Join lat-team private tracker. They have everything you’d ever want.

Your first suggestion is a clever one.

I can imagine writing a small script on the host machine to listen for subdomains, forward them to pfsense to update the aliases, and possibly set them to expire after a few days for security reasons.

Surely something like this exists. How to find it…?

There’s a few apps I need to split out. Top priority is the signiant app which according to their documentation requires various AWS subdomains as well as their own. Specific subdomains are not specified and are implied to change regularly/on demand.

In an ideal world I would do my split tunneling on the device itself, but I don’t trust Windows and thus I run my VPN at the router level.

This isn’t a problem for most things, but I need to utilize my full bandwidth to transfer large files to clients in a timely manner, and a VPN becomes a massive bottleneck.

Pfsense lets you alias by domain name (I believe it regularly resolves down to an IP and uses that for filtering), but again, you need to supply the exact subdomain.

Just wondering if there’s an alternative solution to this issue. If it’s external to pfsense that’s not the end of the world.

Worst case scenario, I would set up a dedicated Linux box or maybe even a VM which could share access to the file transfer NAS and split tunnel the entire box around the VPN. Definitely less convenient.

This looks promising. I’m going to investigate further. Thanks!

I’d like to know as well, but it seems strange for ncdu to take that long. I scan through terrabytes within a few seconds.

Lots of shit-talking Bazzite…

I don’t game much but when I do it’s on Fedora.

What distro do you all recommend for my Windows buddy looking to switch to gaming on Linux?

We’ve all been there. It’s super frustrating but once you’ve attained enough experience with a Linux OS you come to appreciate it and the problems either become less impactful or disappear as you learn to anticipate your actions causing said issues and adjust your behavior accordingly.

I’ve been a Windows user for multitudes longer than I’ve been a Linux user. It took me a few years to become a fairly advanced user of Linux. When I occasionally have to use Windows for work I still struggle to troubleshoot anything and am constantly frustrated knowing a task I’m doing could be many times simpler if I was on Linux.

This frustrates me to no end. I follow piracy and privacy communities that only use discord for discussion. It defies logic.

Try turning off the device, remove the battery, then take a safety pin and compressed air and scrape out any dust I’m the usb-c port then spray with air. I had a issue with my phone charging but not getting data. I spent a solid 15mins doing the above and it fixed it.

A good test is to see how firmly the usb-c sticks in the port. If it comes out pretty easy or feels seated sloppily then it probably just needs a good cleaning.

I have trouble finding multi language releases through the usual avenues.

Thanks. Yeah I watch all of the open signups feeds and Ive got a TL account. I’m trying to get into a Spanish dub tracker but there’s not many

Much appreciated but no thank you. Right now I’m specifically trying to get into a tracker for Spanish dubs. Ive got a bunch of English TV/Movie trackers so I’m good on that front.

I appreciate you. To me it seems silly to advocate for piracy and also place some moral line when it comes to buying access to a tracker. In some cases you just want quick access without the whole rigmarole of waiting for an opensignup or having to take a test/application.

It would be cool if I could simply pay the tracker directly to get access. Once I’m there they’ll see I keep a great ratio anyway. Maybe the seedbox angle could achieve that.

Thanks this sounds perfect. Just need to figure out how to get an invite. I hate that they can only be contacted over discord. Ugh

Yes, it will count towards your bandwidth.

I typically don’t get anywhere close to this though.

The few times I did were due to initiating large backups between devices, upwards of 2TB. But I’ve since moved my backup system to a mesh network and haven’t hit bandwidth overages since.

I recommend it every time this question pops up and I’m surprised more people aren’t privy to it:

Rent a VPS as your public gateway. Connect the VPS to your server with a simple wireguard tunnel.

The only thing on the VPS should be a reverse proxy with SSL/TLS pass through.

Send the traffic at the VPS reverse proxy to a reverse proxy on the main server. Configure this proxy to use letsencrypt certs.

The benefit and importance of the SSL pass through reverse proxy, is that it allows all data in transit to remain encrypted until it reaches your physical server. Traditionally, most would suggest the one and only reverse proxy exist on the VPS but all traffic would then be decrypted on the VPS. This could obviously compromise your traffic if the VPS provider snoops or your VPS is compromised.

Cloudflare tunnels decrypt on their hardware as well, which is why I always recommend avoiding their services.

Backblaze deleted my project drive for a multimillion dollar project I was archiving through their desktop sync. It’s largely my fault for not noticing the drive had failed when considering their upfront policy about them deleting your backups after a month of inactivity. Luckily it didn’t have too big of an impact because the most important files were backed up elsewhere. I do wish their desktop app had better warnings about imminent deletions though.

This is encouraging. Thank you.

I use nginx for static websites and TLS passthrough servers.

I use traefik as a reverse proxy for sites with many services and SSO.

Nginx is definitely easier to configure for simple things. But I prefer traefik for more complex setups.
