Could also be a good opportunity to add a service monitor like Uptime Kuma. That way you know what services are still down once things come back online with less manual discovery on your part.

Only because I was randomly invited to one by a friend, otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered with it.

Love the concept. Waiting to see how it grows. The wife approval factor isn’t there quite yet.

Overseer if you use plex and jellyseer if you use Jellyfin.

Makes the content browsing experience pretty fantastic.

I was using that same docker image for a while but somewhat recently migrated to this: https://github.com/favonia/cloudflare-ddns

It handles 5 of my domains all from the single container. Highly recommend it!

I feel like this would just push more nontechies to learn how to be better pirates. It would do very little to stop piracy.

If you woke up and all of that data was gone tomorrow but you didn’t care, then there is no reason to back it up IMO.

Hell, I download things multiple times sometimes just to spite Comcast.

If it’s a dns block I’d highly recommend setting up your own recursive dns resolver. Something like pihole and unbound. That way you query the authoritative servers directly and your ISP can’t filter your content as effectively since they would be limited to incredibly ineffective IP based filtering.

I wonder how long until we get to jailbreak our cars just so those cock suckers can’t spy on us.

I am horrified, but equally impressed 😂

I would HIGHLY recommend that for something as essential as DNS, you should be running it on its own hardware. Considering, as you’ve experienced, that any issues result in a complete loss of normal access to the internet.

You can run pihole on something as small as a Raspberry Pi zero w, then just set it with a static IP and forget about it.

Considering you said you’re currently using WSL I suspect there is an extra layer of networking bullshit that is breaking your routing. If you haven’t already looked at this document, it might have the information you need https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/networking#accessing-windows-networking-apps-from-linux-host-ip

But for the sake of stable DNS services you will thank yourself for just getting a dedicated device of any power level to ONLY handle DNS.

I’ve got a few layers of security for my homelab setup that make me feel pretty comfortable against random attacks.

Cloudflare is used to manage my domains and act as an external proxy to obscure my IP address, I’ve only forwarded ports 80 and 443 to Traefik my containerized reverse proxy, Authelia to add 2FA to services that I feel should have extra protection and my homelab nodes are on a separate vlan that is configured to drop all attempts to initiate communication outside of that vlan. I also use the ubiquity intrusion detection and prevention features on my firewall to attempt to stop any know malicious activity.

A majority of these configurations are overkill for a homelab, but were fun to implement. If you use a reverse proxy and keep your software up to date you will likely be fine unless you are specifically targeted by skilled hackers. Any random scans, or shotgun style attacks tend to target unpatched vulnerabilities.

My conversation with the moronic MBAs that lead my org today. Who cares about doing impactful work when we can just do useless busy work that makes the nontechnical morons happy.
