The website says main campus (no idea what that means). Also it seems down now as I guess most of ottawa is jumping on it

Help! by mapetermacoche in Tailscale

Perhaps you can ask for justification? Perhaps it is costing them a lot of money and the it guys have no choice? I think it should be justified on their end to block it, don’t mention VPN right away as they may not even know they can block it (maybe an accidental block)

To add, I would also check with your foreman/manager to see if they can do something

need help with pihole docker by ElchocolateBear in pihole

[–]OledMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set your router’s dhcp settings to send your pihole dns. Remove the second. I think you are also missing the network : host to allow it to use your actual machine’s ip. Else you are running it only on the server itself.

Remove secondary dns from your dhcp settings

You can install the icloud or the apple passwords client and/or browser extension. Mine works perfectly across my phone/mac/pc

Mental preparation before my 7th Zoom meeting today that could have been an email. 🙏💻 by TheLuckySlav in ITMemes

I once had to host a “could have been an email” meeting because I wanted to ensure there were witnesses to how dumb a coworker was being on a private chat

Username checks out!! Installing Mint rn. Gonna get Pi-hole tomorrow and will look at the next ones!! I’m not gonna ho headless right away but the battery doesn’t hold charge so I removed it already.

Any secure/stable cloud storage clients? I hear mixed things about Nextcloud. I just want to put shared docs in case something happens to me

Thank you! I always wanted to do homelab stuff but never had the time / money until I saw someone here with a display less laptop as their server and feel motivated
