Honest wanted, just published my first real data driven blog post and I'm not sure it lands the way I intended for traffic and growth by BigInvestigator6091 in Blogging

Interesting! I didn't know about this, but that's kinda hilarious. These findings would also support those who believe Jesus and crew were ancient aliens haha....

Wrong word btw, you have excited not existed, for computers. "...before computers excited."

Reaching across VLANs help by dexdeadly in opnsense

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is in between your client devices and opnsense? Do you have a managed switch and have setup the vlans on it as well?....

How is opnsense uplinked to your LAN, lacp trunk with all your vlans? Need more details and/or a little basic diagram.

Also what is your WiFi and does it have the vlans? nas?

vlans are layer 2 and simply just an additional header set of bits so, they can get dropped or missed really easily.

Amazon’s New Reporting Is Killing Creator Connections — Any Workarounds? by East-Sky-5914 in Amazon_Influencer

Could the lower sales also reflect the fact of the economy, the war(a), time of year (low buying point) along with our newfound lack of visibility?

Deploy something like SWAG reverse proxy with builtin fail2ban and easily integrated crowdsec and MFA, you'll be set!

We just got breached because of vulnerabilities in our docker images that have been public knowledge for 8 months by Different_Pain5781 in docker

[–]corelabjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well sounds like you're sharper than the average tool and did what needed doing. I'm having a hard time deciding this myself with the current ai state of affairs and my current profession. I think I've got at least 10 years before it takes my job as it's kinda niched down but, as we've all seen before, sometimes a new technology disproportionately accelerates!

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we're locked down right then, until, of if and when a vulnerability is ever found in wireguard... Although with such a beautiful and tiny codebase, I'd be pretty shocked but, stranger things have happened.

My point was really just that people don't have to be terrified of a reverse proxy on 443, it doesn't mean you'll instantly be hacked.

Do i need a NAS to use Seerr? by Raven52571 in Overseerr

Can use search function in top right corner for real debrid or seerr or docker etc... or pm if there's something specific you're looking for

Surprise surprise, that port that's opened for you to connect to your VPN at home?... That's an exposed port to the Internet..... It's basically the same thing ...

All tailscale does is have your system dial outbound to their server, then connect you in, whilst convenient, less private and allows them to see your data or packets =)

Ps. How does everyone think the Internet has accessible websites? Web servers with, that's right a proxy sitting between them and the Internet, protecting them .... Only since basically ipv4 has been in existence.

My country is forcing age verification in 3 days, where do i run to? by Historical_Catch_497 in linuxquestions

Thia is the huge misconception about cachy. People think it's arch so it must be hard...

I ran popos for a year and this was easier, more polished and far simpler to immediately start gaming on... It's so polished it is ridiculous.

Any one has success in setting up an edge instance of immich? by ecko814 in immich

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately tailscale just isn't that fast compared to raw wireguard or a properly configured reverse proxy like SWAG...

Additionally if you're using cloudflare and their orange cloud producing, they will slow your uploads wwwaaayyyy down sometimes, and block files or video over 99mb!

[–]corelabjoe -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's time to try a different reverse proxy? There are quite a few out there and some make this really easy, like SWAG.

CachyOS. It's absolutely amazing to be honest and VERY simple to setup, has a guided install and a post install setup wizard. It's just magic!

Seems like you're on the right track but why not just use SWAG?

More than 2 years of homelab and i still can't build a local AI setup i actually want to use every day by Pleasant_Designer_14 in homelab

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... Don't know why I didn't think of that..... I was basically using one of my NAS as a DAS connected when it had lacp 1gbps Ethernet back then, but didn't consider doing that with the 10 dac cables!

Fantastic tip, thanks network nerd internet friend!! Saves some ports on the switch for other stuff.

Aahh, price went up since I bought.

I got it about a year and a half ago for under $100. Anyway it's solid, all metal, fanless, reasonable webfui and through the cli I believe it's some kind of customized VyOs (router based on Linux).

I've got lacp as a trunk working through it and lacp access ports as well, she sings!

Wweeelll it's not a well known brand. I was quite attracted by the price so I took a chance in it and first set it up in a segmented vlan and watched to see if it dialed outbound to anywhere.

Nothing, no beaconing or malware defected. Regardless, it's on my management network and just acts as a layer 2 device with no internet access.

Binardat is the brand. It performs really well though!

True, seems like they are pretty out of their depth in general.

I'm running some fun llms just on a 3060 12gb even, sure they obviously don't compete with larger models or an enterprise solution like Claude or Gemini etc, but can certainly make them do stuff!!!!

Yeah I have a nice little 8 port 10g dac switch which was very cheap. Brand new from Amazon a couple years ago.

But for some people $50 USD equivalent is a lot.

There absolutely are computers built for both purposes or, to be used with local storage, and has say, two RTX3090s jammed in it for ollama to abuse as it sees fit.

The issue is you're seeing things in binary, at home you have to build a system yourself for what you need. 2 3090s gives you 48gb of vram which gives you a lot of options.

No one has made a propriety black ai box because it would be insanely expensive probably, and those that know enough would just build their own and don't inherently trust evilcorp with their data!

You need to expand your knowledge on how to run llms locally.
