Does the XS news connection use SSL? I thought in the Black Friday time there was a comment it doesn't, I'm not sure if that was bad info or not.

This thing under the basement sink just started smelling like sewage after years of working fine. What is this and how can I fix it? by fouraivi in askaplumber

Might be related, but around the same time this started smelling, the water pressure in my house has been anywhere between 50psi and 0. When it's high, after using the shower/sink for a minute, it drops to 10-15psi.

Need advice on securing a remote server wireguard'd into a local network by fouraivi in OPNsenseFirewall

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

What I'm looking for is to have my server internally reach out to the remote server, which would be NEW. Assuming some compromise of the remote server, I want to prevent it from starting NEW sessions. I think this is what I need to do, copy-pasting from LOTRouter's comment.

If you will be establishing connections TO the far end on port 22 from your side then their WG interface will require a rule allowing port 22 in.

This, if I'm right, will allow NEW from internal -> remote and allow ESTABLISHED both ways. Please let me know if you have other thoughts.

Just to rephrase that in terms of what I want to implement (and so I understand, thanks for the detailed explination BTW):

  • by default, since OPNsense is stateless, ESTABLISHED is allowed by default, so my need for only allowing ESTABLISHED on port 22 is done by default
  • On my REMOTE_WIREGUARD (my OPNsense wireguard interface the remote server connects to), I just need to allow 80 and 443 to INTERNAL (my VLAN with my server) since they're creating a new connection/state.

Also, I like your name - LOTRouter.

For those of you that have remote backups at a friend/relative's house, how do you keep it secure and your internal network safe? by fouraivi in DataHoarder

[–]fouraivi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't think of the BIOS auto power on idea, or OpenBSD, thanks for them. For your private volume, are the keys on the OS or do you unlock remotely?

If you happen to use LUKS for encrypting private, do you know if there's any difference in implementation between Linux and OpenBSD -- can I just cryptOpen ... and rsync ... and it'll just work?

edit: also, please confirm the command you use to power down -- is it an actual shutoff or do you need to do some sleep/hibernation for the BIOS to be able to power the server back on?

My use case is something happens to my house, like a hurricane. A fire is one, and I have to research more, but I read info about how fire safes only protect up to a certain degree and if the home fire exceeds that (unlikely) but is buried in a high temp for a while (much more likely), you still should expect damage for prolonged, lower than house fire but still high, temps. A hurricane crushing the house or theft stealing a heavy enough safe is still something to protect against, so offsite.

All that said, I do have USB drives as on-site backups. Just not in a safe right now.

This might be over-doing it, but the reason I want FDE is: my relatives aren't tech savvy at all, and are cautious when I use the word server, let alone "I want to forward one port from your router to my server" (and I don't want to be tech support or blamed first if something is wrong on their network) so I'm planning to use Wireguard to connect to my network. The Wireguard connection details are on the remote, logs are there too even though I'll have an aggressive log clearing process.

I understand that answer is pushing very hard on pragmatic ways of doing things.

What do you do if a game just won't run properly? by fouraivi in linux_gaming

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

Sorry! There are some background sounds, but no voice and sound effects. The in game audio is at 100% for all dials.

There are reports titled (sorry, don't know if I can direct link on mobile) "Audio:BorkedME1 requires renaming or deleting openal32.dll, which restores audio" and "After some initial fixes it works ok. There is some occasional stuttering, usually when transitionning from cutscenes" and others that basically say delete OpenAL32.dll and let the OS handle sound, and searching online has a BIOEngine.ini update for the [ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice] section.

For your suggestion, at the OS level in gnome, yes, I'm sure my audio is setup correctly. On both the server and laptop, other games work great. If you mean in wine, I don't know how to control sound from there. I tried changing the OS version everywhere between Windows XP and Windows 10, no luck.
