  • I've never explored the Matrix. Reddit use to be the only 'social media' type outlet that I frequented, and now Lemmy. Total Accounts: 2,222,678. That seems significant.

  • Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading www.storyden.org (see the browser console for more information).

  • Just my experience. Like I said, the only thing I use it for is to watch a tutorial without endless, unskippable ads just to find out the tut is trash.

  • Still learning on this journey of self hosting

    No worries mate. I bet if we all posted some of the boners even seasoned selfhosters have pulled, it would make a hilarious book for nerds and geeks. Sometimes I think, 'gosh I sure am glad there wasn't anyone around to see that!'

  • The thing about these front ends is that Google will eventually get around to blocking your IP. After many unsuccessful attempts that got ban hammered after a week or so, I finally got it to work. I piped it through Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust. Haven't had an issue. My deployment was the Invideous with companion app. The Companion app has been complaining about being unhealthy for ages now, but it keeps right on ticking. I don't watch a huge number of YT videos. Usually my consumption is a tutorial here or there.

  • Similar to Invideous, et al. You Tube front end.

  • You can dettach your headers with --header.

    I did not know this. That would seem, abiding by your system, to be more secure. I will have to investigate.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • convert them to qr codes,

    Never crossed my mind, but that's a good idea. Might have to implement that on my next rotation.

  • Users won't actually leave Discord. I emphasized 'some' in the opening paragraph because the announcement states that the vast majority of existing users won't be impacted (1the platform already has enough usage information to reliably identify their age).

    1We already know who you are LOL

  • For the backup disks I want full disk encryption

    I encrypt everything.

    I have a repository set up with all my keys for all my encrypted drives. The keys get rar'd with a strong, known, 50 character password, and the filenames encrypted so no one can just open the rar file and gaze at the keys.

    • drive_xxxxx1_2_14_26.rar
    • drive_xxxxx2_2_14_26.rar
    • drive_xxxxx3_2_14_26.rar

    These get backed up in a 3,2,1 schema, and also to thumb drives stored in secure places. I also rotate the passwords on a regular basis, so the process starts all over again.

    • Check keys: sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdX
    • Add new key: sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX
    • Delete old key: sudo cryptsetup luksRemoveKey /dev/sdX
    • Verify keys: sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sdX

    The headers are not secret. Anyone with physical, read access to the device can run luksDump. It reveals algorithm, key derivation parameters, number of keys, but not the passphrase or master key.

    As far as 'best practice', that will be determined by subsequent replies to your post. LOL That's just how I do it.

  • Cosmos

    Bravo! I deployed it on a test server just to how it was. Nice UI, great features as I remember. Seemed like a solid product. It's got a well stocked app store.

  • If you run linux, then Lynis is awesome to verify your config

    +1 for Lynis if you are scanning for vulnerabilities. Some of the recommendations won't really apply to a homelab, but it is pretty comprehensive. A great way to harden your server(s).

  • Awesome!

  • Engineer here

    What division? Curious. I'm a mech eng specializing in HVAC. I didn't get to attain my own PE stamp....life happened.

  • I grow a few tomatoes myself. Not quite the operation you have going tho. After doing a significant amount of research, I have found that is does great for my seizure condition. One of the terpines of cannabis is Linalool, and it is an effective anti-seizure med. So, I grow strains that are high in Linalool. After a seizure, it makes for a better rescue med than Ativan. In all honesty, tho I think cannabis gets over hyped a lot, it has made a demonstrable positive difference in my life. It isn't a panacea drug, but is definitely has many medical use cases. It's a shame here in the US that rich, white, racist, capitalist's legislation from 100 years ago, still bogs down it's legalization.

  • I currently grow weed

    Cannabis will grow just about anywhere. However, to make it do magic, it takes skill.

  • The diversity represented here is interesting to me. Surgeon, teachers, musicians, mechanics, etc. Fascinating.

  • It also helps that my local bdsm community had had self hosters who talked about it for years.

    I'll have to admit, that is one of the most unique statements I've heard at Lemmy.
