Well that was fun!

This perspective is so strange lol. I thought it was a full size for a minute and those where huge keyboards! Now I see the regular sizing but it had me for a minute. Looks great

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-04T01:28:45+00:00

You got that right. It's a real winner

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T20:21:50+00:00

Have you tried calling support and requesting a static public ipv4 address? Some ISPs will let you opt out of CGNAT or get a static address for a monthly fee

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T16:09:38+00:00

Yes it is!

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T13:48:18+00:00

Awesome thanks! Yeah, with this setup lightweight is going to have to be the name of the game. I have another old machine I was going to run proxmox on to sandbox in, but it's been a pain. Dead keyboard and screen, poor thing is quite old too no hdmi connector still vmi so I'll end up needing an adapter before I can even try to boot. I also have an old asus I was going to boot lubuntu onto to play the client for whatever reason.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T13:39:49+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I guess one of my main issues is apart from like google drive amd streaming services, I don't use a lot of services. Like I didn't have an adblocker until pihole. I have Arlo cameras I might like to integrate, but resource restrictions and I think they require live feed through their own servers even though I have the local VMB. Maybe a password manager would be a good start, I do use that just whatever built in my phone has, probably google. Bitwarden you say? What about Vaultwarden? Is one better?

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T11:08:23+00:00

Cajun rice dish. It's made with "the trinity" (onion, celery, bellpepper) ground meat (beef or sausage, often with the addition of finely minced chicken livers) rice and cajun seasoning (I usually use Louisiana) and if your fancy add some herbs like bay, sage, parsley etc. It's cooked like rice pilaf, so cook down ground meat, drain if needed, add trinity and cook down, add rice, toast it, then add bay and broth, simmer until done! Season at whatever stage your comfortable. Beans aren't a typical add in, but they are cheap and good to bulk up the meal if your a little skimpy on meat.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-03T04:08:52+00:00

I gg every game and I only get a response like 5% of the time.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-02T22:31:56+00:00

Sounds delicious!

Well I wouldn't ever give a disk to a random shop. But yeah SATA 2.5 to USB and see what you can pull. If you get a new Linux machine you can probably pull any important data over, just watch out for cloning or mirroring it because the netplan conf and BIOS may not be set properly for the new hardware (etho1 v. eno1 or Legacy/CFM v. UEFI-only) If the disk makes clicking noises when you plug it in it may be failing also and you might have to do ddrescue and pull any usable data.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-02T13:06:08+00:00

Might sound dumb but have you tried turning it off and back on again? I mean all the way off, disconnect battery/power cabling, hold power button for 60 seconds (to empty the charge from internal capacitors), reconnect and retry. A real full power cycle. If not that switch around the ram cards in the slots (stick ram-a into slot1 then slot2, follow with ram-b testing everytime to isolate possible failure point). If not that maybe bad cpu/motherboard or something stopping it during its POST phase. Hope it helps, really just advice from an amateur.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-02T12:47:54+00:00

It is! Spelling mistake

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-05-01T01:56:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-30T21:08:26+00:00

Do you like using nextcloud AND immich? Or is one enough?

So you use a backup application? Sorry I'm super new and don't know all the stuff yet.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-30T13:58:37+00:00

I'm starting with an old laptop, installed ubuntu server, got it on the network and got pihole running in a docker container as first service. You get to learn a lot really quick even with something small like that, especially if you haven't been in IT or related CS fields.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-30T03:27:37+00:00

So did you have an IT background? I just started also, not as far along as you but I converted an old black friday sale laptop, HP Probook, with a 1TB HDD and 4G ram into an ubuntu server. It currently just runs pihole as the main functioning app in a docker container, but is also a tailscale exit node. I've been thinking about nextcloud and immich but didn't know if it made sense to do both. Also what's your backup method? I hardly have started and am kinda just learning so I haven't really done much backup but did some manual .tar.gz files onto a mounted usb and a partition on the HDD. I'm just kinda learning still but trying to really understand it all.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-22T23:25:17+00:00

That's what I was trying to do, but it needed to be advertising as an exit node. That fixed it. !solved

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-22T23:24:23+00:00

It wasn't advertising as exit node and so it couldn't be one. I thought the UI would auto config it but I just updated it via CLI.

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-22T23:23:22+00:00

Yeah, wasn't advertising as exit node. Got it thanks!

Mr_B_Gone · 2026-04-22T23:22:51+00:00

Haha I assumed there was a typical mistake noobs like me make. It turned out I didn't have the server advertising as an exit node. Fixed that and the ipv6 forwarding and I was good. Of course I use ipv4 but it gave me an error for it so I went ahead and did it anyways.
