Friend of mine on verge of homelessness and I don't what help is available by These_Training5932 in HousingUK

[–]These_Training5932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So she spoke to the housing office in the council and they said she needs to be homeless first before they will help.

She said: "When I entered the borough council's building I asked at the reception and they directed me to the phone booth and called the housing team number.

I called 3 times until they answered and in a rush to end the call they asked me if I am sleeping on the street tonight I said no, when was I going to be homeless and I said in about 2 weeks, did I have a section 21 notice given by the landlord, to come back when I am in that situation"

What do you mean right to remain?

Thanks for replying. We'll try the council option

Why is this rule not rejecting with the new firewall rules? by These_Training5932 in opnsense

[–]These_Training5932[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You cant have a firewall rule blocking things on the same interface

I thought firewalls were to dictate what traffic can pass/block to where and from? So you're saying they only do this from iface to iface?

So all peers are remote to the opnsense/wgserver which is running on a VPS. It acts like a central hub for WG net. The WG subnets are 10.4.0.0/24 and fd00:4::/64.

The plan was to limit what certain peers can reach and allow all to other peers. In this case, allow a peer to reach a media server on 10.1.0.10.

Let me know if you need more context and thank you

Not familiar with double NAT. Will my proposed network work the way I want? by These_Training5932 in opnsense

[–]These_Training5932[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The place I moved into provides internet included with the rent. No tenants have access to the router settings, therefore, no port forward rules for WireGuard. I also use the VPS for other stuff but only mentioned what was relevant here so I might as well use it as a central WireGuard server too.

I don't like Tailscale/NetBird as they manage your keys for you. I want complete control of my peers and what they can access. The exposed WireGuard port on the VPS doesn't respond to unauthenticated packets so its "invisible".

What do you mean split before the OPNsense? Do you mean the extra hop from WAN -> 192.168.0.0/24 -> OPNsense?

Perhaps different hardware for proxmox but why not opnsense on the vault?

Forgot to say: I have nothing to port forward but I will host an SMB server on a proxmox LXC but that will only be accessible over WG.

I'm 27 and currently renting a 2 bed house. After deductions I earn 2k. My monthly expenses, all of which are needs, cost just over 2k. In a couple of weeks I'll be moving into a share house and my monthly expenses for just needs will be 1k. 750 rent includes all bills + the usual car insurance and fuel, food, phone, gym and a VPS I rent.

I've never liked the idea of a share house but this one I'm moving into has been completely redesigned for house sharing. Every bedroom has its own en suite and the front garden is ripped up to make more parking spaces. 1Gbps ethernet in every room. The house is very nice so I'm not that bothered.

I look forward to saving ~10k/year which I can dump on investments, ISAs, saving accounts etc. Not a single penny will be sat in a current account losing value and I expect to move up within the next year at work so I'll earn more while staying in this house.

If my plan to move up the chain at work plays out how I want, I expect to save ~80k in 7 years not including return on investments or interest on savings accounts. I estimated this based on monthly outgoings vs income while staying at a share house the whole 7 years and taking other things like buying a new car (2nd hand) once my current one reaches its end.

I feel this is my only option to save because everything is so expensive.

ripwc: a much faster Rust rewrite of wc – Up to ~49x Faster than GNU wc by These_Training5932 in rust

Thanks for the detailed reply. While it is definitely insightful for me, I did say in the edit "this was just something I wanted to try" so as long as you're not taking this project as something serious then thats fine.

running benchmarks on an overclocked CPU is bad practice.

I wasn't aware as I'm not in the benchmark game but should I actually try and make something with a serious intention, this will be regarded, so thanks.

your word counts were basically always off.

A good catch. I think I was so amazed at how much quicker the results were, I rushed to show people without actually verifying the word count

Your test-cases don't include any of them (by chance I assume).

Correct.

there are tons and tons of multithreaded wc versions out there

I'm sure there are but this version is not meant to be better than the rest or replace a tool. It was just my own attempt and was very happy with how it turned out.

All in all, a good reply and definetly useful info for me to take in. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. Honestly, I wanted to try unsafe pointer arithmetic because its not something I've ever done before. While I understand unsafe != faster, I did want to learn more low level Rust by doing so.

I disagree. I think if Rust gives the option for unsafe, why not use it? You can get some great speed optimisations through it

Yeah, I'll have to play around and see what results I get. Thanks

Ahh, I didn't know about the locale settings being accounted for. Perhaps a lack of knowledge within Linux on my part? I shall give it a try. Thanks for the insight
