That still wouldn’t get past your firewall

All of my services run on LXC containers. Some files and configs are backed up to NAS and offsite. The containers are snapshotted in their entirety before I do any work on them. A snapshot takes 5 seconds to make and causes no downtime. If I regret a change or mess it up, I can restore the snapshot in under a minute at the cost of some seconds of downtime.
My only non-container machines are my desktop (doesn’t count), my NAS and the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor is very clean and wouldn’t be much fuss to reinstall and the NAS is literally just Debian with NFS. All of these have a regular rsync which runs to backup the important files.
By having it be a container
First of all, thanks for pretending you know me. That’s cool.
Second, I’ve been buying on bandcamp up until Epic bought it. I have principles and one of those is that I don’t support Epic.
I kind of miss Unity in the same way I miss Windows XP; I would never use it now but it has a place in my heart.
Maybe I’ll start buying music again
I’ve been “on” linux for a decade and even ran it on my desktop without dualbooting for months at a time back in the Ubuntu 16 days. A few months ago I’d had enough of the Microsoftisms and installed straight Debian with i3wm on my desktop with intentions of dualbooting Windows for the rare graphical work I do. Maybe once a month. I managed to boot that thing 8 times, none without issues, before it finally stopped booting alltogether and I spent 14 hours yesterday trying to reinstall it to no success. It would commit suicide on second boot consistently and I said well dog darnit then. I guess I have to bite this bullet and learn how to do my graphical workflow on Linux.
Honestly, I should have done that sooner. I’m now Adobe and Windows free and I have literally no reason to go back. There’s nothing I need or miss. All my games work (thanks valve) and all my creative tools are here in some capacity. There aren’t many bugs I encounter daily in i3wm, and none are showstoppers.
Shoutout to Blender for being superior to industry standards, and Darktable for being good enough.
Or they see the writing on the wall
Well, obviously they don’t want you to!
You sound like you have zero costumer contact, thank god
we are not obliged to accept it here.
He wasn’t obligated to respond at all. He choose to be unchill. He wasn’t even the person they replied to, and neither are you the person I replied to. Seems to me like you guys just wanna complain!
bro chill
Subsonic is also a protocol (and opensubsonic) which supports many other clients, if you want. Personally my music collection is just hosted on gonic, a server-only subsonic implementation and I stream it to whatever clients I want.
I don’t think you understand. I know privacy extension is for outbound and not inbound, but what use is it on a server?
I think there’s some misunderstanding
I get how IPv6 works, I got a /48 from my ISP. The problem is that I have some 15 devices here that I have to refer to in DNS and either I have to change their static IPs or I have to change their IPs in DNS if the prefix ever changes (it shouldn’t, because I pay for them to not do that). My laptop, phone and desktop do not get a static IPv6 and use the privacy extension. Is that not how you’re supposed to do it?
if your prefix ever changes you’ll have to update it everywhere
I mean that’s a good point but I’m paying money to not have my prefix changed. If I were to do it the intended way using DNS, how would I set up the DNS to be prefix agnostic? How would I reference devices in the firewall?
Very useful, but I don’t understand concept 1, “Don’t pick numbers”.
If I’m right, it’s basically saying don’t do stuff manually, just let the computer do it. I kind of disagree with this. All of my fixed devices have a fixed IP that I manually assigned and derived from the original v4 schema I also have. For example 192.168.x.y becomes prefix::y
Am I misunderstanding something?
Hosting videogames on a dedicated box for me and the boys when I was 16 got me more interested in networking and when I had finished my mostly unrelated education, I pivoted hard to IT. I don’t currently work in IT and I don’t know if I ever will again because my handicap and location make it hard to find jobs but essentially:
Self-hosting came first, then came the tech ‘background’.
