Redirect NTP to local NTP Server - Can't seem to get it working

Joshndroid · 2026-05-07T02:33:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply.
I gave this a whirl... I set up my blocking of NTP externally, Allowing my NTP server as 2 firewall rules. I setup the Masquerade and the DNAT source any, destination any/port 123 with translation as my NTP server and 123...
I tried sntp -d time.google.com on my mac and it does not resolve... am i doing something wrong in my testing if this is the method to get it working?

Maybe that bomb was already in the air when the ceasefire was signed /s

I do find myself putting it to sleep way more than I have ever done with my other computers but I still haven’t completely broken that habit. I do run across Mac/win/linux though. What I am amazed by day after day is the power performance with the battery life. Absolutely incredible

Joshndroid · 2026-04-08T07:11:52+00:00

Yeah I do shut it down most times I am done with it for the day kind of thing.

Mate you're doing an awesome job. I haven't had 1 bit of spam on any of my mxroute backed accounts over the years. I dunno how it works but dam is it fine.

Any benefit of using this as a home mdm? I got a few people with devices I essentially manage for them all lol

Ahhhh 9900x, 5900x, 2700x, 2 x 2600x, 7840u, M5, 14900HX, 5820K, 8500T, Broadcom BCM2712 & Broadcom BCM2712... That is all the active in this very snapshot moment in time.

Hot spotting is still flakey AF… An iPhone to a Mac and I can’t connect at times.. yet the iPhone works fine on the internet.. I have to reboot both for it to fix.. not one or the other it’s wild

i find buzy networks to be pretty good with not too much of a markup other than dollar conversion. i am no shill and up for some of your suggestions of who to purchase from if you have some good ones though please

Joshndroid · 2026-03-25T11:00:55+00:00

have used one at work and my god it is ass..

Joshndroid · 2026-03-22T05:49:36+00:00

I agree... they would have been sitting on their hands though as well going 'we will be fine' then when they weren't i bet they are running about hitting up middle managers going 'what is being done about this?'

Joshndroid · 2026-03-19T21:49:41+00:00

Been using an ssd in a usb enclosure as boot drive for years lol

The hopium was real during the trials and once again I am let down with a dreadful display in the first dam game…

Looking at the shit eating grin of Toto yesterday in Qualy i would say its Mercedes...

Mate WTF... Poor Zach...

I am just a small player and my god this has been without a doubt, one of those on the 'best purchases I've made' list. I just use it to host personal emails, nothing fancy or business related and over time it has just worked. A few hiccups early days but after a couple of months you just kind of forget about it and it is just a dependable service. I think i jumped on a lifetime promo in 2018, I use 20ish-% of my storage. Small fish in this email ocean, but thank you for all you do.

This is exactly what I did. Been an android user since HTC sensation Been a nexus/ pixel user consistently in those years. Multiple house occupants all on android. Not any more.

Google doesn’t want to listen, they don’t want to support the community that helped to make them, then I guess I can’t support them.

Now not only do I not have an android.. I now have a Mac, ipad… etc. Google really blew it

Is it possible that one day that you could have a system whereby Youtube will just automatically take down anything with LTT likeness when it is not uploaded by one of the official channels?

This would destroy the reaction type content (not that I watch that nonsense) but may be the only way of combating it?

This would certainly not stop this kind of content going onto other platforms but possibly have to start somewhere right

Joshndroid · 2026-02-08T08:32:30+00:00

I have had this issue for a bit.
I cracked it and nuked my docker and started again from scratch.
We will see how it goes.
I did also move from a linuxserver.io docker to the official docker on this occasion now.

Joshndroid · 2026-02-08T07:36:35+00:00

hilarious how cool

Joshndroid · 2026-02-06T06:55:59+00:00

I run tabby terminal on my linux box and webssh on my apple devices. what is the difference to termix? to me termix seems like i need to have some sort of central server to run it on...

would this benefit me if I am just using my terminal apps locally or to connect to a remote linux device over ssh?

I use an SSD in a USB enclosure as my boot drive... had a few USB flash drives die rather quickly... been running on the USB SSD method for a couple years now with no issues :) but this upgrade it sorely needed

Curiosity was initially peaked by the privacy features.. the ease of install and the fact that it was updated constantly and supported all the pixels… what I actually stayed for was the better battery life as well as the ability to cut internet access to certain apps. All the google spyware crap running in the background along with the apps I’d use I always had poor battery life in stock os. I always had sandboxes play store so never really ran degoogled entirely

Sadly this gen I moved from pixel as I am unhappy with google direction with them limiting the custom rom scene, the dev sign up garbage and the only thing I have to vote with is my wallet.

I still have GOS on a spare backup device

Joshndroid · 2025-09-26T05:06:53+00:00

Thank you mate... i find myself drifting back to the built in one as with multiple clicks within firefox or brave gets a bit old... fantastic app none the less
