IT nerd
Thank you! I haven’t heard of racknerd/low end box, I’ll have to check them out. Yeah I’m not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.
I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I’m a bit worried for my end
How much bandwidth is used via the VPS in this instance? I’ve seen most VPS in the USA have a limit of 1TB of bandwidth.
How many users are you sharing with?
I know Hetzner does 20TB bandwidth, but that is only EU servers as far as I know.
Ex-hiring manager here.
We preferred certs that were tied to specific software solutions.
So the A+, Linux+, Sec+, LPIC, etc. were fine but those are generalized.
We looked for Red Hat certs, vmware, aws, etc. because that was the software we used.
Of course general Linux skills are sought after, but less training was required for the specific certs to a certain sense.
I used to be a hiring manager for a Linux team(I enthusiastically stepped down because upper management sucks) and we valued tech certs, especially if you could talk the talk.
We had dudes come in with degrees in CS or Cyber and had zero command line knowledge. Of course there were more knowledgable folks but… yeah. Degrees weren’t required either just “desired”.
We never required, but definitely listed specific certs that were relevant like the RHCSA. However, if you had like the A+ and some years of help desk experience we’d interview you and we got some good hires that way because they hadn’t learned bad habits by then like some…more experienced applicants had.
And another thing I have not heard yet. Dokploy looks really enticing just from a brief look at their site, I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to look into. Thank you!
How long have you been running this type of setup?
How is swarm support/integration with Dokploy? Are you able to initiate the swarm and also connect other docker nodes to that swarm all through the webgui or does Dokploy just see and attach to the swarm after its been setup? Are you able to manage it all through the gui? Swing/motion containers to other nodes, etc.
I’ll definitely need to deploy it in a test environment and see how it all works. Thank you again!
Glad to hear I’m not crazy with different distros haha. I wanted to be able to have different “enviroments” to keep familiar with release schedules, package managers, and just the flow of the distro. I’ve been using nothing but Debian/Ubuntu in my homelab for ~10 years now, at work we use RHEL, and for my desktops I’m on Arch. I’ll have to look into pinning.
I’ve never heard of Nomad(love the name) so I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to research. Looking at their site it looks solid, but want to weigh my options once I’ve loomed at everything.
And thanks for your comment! I’ve been doing this a long time and nothing “tickles” my brain more than something in my homelab breaking and I have to figure out how to fix it and then prevent it going forward.
Hmm, I’ll have to play around with it a bit more then to see if I can trigger it.
My only gripe is the browser autofill. Sometimes it triggers correctly and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve noticed if I let KeePass add in a new login itself after I’ve manually entered it then it’s much more receptive to suggesting that login correctly going forward. So I’m tempted to create a brand new database and login everything manually so KeePass will create the database entries itself to fix my gripe.
I’ve been using KeePass with Syncthing for 5+ years now and I think I’ve only had a sync issue once in all this time.
Granted I do make sure I only use the database on one device at a time (so not making edits on desktop and my phone at the same time) and I’m using XC and DX clients not the OG KeePass program.
I’m curious what is causing sync issues to make it “common”, I use my db every day.
Yup, been doing this combo for 5-6 years now.
I use KeePassXC on desktop and KeePassDX on Android. No issues whatsoever.
I do have a NAS so that’s my “always on” device for Syncthing. Everything syncs up within like 10-15 seconds when a device connects.
I also use a key file as a pseudo 2FA that I keep on a flash drive, so you’d need my master password and my key file to unlock the database.
Well yeah, it’s Costco.
You have a Costco membership for bulk savings.
You can save by buying bulk because you have the space/storage at home for it.
If you have the space for bulk, you probably also have the space for a big ass TV.
Makes zero sense for Costco to carry small TVs.
If you don’t have space at home, you can’t buy bulk, so there’s no point having a Costco membership.
Just had a conversation at work about using Linux full time. Coworkers asking me what issues I have and what games I can play.
I mean it’s not all sunshine and rainbows…but I told them my Start Menu opens every time I need it. I don’t have explorer.exe randomly crashing. I can search in my Start Menu for things and they actually come up properly. Oh and with btrfs snapshots I can update whenever and if it breaks I just rollback and wait for a fix. Which has happened…once in the last 5 months of using Cachy+Plasma.
I feel like I can actually use my computer now. With Windows I dreaded doing updates. With Linux I update whenever I want and it doesn’t fucking bother me at all.
Idk who’s spending $200 on it. It’s $100 for the basic, but it goes on sale often. Same with Ancestry’s test. They always go on sale.
Using Mediawiki here.
I have obsidian and tried using it, but my personal workflow for my homelab just doesn’t…work with it? Idk, it’s just easier to throw it into a private wiki.
I still use obsidian but for personal life stuff.
This is what I was looking into recently. I just want to replace my shitty Spectrum router.
I was looking at Topton N150s on AliExpress, but $250+(tax/shipping) is terrible, with no RAM.
I saw people using the Lenovo m720q/m920q with a pcie 4 port, so I’m leaning towards that.
We’re about to get fiber in the next year or two, so I want to get something that can handle 1g up and down.
There’s a lot of options, none perfect, but none terrible.
Want a real schizo theory?
People are going to use the ID verification thing to see which accounts are child accounts, pull all details for those accounts and make a database of children’s accounts, and then sell that information to bad actors who plan to traffic children.
And I absolutely hate Gnome. But thank god we have over a dozen DEs to choose from. One of the great things about Linux is user choice.
All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus…
Doesn’t detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.
Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that’s like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It’s glorious
The average user trying to switch to Linux? YES, they would.
The average user like my mom? No, because she sure as shit doesn’t even know what Linux is nor how to make a bootable USB drive.
I’m sick and tired of this cop out answer of the “average” user.
This is like someone buying a car. Do you want to get a lemon? Sure, buy whatever “looks good” OR you do some RESEARCH and figure out what car to get from reliability reports.
Do you think a Mac user wanting to switch to Windows won’t do any research?
Supposedly Linus switched to Kubuntu, but we’ll have to wait for part 2 to see how that turned out. But from the WAN show I don’t think it went well.
My biggest issue is that there is zero information of what everyone is actually running.
“I’m running Kubuntu”, cool, what version? LTS or STS? What kernel? What version of Mesa drivers? How did you even install the OS? Ext4? Manual partitioning? Are you using swap? Is steam installed via flatpak, snap, or the deb?
But nope it’s “lol I installed pop again, shits still broken, Linux sucks! I’m cursed!”
And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.
Thank you!
