Reverse proxy/SOCKS5 works well in my experience.

I have a little computer on my network which runs my VPN - then on that computer I have ssh listening on a non-standard port that my VPN’s dyndns links up to a human readable hostname with a different port.

If I want to watch stuff off-network I just have to ssh -D to that hostname and port and then configure a browser to use the connection as a SOCKS5 proxy, then jellyfin and anything else I’m hosting works as if locally through that browser.

The ssh is key based as well, not password based - haven’t had any incidents in doing it this way.

Yes I have seen a lot of this today and also on occasion over the last few months.

I ran a traceroute to the domain while this was occurring and found that the packets were all getting to the destination even though it is quite far from me (coming up on 15 hops) so I expect that the problem is on the domains side, failing to respond in some capacity. Did not have more time to diagnose what the issue may be further though.

Can you give some more details on the redlib instance and it’s usage for doing as much? I am in the same boat as you and would much prefer being able to have some kind of redirect if I have to look at content under some reddit link.

Thanks.

Yes as I’m afraid that was one of the expected parts.

According to NASA, the length of the celestial object is 366 meters. The distance from 387746 (2003 MH4) to the planet Earth will be 6,676,580 km.

If an asteroid approaches the Earth at a distance closer than 7.5 million kilometers and its size exceeds 150 meters, NASA considers it a “potentially hazardous object.”

So there is basically no chance of impact as I understand it unless some suuuuuuuuper unexpected shit happens I guess.

Awesome, thanks! It didn’t occur to me that IKEA could be an option!

Thanks for the tips and the link, that’s super useful!

Unsure about the iLO, but I do recall powering on one of these remotely in school using it. I’ll have to wait until I find some power cable to take a look I believe, but I do see a sticker with the default user name and password for it on the side, so here’s hoping haha.

I have a PLA 3d Printer, but I fear PLA has too low of a melting point to use for server components. It would be neat if there were a caddie model out there I could test with though - will have to look around.

Thanks for the insight on the rack as well, that will be good to know in the future I am certain.

Burned my accounts, moved to Tuta.

I have a hard time with this and I also sleep with exceptionally good ear plugs.

My solution was to purchase an alarm clock made for people hard of hearing.

It has a mattress shaker in addition to a super loud alarm, either can be toggled. I typically use the mattress shaker. The first time I used it I sprung out of bed in a panic because I thought that the building was collapsing, so I can verify they are very effective.

Things you can do to prevent yourself from returning to sleep after disabling the alarm include putting your alarm at the foot of the bed instead of to the side of the bed (This way, you have to physically get up to go turn it off), and insuring it is warm in the room when you get up (If it is cold, you will instinctively want to go back underneath the covers). A space heater on a timer set to begin 15 minutes before your alarm goes off helps with this.

Another reason people don’t want to get up is because they have performed no real preparation for waking up. By this I mean to have your coffee machine timed to preheat just before you get up, set up your breakfast the night before so that it is easy to make and consume in the morning, have the clothes you intend to wear laid out so that its easy to get dressed, etc.

In short, it is generally good to make it difficult to keep sleeping, but also easier to wake up.

So it looks like the brother driver utility installed both brlaser and brscan3, however it still wont detect unfortunately. Thanks for the welcome though!

Nice! Yea a disk from 2013 would not only have been hanging on by a thread but I also guarantee it had never been defragged haha.

Best of luck to you in resolving!

My move for my parents to Mint went very well thankfully. Brother even supplies Linux drivers for their printers as a I found out and printing works great, but even after installing their scanner driver for the model, I can’t seem to get any scanning softwares to detect it so I’ll have to look into that part further.

Otherwise everything else runs super smooth. Now I have to deal with my system!

Thank you, this is very informative.

Thankfully I have ~15 TB of external storage so backing up the totality of the internal storage shouldn’t be an enormous problem.

Beautiful, I did not realize it was a fork, this is even better news!

This is top tier information, thank you very much :)

Very glad to hear that at least one person out there had a good experience in doing what I will be trying to do.

I am not currently striping the storage, but traditionally I have used one as the drive for the entire OS and then the secondary one is for extended file storage for things I frequently access which require a large amount of storage (I have a game called STALKER Gamma installed which is essentially a collection of mods so it is hundreds of GB, I have enormous files for 3D work such as textures etc, and a great deal of music/video files).

I am especially appreciative you brought this up though as I had not considered changing the configuration. To me, striping sounds like it might be the way to go based on how I tend to use the storage, but this might be because I am unaware of the benefits of having a full disk dedicated to /home.

Can you expand on why that may be preferable as I would be super interested to hear about the potential benefits!

Thanks

Thank you and I agree, the power on the command line is something I miss every day I use windows so I believe I will be much happier after the switch!

Good to know, I’m certain they wouldn’t have a problem as they learned open office easily enough. Can confirm Mint comes with Libre Office installed as well as Thunderbird which they also currently use as their email client. Thank you!

Thank You, I will take that under consideration :)

Wasn’t my floor, friend dropped a steak knife which landed tip down, took a big ass chip out of it. Guess they didn’t varnish/seal it, they just stained it?
