i knew what i did and why i did it, two years ago, after which i never had to touch it again until now

Hahaha, true. This is why I try to keep as many notes as possible, leave lots of comments, add READMEs, links, and otherwise document what I did and why.

It’s not perfect, it’s often tedious, and I don’t always do it, but when I come back 2 years later wondering why I set some random option, it’s pretty nice having at least some hint.

site-to-site VPN configurations between routers at each location … the router itself handle routing of specific traffic over the VPN connection, instead of needing each device to connect to the VPN individually.

Interesting. This could help with my home network and my parent’s, but I also need to handle cases where I don’t control the network. I have clients that are phones. My family would expect that the services keep working even if they’re in a different city on cellular or at a friend’s house.

What kinds of things are you planning to expose?

Primarily Jellyfin and Immich.

What I expose I hide behind a reverse proxy with IP whitelists.

Do all your clients have fixed IPs? I have some clients that are phones or laptops, but I would imagine those change as people drive around to different cities or connect to different coffee shop WiFi.

I am kinda interested in WireGuard, but how does it work with multiple non-PC devices on different networks? Tailscale runs seamlessly on my Arch laptop, but Android, TVs, and streaming sticks have hiccups from time to time.

I have services that I want to share with my non-techie family. If a service stops working, they suck at debugging and fixing the issue on their own.

you understand it more when you build something by yourself, so it’s easier for you to fix it when it’s broken.

For me, this is a big selling point. Instead of trying to figure out why someone did something or wrestling with their decisions, I know what I did, why I did it, and if necessary, and I can change it.

Yeah, I used to give myself buzz cuts. 1 length all around. Not too difficult.

Every time I hear him speak, I am reminded of just how stupid he is.

I know this is common knowledge on Lemmy, but damn it’s still nice to read. When I talk to folks around town, they all think he’s a genius… it’s really jarring.

Wat. Naow…

looks left - Someone installing Guix

looks right - Someone browsing their Immich library on Librewolf

looks behind - Someone commenting about how we shouldn’t support facists

looks across the street - Google, Apple, Facebook, Walmart, MAGA, OBEY, SLEEP, MARRY AND REPRODUCE

Well… fuck.

I’ve considered a safe, but I’ve heard the paper contents may mold if left in there too long. Currently too lazy to manage that.

Ask Lemmy.

I’ve noticed the more subscriptions I add, the slower my feed loads. All does seem to load faster for me as well.

Big problem: I’ve spent too much time trying to install Seafile in my environment.

Prevent it from getting worse: Maybe just use Filebrowser?

Oooooh, ok. TIL.

At least Arch and Debian seem to use top from procps-ng. Good to know.

^^^^ get to posting, OP! These comms aren’t gonna fill themselves!

I missed this part during my first read:

This screen allows you to customise which fields are displayed in the currently selected window. Use cursor keys (or Alt + j and k) to move up and down this list, d to toggle whether a field is displayed and s to choose the field by which the window is sorted.

and when I tried it, it seemed like my commands weren’t doing anything… so in case anyone else finds this helpful…

How to sort columns in top.

• Launch top
• Press f (not SHIFT+F)
• Use arrow keys or alt+j / alt+k to select a column
• Press s to sort by the column you’ve currently selected
  • note: you won’t get any obvious feedback, this is normal… I guess
  • look at the top line: whose current sort field is $COLUMN_NAME
  • this line will change when you press s
• Press q to exit the Fields Management screen
• Selected column should now be sorted from largest to smallest

At this point, top may not look like it sorted the selected column. It may be helpful to tell top to highlight the currently sorted column. Press x to do this.

Now it should be easier to tell which column was sorted.

Wait… what?

$ top --version

Oh, so these guys manage top and a few other common utilities.

I would often just grab htop because I had no idea how to read the CPU usage out of top.

lol, same! 1t gets me 90% of the functionality I use in htop.

Wow. wat. This is top??

The only reason I use htop is because I never bothered to learn top. I’m totally down to avoid downloading and installing another utility though. The time to learn top is TODAY!

ALBANIA!
