  • Typical fear of missing out behavior. Folks flock to Threads to see what it's all about, see that it actually sucks, and bail.

  • Virtual Desktops haven't really been a thing that I've really needed in my work flow. Maybe one day I will give using one a shot. I actually prefer my current setup with dual 27" monitors.

  • Here is a sample configuration that should work for you:

     
        
    server:
            interface: 127.0.0.1
            interface: 192.168.1.1
            do-udp: yes
            do-tcp: yes
            do-not-query-localhost: no
            verbosity: 1
            log-queries: yes
    
            access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 refuse
            access-control-view: 127.0.0.0/8 example
            access-control-view: 192.168.1.0/24 example
    
            hide-identity: yes
            hide-version: yes
            tcp-upstream: yes
    
    remote-control:
            control-enable: yes
            control-interface: /var/run/unbound.sock
    
    view:
            name: "example"
            local-zone: "example.com." inform
            local-data: "example.com. IN A 192.168.1.2"
            local-data: "www IN CNAME example.com."
            local-data: "another.example.com. IN A 192.168.1.3"
    
    forward-zone:
            name: "."
            forward-addr: 8.8.8.8
            forward-addr: 8.8.4.4
    
      

    What makes the split-brain DNS work is if the request for resolution comes from the localhost or from inside your network, it will first go to the view section to see if there is any pertinent local data. So if you do a query from your home network, on say, example.com, it will return your internal IP address which in this case is 192.168.1.2

  • Well point of fact, yes, look at Chinese history. Chinese history is often summed up as being the "Dynastic Cycle." A dynasty would be generations of a single family ruling over a population.

  • I think people are generally missing the point that this was intended to be humorous. I know I got a chuckle out of it.

  • This seems like a wise move for the time being. I am an Alma fan and supporter so I get that the foundation is trying to do everything it can to stay relevant.

  • Arch Linux is my go-to distro because I can literally install it in half the time that it takes a lot of others. I also like that it is very lightweight.

  • The last book I read was one of Jack Reacher novel series. Truth be told, I need to restart that reading for enjoyment habit.

  • Instead of pfSense, I would really recommend OPNsense, originally a fork but now standing on its own. I like the fact that OPNsense tracks closer to the current FreeBSD release than pfSense.

  • I did this myself for all of 150 dollars. I bought an OptiPlex 7050 off of Amazon and added a dual intel network card. From there, I installed OPNsense. I have a DMZ, WAN, and LAN interface.

  • I for one am cheering them on! May they get everything they want and more. Screw the greedy company.

  • Timeshift is nice to make things easy. I simply use good old-fashioned rsync tied to a cron job.

  • Unbound is simple to configure. I will send you mine when I get home from work. You could probably easily adapt it.

  • Welcome to Arch fellow gamer!
