Gonna need a bit more info.

Are you saying they are billing you for living with them pre-adulthood?

Making you pay rent to stay, now that you are an adult?

Or is this a more existential; ‘you brought me into this world, I didn’t ask to exist’ kinda thing?

I began paying rent to my Mother once I began working and left high school, contributing to the household bills + food. Cost of living and all that; even if your parents own the home, keeping it and supplying food+utilities isn’t free. I don’t resent her for that at all; I can’t say I’d expect anything different.

You’ve won the lottery; obviously your only option is to immediately develop unsustainable spending habits while abandoning all sources of income.

Democracy is dieing with barely a whimper…

The politicians were put there by the people.

The majority of citizens in America either voted for this, or didn’t bother to vote against it. The country is at the very least complicit with what your politicians are doing.

There’s definitely people that oppose what’s happening; but they’re showing themselves to be a quiet minority so far.

Don’t agree with or support what’s happening? Rise up and make yourself heard; because so far your leaders and the world can’t hear you. You may not have the freedom to do so, soon enough.

That is one beefy fan for a rpi.

I’ve just got a case similar to this; but all snap together, no screws:

The fan runs off the pin headers. Meant for 5v, but I use the 3.3v line to run it a little quieter/slower.

Even that makes a good 10°c difference.

I’m running ~30 containers, but they don’t typically all get new updates at the same time.

Updates are grabbed nightly, and I think the most I’ve seen update at once is like 6 containers.

Could be a problem for setting up a new system, or experimenting with new toys.

What is the api error (click on the red box)?

Likely unable to reach the host provided.

In paperless’ docker compose, set ‘container_name:’ to ‘paperless’ or similar, then use that same name as the host given to homepage:

   widget:
     type: paperlessngx
     url: "http://paperless:8000/"
     key: [key]

“code”: “ETIMEDOUT”

Homepage is unable to reach the host you gave it. IP/hostname changed.

Don’t use the IP of the container, use its name (which you should set in paperless’ compose file: ‘container_name: paperless’)

I’ve been pretty lazy with this.

I used to use my hotmail account, but they disabled password auth for smtp and many programs dont support 0auth2.

With that change, I just moved to using gmail. You’ve gotta create an App Password for smtp, but other wise works fine.

I’ve just been too lazy to move out of gmail+hotmail. Maybe one day

I don’t actually remember the models, just the story. This was around 2010.

My first job, I saved every penny I’d made working with my dad over the summer installing wood-pellet and solar heating systems in Australia.

Took that to my local computer shop and picked out a laptop I’d had my eye on for the whole year (I don’t even remember the brand on this one tbh, too long ago for my crap memory). It was the last one they had of that model; so they had to take the display unit, format it, and give me that. Halfway through that process they shut it down and handed it to me; said I could turn it on at home and it would finish re-installing windows and all would be good. (spoiler, no it was not)

When I got it home, it refused to start at all. After a bunch of screwing around (pretty new to computers, didn’t really know what I was doing and had no one with tech experience around me) I took it back to the store and was told it had corrupted the recovery partition it was re-installing windows from and would have to be sent to the manufacturer to be fixed.

From there we decided to trade it with a slightly cheaper HP laptop (HP Pavilion I think? One of their models with a fingerprint scanner and dual graphics) that became my gaming machine for the next like 7 years. Plus because of this being the shops screwup: they gave me a 1tb usb drive, a laptop bag, and a random wifi router all for free. That drive saved me soo many times holding important data while I screwed up the OS and reinstalled crap while I experimented and learned. Then the router got DDWRT flashed to it and became a wifi client bridge for connecting wired clients to wifi during LAN parties. That poor laptop went through hell; being the testbed and primary machine for my teenage shenanigans, but it held up pretty well considering. Stripping it apart once a year or so to clean all the dust out and refresh the factory thermal paste helped quite a bit.

A fond memories. It all works out in the end.

Eventually I replaced that laptop with a custom built rig housing an i7-8700k and an RTX3080 that now hosts 30ish docker services and serves media to friends+family ~12 solid hours a day on average.

Thanks for comming on my walk down nostalgia lane.

They make modern versions for cats. But putting your baby in one…?

Maybe the parents weren’t watching the kid close enough and they climbed in there on their own.

Oh! Wouldn’t that be a nice resolution…

Put the President and Trump on an unsafe plane and sent that bitch on a nice long flight over the ocean.

Yeah; rising heat, plus the extra insulation of neighbours sharing walls. It’s uniform enough that the walls/floor doesn’t feel any warmer than usual, but it makes a difference.

Are you in a house or an apartment?

I’m on the fifth floor and pretty much never have to run my heat.

Little of column A little of column B.

I use pihole on the LAN, then upstream is cloudflared translating DNS to DOH using NextDNS as the primary and Quad9 as the fallback.

Looking at the last 24hrs; my whole LAN network has made 91k DNS requests, 14.5% of that being passed to the upstream (the rest is locally cached responses or blocked) so ~12.7k served by NextDNS. When/if that 300k limit is reached, cloudflared will just fallback to Quad9.

With this I get the blocking from NextDNS as well as whatever additional lists I want to use; plus pihole serves local only records for self-hosted services and fixed names for LAN devices (I find standard broadcasted hostnames unreliable at best).

It’s really nice for random browsing/apps. Games, free tools, general web browsing; none of it loads ads.

Some mobile games will even attempt to load ads, fail, then give you the reward for ‘watching’ the ad.

It also stops devices from phoning home to upload telemetry and blocks known malware domains. (depends on the lists you use, heres a source for some lists)

They’ve added a bit more info to the query log, when you click on individual items.

It’s still not a native feature, but; You can add DOH using cloudflared, incl configuring which upstream(s) to use (you don’t have to use cloudflare itself, just the tool).

There’s even a docker version.

I’m using orbital-sync, it’s not currently compatible with v6; but that’s what they’re working on now.

Hopefully not too long.

Nice!

Upgrade went smoothly on docker, with some neat new additions. There’s new filter options in the query log. There’s a bunch of new metrics under Settings > System (enable ‘advanced’ in the top right). And overall there seems to be many more settings available under System > All Settings. For example you can easily set the TTL for blocked responses (this was a setting burried in config files before, I was looking for it like 2 weeks ago).

If you don’t use/set a password in pihole, or you set one via .env variables; you’ll probably have to reset it with the command:

sudo docker exec <container_name> sudo pihole setpassword <your password here>

(empty for no password)

/edit; seems that was a temporary solution.

These env variables have changed:

Was: webpassword=<your password>

DNS1=<upstream1>

DNS2=<upstream2>

Now: FTLCONF_dns_upstream=<upstream1;upstream2>

FTLCONF_webserver_api_password=<your password here>
