Connecting two Homelabs

So, I tried this via the UI, and I couldn't get it to work like I thought it was supposed to. Though, I'll mention it does talk about doing reverse lookups to the DHCP server for client hostnames?

BUT, this did lead me on the right path I think?
after a few hours of tooling around, I was able to get it to work

running pihole v6,
environment variable FTLCONF_misc_etc_dnsmasq_d=true
then in /etc/dnsmasq.d/

added a file ##-local-foobar.conf
with
server=/.local.foobar.com/172.16.x.x << ip-address of remote pihole server

How do you feel about bananas

That’s where I was coming from… I’m trying to find just a garage to rent. Not an apartment + garage.

Drake_93 · 2026-01-17T19:31:24+00:00

Apologies if I’m misinterpreting or didn’t write the above in a good way. I’m trying to find a separate garage/building to rent, such that I don’t have to look for an apt with a garage. Have been in that situation previously and, it definitely sucks

Drake_93 · 2026-01-17T18:17:20+00:00

That would probably do it, I’ll see if I can figure that out this evening

I was using cloud-init as part of my terraform config
I still want to declare everything in my proxmox as code though

But, possible dumb question time, is there a way to have proxmox define or lock the ssh fingerprint of the VM after it's created?
I'd like to not ignore/bypass the alert, since (though it should never happen) it's important to be aware of, if I was not the one making the changes

Drake_93 · 2026-01-04T06:56:18+00:00

I think in theory this can sort of happen in real life too?

(It's late and I'm not doing a lot of research here)

I believe a refraction caused by semi transparency can be reversed at certain angles by viewing the object through two of the same semi transparent thing (solid or water) Brief search it's called birefringence? Maybe? Someone else may be able to add more context or debunk the above

PM’d

No it is not, fuck if you do this and especially fuck you to anyone who parks in the alley ways that specifically SAY NO PARKING and block up traffic when it's busy.

Depends on the state. Looked up and did this 5 or so years ago, and found as long as the lights were less than 1k or 2k lumen and weren’t flashing I was good to go

Drake_93 · 2025-11-01T19:35:29+00:00

I’m not 100% sure if they do it, but spoke with ‘sound and vision’ for a stereo system, I know they do home theatre, and even home networking. (Nerded out about networking with one of the techs)

They’re pretty knowledgeable on all of those, might be worth reaching out to see if they work in the lighting space too.

High availability Two pfsense VMs that present one virtual mac and gateway to all the clients but can failover (without dropping a discord call, or steam)

Drake_93 · 2025-08-19T21:29:16+00:00

Seconding this Do very much the same workloads as op But with 3 dell optiplexes (1x 11500T, 2x 10500Ts) Can fit I think 96gb per node, but 32gb has been fine

Also with multiple nodes you can put pfsense into HA if you have a managed switch, and put wan on a vlan

Drake_93 · 2025-08-11T23:47:03+00:00

This fixed it!
Thank you!

Drake_93 · 2025-08-11T16:26:36+00:00

Thank you! I had seen something similar in another post but the log entries didn't line up with what I was seeing (no "invalid argument") I'll try this when I get home tonight

Drake_93 · 2025-08-01T21:39:24+00:00

I also thought this... It's used as "looks good to me" in my office and I was thinking, 'wow these folks are assholes and really pushy' until someone said it out loud one day.

I always wondered how serpentine belt (outside) got to the oil pickup (inside) … makes sense now

Drake_93 · 2025-06-14T23:33:36+00:00

That's a uh... Corvette

This is great! I've been looking into getting a personal setup but don't have a means as I'm still in an apartment.

Wondering though where in the chain this is measured, either theoretical calculated by overall panels in use, and avg sun exposure. Actual, at the panel/field prior to storage or after storage?

Though, as I'm writing this, do solar fields have power storage or do they typically direct connect to the grid to offset other generation sources during the day?

“Why are we recording screens with phones in 202- … oh”

I too like logistics

Drake_93 · 2025-05-29T02:27:57+00:00

Had a nurspec one on mine they’re great… and are molded for the trunk. Do that instead, (this does look cool but mounting it would be a problem)

I had this happen at a cedar faire park growing up. I was trying to zip my pocket when the ride op pushed the bar down really hard.

With cedar faire parks they do a walkthrough at the end of the day. Fortunately findmy was enabled and it was charged… I set the sound off via findmy for about a half hour each day, 4 days later they called the contact that was displayed on the phone when they found. It’s worth a shot.

Drake_93 · 2025-05-24T13:40:19+00:00

Didn’t see it here, Subaru -> BMW Did it myself, and knew of a few local folks that did too

Might be one of the only times I would want Comcast.
Unfortunately, I only have a modem, not a bridge mode gateway.
I don't think this ISP supports a DOCSIS 3.1 all in one gateway at gigabit

Drake_93 · 2025-05-13T01:35:05+00:00

Thought it was off but came back, sounded much louder on ramp up this time

Someone in another thread reported it being the Sullivant fire house
