t run business apps in the cloud, so the article content, tho an interesting read, probably doesn’t really apply to me.

Thank you for sharing.

If you are asking whether you should expose n8n to the public or if you gave your friend access, yes i would definitely classify that as dangerous. In your case, user submits email and something happens. As @frongt@lemmy.zip said, a user could submit any number of things via email that could/would cause issues.

n8n is a selfhosted, automation platform that allows ‘visual’ block type ‘programming’ along with minimal code. There are two flavors. With AI or without AI.

and allow Suricata to do its IPS work.

Pretty much this. I have several VLANS set up to segrigate traffic. For instance, one VLAN services the ‘smart’ TVs and gives access for my lady friend when she comes to visit. She apparently likes ads and crap hogging her screen’s real estate. I have tried to get her to listen to reason, but as soon as there is an issue, it becomes an exercise in figuring out what is blocking her unfettered access. So I want that totally separate from traffic destined in and out of my server. Then I have a VLAN for some 25 security cameras, and a VLAN for server and lab operations. I make no Guest accommodations for Wi-Fi tho. You are either trusted, or not.

It might be overly complicated, but I like to 'keep ‘em separated’, and it seems to work just jammy, so there’s that.

parents and their friends telling me Internet will never take

As a septuagenarian, I have tried to distance myself from that way of thinking. It’s a very isolationist type of mentality and it does not fit into my ‘wide eyed, boyish, enthusiasm’ for technology.

Do they have some sort of speed degradation forced by the firmware?

That’s a technical level that is beyond my realm of experience. I have not noticed any real world degradation of speed. However, My Book units are usually WD Green SMR consumer grade HDDs or high capacity drives that have lower sustained write performance than desktop CMR drives, so it may impact sustained/random small write workloads, but I have no data to support that either way.

I wasn’t degrading. There are many nice , well equipped racks and there are smaller form factor setups, of which if they serve a good purpose and perform as expected, that’s all that matters. It’s always interesting to me the ingenious ways selfhosters will come up with to solve certain constraints, or maybe problems. With 3d printing we can make our own racks, and pieces parts for field expedient modifications or repairs.

When I was a wee lad, I could have never dreamed how far technology has brought us. I’ve watched a fad called the internet completely envelope the planet. It’s pretty wild man.

My Beelink now looks like some Frankenstein creation

Reminds me of what I did to my CoolerMaster Cosmos case. I was getting high temps on my two CPUs even at idle. So I took two 4’/300 cfm box fans, 3d printed a scoop, cut the door to the case with a dremel, mounted the two fans right over each CPU, mounted the scoop on the outside of the case door. Worked like a charm. I even dropped one in the drive bay. Temps run about 98 deg F per CPU on average.

but from what I see there’s no way to have both commercial VPN and my local network WG active at the same time

Does you commercial VPN have a Kill Switch? I had trouble getting both Tailscale and commercial VPN to play nice together until I turned of the Kill Switch.

After seeing some of you guy’s set ups, I don’t feel so bad. LOL

Nice!! I love seeing ‘field expedient modifications.’ I have an old CoolerMaster Cosmos case. The thing is a monster. I didn’t like the way the fan cooling was operating so I took two 4"/300 cfm fans and mounted them to blow over the two processors of my mobo. Then I printed a scoop for the case and used that as the intake. Works well, better than the OEM configuration and keeps my processors running at a cool 98 deg +/-.

You need to make a ‘I’ve been busy’ post.

OK you’ll be able to tell I haven’t bought a graphics card in a while, so…wtf kind of graphics card is that? It’s manly for sure…almost phallic in nature. What do you do with it besides ‘Any ting you wan’.

Very nice. You guys with all the toys. I bet she’s fun tho.

Man, GTFO with that hot mess… I’m jealous really. I’m getting a chub just thinking about it.

booooo! /s looks awesome bro. It’s too clean tho.

Love it man. Nice use of non relational equipment.
