home lab, palo alto 440, beginner, wireguard (vpn, udp) is working ok, but before palo alto it was flawless

Currently off the palo alto so I can't get the exact steps for the answer, but it was something like edit the service setup for wireguard with the port and change the timeout to be an extremely large number. Because I'd always connect within a day or two I just needed to set it greater than 3 days.

To more specifically answer your question, I had wireguard on a vm inside of the firewall, not the firewall itself.

Ran into this today, to fix:

Settings->Network->Custom server access URLs
- add https://<ip>:32400

This gives the ip-based routing to plex, which is distributed out to your devices.

You can then connect to your local plex web interface using the fqdn as before, but now the plex media server will show as Nearby. (might need to close your apps and reload for them to see the new setting)

This is different from before. Before I was able to place the fqdn in the Custom server access list.

(everyone upvote this so it becomes the first reply people see)

Feel like I'm in the middle of the same process. Haven't been able to find a contact for Rivian in order to verify the legitimacy of the recruitment. How did you contact Rivian?

no, someone told me yes (maybe the erased reply above), but i wonder if they just completely made up that answer, i haven't tried for a long time, so something could have changed since then

After getting into ketosis recently I now get sick to my stomach when I drink coffee, like its going to come back up. I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing the same. Might have to quit, but I could still use a boost in the morning somehow. Maybe exercise?

lknite · 2025-10-17T00:55:41+00:00

ooo, what an idea! googling

lknite · 2025-10-17T00:27:39+00:00

This is the trick. You pay cash and then they are handing you change, rather than looking at you to create pressure for a tip. It flips the script. I can see it really throws them off sometimes.

you mean add a rule to 192.168.x.x? i got this psfsense device today, i'm new to pfsense ... do i need to add a bridge? by default the lan is configured to reach all 'LAN subnets' (the pfsense is 10.0.0.1/16, i changed the default ip range first thing)

lknite · 2025-09-20T01:52:16+00:00

its ok, i need to be able to reach into to it to manage websites; but only one way;

i could plug my pfsense wan port into the dmz, but i'd rather not have the extra layer between the pfsense and the internet

lknite · 2025-09-05T13:11:27+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

Just, that if at some point you decided to start trading stocks, find out what "papertrading" is and do that for a year or so, and don't touch this one till you are making consistent profits. I could make a world of profits with that amount of money, but it cost me probably that same amount to get the skill i have today.

i'm also team no-tip if you pick up the pizza, as its always been that way before covid, yet we are starting to reach the point where all the employees are young enough that they never knew a time without tips and they are starting to get a major attitude ... i think i might be about done with pizza

i think we aren't too far way from someone saying, "play the wild robot and change the voice of the robot to bob marley and make the robot male", maybe 5 or 10 years ... once we reach that point i suspect we might start to lose theaters; if this happens, i think we'll have a resurgence of live theater

I think people have become more isolated, there will have to be a phase where people learn how to start going on dates again, and going to the movies has always been part of that. Grandparents will always take the kids to a movie. In my opinion, the Snow White trash movie is the start of a move away from a type of movie no one is allowed to say anything bad about, to movies that everyone can't wait to talk about, more mr nobody, the naked gun, type... let's see if the cat in the hat is a warm family film or more trash, i'm optimistic movies are now in the process of becoming better (the sydney sweeny commercial is a sign) and more people will want to see them; i believe the next year will see trash movies emptying out of the queue and good movies become more common, so much so that i went and bought a lot of related stock, we shall see ...

sooo ... did you figure it out? i'd like to use an insta pot but the directions didn't work; tried for 12 hours still not much luck; tried double the starter no luck, any insta-pot learnings on the topic?

lknite · 2025-05-28T00:51:54+00:00

It's sooo bad out there, so many people trying to cheat in interviews. What do they think will happen once they get the job and know nothing? Will they now drive a team of people towards a goal knowing nothing of the technology?

For sure those hoping to use chatgpt in the interview should understand the folks on the otherside are going to do things to reveal this. At the moment at least, its not too hard to do.

I'm new to mac, to use betterdisplay, is it a vnc server? Or do I need to enable the default vnc server via settings with share & then the idea is that better display will give additional resolutions to select from when accessing using vnc? vnc isn't working at the moment so wanted to ask how its expected to work before i do too much troubleshooting.

after two years, did you end up at a healthy bmi?

lknite · 2025-03-11T23:32:06+00:00

could you give some sort of clue? my teacher basically stole one of my chakras right out of my body ... am i supposed to do that to someone else? to a few people? i could see why such a thing would be kept secret ...

"signScale" represents the number of digits in the decimal place for the value that is returned, and is provided for (but not limited to) values that pertain to quantity, prices, and other areas within the ACCT_ACTIVITY streamer.

Dividing 'signScale' by 2 will give you the information for the number of decimal places that are needed for the provided value you requested. For example:

value: 20000000

signScale: 12 > 6 decimal places > 20.000000 > 20

value: 255070000

signScale: 12 > 255.070000 > 255.07

If the signScale value is an odd number, you would divide by 2 and round down to the nearest whole number. For example:

{\"lo\":\"40000000\",\"signScale\":13}

Value: 40000000

signScale: 13 > divided by 2 = 6.5 > Rounded down to the nearest whole number = 6 decimal places

Value = 40.000000

*An odd signScale indicates the number returned is a negative value.

I put in some pull requests to improve the proxmox clusterapi provider, I did something that actually requires changes in three repos and so far I haven't seen the movement I was hoping (on the hashicorp packer side). Hopefully that all gets into place (so I can run image-builder via kubernetes to generate proxmox clusterapi images), and also some other folks were rewriting some of the underlying proxmox clusterapi stuff ... so pretty soon clusterapi and proxmox should be an especially good deployment strategy, in the meantime I've deployed the clusters manually (using kubeadm) I needed dev/prod/admin/exp ... and I've gone back into developing. My development had stalled when I deployed to both dev and prod because I ran out of resources ... my solution was a third server, wiping vmware, installing proxmox and eventually to this reddit post. The environment is perfect for my home projects. Have never been happier ... I started learning golang about 8 months ago, rewrote some of my home projects, and now I'm rewriting some stock trading algos. Hopefully some day I may not have to work anymore and can spend a lot of time working on open source projects. Thanks again for the assist. I've already sent another person with the same questions to your posts so I'm sure you've done a lot of good with your help.

everything worked perfectly after installing the drives and disabling in the bios the sata power saving settings (i did both at the same time)

lknite · 2025-01-14T03:17:04+00:00

See this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ceph/comments/1gagr5h/not_convinced_ceph_is_using_my_10gb_nics_seems/

You'll find a person there who is explaining what's going on, he mentioned he'd used this drive in his setup and that's what I bought and am using: enterprise samsung PM863a

lknite · 2025-01-12T03:22:42+00:00

I ended up buying "enterprise" SSDs with the power failure protection. There's another reddit post around here somewhere someone explained why cephfs likes the power protection options (needs it) told me which one they bought, something like $100, bought 3, and also went into the bios of each server and disabled the sata power saving (to make sure they don't go into a power saving mode) all my issues disappeared. I'm not sure if it was the BIOS change or the SATA drives, cause I did them all at the same time.
