SystemG ^{sadly doesn't exist}

The one I forgot, obviously.

Assuming they are work related tasks.

Sadly this doesn't stop fingerprinting, though it does make it a bit more difficult.

More like screams into the void

Jo dawg

Yeah it works great and is very secure but every time I create a new service it's a lot of copy paste boilerplate, maybe I'll put most of that into a nix function at some point but until then here's an example n8n config, as loaded from the main nixos file.

I wrote this last night for testing purposes and just added comments, the config works but n8n uses sqlite and probably needs some other stuff that I hadn't had a chance to use yet so keep that in mind.
Podman support in home-manager is also really new and doesn't support pods (multiple containers, one loopback) and some other stuff yet, most of it can be compensated with the extraarguments but before this existed I used pure file definitions to write quadlet/systemd configs which was even more boilerplate but also mostly copypasta.

DNS turns a domain name into an IP which can then be used to send data through your router, a dns server is the server which is used to do this conversion (www.google.com turns into an IP 1.2.3.4 (that isn't the actual IP of google)).

There are many dns servers, normally your local devices use your router as the dns server, which forwards it to your ISP which they further transfer it over global dns servers.

Alternatively you could use Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8) or cloudflares DNS server (1.1.1.1) but if the one on your router works then just use it.

nameserver is the same as DNS server

Tldr: set the router IP as your dns server, you only need this one.

....that's the valid response, does ping www.google.com work and curl www.google.com return a bunch of text?

If ping www.google.com doesn't work then your system isn't using the correct dns server, though your local dns server works (as seen by the prior dig).

If curl works then...you have a working internet connection, maybe check the browser settings for proxy or something.

That seems correct, don't change anything in there, try the command dig @<routerip> www.google.com or nslookup www.google.com <router ip> if the dig command is not found.

I use podman using home-manager configs, I could run the services natively but currently I have a user for each service that runs the podman containers. This way each service is securely isolated from each other and the rest of the system. Maybe if/when NixOS supports good selinux rules I'll switch back to running it native.

Hey now, you can also spend 20 pages of documentation and 10 pages of blogs/forums/github¹ and you can implement a whole nix module such that you only need to write a further 3 lines to activate the service.

1 Your brain can have a little source code, as a threat.

No one can ping 4.4.4.4, it doesn't answer pings.

This seems like a dns issue, check cat /etc/resolv.conf and try setting the dns server in Networkmanager to "8.8.8.8".

Gluster is EOL is my biggest takeaway.

...No really, has anyone used this warranty and if so, what does it actually do? (And I mean strictly home users)

Maybe they don't officially offer support for those PCs?
Not like they offer any actual support for home users anyways...

Did he stutter?

NVK seems to be moving way faster than I expected.
