And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.

Thank you!

• and they have Los Angeles, which is perfect

Thank you! I haven’t heard of racknerd/low end box, I’ll have to check them out. Yeah I’m not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.

I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I’m a bit worried for my end

How much bandwidth is used via the VPS in this instance? I’ve seen most VPS in the USA have a limit of 1TB of bandwidth.

How many users are you sharing with?

I know Hetzner does 20TB bandwidth, but that is only EU servers as far as I know.

Tomorrow for sure™

Been falling asleep to music recently, using Finamp and set a timer for 90 minutes because sometimes it takes me 30+ min to fall asleep. Wear one ear piece, so it’s not to drown out noise, just something to fall asleep to

I use KeePassXC/DX with Syncthing for 5ish years now. I think I had one database sync conflict in all that time.

Super solid, never have had to worry about these shenanigans with LastPass or 1pass or bitwarden or whatever

Ex-hiring manager here.

We preferred certs that were tied to specific software solutions.

So the A+, Linux+, Sec+, LPIC, etc. were fine but those are generalized.

We looked for Red Hat certs, vmware, aws, etc. because that was the software we used.

Of course general Linux skills are sought after, but less training was required for the specific certs to a certain sense.

I used to be a hiring manager for a Linux team(I enthusiastically stepped down because upper management sucks) and we valued tech certs, especially if you could talk the talk.

We had dudes come in with degrees in CS or Cyber and had zero command line knowledge. Of course there were more knowledgable folks but… yeah. Degrees weren’t required either just “desired”.

We never required, but definitely listed specific certs that were relevant like the RHCSA. However, if you had like the A+ and some years of help desk experience we’d interview you and we got some good hires that way because they hadn’t learned bad habits by then like some…more experienced applicants had.

And another thing I have not heard yet. Dokploy looks really enticing just from a brief look at their site, I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to look into. Thank you!

How long have you been running this type of setup?

How is swarm support/integration with Dokploy? Are you able to initiate the swarm and also connect other docker nodes to that swarm all through the webgui or does Dokploy just see and attach to the swarm after its been setup? Are you able to manage it all through the gui? Swing/motion containers to other nodes, etc.

I’ll definitely need to deploy it in a test environment and see how it all works. Thank you again!

Glad to hear I’m not crazy with different distros haha. I wanted to be able to have different “enviroments” to keep familiar with release schedules, package managers, and just the flow of the distro. I’ve been using nothing but Debian/Ubuntu in my homelab for ~10 years now, at work we use RHEL, and for my desktops I’m on Arch. I’ll have to look into pinning.

I’ve never heard of Nomad(love the name) so I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to research. Looking at their site it looks solid, but want to weigh my options once I’ve loomed at everything.

And thanks for your comment! I’ve been doing this a long time and nothing “tickles” my brain more than something in my homelab breaking and I have to figure out how to fix it and then prevent it going forward.

I count 38 states. Looks like South Carolina and North Dakota is missing at least.

Hmm, I’ll have to play around with it a bit more then to see if I can trigger it.

My only gripe is the browser autofill. Sometimes it triggers correctly and sometimes it doesn’t. I’ve noticed if I let KeePass add in a new login itself after I’ve manually entered it then it’s much more receptive to suggesting that login correctly going forward. So I’m tempted to create a brand new database and login everything manually so KeePass will create the database entries itself to fix my gripe.

I’ve been using KeePass with Syncthing for 5+ years now and I think I’ve only had a sync issue once in all this time.

Granted I do make sure I only use the database on one device at a time (so not making edits on desktop and my phone at the same time) and I’m using XC and DX clients not the OG KeePass program.

I’m curious what is causing sync issues to make it “common”, I use my db every day.

Yup, been doing this combo for 5-6 years now.

I use KeePassXC on desktop and KeePassDX on Android. No issues whatsoever.

I do have a NAS so that’s my “always on” device for Syncthing. Everything syncs up within like 10-15 seconds when a device connects.

I also use a key file as a pseudo 2FA that I keep on a flash drive, so you’d need my master password and my key file to unlock the database.

Happy to see. I tried playing the Linux version of PokeMMO and it sees “Steam Controller” and adds it in the game settings, but I cannot remap any of the controls. Even adding the game to Steam as a non-Steam game won’t work as Steam Input/Overlay can’t wrap around the process correctly(or at least I couldn’t find a way).

Ended up downloading the .exe version, added that to Steam, and then I could use Steam Input to play the game and setup controller layouts for it.

Thanks! I had no idea about this, wish it was a little more robust but I’ll definitely be sharing this app with others!

Well I found good alternatives(Fossify stuff) or most apps I use already have GitHub releases. I just need to try these apps out and if I dont like them then find other alternatives. Like map apps, calendar, voice recorder, etc. Again I found alts, just not sure how they’ll actually function until using them.

My biggest one is the Steam app for their authenticator. I read some stuff online that Aegis supposedly can work as a Steam auth, but yeah.

I’m about to make the switch myself. I have a Pixel tablet and a P9 Pro. I swapped my tablet over just so I can test things out. I want to deGoogle completely. No play store.

So far I’ve had to make a list of all my apps I have on my phone and go one-by-one seeing if there’s an apk for it somewhere outside of play store, and if not, then if there’s an alternative app, and then website or PWA it is.

I’ve come to realize I have a lot of unnecessary bullshit on my phone to begin with. Think I’ll make the switch this weekend, just need to find a few more alternatives to specific apps.

Yeah I have 500+ games on my wishlist. Just to keep track of specific games. Stuff has been on there for years.

I do wonder how many Steam Deck owners would also want the controller and what the ratio is. There’s how many Steam Deck owners? 3-4 million? Even if 5% of those wanted a controller that’s 200k. 25% is almost a million. And then there’s the people that only want the controller for their PC/HTPC, others potentially buying for their future Steam Machine…

I would guestimate 2 million controllers on the conservative side, 6 million on the other end.

I do wonder if they expected 5 million and demand is over 10 million…or more…would explain the OOS and lack of a reserve system if they thought they’d had enough.
