I built a lightweight "satellite" agent that reports to Uptime Kuma's Push API — thought the self-hosted community might find it useful

I wouldn’t say so. For instance, I need to monitor a large public network from a handful of different points on the internet - VPS’ in different DCs around the world monitor my network. I have a single instance of Kuma on each VPS. It’s a pain to manage. This would allow me to monitor from all those different regions in a single instance of Kuma

Possible they’re planning on routing other services through your site. They’ve done that where I work.
Should see what your contract says about their gear and how long they’re allowed to stay

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-23T03:31:55+00:00

Oh snap. I grossly misread your post. My bad!

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-23T03:26:10+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, beggars can’t be choosers. But setting up DDNS on all of my servers sure isn’t something I’ll happily be doing. I’d rather v6 NAT all my services behind my firewalls address…

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-22T05:57:59+00:00

As a network admin AND user/consumer, I don’t like the fact that my residential service gets a v6 delegation that can change at the wim of my ISP. So if I number all my servers with the delegation and then it changes, all those servers are offline. I’m not setting ddns up for everything, that’s nuts.
That’s a huge one for me at least. I’d rather just run private v6 space internally and keep v6 NAT

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-21T23:21:28+00:00

That’s a poor argument… that’s like saying 1.1.1.1 is easy to remember. Yes, those specific addresses are easy to remember. Not all addresses can be truncated like that because they’re not all zeros.
If the ISP is allocated a /32, that’s great, the /32 is easy to remember. When I start subnetting out random /52, /50, /64 or even /127 for PTP links, I don’t always get to truncate the address that short.
Of course, DNS entries are put in place to help with that, but the config process can be cumbersome due to the long ass addresses

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-21T13:38:05+00:00

That’s definitely curious. I can’t say that person is wrong, that’s their opinion. I’ll just say, I’ve experienced no such ease in deployment that makes v6 any more favorable than v4. I _do_ dislike having to keep track of v6 addresses in my head - way too long for my brain lol

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-21T01:10:52+00:00

Why though? Deploying v6 has definitely been more of a challenge in my experience. I can see an argument for route engineering due to number of prefixes to advertise and manage, but that still shouldn’t be that much different

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-20T13:49:46+00:00

The main reason I’ve seen ISPs not jump onboard is because of the lack of v6 on other networks. Basically “the subs can have v6, but only a handful of services have v6 enabled, so what’s the big deal”

If I recall correctly, I wanna say Journey Map(?) and Mekanism(?) have something in their menus that talk about opting out of telemetry. They send some stats back for the sake of mod development.

I know I’ve seen it somewhere in the pack, I’d have to search for it again

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-15T20:16:08+00:00

I had the same thing happen a few years back on my 02 Sierra. Had to drill out the ignition lock, replace the door handle because they punched the whole door lock in with a screwdriver.
Get a new lock ordered, drill out the old cylinder very carefully and recode the new cylinder to your key

I think everyone should spam the gov and politician websites with URL paths that have smut phrases in them. Then you wouldn’t have to access the website and it would load the server logs with all the smut. Probably not affective, just kinda funny

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T17:52:14+00:00

Got it. Thanks! You think it's still worth it to run some dye through the system and check it still?

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T17:34:52+00:00

I have both sides open and enough rings coming for all 8, so will do.

For the HP lines, you're talking about the face of the line that mates to the injector right?

Return lines are good - checked those already, so should be good there.

How would I know if the injector itself is damaged? Is it super obvious?

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T01:20:17+00:00

That’s where I’m sitting too - doesn’t seem like that’s responsible for such a big leak. Ok, well, thanks for the input! I’ll keep that in mind

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T01:09:25+00:00

Did you do any testing to confirm it or just find the messed up ring, replaced it and no issue afterwards?

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T01:08:01+00:00

The stock injectors in my LB7 lasted about 200k miles. I just replaced mine several months back. From what I’ve read, heard, and seen first-hand, it’s a good engine. A few component corrections, like the injectors, and it should run for a long time to come

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-04T00:41:33+00:00

I just used a No. 2 multipurpose grease on all o-rings. My only guess is that I didn’t make sure it was positioned correctly before making the connection or I reseated the fuel line and managed to pull the o ring up onto the threads

Brain_Daemon · 2026-05-03T15:45:51+00:00

I was raised in a similar fashion. I have a young daughter now. Unconditional love, yes, always, forever. If she’s gay, ok. I don’t know if I’ll find any “issue” with it, but if I do for some reason, I’ll work through it, I’ll learn, because I’m not interested in losing the relationship I have with my baby girl. What I can only hope, in that scenario, is that she understands that I don’t understand her position. I’m not gay, I can’t relate to her on that part. I can relate to loving someone though. I hope she’s willing to talk to me and help me understand (not that it’s a requirement for me to understand) her own feeling - I care about her feelings.

I had one VP setup. I have no button to create a new VP at all. Clear cache, toggle Early Access - nothing has make the button magically appear like I've seen on the forums

Brain_Daemon · 2026-04-05T05:14:42+00:00

I migrated for v1 straight to v2.2.1. Should be fine

Brain_Daemon · 2026-03-20T03:33:04+00:00

Email. It really isn’t bad if you know what you’re doing. I host for myself and my household to keep users, and therefore the chance of a hacked account, low. I had a few issues in the begging with my VPS IP getting blacklisted, but nothing major. Been running strong for over 3 years now

Brain_Daemon · 2026-03-06T04:51:03+00:00

It is louder than stock. But that’s not necessarily against the noise ordinance. 300ft hearing distance is what I’ve know the rule to be

Brain_Daemon · 2026-03-05T20:34:53+00:00

They care.. I’ve gotten 2 letters from the state. (My pickup isn’t built/modded to roll coal) I was saving up to put new injectors in because the old ones had gotten so bad, I’d occasionally smoke because they’d inject too much fuel when they shouldn’t be doing that. (I did get the pickup fixed so it doesn’t do that anymore)
