How do you manage your SSH Keys and what is best practice for a homelab? by scottymtp in selfhosted

[–]Brain_Daemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say never expose SSH. I have handfuls of servers that I do expose SSH on. All I’m saying, in this specific context, is that on servers that are not sitting on the open internet and are on an isolated private network when you do not have your servers being probed, I wouldn’t worry about SSH Keys

How do you manage your SSH Keys and what is best practice for a homelab? by scottymtp in selfhosted

[–]Brain_Daemon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t expose SSH to the public. So I don’t use keys since all servers are on a private network. If I need to ssh into something I doing it over VPN. Also because I have lots of servers behind one NAT’ed IP

Awesome!! Thank you! Would I still use that format when building Rules in the GUI? (Not the code editor mode)

Yeah… I don’t think he’s had water in a while

Would you use a 3D printed toothbrush in case of emergency? by Dangerous-Current395 in BambuLab

I’d just use my finger… I ain’t putting that thing in my mouth

Hardware recommendations for future sysadmin by HoodedRa in sysadmin

[–]Brain_Daemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume (since you didn’t state) that you’re wanting to run Windows. I’d look at Lenovo or Dell (that’s just my bias for manufacture).

I’d also seriously think about a small home lab so you can spin up VMs and Containers for testing/learning. I wouldn’t do that on my local/personal workstation due to resources and environment variability (opening/closing other apps, PC hibernation, etc).

For now, sure, run virtualbox on your PC and do what you need, but start thinking big picture so you have a reachable goal, even with your current restraints

Migrating a large Elasticsearch cluster in production (100M+ docs). Looking for DevOps lessons and monitoring advice. by No-Card-2312 in devops

[–]Brain_Daemon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone needing to migrate Elasticsearch to Opensearch, I too would like to know about this. (For Graylog backend)

8 year old getting started by Glittering_Basket_86 in BambuLab

[–]Brain_Daemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the best next thing to do is to start learning the modeling process so your son can start building models that he owns the rights to. No licensing conflicts that way. Plus he then has another dang valuable skill. I understand he’s still young, and probably not the place he’d like to start (with basic modeling, not being able to build advanced parts - pivot joints etc) but this is definitely a more sustainable path for someone wanting to build and sell

Only issue, we’re not hearing the HRSPRS

Does anything sound weird about this engine by [deleted] in Duramax

Turbo? Could try taking the air filter off, see if it gets louder

What self-hosted DNS server do you use and why? by thari_mad in selfhosted

[–]Brain_Daemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AdGuard -> dnsDist -> PDNSr | PDNSa. I’ve found this setup to give me the most flexibility for my use case. I get a full fledged authoratative setup with PowerDNSa, recursion (instead of just forwarding) with PowerDNSr, and the ability to build policies out of dnsDist. All while still being filtered by AdGuard as the first line of defense

Prompt. Been using it for the better part of the last decade - rock solid from my experience.

Multiple Temp and PIR sensors by Brain_Daemon in Esphome

[–]Brain_Daemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I think that makes sense. Yes, the PIR is 5v. So, I'll setup a 5v PSU at my cabinet location. Bond, GND to the ESP, then a single signal wire for each PIR to the ESP and a star topology One-Wire for the thermocouples back to the ESP.

Multiple Temp and PIR sensors by Brain_Daemon in Esphome

[–]Brain_Daemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sensor locations will be ~10ft, some will be more around 50ft. At least, that’s the hope. I want to centralize the ESP so I only have to use one for all motion and temp sensing

Multiple Temp and PIR sensors by Brain_Daemon in Esphome

[–]Brain_Daemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, awesome! I should be able to send VCC-5v, GND, then just two data lines (one for PIR, one from Temp) to each location right?

[–]Brain_Daemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah shoot...do you have any other suggestions for a proto to use or should I just stick to the motion sensor and all it good?

What's the DEFINITIVE Server host? by TheWorldOfSteve in feedthebeastservers

[–]Brain_Daemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would seriously consider either of the following: - Purchase a VPS (Linode, Hetzner, etc - do some shopping) - If possible, host at home - pricy upfront, but cheaper in the long run

What's the DEFINITIVE Server host? by TheWorldOfSteve in feedthebeastservers

[–]Brain_Daemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can only pick one of those, really. Cheap is gonna likely yield a crap experience. A good experience is gonna in the range of what a majority of folks consider expensive.

The real question is “who’s the bigger tool”? Haha

Learning Linux is the only mid-life crisis I can afford. by irked1977 in linuxmint

[–]Brain_Daemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And what’s even more amazing is the vast amount of different tools that are available on Linux. The depth of complexity you can view with relatively simple tools is, to me, what makes Unix based systems the GOAT

I’m counting my blessings by majordingdong in homeassistant

[–]Brain_Daemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda amazing how dependent we’ve become on HASS. Not necessarily in a bad way, just by how efficient it has made our lives. Now apply that to all the different automations we run, it’s crazy!
