We would need to know your DNS query path and whether you are querying from inside or outside your private IP space. If you are querying against public servers, then that is completely public.

I registered mydomain.com as my primary router’s domain

Routers don’t typically deal with dns except to forward requests upstream or hand out server addresses as dhcp options. Can you elaborate what you mean by your “primary router’s domain”?

I had some friction with Jessie to stretch and a little again from bookworm to Trixie. Nothing I couldn’t solve, but there are still a few edge cases that aren’t handled.

This is fine, but k8s is already a big ask for homelab and self hosting. And kamal requires a basic fluency in ruby, which is… not the most intuitive interpreter. I say this coming from years of managing chef.

When they bought Sun, they:

• killed Solaris, effectively
• tried to kill zfs too
• nearly killed mysql with licensing audits
• became borderline evil with licensing practices
• acted like complete assholes in court, holding up cases for years

Calling it “disobedience” is a clear indication that following the big corporations is considered “normal”.

Stop thinking like that.

It’s YOUR INFORMATION. You can be harmed by its abuse and you already know this.

I do not “disobey” anyone by self-hosting. The information belongs to ME. I alone have rights to its access and control. If google doesn’t like it, they can fuck off.

I believe the joke is that Nintendo are aggressively litigious.

Ah, well that’s one I don’t have any data on.

I feel the same way, and honestly, I’m happy to see others do too.

I’m almost done my exit from google, just the actual email left. Calendar, map data, photos, everything in drive is gone to my private infrastructure.

it’s the future

No doubt about that. It’s been “the future” for more than a decade. But even 5 years ago, Wayland was a complete dumpster fire if you strayed outside average use. So yeah, I’ve heard this before.

Of course, I had to turn that protection off because Steam is still X and my controllers back paddles popped up a permission dialog

I understand that this is a real sticking point with some use cases, I hope this is resolved soon. I’m definitely fuzzy on the workings of portals, compositors, input, etc.

Am I doing a good job convincing you?

This is the overwhelming response to my questions about Wayland, and it’s weird. Wayland isn’t a fancy new car I need to use to stay relevant. I work in terminals and a browser, Xfce is fine.

As I mentioned in another response, I am not trying to use the newest coolest thing, I work every day in Linux and I need my setup to be stable and predictable.

And no one needs to convince me, when xfce is finally discontinued or unusable, I’ll have to find a similar Wayland alternative. Nothing compels me to switch yet.

I am not trying to suggest that the old way is better, we have needed to move on from x11 years ago.

That is a good point, fair enough. I don’t really need this, so it doesn’t cross my radar.

Thanks for the response!

it’s hard to imagine needing to explain why Wayland has been better

I don’t really understand what you mean here, sounds like you’re describing a vibe, but that’s valid.

I have a multi-monitor setup with xfce and while it’s nothing to write home about, it works. Of course, I don’t need HDR. I guess my use case isn’t very demanding that way.

I have a wayland/gnome tablet because touchscreen, and I don’t see an appreciable difference in startup time, bit I have no empirical data on this.

I appreciate your response.

I am happy that keyboard and other I/o are being treated as separate from a security perspective.

Xorg fans

I am not as impressed by this comment snippet.

I am not a “fan” of xorg, and you should absolutely stop looking at it this way. This isn’t a matter of having a favourite car manufacturer. I am not commenting to convince everyone that xorg is “better”.

I simply use xorg. I have work to do, I use Linux to do it. My most stable and predictable configuration is using xfce, it just stays out of the way. I don’t care about ricing. I don’t GAF about GPU accelerated terminal emulators, especially when they bonk trying to connect to Solaris tty. I don’t care about HDR. If you do care about these things, that’s great, I’m not trying to diminish that.

I have been using Linux for almost 30 years, professionally for almost 25. I have been through Mir. I have somehow made it through alsa transition to pulseaudio, which sucked. I have been through Unity, the ffmpeg debacle, systemd, ndis wrappers, netplan, etc. Some of these new tooling options are better than previous ones, some aren’t. They effectively get the job done, and that’s the bottom line.

Never in my Linux experience have I seen such a sudden push to not only move everyone to new tooling, but to cast everyone using the old tools as somehow “refusing to move on”, especially in the last 2 or 3 years.

There will come a time when you will see your current tooling will be left behind and you’ll be in my situation. Have some grace about it.

And stop calling me an xorg “fan”.

and with more features.

Look, if you’re gonna tell x11 folks to provide examples of how Wayland is not meeting their needs, you need to meet the same bar and give a few examples of what these features are.

This is honestly what is holding me back from going all in on wayland… I don’t see any benefit.

Typically this is achieved in x11 with x forwarding. Performance won’t be great.

However: you may want to investigate using a hypervisor and a VM for each seat, and a dedicated GPU for each seat. To share GPU between seats, you will need a GPU and motherboard that support sr-iov, which is hard to find, hard to use, and expensive.

I built a hyper-converged box like this and I can tell you the GPU isn’t the obstacle, it’s peripherals. Mice, keyboard, video output, that is what people want to be flexible.

I used lastfm until about 2015, listenbrainz is way better.

Last.fm is complete trash now that it’s under new ownership. They will not listen to users who point out that artists with the same name are mixed into one artist.

Biosphere is one example, check the shouts. No one wants to hear terrible chiptune music when they’re trying to listen to ambient.

Thanks for the response.

I focus more on each trip and like to examine location data not by time, but but by excursion. I use another self-hosted service that does this well, but going back manually to find photos to attach to each trip is somewhat tedious.

This function is what interested me in reitti; I thought I could set up immich integration an pull in photos from the time frame of each hike, flight, drive or ride.

But this seems like a fundamentally different approach to GPS documentation, so I don’t think there is room for a shift of this magnitude in reitti.

Looks good.

Is there any way to list and inspect individual tracks/trails, or is reitti meant for something else?

You need to chill out and not get so worked up about someone calling out your promotion of honeypots in a forum where the vast majority don’t even know the difference between DNS and PKI, and aren’t clear on the delineation between their LAN and the internet.

There’s nothing to solve, it’s not a CTF.

You misunderstand, I’m not implying your network is a CTF. I mean go to your local security group and watch how pen testers work. I can tell you they certainly do not fall for “tarpits”, even the fairly new kids.

Ultimately, you can do what you want, I obviously can’t stop you.

it will get stuck on even legitimate pages

what

Please go to a local ctf, even just a high school-level one.
