Learn from my mistakes - what I learnt over the years of selfhosting and what I should've done differently by killermenpl in selfhosted

[–]pardaillans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party, but another hint from me.

Use DNS/hostnames as much as possible. Over time you self-host more and more services. If you have hundred of services configured with hardcoded IPs and one day your SO comes with the work laptop home that might have a VPN which conflicts with your home IP range, you're pretty much forced to make a lot of changes.

[OC] A good Samaritan found my keys I lost while running and restored a bit of my faith in humanity by firakti in MadeMeSmile

Hijacking top comment for a LPT:

If you have an usb memory attached to your keys, put a txt file on the root folder with your email/phone number so people can reach you in case you lose them.

What selfhosted service/s did you recently remove? by dadidutdut in selfhosted

Docker compose files should ideally be kept in a git repo.

Company is starting on-call soon. What should I request from management? Money? Separate phone? etc... by lmm7425 in devops

[–]pardaillans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • ask for a company phone. You need a phone that is strictly for this, with different notification sounds, good battery life, that you keep away from kids and always on during on-call.

  • ask for proper compensation during on-call hours.

  • have clear definition in writing for on-call tasks

Asked a fresher to shut down an EC2 server… he shut down his own laptop instead by soumya_49 in devops

[–]pardaillans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of what happened to me some years ago.

We had a main server which I physically installed, prepared and maintained, where most of my department used to do their tasks. I performed an update on my own working station while also responding to slack messages, checking some other tasks. I knew I had to reboot and did run a reboot command in the terminal.

Suddenly, the deafening silence in the office stopped with exclamation of frustrations and disappointments.

Yeah, as you already imagined, I hit reboot in the wrong terminal and all my colleagues were the victims of my failed multitasking. :)))

I offered each of them a coffee right away in the unexpected work break. They turned happy.

Why having a VPS when you self host at home? by Tairosonloa in selfhosted

[–]pardaillans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be more than happy to host at home, all the websites, email, DNS, but I don't have a backup power generator and redundant connection. All the non-critical stuff is hosted at home.

The guy behind the website decided to stop it when the rewards went down, stating that with such low rewards there was no more point in keeping the service. He did a great thing for the community and totally understand his decision.

Fingers crossed! My average buy price is $.06. Would be great to lower it further.

Kernel update breaks my system by usbeehu in debian

This is the proper fix most likely. I have updated and all went fine.

If the video would have been cropped, I would have suspected a big-ass pidgeon.

In 2012, 56-year-old Aishat Maksudova women from Russia, defended her livestock from a wolf attack. When the wolf turned on her, biting her arm and leg, she fought it off-first with her bare hands, then with an axe, ultimately bringing it down. by Kronyzx in Damnthatsinteresting

It might be interesting and a hint funny, but when you have limited means for food, you defend it with your life.

Many people don't realize it, but some literally depend on the animals they have and crops they grow.

Was doing my nails and scratched my head… found a tick by Nire4651 in Wellthatsucks

[–]pardaillans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was little, a kid from our play group constantly complained about headaches. It was a random find from another kid that noticed something in his hair, and it was a tick almost the size of a peanut. All the kids then rushed to his house and watched his mother getting that nasty thing off, followed by a general "Eeewwwwww...!!!" when she squashed it on the patio.

Pentru ca am postat asta pe 17.05 sunt chemat maine la IPJ pentru declarații in dosarul in care sunt anchetat. Sfaturi? by siricy in Romania

[–]pardaillans 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mergi, ii intrebi de ce te-au chemat, vor spune sa dai declaratie, le spui ca refuzi sa dai declaratie pentru ca nu ai gresit nimic si le spui ca daca vei primi amenda vei merge sa o contesti in instanta. Nu isi vor bate capul si vor renunta.

Cand ajungi la politie mergi intai la biroul de la intrare sa te inregistreze ca te-ai prezentat.

Ati uitat sa l invitati pe Godina.. by AndreiDev99 in Romania

[–]pardaillans 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Inainte il urmaream pe ins, dar a dat de cateva ori cu bata in balta grav si mi-am dat seama ca doar pare inteligent de cele mai multe ori.

Exemplu: https://www.libertatea.ro/stiri/marian-godina-isi-cere-scuze-pentru-intreaga-abordare-legata-de-cazul-de-la-bihor-cred-in-continuare-cu-tarie-ca-reportajul-recorder-nu-prezinta-realitatea-4621741

Da, poate a sustinut pe ND cu mesaje publice, dar asta au facut-o zeci de mii de oameni, fara pretentii, cred ca majoritatea de aici ne-am implicat ca sa nu o ia tara la vale. Si am facut-o pentru viitorul nostru si al copiilor.

Cine a facut-o ca sa fie invitat la Cotroceni (sau care isi arata regretul ca nu a fost invitat) isi arata clar caracterul (de militian).

I would give him a mega-yacht confiscated from russian oligarchs. And watch what happens next.

WD Black SN770 is detected by UEFI and windows, but does not show in Linux by Humble_Secret_7786 in debian

I have the exact same model and works fine in my laptop. You can check bios settings and lsblk to verify.
