  • You don’t need a protectli, even an old optiplex should be able to handle opnsense and/or a pi hole. You would just want to have 2+ NICS.

    Or if it needs to be low powered there are definitely other options.

  • Look, I never said you were wrong man. Clearly you probably have a lot more experience than i do. Which is why I said what I said. Because I personally believe Proxmox is way easier for someone who is a casual like me. That’s all.

    Edit: Also, though it doesn’t really matter, I don’t use LXC.

  • I’m going to disagree with this. I’ve setup everything in one Debian server before and it became unwieldy to keep in check when you’re trying new things, because you can end up with all kinds of dependencies and leftover files from shit that you didn’t like.

    I’m sure this can be avoided with forethought and more so if you’re experienced with Debian, but I’m going to assume that OP is not some guru and is also interested in trying new things, and that’s why he’s asked this question.

    Proxmox is perfectly fine. For many years I had an OMV VM for my file server and another server for my containers. If you don’t like what you’ve done it is much easier to just remove one VM doing one thing and switch to some other solution.

  • I would check out serverpartdeals as they’re pretty reputable. But for any used drive, I would make sure that you have a limited warranty or at least some sort of return policy. Once you get the drive, run badblocks on it, which will check for… bad blocks.

  • Looks like jellyfin has an api. I’m sure that could be leveraged. Just would need to have a way to send over api requests. You mentioned JavaScript, but I could see this being done in maybe DJango instead if you’re familiar with python. Though the learning curve for Django is a beast in itself imo

  • I had a less technical savvy coworker putting together a raspi for something, emulation I think. And he was notoriously cheap, he told me he got a micro SD from China for a suspiciously low price.

    Well during this endeavor, he would keep asking me about random errors he was seeing. And I kept saying bro it is that cheap SD card you bought. He wouldn’t hear it.

    Eventually, he tried out another SD card and sure enough, no more weird errors.

    1. If the average of an electric car is 3-6k that means that is it sometimes above the 5,000 limit, am I wrong?
    2. You just did a whataboutism with this undercarriage thing which is irrelevant
    3. Yes, let’s send the pickup truck drivers to their death and do a fake sob about it, yeah? You feel good about that?
  • The article literally says that the problem will just get worse as we move to electric cars since they’re heavier.

    I dislike people having useless pickup trucks as much as the next guy, but I don’t think they deserve to die either. Or how about semi drivers? You know, a crucial part of our delivery infrastructure?

    Maybe take the time to read next time and think with the smart part of your brain.

  • .local is definitely local but it’s common for it to be used with mDNS primarily. To the second part of your question, yes that’s correct, since it will be reserved it will not be any public DNS server, even if it did look outside it wouldn’t find anything.

  • Sure. Though I’m not an expert on mDNS or anything. It stands for multi cast DNS. In a normal scenario, when your PC tries to connect to a local resource at its hostname it will use a local DNS server (or its own cache). It’s like a phone book. I know who I’m looking for, I just need to look in the phone book and see what their IP is. With mDNS there is no server. You’ll have a service that will plan to respond at a particular .local hostname, so like jellyfin.local (this is just an example, I don’t know if it has mDNS) but that isn’t registered on a server. Instead when your PC wants to reach jellyfin it will send a multi-cast to the other local devices and say “ok, I’m looking for some guy named jellyfin.local, which one of y’all is that?” And the jellyfin server will respond and say “yo what up, this is my ip address”

    So anyway, that only works with .local addresses. You could use .local with a regular dns server, but then you may run into a conflict. So that would be the benefit of reserving .internal
