One way is to run Pi-hole’s admin interface on a different port. That’s configured in:

/etc/lighttpd/external.conf

Set:

server.port := 8000

Then your URL is http://IP:8000/admin

There’s always a way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhYEOG9LOIk

Last time my dishwasher died I just had to take it had and clean the pump underneath. Basically the connections apart under and had to just scrub them out. One tiny bit of plastic was gumming it up, causing some checks to fail. Stopped it running.

They’re surprisingly simple machines.

For Samsung I always buy the extended warranty. For our washer and dryer Assurion must have spent a fortune keeping them running. A lot more than I ever did to guy them. They’re only 8 years old too. It’s sad, but for Samsung they work nicely but fail frequently,

For your next one but Bosche. They’re all good, get a base model and it’ll clean well and reliably.

Given this is !privacy and the advertise as front page features both “works will all your messaging apps” and “end to end encryption”, it seems important to flag currently those aren’t mutually compatible.

It’s not their fault the apps don’t have e2e APIs, it’s a tough problem, but the secrecy and privacy guarantee is just “trust us to stick to our policy”. And they’re a start-up, tooling isn’t perfect (or even exist), mistakes happen, etc

Their self-hosting looks interesting, but then it said to use your own clients too, which took the fun out of that.

“For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp’s proprietary encryption protocol.”

So, not really end to end for most common use-cases.

I don’t think it’s about lemmy.

curl ifconfig.io works too

I agree, that would be more authentic. Or rig up an actual line printer.

But I think the fuzzy old terminal emulator at full screen gives you a more accurate view of an old curved, flickery, low-res screen.

Event a TTY on a modern screen is going to be higher res (far more than 80x24), nice crisp fonts, colors, etc.

Should have used https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term instead of gterm for the real flickery tiny terminal experience

Depends a lot on your existing reverse proxy.

You can read the nginx config that the defaults include and it’s some basic rules to route incoming requests to either lemmy or lemmy-ui. If your existing reverse proxy is nginx you could just incorporate the rules in there.

It also depends on why you need it behind the existing proxy, and how you’ll choose to route your traffic, and where you traffic is coming from in general.

I’d start with taking a look at the default nginx config to see if you can move those rules to your existing reverse proxy, or just forward everything coming in that’s for lemmy straight to the lemmy reverse proxy, although that might be more complicated in correctly preserving the incoming requests.

Many years ago working for a monitoring software company someone had found a bug in the uptime monitoring rules where they reset after a year.

It was patched and I upgraded one client and their whole Solaris plant immediately went red and alerted. They told me to double it to two years and some stuff was still alerting.

They just said they’d try to get around to rebooting it, but it was all stable.

Everywhere else I’ve worked enforces regular reboots.

If you want a reliable provider try Fastmail. Used them for years, very rare outages. I have my local postfix set to relay to them for locally sent mail. Great web UI.

Needs the www:

I really don’t like the “but otherwise we’d need a warrant” approach.

Yes, of course you should need a warrant. That’s the bit that’s the safeguard and actually is the checks and balance against abuse. It’s not a problem to be optimized away.

Traditional lox is just brined in salt, no smoking.

Gravadlax is brined in salt and sugar with spices.

Smoked salmon is just smoked salmon, like nova, in the US.

Due to customer preference and lack of knowledge, most want smoked salmon when they ask for lox, so are sold lox.

Sounds like you need bevel gears.

I’m with Gordon though. It’s easier to move the fitting than rig up gearing.

I’ve done this for years, but also:

• anything automated goes straight to specific folders for those categories. Very quickly identify stuff that’s noise and put in rules to move it out of your inbox. Sure some stuff you might need, but anything that’s corporate spam needs automating away.
• use (and create if necessary) the right mail groups so your whole team, project partners, whoever see the right emails and ask people to use them.
• add a VIP rule to highlight emails from the boss, VP, anyone you know you want to read right away
• be clear with people on how to reach you. If you prefer Slack for immediate stuff, tell people. It’s fine to be clear that email is for less immediate consumption, or non-conversational stuff. Slack is far better for collab.

Most towers will fit 4 drives.

If you’re out of SATA ports or M2s you can buy PCI adapters.

If you’re buying SSDs they’re small and don’t care about orientation, can but plugged into the cables and stuffed anywhere in the case that doesn’t impede airflow.

Where do you want your drives? What sort of drives? I’ve also found it more performant to stuff them in the case and 4 drives isn’t a stretch unless you’re also running a ton in the target server.

Fastmail.

But, it’s not the cheapest. $5 a month gets what you need though.

Really quick WebUI, great features, including hosting your own domains and smtp rewriting.

Very smart helpful support team.

Great for degoogling.

The major email providers will only handle email from know good and trusted IPs. If you’ve been hosting on the same IP for 15 years you’re trusted. If you started it last night your IP is still untrusted. It takes a long time to gain trust.
