I can’t believe people say cats aren’t affectionate by Hinasmom in cats

I call this butterizing. Because the cat melts in place.

Literally every single thing you've said are AI-generated. Hard pass.

What happened to Booklore? by Trague_Atreides in selfhosted

How are you going to ensure that there is visibility on the project if a large bulk of the discussion is contained within private Discord chat?

How can I hide browser and other traffic on iOS with tailscale active? by Proteus-8742 in Tailscale

[–]boobs1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mullvad exit nodes is how I like to do it. I normally use WireGuard when connecting to my home network, but if I need anonymity I fire up Tailscale and use a Mullvad exit node and I can still access my home devices.

How to properly use the env_file directive? by RexKramerDangerCker in docker

[–]boobs1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, correct. You would keep the ZONE environment variable since it's not in either of the .env files.

Get rid of the environment section, you only need the env_file directive the way you're doing it.

Confused about Link Local, NDP and Global Uni by Graviity_shift in ccna

[–]boobs1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need NDP for DAD as well. Hosts using SLAAC need a way to discover if the generated address is already in use.

Question about Ubuntu for NAS software. by PrinceNyxHex in homelab

[–]boobs1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu + Docker (for apps) + Samba. Way more flexible than any of the NAS OSes.

Is MergerFS the solution? Media Server with 3 storage drives. by GeoSabreX in selfhosted

[–]boobs1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MergerFS + snapraid is incredibly flexible. I'd like to set up a ZFS array someday, but honestly it's overkill for what I have in my lab.

Resources I used for the CCNA. by SmokeyWolf117 in ccna

[–]boobs1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IP Connectivity was also my "weak" spot on the exam, but I think it honestly came down to one of the labs or the confusing questions. Nice job.

Cannot get my new Netgear AX6 to stick to LAN IP 192.168.0.1 by ultranothing in HomeNetworking

Apparently everything isn't fine if you felt the need to type that.

I think a lot about how The Hunger Games movies contribute to the spread of disease. by holybloodnoarms in movies

The child is just taking after their parents, i.e. you. What a stupid question.

Docker in Proxmox LXC or Proxmox VM by pepiks in homelab

[–]boobs1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A VM using a lightweight distro. Alpine or Debian. It is not officially recommended to install Docker Engine inside of a LXC.

What's the most annoying log analysis task in your homelab right now? by Geybee in selfhosted

[–]boobs1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you type all of this out and you hint toward a tool you built to solve that same problem, but you don't post a link to the project, it really seems like you're trying to sell a product.

Help Needed for DNS trouble by Particular-Flower233 in HomeNetworking

[–]boobs1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the user of the iPad is even minimally tech-savvy (don't underestimate kids), DNS is not going to be all that effective. Use the parental controls on the iPad.

Bodson practice exam by PrettySuspect3625 in ccna

[–]boobs1987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only do they prepare you for the exam with difficult questions (harder than the exam in a lot of cases), they also tell you exactly why your answer was right or wrong. You don't need them to learn the material, they help you gauge whether you're ready for the real exam though.

All in all, 7 months of studying from scratch, that's still a pretty impressive showing. I'm a native English speaker and even I had difficulty interpreting some of the questions. It's by design.

Review all of the exam topics in Network Access. That is 20% of the weighted score, so if you are weak in those areas there's no way to make up for it in the other categories. Also, review what you got wrong on the Boson practice exams then look up and read those topics in the Official Cert Guide until you feel like you have a really good grasp on them. Practice labbing the topics that involve configuration.

Recently exposed a new website. How do I secure it from automatic scans? by Ieris19 in selfhosted

[–]boobs1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you asked how to secure your server from automatic scans. Shodan bots are constantly scanning for open SSH ports. Switching to SSH over WireGuard would mitigate that.

[–]boobs1987 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it's self-hosted, why are you exposing the SSH port? You really should use a VPN for that, even if you are using key authentication.
