I should set up that bitwarden feature that lets people ask for access and they get it if you don’t respond in a set amount of time.

Ah, yeah I feel that. Been dealing with it in my own setup, and sometimes they get annoyed when stuff gets done on my time 😅

I’ve thought about deploying overseerr to take some of that off me, but I’m lazy…

What’s wrong with your setup that makes you have to touch your stack constantly?

I have radarr and sonarr, and I only ever touch them to add media. Hell, I use prowlarr more than either of the others just cuz I don’t have any kind of management for other media I partake in

It sounds like your ubiquity and your ISP router are on the same LAN segment, which is not a good config.

You should never have multiple DHCP servers configured unless you’re intentionally split braining your vlan (only ever done that for HA purposes and using half of the pool on each). Im pretty sure you need to have your ISP connected to your cloud gateway, and all of your gear connected to the ubiquity. Your ISP router should only see your ubiquity, and that’s likely a good part of the reason you can’t see all the DHCP leases on your ubiquity gear.

Were I in your position, I’d probably disconnect everything and slowly reconnect stuff one piece at a time until you trip over what’s causing your issue. I doubt this is the case, but you could also have another DHCP server running on something you forgot about causing issues. Seen that many times before when doing small business network overhauls.

So, if you would, help me out with the ‘why’ part

It eliminates a single point of failure, can be used to bypass censorship, and allow for community support/engagement in a way that is harder to track and suppress (in that there’s no ‘central’ hub and you have to go after nodes individually. From an opsec point of view, you’re still broadcasting a signal that someone in range can pick up). Obviously it requires many devices to make a good mesh work, but short of DOSing every channel or just blowing out the signal space, it’s gonna be hard to take that down.

I see it as something like tor or i2p, not something for general use at the moment, but definitely has good uses.

There’s not really too much of a debate, just a lack of deep understanding of how the infrastructure works under the hood.

The other person (rightly) doesn’t want to share their local network (what’s behind your wifi router) with their neighbors. My only point was that, much like current ISPs, you don’t share any networking with your neighbors. The only thing remotely close to ‘shared’ would be the individual uplinks (your ISP connection) from each residence to the (shared) networking gear of the ISP.

A local ISP and a Telco aren’t (shouldn’t) going to be handling the base networking layer any differently. They’ll all have individual connections between them and subscribers, and the only way that I could get into your network is to setup services and configure either side to talk to the service on the other.

To actually ELI5 (which I am exceptionally bad at with actual 5yos), Alice and Bob both get their toys from Charles (Telco ISP) who charges a lot of money, and doesn’t treat them well when they try to use the toys they got. Dan comes a long and works with Ed and Fred to set up a local toy store and try to treat customers better. Bob (irmadlad) is concerned that the new local toy store means he’ll have to share the toys he bought with Alice, not realizing neither store makes you share your toys.

why would I want to hook my uplink to someone else’s network

Well, the biggest reason I could think of is that you want to access the Internet.

Your local network is only as good as the services you run, and most people don’t self host. If you choose not to hook your uplink to your ISPs network, you’re not gonna be able to do all that much.

Oh I get how it would all work, I’m not into sharing my network.

See, I’m struggling to think that you do. You’re not sharing your network with anyone. You’re just hooking your uplink into someone else’s network, who will take as much (or more, given how fucky current ISPs are) care to keep you and your neighbors from talking to each other without your own config letting it happen.

There is a user here that mentioned he is in funding talks for a local, independent ISP. I’m not really sure I’m ready to be connected to my neighbors intimately. Good fences make good neighbors.

Why do you think an independent ISP would operate any differently at the networking level on a per-customer basis? This is basic network segmentation, and my home gear can do that pretty easily. Throw each customer on their own vlan that’s a /30 and they can’t do anything more than talk from their node to the central router.

Good firewalls make good digital neighbors, and an independent ISP isn’t going to survive long if Alice can access Bob’s home network over the ISP without having something specifically configured in Bob’s network to allow that.

Some hobbies have minimal levels of skill/knowledge/equipment to properly do them, and I’d argue that self hosting is one of them. You can say people are hostile to beginners, but I might say people are trying to save them from themselves by not just telling them how to slap shit together so they can put it on the Internet and get owned by Internet Background Radiation in a short period of time.

My personal opinion is that beginners are too over confident in their skills or expect setting things up is like setting up an online account, and expect everything to be ready for them to install in their preferred method, and get upset when people tell them they need to upskill to be able to accomplish their goal.

An example of this is a conversation I had with someone online about some docker distributed app, and people were trying to get the person to use docker like the install doc says instead of trying to figure out how to just install it directly into the OS, because that’s the way they’re used to doing stuff and they were determined they weren’t going to change now despite the software author’s supported path not including direct install. If the person was willing to learn docker (which is not very difficult if you can follow a tutorial and use compose files), they’d be able to quickly accomplish what they want while also opening more doors for them in the future.

But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

That just means they need to ship the model and a way to run it locally. I’d love that, and wouldn’t give a shit if it took a long time to run on my hardware for something like that

I’m not surprised at all. My wife and I only use 3rd party metal bands because the factory bands gave us both chemical burns.

Yeah, who doesn’t want hot and humid air blowing in their face on a hot and humid day?

on-call standby pay, and on-call pay.

I’ve only had one place that gave me any kind of stipend to be on call, everywhere else just expects it as part of the job description with no added benefit.

I’ve used potash within the last week! Potash is here already mwahahahaha

Pardon me if I don’t believe the lying fascist at his word. Let’s hear from the victim/experts on how they’re doing.

Maybe they just pay attention? I saw this headline and thought “of course they will, never let a tragedy go to waste”

Maybe ivermectin will cure his burned down house.

I love that coffee cup
