I immediately ordered a new one from another vendor, as I really needed to build a workstation, and let the purchasing department handle the case. All I know was that the seller did not believe/accept the “wrong cpu story”. From their perspective, it was a sealed box…

It happened to me a few years ago, when I ordered for work an i9 9900k, and inside the sealed box was a core 2 duo… After the seller (not Amazon) refused the return, I looked up a bit online, and it’s a common practice. I even found rolls of “Intel original” seals for 5€ on eBay.

60k stars for a free open source self hosted project? I’d say that’s a really healthy number. Jellyfin has 37k.

I did have backups, it was an easy fix. I had a pihole -up on a crontab for years, probably not the best idea :)

FW rule accept :53 from pihole only, deny :53 from all. I had some devices with hardcored DNS settings (8.8.8.8).

Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole’s DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me :)

Why not just use forgejo’s actions and runner?

They’ve owned it since 2011. When they did buy it, they had Lync, which sucked pretty bad. Now they have Teams, probably the result of merging Lync and Skype.

I use lidarr + jellyfin + symfonium (android), and that works for me. I mainly listen to full albums, and don’t play around with playlists or recommendations though. I get flac quality and lyrics, remote access to my home-lab via VPN (no offline sync), Android Auto support…

First time I heard of Gitee, I don’t think it’s that popular. Also, their website appears to be in Chinese only.

Gitea on the other hand is pretty popular, but after some controversial decisions, Forgejo was born and it started getting a lot of traction.

Check out crowdsec. Like fail2ban, but with crowdsourced lists on top.

I did not know about opencloud.eu, and now I’m intrigued. I was always looking for a simple Google Drive alternative, but Nextcloud was too much. Will definitely keep an eye on it.

Got a .cc for my home-lab, and a very cheap .li for a website I’m building. Other than that i got .de, .eu and .com for my name and my kids names. Don’t know if they’ll ever use them, but meh, a .de is a few cents per month.

I use Linux, and I have a 10 gen i7 with 32gb of ram. So it must be something with my setup …

I tried using it on several occasions, but it is extremely slow for me, with occasional visual glitches… I use Wayland, if it makes any difference. How’s the OnlyOffice performance for you? Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I use Wireguard, so when I am outside, connected to my VPN, I use the internal DNS (pihole) for accessing internal network services using their fqdn.

Like other people suggested here, use opnsense instead of pfsense, and wireguard instead of openvpn. What I did for my homelab was to get a used HP t620 thinclient and an Intel 350 card with 2x 1gbps ports. You say you have 10gbps, so you would need a card that can handle that, and maybe a beefier CPU. For my setup, this tiny 65€ machine is not even feeling it. Single digit cpu usage for 2 wireguard connections, a little over 1GB RAM usage for a handful of services. I think for you an n100 with 4gb of ram is more than enough, but going for 8gb will be better and it will not be much more expensive.

:| gosh… I’ll go back to edit it.

For live monitoring (not offline!), maybe dozzle can help?

I know about pbs, I even have an IP set aside for it :) I do have the built-in proxmox backup function take nightly snapshots or my important vms to my nas, but I don’t have anything really put together. Also, nothing for my nas itself. It is configured in a raid 5, but as we all know, raid is not backup :)

One day, after I am done with [insert reason here], I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

My backup concept is on the to-do list. Been there for a couple years. I do have triple pihole/caddy/haproxy/redis for high availability on a triple node proxmox cluster! necessary? no. cool, though? heck yeah! friends and family impressed? uhm… what was the question?
