Certainly has me concerned. I’ll have to investigate a bit more into the financial solvency of the company to better understand whether they are at least covering bills and such… but honestly sounds like they aren’t and haven’t been.

Going to need to start looking for alternative S3 type storage.

that’s pretty obvious. Their body panels are falling off and showing how little there actually is their vehicles :D

Assuming that Tesla goes bankrupt, actually shuts down forever, and shuts its servers down…

At a minimum someone would have to find out where the software sends and receives data from. Then you’d have to reverse engineer the software to control the vehicles.

Then you’d have to reprogram the software to send to your C&C server. I don’t think it would really take all that much to host that… it’s getting there that’s difficult.

I’d have to have friends across the internet that wanted files first…

Some that I’ve been on and off listening to (because I struggle to consistently listen to anything in particular)

• UNBIASED politics
• ChooseFI
• do it yourself

There’s a bunch of other financial coaching type podcasts that I’ve listened to, but I haven’t been much in the financial coaching game in a while

100%. That’s how I started, that’s how I continue to operate. Currently have a few HP prodesk and elite desk mini pcs, my old desktop converted to be a proxmox node that runs OPNsense as a vm, and an even older desktop that runs TrueNAS. However, I would like to replace my current truenas system with something newer and lower power as it consumes quite a bit for what it’s doing.

To add:

• Jeff Geerling
• Raid Owl
• Hardware Haven
• Apalrd Adventures
• BeardedTinker
• Craft Computing

I follow these and some other I can’t think of the name right now, but some great resources!

Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.

Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!

Find something that interests you, and look at the docs of how to get started. It literally is the easiest way to learn and get involved in self hosting

Sounds like you should be good there then!

@[email protected] has a great response and also suggests using AdGuard Home instead, which is what I run as well. The biggest benefits the AGH has over PiHole for my family is the fact that you can very easily define a Client and the ips that pertain to that client… so I can define a single client for all of my devices , a single client for each of my kids, etc.

Then from there I can block specific services like social media platforms per client group or allow them. And similar to PiHole, I can setup all the blocklists that I want and it’ll block them across all clients.

For my kids, this means it’s blocking all those pesky ads that pop up in games getting them to go and download more mind numbing and draining games…

Finally, I can keep tabs on my network traffic and see what individual devices are accessing what domains; however, this doesn’t mean that I can see the individual web pages.

I have two AGH instances setup on two different hosts, and an additional AdGuardHome-sync container that syncs between the two instances, to make sure that all settings are mirrored.

Honestly I think this might be a better way than what I’m using now. I’ve subbed to dockerrelease.io (edit: docker-notify.com) and releasealert.dev … get spammed all day everyday because the devs keep pushing all sorts of updates to old branches… or because those sites aren’t configured well.

I agree that you’ll want to figure out inter-pod networking.

In docker, you can create a specific “external” network (external to the docker container is my understanding) and then you can attach the docker compose stack to that network and talk using the hostnames of the containers.

Personally, I would avoid host network mode as you expose those containers to the world (good if you want that, bad if you don’t)… possibly the same with using the public IP address of your instance.

You could alternatively bind the ports to 127.0.0.1 which would restrict them from exposing to internet… (see above)

So just depends on how you want to approach it.

I am running AdGuard Home DNS, not PiHole… but same idea. I have AGH running in two LXCs on proxmox (containers). I have all DHCP zones configured to point to both instances, and I never reboot both at the same time. Additionally, I watch the status of the service to make sure it’s running before I reboot the other instance.

Outside of that, there’s really no other approach.

You would still need at least 2 DNS servers, but you could setup some sort of virtual IP or load balancing IP and configure DHCP to point to that IP, so when one instance goes down then it fails over to the other instance.

Thanks mate!

Like others, I started with owncloud but when Nextcloud forked I switched within a year. I haven’t looked back and is working without any issues and is performant.

I don’t really care about the enterprise shit since it’s not being shoved in my face 🤷🏼‍♂️

These are some concerns I’ve had too, but I think there’s progress being made.

Currently, it seems for the account migration/duplication is a self hosted effort but something that I’ve been looking into making a site for.

As for the long term viability of these instances, I would say it’s pretty rare that a bigger instance run by good admins go down frequently. The costs aren’t usually that high and can be managed fairly easily. From what I’ve seen, these instances are usually donation-based “monetization” so if no one donates its on the instance owner to eat the costs. In theory, one could make some sort of membership based instance, but I haven’t seen anything like that. I’ve seen discussions that if an instance was to start running ads that users would leave immediately… and that’s certainly their choice. It just makes it difficult if an instance is growing but does not have any contribution from the community to run the instance.

However, when the instance that people have registered on goes down, yes, they lose their progress, comments, history, etc… there is no way to transfer that to another instance.

Currently, there is only a way to move subscriptions, that I’m aware of.

As for the list of instances… that should be “unique” per instance, because that is the list of instances that are federating with the instance you’re looking at. So usually it’ll show the federating and blocking instances. So as long as at least one account is subscribing to those instances from your instance, it’ll show up there. Larger instances don’t necessarily need to seed their federation, but it’s common for new instances to seed federation and to start getting material out to the rest of the Fediverse.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bro I literally just looked up stats. I couldn’t a shot about what you think. You’re clearly just a troll that wants to do nothing better than ruin other peoples lives. Have fun with that miserable life.

Wouldn’t be surprised

Not into politics, but this tells me that our schools (not just colleges and universities) are going to have grave consequences too if he gets rid of the dept. it’s not just secondary education that will be affected. It seems that he is downplaying everything by just focusing on student loans.

Any idea how much federal funding is given to elementary, middle, and high schools in this country? It may not seem like a lot, but almost 14% of funding comes from the federal government, or about $2,500 on average per student in the US. Ref: https://usafacts.org/answers/what-percentage-of-public-school-funding-comes-from-the-federal-government/country/united-states/

As someone who has student loans that I can’t pay back with great speed due to other debts with higher interest rates, I do fear that there’s going to be a push to move all these loans to private sources and that’s going to jack up the repayment terms. Given that he clearly doesn’t care about the courts, laws, and what judges have ruled on in the past, I wouldn’t put it past private lenders to change the terms of the loans and fuck everyone over.
