Ah I’ll have to look into this then…gotta find a VPS that will hopefully have a Los Angeles location and have decent traffic bandwidth.

Honestly never thought to use a VPS like that before. We’ve all seen using a VPS as a VPN exit node. Do you run into quota limits on the VPS or Tailscale side? Too many requests/data?

I’m gonna have to look into this for fun lol

Could you explain your setup a bit more? Because my understanding is:

Let’s say you have a blog website in your homelab. To access the blog you have to: you go to your VPS’s hostname/IP, from there the VPS forwards your request over tailscale to your homelab which then responds with your blog website?

If that’s the case, why even have the VPS and instead just use tailscale to access your homelab directly?

Unless you intend to have the VPS be a load balancer in some way? Or a filter/firewall? Or you can’t do a static IP for your homelab but you want it to be publicly accessible?

Just trying to understand why you’re doing it this way. I love seeing all the crazy ways people can set things up like this lol

Oh for sure, no doubt about that. Just like the post office date marking on mail being changed. It’s all bullshit the Trump administration is trying to get away with.

Still don’t have my REAL ID, I have my passport. Zero reason to get one until I’m forced to in 2028 when I renew.

Personally at this point I think passports should be free for every US Citizen to get, or at least the card one.

In my experience, people will move with their interests.

I’ve been using reddit for probably 10-15 years. I used to send links to my wife(then girlfriend), but she never used reddit.

In the last year she made a reddit account after moving off of tiktok.

Now I’m on Lemmy pretty much full time because I prefer smaller communities and more specific topics, also less normies.

Trying to browse reddit is like talking with boomers and AI now. No thanks.

You can’t help morons unfortunately.

My father is Gen 1 of immigrant parents. His parents HATED Trump. Yet he voted for Trump all three times.

I have a GenZ sister-in-law that uses ChatGPT for relationship advice. Like copies and pastes responses from men into ChatGPT and asks what they’re “really saying” or “what their intentions are”, instead of you know, JUST ASKING THE PERSON OUTRIGHT.

We’re fucked

TIL there is a whole ass mediawiki for explaining XKCD comics.

Kind of, TrueNAS has “CORE” which is FreeBSD and “SCALE” which is Linux.

If you’re on CORE 13.X you can actually side-grade over to SCALE.

CORE is in maintenance only and SCALE is the path forward. So you can still get some updates on CORE I think, but everyone should be switching over to SCALE or using SCALE from here on out.

Proxmox recommends to not install anything directly on the proxmox host/baremetal.

Personally I would set this up as:

Proxmox installed on whatever single disk or raid 1 array.

Create a TrueNAS(or whatever OS you want) VM inside Proxmox. Mount the rest of the drives directly to the TrueNAS VM via Proxmox’s interface.

In the TrueNAS VM take the drives that were mounted directly to it and setup your array and pool(s) to your preference.

Now, I’d say you have two paths from this point:

• Inside the TrueNAS VM use their tools to create a VM within TrueNAS and use that for your arr stack.

OR

• Go back to Proxmox and create another VM or container and setup your arr stack in that container and point it to your TrueNAS via network mounts using internal networking from within proxmox(virtual bridge with a virtual LAN).

Either option has pros and cons. Doing everything inside TrueNAS will be a bit more simple, but you do complicate your TrueNAS setup and you’re at the mercy of how TrueNAS manages VMs(backups, restores, etc.). On the reverse with Proxmox, setting up the vmbridge and doing the network mounts is more work initially, but keeping the arr stack in a Proxmox VM/container lets you do direct snapshots and backups of the arr stack, and if you ever need to rebuild it or change it to another arr style set of tools then you can blow away the Proxmox VM and start fresh and resetup the network mounts.

Or don’t do any of the above and just install TrueNAS on the box directly as the baremetal OS and do everything inside TrueNAS.

0 bytes free is a broken environment. So that requires a fix during moratorium IMO.

Mint 21 still has support until 2027, so not exactly needed…but I get it when you only see certain family members during specific times of the year.

I’m just saying doing a full migration from ESXI to Proxmox and having to backup all VMs and import them or recreate and doing this during the holidays…I’d rather just sit on the couch and enjoy family time than be stuck in my garage or glued to my laptop.

Upgrading a family member’s laptop while shooting the shit with everyone while drinking a beer or something is just fine. Don’t need 100% focus, you’re good there man.

At work we have a nearly 2 week moratorium that covers Christmas and New Years. We do zero changes unless something breaks on its own. So everyone can take time off without worrying too much.

So I do the same for my homelab. I’ll spin up new stuff for fun(new docker containers to try out new apps), but I don’t touch my stable stuff. No reboots, no updates, no image pulls, nothing.

That’s why I have a reverse osmosis system and use it to refill my plastic arrowhead bottles!

Conflating 1% of Linux users also being 1% of revenue is pretty asinine lol

The regular average joe isn’t going to switch on their own. The average person sees Windows and MacBook as their two options for a laptop.

Also, Linux isn’t a replacement for Windows. It’s its own thing, with its own issues but also advantages.

And most young people don’t have their own computers growing up anymore, it’s all phones and tablets and in the USA apple has won that race.

I wonder where they got 100hr?

I wonder if there’s some metric they’re going off of where the majority of the subscriber base only plays less than 100hrs and the “abusers” or whales play over the 100hr mark.

100hr / 30 days is 3.3 hours a day. Which as a father of two… I’d be lucky to get that much in a day.

100hr / 20 days(5 days a week) is 5 hours a day.

100hr / 8 days (weekends only gaming) is 12.5 hours a day.

None of these are outrageous and probably are the “average” user of the service.

Now if you’re doing 8 or 12 hours a day for 30 days, that’s 240-360 hours a month. Which is pretty much gaming full time.

I think 100 hours is a weird number to land on. I think 120 hours makes more sense (4 hours a day over 30 days).

I do expect Nvidia to lower the hours over time. Expect to see 80 hours or 50 hours soon IMO.

They have their own version of curl built and they love to never update it. There’s active vulnerabilities with their version of curl going on 6+ months now.

And you can’t update it manually otherwise it breaks Windows as other libraries built into Windows relies on that specific version they’re running.

Nah this isn’t anything compared to 2000-2010. Or even earlier.

Everything was being pirated. Now? We have services like Steam and Spotify that allow every day people to have access to vast amounts of media for cheap.

And for a while movies and TV shows were getting there with Netflix, but then capitalism took over and created cable 2.0.

We’re definitely swinging back to the piracy side, but most people have no idea how to “do” piracy anymore. And those people will just stream pirated content from sketchy sites instead.

Whatever I need I either can find an open source alternative or I just pirate the commercial stuff.

These companies have more than enough money, my $10-$300/month sub ain’t gonna change a thing for them

I’m already trying out LibreWolf on desktop and IronFox on mobile.

So far everything is working, probably another week of testing/using and then I’ll just uninstall Firefox.
