Is your country also having a fascist problem?

Ok this has been carried far too long, so I’ll digress the conversation. I do wish that one day very soon, being LGBTQ+ will br as boring as being hetero.

Well, I’m a contrarian then. I assure you there is no butthurt here. I mean, why would I be? For real? You don’t like AI, LLM, RAG, that’s fine by me and fine for you to express such. Do I get the same considerations? The ’ Read The Room’ comment felt like imposed group think. If I took it wrongly, then I do apologize.

Yes you are defending it, by saying it’s okay

Nope. Does he not have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit? I’m not sure what country you are a citizen of, but in my country, you most certainly have the right to be an alt-right piece of shit. Oh, and yes I’m very familiar with the tolerance paradox.

Are you not master of your own domain?

It’s sod’s law though, I was supposed to have two pretty much free days yesterday and today, and they’ve turned out to be two of the busiest days I’ve had for a long time. Networking is one of my blind spots, I can never quite get my head around it, so gave myself two days to try to get up to speed and seem to have jinxed myself :D

OK, well the notes offer is still valid if you should so need them.

I commented on ONE comment…not the whole thread.

However, if I am a contrarian because I have contrary core values, beliefs, and opinions, then vive la différence! Hope you had a great thanksgiving day if you do participate. If not, hope you had a wonderful day where ever you are.

defend

No, I am not defending anyone or anything.

It is the easiest thing to give freedom and equality to those we like. It’s much, much harder to give freedom and equality to those we don’t like.

I do appologize for not getting back sooner.

through the Cloudflare tunnel is encrypted,

Yes indeed

I thought you needed something like Caddy to get certificates

You can, and Caddy works well. It just didn’t make sense in this scenario. No worries, mate.

but I’m going to give it a proper look once I’ve had some sleep.

Well. I do have some notes tjat might help put the pieces together, if you get stuck.

The main thing I’m still not sure of is Tailscale

I use tailscale on the server as a overlay protective overlay, which could be accessed as well if needed,

Not trying to be confrontational in the least. but I am fully aware and autonomous. I thought you guys weren’t down with group think?

It’d be nice to donate all my equipment to some kid who is very interested. That would be something I’d be interested in.

Futo’s CEO being a alt right piece of shit is a better reason.

I didn’t down vote ya but, I am quite certain that if we knew all the little idiosyncrasies, personal core values, or private lives of both open source and closed source software devs, teams, sponsors, equipment manufacturers, components, et al, we’d probably never turn on our computers. I mean, I get it, you are free to make choices. I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, until the dev teams start writing that into their software, I’m ok with them being an alt right piece of shit. It’s kind of like, I enjoy Ted Nugent’s music. It comes up in my playlist every so often. I can’t stand his political stance, but I am able to separate the two without condoning his political core beliefs. Gosh, if I were to listen to only those artists that align with my core beliefs, it’d be a mighty slim playlist. ymmv

I know we all hate AI

Not everybody.

LOL Someone took exception to your use of Cloudflare. Hilarious. Anyways, yeah, what Cloudflare doesn’t get, pFsense does.

Dude that is a respectable lab you have there! Much envy

LOL, well I’m single tho I’ve known my ladyfriend for over 40 years. I offered to set up a server at her house, and connect the two, but she has no interest rifling through all my lab for anything of interest in the case of my passing.

…and to my family I bequeath my entire collection of Linux iso’s

Frankly, with my screwed up brain, I document everything. I can turn around twice in my lab and my brain will flat line. When I first started, I would always tell myself that I’d remember stuff. Not anymore.

I created a script for Linux that automatically backs up to a NAS drive, once every two weeks, as a complete image, and I keep 5 on deck. Testing usually happens once every 3 months or so. I also have Duplicati backups that are stored offsite on my VPS.

I tried Obsidian, and it is a very capable piece of software. However, I wanted it to run in a docker container. Running in a container, it uses KasmVNC. So, every doccument you wish to save in Obsidian, you first have to paste into KasmVNC’s clipboard, then paste it into the doccument. I found that quite clumsy.

If I’m doing it wrong, please share. Obsidian was my first choice.

Document everything as if it were a step by step tutorial you will give to someone so that they can duplicate your deployment without any prior knowledge. I’ll even include urls to sites I consulted with to achieve production deployment.

ETA: I absolutely care nothing about points. Up voting and down voting used to be a way to weed out bad info. So it always leaves me wondering 'Did I give erroneous advice? What was the reason for the down vote? I mean, if you down voted and said ‘I down voted you because I hate your guts’, I can deal with that.
