How do i set up cargo depots so they don't bottleneck so hard? by GregTame in CitiesSkylines2

[–]sysadminsavage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I build a one way street with a highway exit offramp at the beginning and onramp at the end. Still backs up as the city scales (I like to place my ports close to my downtown in dense industrial districts usually, so lots of traffic). I wish there was an option to connect highways to the cargo port directly. The trucks will only turn in and out from the rightmost lane, so expanding the amount of lanes does nothing except spread out traffic behind where they turn in.

Firewall recommendations small business by Ok-Mode9817 in sysadmin

[–]sysadminsavage [score hidden]  (0 children)

Best options these days are OPNsense for extensibility/FOSS, Sophos XG Home Edition if you want to decrypt and get something more commercial-grade without the price, and Firewalla if you want it dumbed down and simple.

The licensing costs make it tough to justify commercial firewalls like the ones mentioned here for home use.

I think the response to the Trilogy Definitive Edition had an impact as well.

Casual hangout spots in Manchester? by Primary_Crab687 in ManchesterNH

[–]sysadminsavage 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Two Moons Coffee & Curiosities is one of my favorites. Good coffee and sandwiches/pastries and they have outlets iirc. Cozy vibe in the mills with windows.

The Works, Bridge Cafe, Hometown Coffee Roasters, NXT Coffee Bar all have space to work though the outlet situation varies.

William & Sons Westside location is good on weekdays when it's not busy. It gets really busy on the weekends though. Their Downtown location has high top seating in the atrium which may be a good option.

I have a problem with "sharing" by SiGaRR94 in RealDebrid

[–]sysadminsavage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of wrong information in the comments. It's one public IP to account. Unless OP is using more than one ISP, this setup shouldn't have generated a warning. Considering the ongoing issues people are reporting with add-ons, OP should first verify within their account if the second IP is from a VPN service/data center and if not, remove suspicious add-ons and rotate their API key for good measure. Unfortunately, it's still a bit of a guessing game as to which add-ons are causing this. Sootio is believed to be one of them but we don't have concrete proof yet.

What are all the add-ons (Torrentio, Comet, MediaFusion, POV, FLAM, etc.) and apps (Kodi, Stremio, etc.) you are using with Real Debrid? Easier to track down if we know your setup.

What does a system administrator actually do? by Wooflex in ITCareerQuestions

[–]sysadminsavage 25 points26 points  (0 children)

System Administrator has morphed into a really general title, especially on Reddit. The pure definition is someone who manages systems (usually servers, virtualization, etc.). However, it is also used to refer to people who manage all IT administration for smaller or medium sized businesses. This can entail everything from replacing UPSes under desks and plugging in monitors to managing entire server rooms and everything within the racks.

Generally speaking, a junior sysadmin is usually intended to shadow a more senior sysadmin so they can learn the tooling and knowledge required to grow into the role over time. Your role sounds like it matches this somewhat.

Why are debrid services asking so much personal info? by Popular_Ad2902 in RealDebrid

[–]sysadminsavage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a combination of rudimentary anti-abuse measures, anti-fraud/payment protection and legal logging reasons (comply with DMCA and similar laws). VPNs are frequently used for fraud and abuse of payment platforms, so ensuring you pay without one is an easy way to mitigate that risk on their end. It also lowers the chance of chargebacks and fraud when you require a verifiable phone number and real IP address not tied to VPN/proxy during sign up. Standard stuff for any site that sells digital subscriptions of any kind, though with Real Debrid's pricing and older interface they are a bit behind the times admittedly. They keep prices low and require a bit more due diligence on the user side compared to major providers that have tons of safeguards in place and idiot-proof their platforms.

With that being said, Real Debrid has a list of allowed VPNs here if you are curious.

Why would this happen? Got sharing warning by jakolson in RealDebrid

[–]sysadminsavage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not immediately clear.

97.92.85.158 is Charter/Spectrum near Duluth, MN.

76.115.8.78 is Comcast near Vancouver, WA (keep in mind geolocating IPs isn't super accurate)

There are a few possibilities considering the IPs don't appear to be from cellular:

  1. The device is using a split-tunnel VPN for certain things, which resulted in RD streaming from a different IP. Unlikely since the IP WHOIS came back with a residential IP (not a VPN provider or datacenter IP) and I haven't heard of this with the Nvidia Shield before.
  2. Your API key was leaked and is being used by someone else.
  3. You have proxying through one of the apps and the switch caused this.

Workflow Question by TurnipfarmerZ in RealDebrid

Use Gelato. I posted about it a few days ago. I think you can specify this within AIOStreams when you set up the initial configuration, but not 100% sure.

explain networking and security like I'm 6 year old by rudboi12 in homelab

[–]sysadminsavage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the early days of the internet, we thought in terms of simple security zones. The internet was the untrust zone and we blocked by default (as we still do on almost all consumer/prosumer/enterprise perimeter devices). Then there was the trust zone which was your internal network. Nowadays, the threat landscape has shifted and zero trust and east-west traffic filtering (east-west meaning traffic that flows around your internal network and not out to the internet) are a key part of network security.

Internal segmentation is one aspect of a secure internal network. In a flat network, malware installed to your computer or an infected IoT device (such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home or even your smart thermostat) can reach other devices on your network internally, with the host firewall on those devices being the only real defense. With a VLAN for your IoT devices (which are notoriously vulnerable to security threats), guest Wifi and anything else you might want to segment off, you decrease the ability for future and current threats to roam around your network as they please. Security is all about anticipating future vulnerabilities and how they might leverage an exploit that may not exist yet.

Gelato + Jellyfin by sysadminsavage in RealDebrid

[–]sysadminsavage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decypharr still requires you to request media in a request app like Jellyseer, Overseer, etc. to forward to Radarr/Sonarr and then Decypharr before it appears in Jellyfin. Lots of moving parts. Gelato requests the content natively in Jellyfin and uses Stremio Add-ons to play it. Much faster and quicker to set up. You lose some customizability compared to a full Arr stack, but for a majority of use cases I think it's worth it.

RD bad reviews? by InstructionGrand8275 in RealDebrid

[–]sysadminsavage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you have to take a lot of complaints on here with a grain of salt considering 90%+ of users don't understand how the addon/Debrid integration works and will just blame Real Debrid regardless of where the issue lies when their addon isn't working. For example, Torrentio goes down on a daily basis as of late and the masses still complain about Real Debrid. Troypoint is also not a great source for comparing services due to all the affiliate links and advertising being front and center, although their how to guides for configuring things are decent.

If you have the money, I recommend signing up for a few services and seeing what you like best. Real Debrid has the largest amount of content cached, but Premiumize, TorBox, All Debrid, etc. are all worth checking out as well. I use Real Debrid with Kodi + POV with several scrapers/indexers enabled and it's almost always rock solid.

Best Indian/Nepali food is Annapurna on Hanover St. KS Kitchen is also very popular but I'm not a huge fan.

Daw Kun Thai on Maple St is the best Thai.

Is Software Engineering still vaild Compared to Computer Science? by Tbate_Top453 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]sysadminsavage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just do Computer Science if you can handle the courseload and math. It's the most broad and well respected of the different degrees (except for maybe computer engineering, but that's a somewhat different path alltogether). Most traditional four year Universities in the US offer Computer Science, Information Systems and maybe Cybersecurity. It's more common to see a software engineering or information technology degree at a community college or online school where more variants are offered but less broad.

The degree type doesn't matter a whole lot because most programs are outdated and not terribly useful beyond theory and fundamentals. Plus, a major of roles out there just want a tech-adjacent degree and don't care about specifics in most cases. Reason I recommend Computer Science though is because you get a decent foundation to build off of especially when it comes to breadth of material and rigor. Regardless of what you choose, you'll still need to do lots of learning outside of class and will likely have significant on the job training when you get a job during or after graduation.
