People said it back then too. The ad and tracking industry will always invade more and more of our privacy. When will there be enough tracking to make them stop and be happy? Never. Never is the only answer.

I think you are still learning… What you say doesn’t make sense, so I think you may have misunderstood what happened.

Now let’s see Paul Allens switches.

I use Asus routers, they have good hardware. But then I install Fresh Tomato on them to give them full professional routing capabilities. It’s amazing what’s included in that, including vlan support, dns masquerade support etc etc.

Didn’t know that, thanks for clarification!

Then I suggest two piholes. :)

Yeah this is the next best option, but a secondary pihole is the best, so you still get the dns blocking while the first one is down.

You listed cloudflare now (1.1.1.1) but I prefer https://www.quad9.net/ for the privacy and security.

Proxmox with latest Debian i guess, but all virtual machines are on Ubuntu 23.10. It’s just the easiest to install things on, and have a semi-recent kernel, even though I would never use it on the desktop.

I actually wanted to run arch in the vms but I couldn’t find any image with the latest arch. The latest I found was with kernel 6.3.

Yeah in a cluster with consul. Consul gives automatic service discovery and works with traefik so I don’t even have to care which node my service is running on since traefik knows how to find it using consul.

For the storage I went with a simple solution. I installed nfs on a machine running in nomad, and then configured the nomad clients to mount that disk. All of this with ansible so I don’t have to do it more than once.

I really like self hosting too but Kubernetes is overkill in complexity. I use nomad. :)

I never thought of using nfs over wireguard. Very nice.

I thought it was quite simple but it depends on your experience of course. It’s a single binary and a single config file, so I felt it was soo much simpler.

You can buy a good udemy course for 10 dollars too which really helps in the beginning.

You really should look into Nomad: https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes

I sat up a nomad cluster in my home lab just a few days ago, on top of instances in proxmox. Works really well and is simple to maintain and understand.

Hmm, can you have absolute paths like that in docker compose? Ive always used paths relative to the current working dir.

Docker is amazing, you are late to the party :)

It’s not a fad, it’s old tech now.

I don’t even know what a heic image is.

Edit: It’s a apple picture format from their cameras.

Don’t you get a short break in connectivity as the ip changes?

They can’t because Googles empire is built on bait and switch tactics, and if the product is open source, nobody can bait and switch it.

Open source actually guarantees that all shitty behaviors from big tech doesn’t work at all.

So many weird issues… Thanks for posting this.

Who would do this…

Tailscale is super simple. Install it on two computers you want to be able to talk to eachother, doesn’t matter where they are as long as they have internet access. Authenticate with Tailscale on both computers and you are done.
