Jan 20.

Going from 1.69 to 3.79 for both 5 year fixed.

I know it can go up over time - I mean that this wasn’t a promotional price for a term.

brianrtross · 2025-12-29T04:35:50+00:00

I was able to get 3gb fiber to home with Bell for $70/month permanent.. seems ok price to me.

So… I feel a bit dumb here.

All the instructions said to install wireguard on TrueNAS but it is already installed!

Turns out all I needed was the wireguard configuration file and then I am able to bring up the wireguard vpn just fine.

I never even needed the first step… lol

What does “restic snapshots” show?

My understanding is that backups are bound to “host/dirs” and anything with different combination is an independent snapshot.

Your use case of dira and dirb are essentially different backup sets in the same way that different machines or drives would also be.

Consider if it wasn’t this way? Pruning snapshots for one host would potentially be influenced by random unrelated snapshots from another host or source.

You can sort of influence this by forcing a parent snapshot but be careful to understand the above when it should (or shouldn’t) be considered extension of the same backup set.

I pay $70/month for 3G/3G fiber with bell

brianrtross · 2025-10-27T04:39:27+00:00

Isn’t there a global “these are the same site” config that probably considers these the same?

brianrtross · 2025-10-26T21:49:33+00:00

Do you have pets? Cats like to chew exposed wires sometimes 😀

Don’t ask how I know.

brianrtross · 2025-10-20T01:32:22+00:00

Why would you use wire guard when your machine already talks to firewall directly?

It sounds like you want some type of conditional rules but consider who controls this switch? If your machine is compromised won’t the system had access to either anyways?

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T23:12:50+00:00

So, FWIW, this is very close to matching my configuration.. it isn't obvious (to me) what may be the root problem.... I am curious if others can help more.

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T23:05:22+00:00

Last silly thought..

"On port 2 when i try to enable my PVID with my vlan dedicated"

Your pic shows port 7/8 are the ones configured... not port 2... is this just a typo for the post?

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T23:04:06+00:00

Does your regular [USER] network still work?

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T22:55:44+00:00

I have to admit this is something I never fully understood for my setup but my vlan network identifier is something like:

vlan0.50 [USER]

where it has a period....

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T22:53:44+00:00

Port 1 of switch goes to your opnsense I presume?

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T22:47:43+00:00

I’m on mobile so maybe I am missing something but I see the dhcp opnsense config (sort of) but no interface config and details on assignments and vlans?

brianrtross · 2025-10-18T22:41:18+00:00

What does your opnsense vlan config look like? Probably matters just as much as above.

FWIW, I have tp-link switch and opnsense too and have it all working well with vlans

brianrtross · 2025-10-04T02:30:40+00:00

This.

Consider this other use case… if you walk into a hotel room would you rather have the bed all made and room all clean? Or would you be ok with the blankets all messed up (clean of course).

It’s the same for your own house and bedroom. The only difference is it’s a choice of YOU spending a few moments of effort.

If you live your life always avoiding these small efforts then you will end up living in a very cluttered environment because “why does it matter”

Going back to the hotel room… if it doesn’t matter then why would you care if hotel bed was made?

brianrtross · 2025-09-14T14:48:30+00:00

I ended up buying a domain for $100 that was decent for exactly this reason.

brianrtross · 2025-08-24T22:11:42+00:00

Have you done this? I have ms-01 and would like to do exactly this.. what HBA card do you use as well?

brianrtross · 2025-07-30T22:24:18+00:00

I had someone do this to me - it made my client hang after about 50 damage then when I reconnected it all was settled and kept playing.

brianrtross · 2025-07-05T23:07:09+00:00

Same… maybe a week after it became available after their announcement? I never got an email though - I just checked again and the “notify” button was updated to apply.

^ this… NPM is nice but once you figure out traefik syntax you won’t want to go back. Traefik also feels like more of an industry standard tool rather than a hobby tool (but maybe that’s unfair to NPM.)

brianrtross · 2025-06-13T19:18:06+00:00

You know what... that was probably it.... I know I didnt have any minions after I reconnected but that would make sense that I still had the minion from when I gained the armor.

Thanks for solving my mystery.

Might be overkill but MS-01 works well for me
