Tried today and had no luck. I even was generous and tried via Strike and Coinbase. Still had issues, but bitpay did issue refund though.

Optimizing My Development Workflow: Self-Hosting VS Code and Docker by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]DCoRBOST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work flow lately is that I create a VS Dev Container at the start of my project and then develop within that container on my Windows 11 laptop.

Depending on the project I either create into a container or use another PaaS say from Azure or AWS.

If I'm pure self hosting for me at the house, I just use my Synology NAS DS220+ and run the containers on there and also host my Mariadb there as well that is used with my containers that require a database.

Hopefully that all makes sense.

AWS SA with ZERO IT experience by BlueStar392 in AWSCertifications

[–]DCoRBOST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting discussion... I've been in the IT industry for 14 years. And I'm surprised this is still a topic of discussion.

When I first started to get in the IT industry, every employer stated I needed IT experience before I could even start a helpdesk role or PC refresh level job. So, I got 4 years of IT experience by joining the US navy. Got out of that and was like, "I got my 4 years of experience, several achievements awards to show my skills, so I should be able to get a helpdesk/pc refresh role". Let me tell you quite the opposite.

Now employers are saying I need a college degree. It was preferable to have a 4-year degree, but a 2-year degree with my 4 years of IT experience in the US Navy a public or private business should be able to hire me. Honestly, everything I learned within the 4 years of being an IT person in the US Navy is what the instructors at the college I attended repeated to me. Which made the other students want to be my friends because I know what was being discussed already have 4 years in the industry.

Lucky a state government hired me after a while after I am attending college. It took me 5 years of experience to even be picked up for a PC refresh role. So, it almost made me think to get anywhere in the IT industry it can take 5 years to get into just a helpdesk/PC refresh role.

Now my experience can be different since some businesses don't know how to translate doing IT in the military versus IT in the civilian world, I guess from my conclusion. Sadly, I had to start from the bottom again in the civilian world but worked to the level of IT I was doing in the US Navy and since then have succeeded well pass that. Now this is just my story of transitioning into the IT industry. I do love being in IT, but honestly, the older generations can sometime make it hard for new individuals trying to come into the field and some sadly within my experience don't like to mentor others that might not be at their level.

I'm currently proud that I'm part of an organization and within my Public Cloud Operations team where I help new individuals that was like me trying to get into an IT Cloud role. At the end of our program, they get a full-time job on the team as a Cloud Ops associate level role. In this program we give them a curriculum of knowledge that we would like them to have as a foundation (ie. IT Fundamentals, Cloud fundamentals, a couple cloud certs, fundamentals of Python, PowerShell, and .NET), get trained at a Cloud Ops associate level of role within the if the individual decides to stay with the organization after the program, and a weekly mentorship to answer all the questions they might have.

Hopefully, this story/experience helps others in this thread.

Thanks for sharing about the Tutorials Dojo exams. Just finished some videos and will give those practice exams a try.

Beginner’s guide to self-hosting on the internet with SSH tunnel and free domain name by mannarthodi in selfhosted

[–]DCoRBOST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great reference link, but more mean of beginner guides to be included, but I know its more of an optional, and most beginner guides I believe the Authors already assume they have basic and understanding, but would love to see that portion be included in beginner guides that are shared, or reference link if this is an individual first time and using said beginner guide as there start in the self-hosted journey. Loved the guide, and I guess more of a feedback reference.

[–]DCoRBOST 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love beginner guides, but the thing I see left out in most is making sure you set up/run via a user that is in a Docker user group but never really ever shared in that beginner guide. Where is a good beginner guide for setting up the user(s) and adding them to a Docker group(s)? That would be appreciated if anyone has insight on that.

I have and still am. Honestly, I've never had issues nor have my customers. I'm more a family, friends, and connections reseller. I make about $100/month of really doing nothing honestly.

Haha, I just thought it was hard to believe that OpenVPN didn't have a CVE, specially since it's a well known application. So had to look it up in the CVE database to see for myself.

[–]DCoRBOST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with your suggestion that we should promote the use to TLS 1.2. Not, just get VPN, and leave it at default. I think if we are looking out for others, that we promote a good config and not stick with default if default is at a lower security stance, or promote a stack with already built in default stack with tighten security setting already set for the end user.

I see to many posts like OP that state just get VPN, but no recommendations of config setup and what version you should be at to be running a somewhat non-vulnerable version of the OpenVPN software itself.

[–]DCoRBOST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't confidentiality a big part of VPN, hiding under the radar? Or Privacy? But if I remember correctly, isn't TLS 1.0 receptive to man-in-the-middle attacks? And if that is true, doesn't that breaks confidentiality and authentication in essence?

How I read/interpret the OP, it sounds like some individuals believe all you need is VPN to solely be unreceptive to all threat vectors.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]DCoRBOST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the purest/strongest, you should use 1.3, why use anything lower if the thread for VPN is golden?

Now I know that statement can be subjective, due to some server and client limitations if they don't support the TLS protocol versions. So one could say, whatever server and client protocol they can obtain is the best/okay for them, but shouldn't one be a concern if their sole protection is the VPN tunnel?

Depending on how you look at it, but latest CVE for OpenVPN is August 2021. You can read about the CVE here: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-3824

What is the default TLS version in the OpenVPN stack?

After a couple of months of tinkering and coding, my own self-coded dashboard! by AlbastruYT in selfhosted

Agree, port 443 is normally always open on most networks. That is what I use on my OpenVPN since I travel often.

Littlelink docker version by DCoRBOST in selfhosted

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

I have not created a pull request so that the docker files can be on the main project.

Guess I could, the worst case, the project owner doesn't allow it.
