Not sure if the Devs are the ones placing things on the map though


How many NICs do you have on your opnsense machine?



I don’t need research because I’ve been to Tokyo plenty of times and I saw in fact lots of trash in the ground.

And again you’re wrong, trash bins for recycling do exist in Europe because I use them all the time, and I also happen to have visited lots of European countries and I didn’t see that much more trash in the ground than Japan. It’s true for cigar butts (its mind boggling in the Mediterranean countries) , but not trash. You probably had one “bad” experience and are using that evidence anecdotally. You are comparing Japan, a country, to Europe, a continent, it’s not fair


You are lying or not paying attention. Got to Tokyo and you’ll have plenty (as per Japanese standard) of trash in the streets specially near Shinjuku and Shibuya

And yes they mostly take their trash with them as there are no trash bins. But is it a smart design though?


  • You will spend your entire career chasing trends.

Depends on the language, that’s mostly a JavaScript/typescript issue.

  • The market is volatile. People are constantly getting abruptly laid off. SD has never been very stable, so you should plan on getting a new job every few years.

Depends on the country, where I’m from there has been very few layoffs.

  • Software companies are constantly looking for ways to make SD easier. As a result, your value will decrease over time, in preference for bootcampers and 2 year degree graduates.

Not sure what to say, I haven’t felt my value decrease. All I see are bubbles saying they will replace me… and then they burst.

Nobody listens to developers. Your manager’s beliefs about SD come entirely from consultants, magazines, and Elon Musk tweets.

Agree but that’s more of an engineering wide problem, specially when you get managers with very few engineering experience. Take the Apollo landings as an opposite example: great managers that were great engineers.

  • Nobody cares about quality software. If you take the time to make your code efficient and lightweight, all your manager sees is you taking longer to make something than your peers. After all, we can just raise hardware requirements if the software is slow.

This is a bit too generic to argue against. You can get that in electrical engineering no? If you take more time designing that PCB because you want to better place the components to improve heat dissipation, will your manager care in the end?


Caddy and forgejo
Hi, how do you run forgejo under a reverse proxy while using an ssh channel to pull/push commits? From what I understand caddy is only able to proxy http traffic.

Sorry I’m not very eloquent and failed to explain myself:

What I see is that the requested “versions” don’t match when the request is made through jellyseer vs when made directly from one of the Arr.

I first noticed this when requesting through jellyseer and I’d see a file with very few peers. Then I’d do an interactive search in the respective Arr (by hand) and there were much better candidates

I’ll recheck but I think I have updated profiles


I’ll use this topic to ask a question about jellyseer if you don’t mind.

I have jellyfin, jellyseer and arr stack for my Linux ISOs. The issue is when one someone requests an ISO from jellyseer it never is the best choice in terms of peers. I can check this by doing interactive search on one of arr and seeing there was a better choice for the quality I setup. Perhaps I have some misconfiguration?


I don’t know enough about them but how much vendor lock-in is there usually? Could I use a distribution of my choosing, or even add an extra NIC?


That’s the info I’m looking for. I wasn’t considering I would need 2.5’’ instead of 3’', besides glueing is not great That idle power is awesome though and why I was looking into SFF


I don’t need much redundancy, as I have off-site backups and in case something goes wrong I don’t need to restore the files quickly


I mean I could go the DIY route but I’m guessing it’s going to be more expensive?


SFF machines for simple server
Hi there, What SFF machines do you recommend for a server to basically run opnsense (with a 4 port expansion NIC) and a bunch of extra disks to serve as a NAS? I was looking through Thinkcentre m720, m800 et al. I believe these allow for up to 3 disks I know usually you'd run opnsense on a dedicated machine, but I'm a bit constrained on space so am trying to fit all in one. I don't want to stream Linux ISOs on this NAS just to store my own files.

How do you implement that? How is it feasible that Microsoft tests all the third party drivers?

Don’t get me wrong I believe Microsoft is partly to blame for this problem as well but for making it so hard for system admins to go around the system and solve things (as compared to Linux where you can do anything). I think sys admins would have solved this much faster if they were using Linux systems

I was just probing your argument because I guessed it was the typical nonsense of Microsoft bad, Linux good, without a good explanation


Can you explain why you think this is a Microsoft issue?


Yes. I’m no security expert, but ebpf always seemed a bit weird to me. But in the end how much different is it from kernel drivers?


Thanks for your answers. I wasn’t able to get what I wanted to work but that’s because the device used broadcast for discoverability which doesn’t work through subnets. I pivoted to something else


Tailscale and two NICs
Hi all, Anyone with a similar setup to this: I have a machine with 2 NICs one for default gateway and other a "private" subnet with a service I need to access remotely for a few days (basically its a wifi router where a wifi-only device connects). Will tailscale work for this case plug'n'play or will I need setup any routing?

It depends on your needs. I have minis that cost <100$ and have others that cost 500$. My cheapest mini has currently 3TB of backups of my personal things, so it serves my needs very cheaply. I don’t need a GPU so it keeps the costs down.


They are power and space efficient, and usually very quiet. That’s fascinating enough.


It was a bit tongue in cheek I know. I have a very similar setup, but why being judgemental with such a simple thing? It seems like a waste of time and energy. You need those to tweak the setup instead.



Gotta love user reported bugs. I had one that reported a product of ours crashed only on Mondays. We spent a total of 5 minutes thinking of a cause and appointed customer support for a Friday morning. Lo and behold the app still crashed.

In this case the app only crashed on Mondays… because that’s when this user actually used the application



Opnsense and one ethernet port
Hi, I believe with just one port for opnsense (on a min-pc) we can still do vlans (with tagging I believe?) but how effective is that for segregating and isolating proxmox machines? Say I want to keep a VPN machine isolated, from other virtual machines? How would you do that? Do you have any tips for running such a system?

Hey man why the rudeness? We’re just trying to have a conversation …


You’re the one who mentioned 2013. My point in the original comment was about now. It wasn’t mentioned explicitly but I meant it


Yes really. You know how much I paid, initially, for Jellyfin, et al, and had them working in an afternoon?


Exactly, open source is always worth the extra effort, if any, to get things working. Contribute!


And its because it was made by devs for devs. Not corporate ghouls that just want to squeeze another penny or data from you.


But unfortunately its very common for people to change phones often


I mean, it’s still a very nice language. I can see someone, marveled by that, would endeavor to make bigger things with it. I just don’t feel it scales that well.


That’s actually a good idea, enforcing it. Still, do these linters protect against misuse? E.g I have an int but place a string on it somewhere?


I’ve noticed that the larger the code review, the faster it needs to get done in order to avoid merge conflicts, which means large code reviews are much less effective in proportion to the size.

Exactly. And in larger corporations where you have many people contributing and the code is moving fast, having people nitpick your PRs just for show is crap because it delays everything sometimes by days. I had to say no very clearly to some people on code reviews because they were demanding me to place variables in alphabetical order on hard PRs that took quite sometime to get working and were very prone to code conflicts.


I don’t mean it doesn’t work for larger projects. Just that it’s a pain to understand other’s code when you have almost no type information, making it, to me, a no go for that


Here’s another: most code reviews on larger companies are BS, just for show and nitpicking.



I agree with C and Make, not with vim/neovim though


That’s great to hear thank you! I think I’m going for this machine.


With that I agree, it should be a option to buy one.


That’s good advice thank you!


opnsense: Lenovo thinkcentre M600
Hi all, anyone has any experience with this machine for running opnsense? I'm expecting to do mostly vlan, vpn, ad blocking, and general experimentation with opnsense. Do you advise other machines of the same or other brands? I don't expect to spend much money for now as this is mostly to get my feet wet with custom routers I've been looking into the Futro S920 and even though it seems a great fit, it's a bit too big. I was looking something of a smaller form factor.
