I dont mean to be a bother, but recently i got wiregaurd setup so myself and my friends can access resources such as my server. i have it setup for the client and the server to only allow 192.168.8.170. To be tunneled, so for example my friends can google and resolve DNS just fine and its all in there network, then when they want to access the server it will be at 192.168.8.170 and the docker services will run on ports for example 8080:80. and to be honest it works great for me and friend 1. but for friend 2 DNS doesnt resolve???

he can ping 9.9.9.9 he can acess the services on 192.168.8.170 but he cant resolve DNS when wiregaurded in.

his network has ipv6 and ipv4, my network only has ip4 and friend 1's network is ipv4 only. do you smart people on the internet think ipv6 could be an issue? friend 2 is running linux mint if that matters. I know a little about networking but by no means am an network engineer.

its a slight issue friend 2 really wants to be able to google and play com

Hello,

Recently, I've been interested in self-hosting various services after coming across Futo's "How to Self Host Your Life Guide" on their Wiki. They recommend using OpenVPN, but I opted for WireGuard instead as I wanted to learn more about it. After investing many hours into setting up my WireGuard configuration in my Nix config, I planned to replace Tailscale with WireGuard and make the setup declarative.

For context, this computer is located at my residence, and I want to be able to VPN into my home network and access my services.

At first, this setup would be for personal use only, but I soon realized that I had created a Docker stack for me and

I recently learned about a great search engine called SearxNG. it can be self hosted and is a metaseach engine, AKA it uses everyone else's search engine and puts the top results out of all of them in your search results. I instantly loved this because it gave me AD free/ Sponsored free search results, aswell as the added benefit of keeping my search query's on my local machine. However i then realized, it asks other search engines like google and bing for querys. I did not like that, so i setup Gluetun as a network host in docker, which then takes all searx querys and tunnels them through the VPN. making it harder to figure out what im searching compared to my raw IP adress. i have the DockerFile and thought i would share. anything with $$$ needs to be changed.

https://pastebin.com/NfHcUWLs link to dockerfile

Was watching this and thought id share. It is very intreasting. this video topics cover, recommended mobile operating systems. chat apps, smart TV's and modern cars.

all of which like to track and spy on the end user, and what some good alternatives are.

So recently it was brought to my attention about a new(ish) filesystem being created. BcacheFS has some really cool features, some for example are

 undefined

        Copy on write (COW) - like zfs or btrfs
    Full data and metadata checksumming
    Multiple devices
    Replication
    Erasure coding (not stable)
    Caching, data placement
    Compression
    Encryption
    Snapshots
    Nocow mode
    Reflink
    Extended attributes, ACLs, quotas
    Scalable - has been tested to 100+ TB, expected to scale far higher 
    High performance, low tail latency
    Already working and stable, with a small community of users


  

I learned about BcacheFS as i am currently going through an Gentoo install and wanted to try out a new filesystem. i originally went for ZFS until i learned there is no active maintainer for OpenZFS on Gentoo as of now. and looked at Btrfs and eventually found BcacheFS. The features look very amazing, however i couldnt find many people daily driving it? i saw a few posts on Arch

For about 4-5 years, I have been off the deep end of Gnu/Linux operating systems. During this time period, many things in my life have changed, new social groups, and friends. After the social rebirth and exodus from high school, a few friends stuck around. Granted, this group is smaller than usual but is more closely intertwined. And yes, I know that's already off-topic for a Linux-based community. But when I like to tell a story, I like to paint a full picture. However, I will try to cut out the fluff, but I digress.

So, like many others on this community of Unix-like operating system enthusiasts, I began the plunge from Windows to Linux. First, I originally started with Manjaro because I learned about it from my very first Linux install on a Raspberry Pi model B+. I used that for a few months and eventually used the "AUR". Much like Icarus, I flew too close to the sun, and my naivety of dependencies and the underlying parts of the OS reared its ugly head. To which, my system

So i recently learned about a distro that has popped up called venom linux. It's a sourced based distro using the package manager called "scratch"

I am very familiar with gentoo linux and this seems like it has heavy inspiration from the gentoo project. Its very cool to see another source based distro come into the picture. The unique part is it has 2 init systems currently, which are neither systemd or openrc?!?!

They are S6 and sysv Which i have never heard of until now. The install looks via similar to gentoo/classic distro install. Which consists of creating partition schemes and filesystems then extracting a archive of the base file.

Some of the main taking points are

"Minimal as possible

Customizable

No systemd (elogind or any part from it)

Centered Around smaller software

That means the lack of huge software like Gnome"

I thought this was a pretty neat project and wonder what other gentoo users think aswell as binary distro users

So i've been hosting a modded Minecraft server for my friends and me on weekends. While it's been a blast, I've noticed that our current setup using LAN has its limitations. My friends have been eagerly waiting for their next "fix" (i.e., when they can get back online), and I've been replying with a consistent answer: this Friday.

However, exploring cloud providers to spin up a replica of my beloved "Dog Town" Server was a costly endeavor, at least for a setup that's close to my current configuration. As a result, I've turned my attention to self-hosting a Minecraft server on my local network and configuring port forwarding.

To harden my server, I've implemented the following measures:

1. Added ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) for enhanced security.
2. Blocked all SSH connections except for the IP addresses of my main PC and LAN rig.
3. Enabled SSH public key authentication only.
4. Rebuilt all packages using a hardened GCC compiler.
5. Disabled root access via /etc/passwd.
6. Create

I recently conmented on a meme with a little personal experience and would like to know what you fine peoples take is?

Thanks!

So over the weekend me and the lads decided to play Mindustry (i think im addicted). Ive never been a fan of RTS games but Honestly been loads of fun. I usually play on the Ybox which is what i called by LAN rig. but sadly the motherboard kicked the bucket (it was a xeon 2697v3 14 core and a X99 machinist motherboard which ran gentoo). so i dug around in the closet to hopefully salvage game night and found 'yeee old reliable', so the cool part is mindustry has really low system requirements

Linux Minimum: Memory: 1 GB RAM Graphics: Anything with OpenGL 2.0 Support Storage: 200 MB available space

So me and the Bois played just like normal, except i was running 10+ year old hardware and you really couldnt tell the difference the system specs for the "shitboxPro" as named

As a advid user of lightburn for my business, this truely saddens me.

I loved being able to have the freedom to run linux and have 1st class support.

Lightburn states in this post, about how linux is less than 1℅ of there users. They also state it costs lots of money and time to develop for each distribution. To which i gotta ask WHY not just make a flatpak or distribute source to let the community package it. Like its kinda dumb to kill it off ive been using zoronOS for 3 years running my laser cutter! And it works bloody great!!!! The last version for linux will be 1.7 which will continue to work forever with a valid liscence. I do not plan to switch back to windows spyware or MAC overpriced Unix. I hope the people at lightburn reconsider in the future, There software is the best software for laser cutters period. And when buying my laser cutter (60watt omtech) i went out of my way to buy one with a rudia controller as it is compatible with lightburn.

I recently spent some time browsing my favorite website, Distrowatch.com, where they provide weekly news updates on the latest developments in the world of Linux distributions. This week, I noticed that a new distro had been added to their list: SDesk. Given its intriguing name, I decided to take a closer look and discovered that it utilizes a programming language called 'Blue'.

What caught my attention was that to use this Blue programming language, one must pay $131! As someone who values open-source principles, I found this surprising, especially since many Linux distributions are built on the idea of free and open collaboration.

Other websites also features links to a previous GitHub page for Blue, which was removed. Without knowing the original license used by that project, it's unclear whether using paid-for programming language in an open-source operating system would be legally acceptable. As I'm not a lawyer nor an expert online, I'd love to hear from anyone who might

but stackoverflow how i fixy the brokey!

swap feels like cheating

I have been messing with my raspberry pi 400 and stumbled across box86. This program converts x86 calls to arm. And it works pretty well, i got the orginal pvz (disk verison) running through wine and box 86! The game is slow on cutscenes but gameplay is suprisingly playable and was more playable then my first pc lmao!

Its crazy that a fanless 15watt arm chip can run old games this well! Compared to a pentium 4 thats is taking off.

Hello and good evening self hosters! so i recently new to self hosting, i just installed my CM3588 DIY NAS with a bunch of services which is very addicting!

but i digress, so i recently found out today that we pay $11 a month to rent our router for our house. Which i personally think is ridiculous! So i am looking into buying to own, not renting to burn money. However the router seems to get internet from the ISP through moCA which looking at router that support moCA are rather limiting in speeds and very expensive. So my query for this fine, fine community is if i were to buy a coax/moCA adapter that then coverts it to Ethernet and then plug it into my router and and then by proxy my access points. would it work, wifi 6E looks super nice and there are very few options that are very pricey for modem/router combos that support moCA.

I am open to alternatives and ideas, and please correct me if i made any mistakes on terminally or my diagram

thanks folks!

Edit--- my current router i

So for the last month-ish Ive been working at my new job as an injection mold operator, which has been rather interesting. I first thought of injection molding as a basic concept of hot plastic gets shot into a mold and gets ejected. But there is so much more that goes into injection molding. There is back-pressure 5 heating zones a TCU which helps the plastic cool in the mold before it is ejected. Then the eject pins extension length and speed. There is probably a lot more as-well but that's just to name a few. There is so many variables into running a injection molding machine, luckily the company i currently work for is teaching me everything and im trying to learn as much as i can (which is slightly overwhelming).The only real annoyance is the plastic smells quite a bit and i read all the MSDS's i can. Something i learned that was a neat tidbit is that plastics like Acetal and TPV, and many other co-polymers is they have alot of nasty stuff in them, and the nasty stuff is only rele
