I’m not aware of a way for it to notify if the internet is down. An expired certificate would not create that failure scenario though.

Also the notification would have gone out well before the certificate expired.

It has a built in alerting mechanism that integrates with demo communication services. Also

Uptime Kuma is integrated Apprise which supports up to 78+ notification services.

uptime-kuma will monitor your https availability and automatically check your cert expiration.

My experience running several ssh servers on uncommon nonstandard ports for over 10 years has been that it has eliminated all ssh brute forcing. I don’t even bother with fail2ban. I probably should though, just in case.

Also, PSA: if you use fail2ban, don’t try tab completing rsync commands without using controlmaster or you will lock yourself out.

Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.

For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

FWIW Bedrock lets you connect to servers online that have free games to play like Bed Wars, Sky Wars, Block Party. I don’t know if Java has that.

My kids and I use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server and I would recommend it.

God I miss living in the west.

God, seriously. Recently I was iterating with copilot for like 15 minutes before I realized that it’s complicated code changes could be reduced to an if statement.

I think they mean pull-through cache. https://shipyard.build/blog/how-to-docker-registry-pull-through-cache/

That person is missing the point that a randomized MAC will often get a different DHCP lease, and the MAC address is used in that, so the IP address will change.

On a trusted Wi-Fi network, disable MAC randomization on your clients, and if possible reserve an IP address for their non-random MAC address. Some devices have deterministic random per WiFi network, which could also work. In iOS this is WiFi network -> private WiFi address “fixed”. “Rotating” would cause your pihole problems.

I’m interviewing people right now and I feel like it’s actually the opposite. I know for a lot of folks this is true, and I’ve been through those interviews, but fuck, I would love if I could find somebody who is just on par with the interview questions and could just answer them all satisfactorily, because that’s what we actually need.

Also the internet belongs on the left.

And really, Linux/macos could be reduced to “Unix” https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Unix_history-simple.svg

Agreed. I use their docker image, and have migrated servers. Other than copying data it only took a few minutes of cli-fu and everything was back up and running.

Tangent to this, “Apprise lets you send notifications to a large number of support notification services.”

As somebody who just watched a team implement MySQL for an app that only supported Postgres, I’d go with Postgres.

I never want to use MySQL again. Postgres or SQLite for relational databases.

Without even realizing that rm -rf works on posix filesystems which are not directly exposed at osi layer 3.

This is the brilliant scientific mind that wants to take humanity to mars. 🙄

As a cloud systems engineer who has experienced data failures in multiple consumer cloud services, I do not trust cloud services as a backup just because they are cloud services.

I was also going to link this. I started using zfs 10-ish years ago and used dedup when it came out, and it was really not worth it except for archiving a bunch of stuff I knew had gigs of duplicate data. Performance was so poor.
