Thank you! I’ll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

This is one of the ones I used

I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn’t impressed at all. It didn’t seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.

I’m not sure I understand the question. They are used to encrypt traffic and prove that the entity hosting the site hasn’t changed by using a digital signature. These two together make it so third parties can’t read the traffic coming through. This is a requirement for modern internet. Otherwise your passwords wouldn’t be a secret because literally anyone would see them.

Letsencrypt provides free certificates. It’s very easy to get one from them.

Oh right a web interface. That makes more sense. 😅

Yeah, I really do need to get around to setting that up…

Oh, I don’t have a GUI for my server. But I’m sure they have a command line interface for it, right?

Ugh. I really gotta switch to this. I started out by using Apache because that’s what I use for work, and just what I know. I create the configs and get the certificates from Let’s Encrypt manually. But now I have so many services that switching to something else feels daunting. But it’s kind of a pain in the ass every time I add something new.

I restored from a backup when I swapped to a bigger SSD. Worked perfectly first try. I use rsnapshot for backups.

Oh, got it. That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, that’s how I do it now. I just mount the network drive on each PC and they can all access the same files. I’m just wondering if there’s a usecase that syncthing has that my workflow doesn’t that I just can’t think of because I haven’t used it.

I have a network drive that I put all my documents on. Would using syncthing have a better workflow than that?

I set up AirMessage, and it is very glitchy. I can’t message some people because I get an error every time. You need to own a Mac to set it up, and it needs to always be awake. So if you have a laptop, it doesn’t really work. There is an option to give your apple login info to a third party, and they will run it on their Mac, but I don’t trust that at all.

I watched a coworker run rm -rf * from / as root the other day. He started wondering why things weren’t working. I told him what he just did, but he didn’t get it at all. Luckily it was a VM that could be recreated from a template. He probably lost 30 minutes of time. But it could have been waaaay worse if it wasn’t a disposable VM.

Idk, but this issue was discovered by “Trellix” which is McAfee.

I wonder if McAfee changing their name to Trellix to escape how much the general public hates them will work better than Comcast rebranding as Xfinity.

I learned by reading other Dockerfiles. They’re very simple in theory. You start from a base image using the “FROM” command. You copy all your code files using the “COPY” command. Run any environment set up with the “RUN” command. Then execute your program with the “ENTRYPOINT” command. For very basic services, that’s enough.

There are definitely some quirks that really you’ll only learn by trying it yourself and making mistakes. But I say just do it. If you know all about Linux systems like with file permissions and such, it won’t be too bad.

I used to host Plex on a Synology. It’s okay, but it struggles when skipping around. And downloads for offline viewing would fail almost always. I have had a much better experience since switching to my old gaming PC with a GPU.
