  • Keep solid logs about these notifications and the efforts you take to resolve them.

    'you pay me for this long detailed list of problems I resolve daily' hands over thick stack of printed notes

  • What are some unique games to host server's of?

    Jump

  • Bit old, but pretty much everything Source Engine is self-hostable isn't it? Most of them even come with a pre-configured SRCDS (SouRCe Dedicated Server) you can download and run right from the steam launcher.

    I know I ran a GarrysMod server for quite a while; piling a shit ton of mods on it. Plus any source game you've got installed, Garrys Mod can and will use the resources/assets from.

  • Self-Host Weekly #150: Watchtower No More

    Jump

  • :/ shit.

    I'm pretty sure I saw this a few months ago and moved to the beatkind/watchtower fork, but it's not been updated in 6mo either. (Devs only been active in private repos; so they're still around, just not actively working on watchtower)

    Guess I'll find another solution. Hell, I might just put my own script on crontab. Looping through folders running docker compose down/pull/up isn't too hard really.

  • North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location

    Jump

  • Setting their management interfaces to be accessed via https because the VPN blocks (after snooping on) http only access would be my guess

  • North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location

    Jump

  • No. I'm talking about measuring the time in-between inputs being received over the remote connection. Purely observation from the receiver side of the connection.

    Network overhead + dropped and re-sent packets, introducing unusual lag in between commands/keystrokes.

    A key being pressed and key being released are two separate events that get transmitted separately and usually happen pretty close together. That gap getting larger, due to the long-distance connection introducing lag, could be what they were looking at.

    Jump

  • Perhaps something like time between key pressed and key released being abnormally high? Or erratic mouse movement?

    I know whenever a PC I'm using is being remotely controlled, the mouse jerks around instead of moving smoothly around the screen. I'd imagine that gets even worse with ping/more layers of remote connections.

  • Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch'

    Jump

  • Perhaps Mozilla doesn't quite fit into this category, as their software is far more optional to the average user than say, Microsoft Edge or Copilot being forcibly installed on every Windows PC; but more and more companies are forcing features on users that don't want them, after being told over and over again:

    NO, WE DON'T WANT THIS SHIT

    Refusing to take 'no' for an answer, and instead doing whatever you want to people IS a rapists mentally and I will not apologize for pointing it out.

  • Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch'

    Jump

  • 'oh, don't worry; you can turn it off!'

    That's what they all say. Fucking rapists.

    Fuck you, it's not going on my system. It's sure as hell NEVER being installed in something like a web browser that has access to my password vault when it's unlocked.

    I might(unlikely) have considered it, if it was op-in. But just the fact that it's opt-out means I've got to make a point of turning it off, AND regularly verifying it's stayed off because it will "accidentally" turn on again.

  • What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?

    Jump

  • My wife got very upset. Apparently she likes the ads.

    Set static IPs for her devices, then whitelist that device IP past the block lists by adding it to a group, then regex allow domain: '*' for that group.

  • What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?

    Jump

  • A bit of redundancy is key.

    I have my primary DNS, pihole, running on an RPI that's dedicated to it; as well as a second backup version running in a docker container on my main server machine.

    Nebula-Sync keeps the two synchronized with eachother, so if a change is made on one, it automatically syncs to the other. (things like local dns records or changes to blocklists).

    If either one goes down (dead sd cards, me playing with things, power surges, whatever); the other picks up the slack until I fix the broken one, which is usually little more than re-install, then manually sync them using piholes 'teleporter' settings. Worse case, restore a backup (That you're definitely taking. Regularly. Right?)

    Both piholes use Cloudflared (here's their guide *edit: I see I'll have to find a new method for this... Just going to pin the containers to tag '2025.11.1' for now) to translate ALL dns traffic into DOH traffic, encrypting it and using the provider of my choice, instead of my ISP or any other plain DNS. The router hands out both local DNS IPs with DHCP because Port 53 outbound (regular dns) is blocked at the router, so all LAN devices MUST use the local DNS or their own DOH config. Plain DNS won't make it out.

    DNS adblocking isn't perfect, but it's a really nice tool to have. Then having an internal DNS to resolve names for local-only services is super handy. Most of my subdomains are only used internally, so pihole handles those DNS records, while external DNS only has the records for publicly accessible things.

  • Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked?

    Jump

  • My favorite one is when you tap something on a touchscreen, the item highlights/reacts visually showing the device recognized your input, but it doesn't perform the action you tapped on. (it works just fine the second time you try though)

    I presed the button...

    You know I pressed the button...

    I know you know I pressed the button...

    WHY are you not doing the thing??

  • The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" while I was watching it

    Jump

  • Telling someone that they are the problem is insulting, whether you like it or not.

    I agree, continuing to feed the machine is not helping; but there are more constructive ways to express the same point. Help people learn and get comfortable with better solutions, don't scold them for following what they've grown up to know as 'right'. That's not how you get people on your side.

  • Shame on you.

    Insults aren't very welcoming for new pirates.

  • The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" while I was watching it

    Jump

  • I doesn't really make a difference whether it was the actual platform or a higher decision; the end result is pissed off fans that turn to piracy instead of giving you money. Then those fans give you even less in the future. There will always be some that just say 'fuck it' and pay up, but it's diminishing returns.

    This bullshit is exactly how pirates are born.

  • It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects

    Jump

  • There's something about a thick Scottish accent that requires a translator for me. (West coast, Canadian)

    Luckily the few I watch on youtube add subtitles for the rest of us.

  • Fl*rida just made it a misdemeanor to cover your license plate with materials that prevent those fucking Flock cameras from scanning it

    That's not even remotely new. It's been illegal to cover a licence plate with anything that obstructs it being read, manually or otherwise, for as long as we've had licence plates.

    They may have tweaked the language a little here and there; but that law has always been around in some form.
