At home, nagios, at work colleagues. (I finally escaped the admin rat race)

I have a Squeezebox Classic, so I started with Logitech Media Server. It’snnow slimserver (open source), so I use that. However, it’s pretty end of live, so I’m lookingbfora replacement as well for my player. (Love the device)

Sorry, totally forgot apparmor. On debian that thing can be nasty, I had to fix those rules as well for bind That was years ago and was added to my Puppet module, so I forgot.

Then those disks should have been wiped at the company before they were allowed to leave the building.

In defence, the power prizing here is a tad different, €0.45/KWh was the prize here. Also, when those disks are given away, they are usually smaller then the current standard and less efficient. On the other hand, those enterprise grade disks generate some heat, saving on the heating bill.

Sell them and buy low budget low power consumption disks that would fit my purpose.

Enterprise-grade usually has enterprise-grade power consumption. From the power saving alone you can buy nice stuff.

Second that. I’m glad RPis are finally supported.

You need to include the files in the zone file. Bind 9.18.18 is a mess with the changed DNSSEC setup, it broke my domains as well. I’t isn the bind documentation, so I have to refer you there. I have no access to my setup now (or my browser history) as I’m not at my computer.

Edit: managed to get in dns.

named.conf.local: zonefile needa to be the .signed file the unsigned zone file must have both keys included, best is via absolute path:

$INCLUDE "/etc/bind/keys/example.com.123456.key"

for both the ZSK and KSK keys. The include is to get the RRSIG entries.

I’ve setup my email via a VPN to my own server.

• DNS, mail, business web, cusromer web on VPSes (2, 1 primary, 1 secondary DNS only)
• Personal email, incoming and outgoing via VPS, personal websites (all static) on local system (RPi 4 8GB)

This gives the advantage that your outgoing email always comes from the VPS ip address (pick a VPS provider that is trusted) and when your line is down, incoming email is cached on your VPS. It’s a tad of double work, but pretty secure. Even connecting to my employer to work from home is not a big issue. (and that connection is limited to it’s own vlan)

Also, with this method, you can route the mail into your network via port 26 when 25 is blocked or even set an outgoing vpn to your VPS and route the email that way. You’ll be provider independent at home. (I even have a private ipv6 /48 via a tunnel broker)

You’ll need to work a lot on your knowledge though, without DNSSEC, SPF, DKIM and DMARC the big 2 (Google and hotmail) will refuse your email.

I’m running domoticz with an rflink interface for my rf433 devices. No clue if they support ESPHome, but you can check. It runs confined to my network.

Custom Street Racing 2. A car hoarding game with some drag racing thrown in. It’s an old serie of games I found in 2016 when looking for a car game with classics (I cound CSR Classics). This version is the combination of CSR and CSR Classics, kinda. (not enough classics for my taste)

I was playing CSR2 (still am) and was searching for some info when I found the CSR2 community there.

Well, technically the America’s are 2 continents, each on their own tectonic plate. (Or I remembered that wrong, school was a while ago ;) )

The only people that refer to America as a country live in the USA and couldn’t locate it on the map when it was centered on it, even when their life would depend on it. Then again, there are loads of Dutch people that think The Netherlands is Holland (2 of the 12 provinces) or that leaving Amsterdam is traveling to another country.

I get the feeling that Idiocracy turns less into a documentary and more into scifi with a positive view of the future.

Now I’m curious how far they’ll get before the poster either:

1. is fed up with posting about posts being removed as they were about posts being removed,…
2. gets banned.

??? Even we in Europe know it’s the p***s of the US. (so no wonder that that state’s government f**k the people over there)

Somehow I’m not surprised with the mess the Trump period brought. (but it was already a mess before that)

As long as there are groups that can get into power and think they know best and forces a lifestyle instead of being liberal and let the people decide by themselves, we’ll keep this mess.

Alas. this is the standard playbook for the whole society at the moment. Just see how fanatic (usual religious) minorities try to take over the countries, Israel, US, Africa, middle east and alas now they’re getting more active in Europe as well with Poland an Hungary as biggest issue at the moment. (no clue how it is in South America)
