Netgate are shitbags. Fuck pfSense.

The AIO mastercontainer seems to do fine on Apache, but when I had it dockerized myself, I used nginx and it was fine. I really think the main point is using postgres and redis. Mysql isn’t great and sqlite is terribad in the stack.

You cover a lot of topics in each episode. Maybe cut them down to get a shorter episode, and budget the time to expand a couple of the more interesting ones. Use the more in-depth topics to drive a Premium, no-ads channel.

I look at Linux Unplugged as way too long, but really they don’t cover very much in an episode. They spend more time reading their boosts and usually I just skip out at that point. But I guess that’s where they get paid from, so I get it.

I’m not sure that the Linux landscape is a place where you’re going to pay for the time of running a podcast, but as long as you enjoy helping people with bringing them information and pointing them at new things, at least you’ll be getting that satisfaction.

Do you ever send mails to Gmail and Office365

All the time, never had an issue. I get dmarc reports constantly since I set my dmarc to notify, not just failed, but I’ve never seen PTR checked on Microsoft or google. It passes SPF and DKIM (presumably spam but you don’t get a report for that) and they let it through. I used to think it was because I’ve had most of my domains for a long time, but the couple times I’ve brought a new domain online, they seem to be fine with them.

Now they might be passed because my old domains have never had an issue and they get associated because they come from the same IP?

My ISP would let me set a PTR if I wanted but I haven’t bothered because it doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Selfhost several domains for over 25 years, from home, on a dynamic IP (though it hasn’t changed in a long time) and no PTR records, and I have literally had zero problems with blacklisting or dropped connections. I must live a charmed life, or have set up my DKIM/SPF/dmarc records correctly.

Currently using mailcow-dockerized and it’s lovely.

I’ve listened to a few episodes over the last few months and enjoyed some of the topics, especially the interview with that Nextcloud fellow.

Except for the interview, I do find an hour is more than I can take at once, though. I lean towards Joe Ressington’s “make them want more” half-hour podcasts every week. Just my 2 cents.

They’re determined to Streisand Effect this into the history books, huh?

Oh, and we’re showing all your friends what you watch without you asking for it. And by friends, we mean everyone we leaked your account and payment details to. Twice.

Why the literal fuck anyone has anything to do with Plex at this point is beyond me. They don’t supply anything unique and they abuse you to do it.

Why both, I thought they each do about the same thing?

Run a proxmox VM with docker services. ZFS snapshots and backups via PBS.

Claire would be pushing people into the showers and complaining that they looked at her funny before she closed the airtight door.

You don’t want to go down that road in Canada. We’ve had the metric system for 50 years now and the way we measure things around here is schizophrenic.

There’s 3 systems; imperial, metric, and time. And you might measure the same thing in all three depending on the magnitude of the measurement. Very short distances are in mm and cm, a little more is in inches and feet (height, carpentry), then miles because our rural road grid is laid out in miles, then kilometers because the highway is all signposted in metric, then minutes and hours because the distance between towns and cities isn’t relevant when you account for weather.

“Barrhead is about 2 hours north, when you get to the end of town, go 20km until you get to a 4 ways stop. Go 4 miles north and turn left. About 200 meters from the corner will be a driveway, turn in there and about 40 feet in you’ll want to park and walk from there.”

These are annoying as hell. You can’t pick a system and then just go because you always end up measuring with both sides of the tape depending on how things are oriented, so now you have one side that isn’t useful.

Just get a metric tape when you need a metric tape and vice versa. The dual tapes are for housewives.

I have one, it’s OK. Not much of a stickout, it flops at about 6 or 8’. It’s certainly not made like their machining instruments.

Yah, I use a few Starett instruments in the shop, they’re pretty nice. But these aren’t anything special, I have one. It’s just a tape measure and not even particularly well built. I don’t think it’ll survive many drops, not like my Fat Max tape. But then again, it won’t leave a dent in the floor like the Stanley.

240V electric heater wired with a plug that fits the dryer socket. If the furnace craters, you can probably keep the house from freezing up, especially in the water line areas around and above the laundry.

Because apparently there are some really, really dumb fuckers out there, and they make decisions for the rest of us.

“Great success!”

Debian. Just Debian. No drama.

I use Pinchflat, but I’ll take Youtube channel feeds instead so it can employ Sponsorblock and cut the commercials, especially for podcasters that use IHR. It then exports an RSS feed for Antennapod to monitor, but I imagine you could just write the episodes to a Navidrome-accessible folder.
