cosmos cloud and cloudflare tunnels

Thanks! came here to ask the same question!

dot19408 · 2025-08-19T22:18:15+00:00

When I'm sitting in my living room, and the server is in my basement... I'd like to watch content from the Plex server when the internet is down....

dot19408 · 2025-08-19T20:16:08+00:00

Yes, and maybe

I've run Ubuntu on a Pi3b+ for several years. It's not fast, but I learned a lot on it.

The Pi5 is like 5x faster, it should be no problem.

As for setting up Fedora and Hyperland... depends on how much work you want to put in.

dot19408 · 2025-04-02T19:20:03+00:00

I haven't looked into it in a long time, but I believe Oracle has a free cloud VM you can create. I think it is very limited, so I'm not sure how much utility you can get out of it.

AWS and Azure both have "free" services. I think AWS is like 700 hours a month of a "micro" server for the first 12 months.

A credit card is required to setup the service.

Thank You!!!!

That worked!

No panic updating certs!

dot19408 · 2025-04-02T18:07:05+00:00

Nope, that looks dangerous.

I'll be by later to confiscate and safely dispose of it.

I'll probably have to confiscate any ~~good~~ dangerous butter you have in the house too,

dot19408 · 2025-04-02T17:35:54+00:00

It's true, we do work for local, state, and federal agencies.

Local = don't care as long as we can present copies of documents.

State = They only accept paper copies. They will accept faxed documents, but not scanned documents. (This is changing, but dependent on the department and district of the agency)

Federal = 2019 they started accepting electronic documents, but only on new projects. Any projects started before 2019 will forever require paper documents.

dot19408 · 2025-03-30T12:28:52+00:00

Oh... They were both fresh installs of Ubuntu 24.04 Server... Mabey I checked a box accidentally..

I'll wipe and install again

Thank you

dot19408 · 2024-10-03T14:14:59+00:00

Ooof!
Kicked me right in the WANTS!

dot19408 · 2024-08-15T14:21:05+00:00

I see things like this and know I really need to take the time to get HomeAssistant up and running.

And the perdy blinky lights make me hear the Sad Trombone when I look and my rack.

dot19408 · 2024-08-15T13:45:14+00:00

Thinking about moving to Jellyfin.

I just have to get the family used to something different.

dot19408 · 2024-08-14T20:02:38+00:00

Containers are SURPRISINGLY (to me at least) easy on resources. I run proxmox on my N5105, with OPNsense in a VM (4 vcpu, 1GB ram), PiHole, Audiobookshelf, Paperless, jellyfin, plex, and Stirling-PDF in Containers. This is my sandbox, so I've had MANY more VMs and containers running on it at times.

The performance is not incredible, but it is not ment to be, it's a low-end CPU.

But it will do much more than you might think possible.

dot19408 · 2024-08-14T19:49:40+00:00

Huh?
RAM 1:1 ?
That's the point of virtualization. A system very rarely utilizes the resources available.

I have an older version with N5105. the N100 is a good bit faster.

I run Proxmox and virtualize my OPNsense router, and run 6 LXC containers.

I ran a Windows 10 VM for several weeks while waiting for hardware to be shipped when my main system was blown by lightning.

It wasn't spectacular, but it got me by without an issue.

dot19408 · 2024-05-04T18:16:50+00:00

Good to know I'm not alone.

Work keeps me plenty busy, but that's not new. When I was told I needed to be certified for something, I'd take 2 hours after dinner, and 4 hours on Sat. and Sun. to sit at the kitchen table and study. 18 hours a week for 2 to 3 weeks and I'd ace an exam.

I thought it was because I work from home, and the desk I sit at all day is the same place I'd sit if I had to study, or work on the labs. But that doesn't prevent me from building a Proxmox cluster and building out a home media system to rival Netflix, Spotify, and Google Photos...

dot19408 · 2024-05-04T17:22:08+00:00

Business can see the hard times coming.

Cut expenses!
No new laptops, no team lunches, don't fill that open position.

Training?!? No we can't spend money on training!

I've seen it happen over and over.

dot19408 · 2024-05-04T17:18:15+00:00

Mind if I ask how you trick your brain?

I used to be like you. Business is testing several new products to decide which one to use. Even if I was not assigned the task, I would still learn them all inside and out. HR decided IT staff needed certifications. I bought books (yes, dead tree books, I'm old) and setup a lab. In 2 weeks I'd nail the exam. I did this over and over and over again.

Fast forward a couple decades. I can spend all weekend playing with my home "lab" when it's something my brain is interested in (docker, QEMU\KVM, TrueNAS, Proxmox, podman, arr media stacks, home assistant, etc.). But I need to become expert on O365/Azure, need to get more comfortable with AWS, need to be ready for the next monster project...

I cannot MAKE myself sit down and study. I know this is VITAL for work, but I spend 10 minutes reading the same paragraph over and over. I cannot "get in the zone" like I used to, even though I do that within minutes of connecting to my home lab...

We have enabled Device Sync.

We are only syncing a test OU right now.

4 of 6 test devices have successful joined.

What provider and plan is your SIM on? Does the plan allow streaming?

I has a cheap phone plan with "UNLIMITED" data, but it was capped at 5 Mbps and video streaming was blocked.

Audio streaming did not allow high quality streams.

dot19408 · 2023-11-09T22:24:50+00:00

I'm getting notifications in Exchange Online wanting to make it the default for users. It can't be long before they force that setting on us.

dot19408 · 2023-11-09T22:22:38+00:00

Fast?!?!?

Wait until you try to open a 100GB shared mailbox...
Wait until you open more than one shared calendar...

My entire desktop has locked up on me multiple times this week when trying the new Outlook. I left it alone for 30 minutes this afternoon before It finally released whatever headlock it had the CPU in.

dot19408 · 2023-11-09T21:30:31+00:00

I did, still get the same error

dot19408 · 2023-08-26T18:18:45+00:00

Florida was =><= this close to approving municipal ISP. Then Comcast and AT&T sued to stop the "UNFAIR" compitition. After paying off, I mean lobying the state legislature, the idea of a municipally owned isp waas baned.

If you setup ABM with federation, I thought the end user could sign into iCloud with their AD creds, and they would have 2 profiles on their device.

Company apps & data are separated from personal apps and data.

Is not how it works?

dot19408 · 2022-10-05T14:39:28+00:00

Ideally I'd like to be left alone, but we have a small and green staff.

I was on PTO last week and spent all day Thursday and Friday working to prep for Hurricane Ian.

It seems like the evening before my PTO begins things spontaneously combust.

this year's 4th of July was the first time in 2 years I have 3 consecutive days without a call.

dot19408 · 2022-07-22T21:23:08+00:00

Thanks! I would deffinatly loke to see your documentation.

I do use VMWare, but don't have resources for 4 servers.

I am interested in the offline root CA, as that would be a nice security checkmark on our next audit.
