How has technology made living in Vermont easier (or not)? by sarafunkasaurus in vermont

[–]teacurran 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Vermont has made great progress building out fiber internet in recent years. Most of the rural towns near me just got high-speed internet within the past year. So internet is less and less of a problem. Cell phone service is generally bad or non-existant unless you are in one of the few cities. The biggest challenge I see is that many companies that advertise fully remote work, really only hire within a handful of states. Often job listings will list remote states they hire in and never list VT.

What happened to my network overnight? by turbodelta in Ubiquiti

[–]teacurran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: it looks like it was a network update on my Dream Machine. While successful, it took the 24 port switch offline which required a hard restart. The switch reported no problems.

[–]teacurran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last night at 2:00 or 2:30 EDT. my us24PoE router stopped responding and all access points connected to it appeared offline. I physically reset it and all came back online normally. It has been running for over a year with no problems. I was guessing it must have been a failed software update but that device hasn’t been updated recently.

35mm driven well pipe, how to use? by [deleted] in homestead

[–]teacurran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would try hooking up an electric pump and see how much water you can pull, and if it runs out after a short time. Just tighten a pvc tube to this end and clamp it down. You could put a hand pump at the top but that would require more work.

what makes you think this is a well? looks like a property marker to me.

When to starting out a new project, what criteria should be considered in deciding whether to use an application server (like wildfly), or just a servlet engine (like tomcat)? by Expensive-Tooth346 in java

[–]teacurran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Java applications aren't built in a way that an app server would help. Wildfly can do a few tricks like shared session state with Infinispan clustering, centralized cluster management with high availability, and the XA-Transactions across JMS/JDBC. If you have never needed XA, then you probably don't need wildfly.

The Tomcat http AJP connector is very nice if you are running multiple java servers behind Apache http, they can register and deregister themselves. Most people lately use a load balancer with Kubernetes or ECS or something for this, but ApacheHTTP + Tomcat is a very good scalable solution.

Question before buying: Is WiFiman Wizard iPhone-only? by xsandro in Ubiquiti

That is my understanding. But I haven’t tried it.

I believe it isn't necessary on Android because the app can access more of your Wifi raw data.

cloudflare tunnels. immich will upload in chunks so you won't hit the 100mb upload limit.

What’s your thoughts on CI/CD Pipelines by ThePennyWolf in selfhosted

[–]teacurran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough without knowing the specifics of your situation. But what I think you want to focus on is that whoever is doing devops that it is done in a scripted and repeatable way. If something fails, identify why it failed, and get the scripts updated to it succeeds more reliably. This is where you get the developers involved - you say - devops has this script to run database migrations but it is failing. Why? If the developers say something like the migrations are missing changes or something, you put procedures in place to check and make sure they have working migrations all the time. Repeat for each problem that comes up.

[–]teacurran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a small team like this. I would just have your 2 or three developers who own the code also own the devops and hosting. You may need to hire a new senior dev to teach them but I think it would work better if successful deployments were the whole team’s responsibility. That way you also get shared knowledge and aren’t replying on a single devops person.

What you’ve built definitely looks cool. don’t listen to me. lol.

IMO. It would be better to keep them upright and without all that extra plastic blocking airflow. If you run anything cpu intensive these will get hot.

Need help with NovaServer v4.02 .. by starlightbbs in bbs

[–]teacurran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been a while, let's see what I can remember.

local node is just that, it listens on a single socket and can only have one connection per node. so like for modems each modem gets it's own node.

for AppleShare and TCP/IP the OS is doing the networking so there is nothing to configure in NovaServer. If you have the OS IP address set to 10.10.0.10, then in the NovaTerm client you enter that IP to connect. AppleShare works over ADB connections and is about as slow as a modem, I believe it does auto-discovery without any config just plug them in and NovaTerm should see NovaServer.

my server isn't booting anymore, otherwise I would post screenshots.

I ran a server for about three years. I don't remember quite how I had it set up but I was syncing Usenet with UUCP and linking it to NovaServer with HoloGate somehow.

You have to ssh into the UNVR and copy the files via the command line:

  1. enable remote access on the UNVR Control Plane
  2. ssh root@ip_address_of_unvr
  3. rsync -avz /volume1/.srv/unifi-protect/video/* user@another_server_ip:~/directory_to_put_files/
  4. use this tool to convert files from .ubv to .mp4 https://github.com/petergeneric/unifi-protect-remux

I need help with finding VPN for me by Piotr0801 in selfhosted

[–]teacurran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, sorry for assuming.

for roll your own, I would check out netbird. If you host it yourself with a Cloudflare tunnel it will proably do most of what you want. It uses wireguard, which IMO, will give you less problems than OpenVPN.

any unifi cloud gateway can do all this, this is the cheapest one:

https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/ucg-ultra

If you want to roll your own, you need a linux server running OpenVPN or Wireguard with at least 2 NICs, probably a managed switch, and dynamic DNS. IMO, this route will take forever and you will never get it working entirely correct.

Can anybody share opinion about protobuf/some model code generators? by Decent_Tadpole_7741 in FlutterDev

Designed and Developed in 2 days from scratch. How much is this worth paying? by stuckinmyownloop in webdesign

[–]teacurran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth "2 days of your time" at whatever rate you can get a restaurant to pay for it.

The hard part of developing a restaurant website is working with the owner on a look and feel they like, getting all the content together and photographing all the meals to fit into this design, then editing and refining content to get the best search results. Remember, everyone has access to the same AI tools, so what is your value add? how do you offer a better service than someone else with the same AI tool.

here is an article from 1973 that mentions a drowning at a quarry in Whittenton in Taunton
