Yeah, our entire IT org has a vendetta against IBM. We were just looking to start implementing Terraform too…

How are you making services remotely accessible? by WASTECH in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I’ve been using Tailscale for about 2 months now. It has a VPN-on-demand setting that I keep enabled. That way, anytime I am not on my local WiFi, it automatically connects the VPN. According to my battery health settings, Tailscale has used 5% of my battery in the last 10 days. And I am even using a Mullvad exit node, which would use even more battery.

Verifying -arr Downloads? by WASTECH in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I would really recommend looking into Usenet. I was in your position a few months ago (starting to look for private trackers), but ended up hearing about Usenet and going that route instead. It has been amazing so far. It has everything I am looking for, I don’t need to worry about a VPN, and I can download as fast as my ISP can go, so I get my content in minutes instead of hours. I also don’t have to worry about my VPN disconnecting for some reason and my ISP sending me a nasty letter. The only downside is, if you want the best, you’ll have to pay for an indexer and a downloader, but it’s not that expensive and is certainly worth it for the benefits over torrents.

Wasn’t classic Teams already a web app?

Help with espresso flow (lemmy.world)

submitted 8 months ago by WASTECH@lemmy.world to c/coffee@lemmy.world

9 comments fedilink

Please help! I have all the fancy espresso tools and a nice grinder, but I have no idea why I don’t get an even flow out of my machine. I have a Niche grinder, I use a WDT tool to distribute the grounds, I use the Normcore distributor, and a normal dose tamper. I replaced the shower screen on my espresso machine with the VST screen and I’m using a VST 18g basket with a puck screen. I am pulling 40g shots in about 28 seconds, so I believe my flow rate is right, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

Starfield will get official FSR 3 support in a Steam beta update coming next week by WASTECH in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Wonder if this will make it playable on Steam Deck. I would love to play this on my Deck, but performance is so bad.

Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole (lemmy.world)

submitted 9 months ago by WASTECH@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

6 comments fedilink

I set up SSL certificates for my internal services behind Traefik, but I was having some issues obtaining the certificates. I ended up having to add this line in my Docker compose file to bypass PiHole which is controlling the internal hostnames for my domain:

- --certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.dnschallenge.resolvers=1.1.1.1:53,1.0.0.1:53

After adding that, I was able to successfully pull a cert. The issue is, I have a firewall set up that blocks DNS requests from everywhere except my DNS servers (PiHole), so I had to pause that rule temporarily to get the request to go through.

Wondering what I can do here (if anything) to resolve this without having to disable my firewall rules regularly.

How to access traefik hostnames from tailscale clients (lemmy.world)

submitted 9 months ago by WASTECH@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

3 comments fedilink

I finally decided that I wanted to be able to externally access some of my Docker containers from outside of my local network. I don’t want to deal with the security hassle of exposing ports on my router, so I decided to go with Tailscale.

All of my container web services are run through traefik and are accessed using hostnames I set up on my DNS server. How would I go about accessing the different web services externally since the hostnames don’t resolve?

VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally? by WASTECH in c/sysadmin@lemmy.world

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

We are an enterprise manufacturing company. We have lots of hosts on process networks not connected to the internet. Seems like the subscription license won’t be compatible, so we plan to seriously look at Proxmox for those in the coming years as we replace hosts.

For our datacenter, we decided to move everything to Azure. This decision was in the works before the license change, but the acquisition by Broadcom and their track record certainly played a part in the conversation.

For our site hosts, we are looking into Azure HCI or possibly Hyper-V, especially since these sites don’t have many VM’s and don’t need features offered by VMware.

If you’re an Azure expert and are looking for a new job, send me a message. We’re hiring.

Firmware update bricked dock (lemmy.world)

submitted 11 months ago by WASTECH@lemmy.world to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

13 comments fedilink

Updated my dock to the latest firmware today. It worked fine until I restarted my deck to try and resolve some game streaming issues. After restarting the deck, the dock no longer works. When it is first connected to power, the ethernet lights strobe then go dark. Ethernet isn’t being detected by the deck and neither is the HDMI connection, but it still passes power on to the deck. Anyone else have any issues with this after the latest update?

Any recommendations for a 20TB hard drive? by WASTECH in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Do they not still intermingle their stock? Last I remember, if a 3rd party seller lists a product that Amazon also sells, the stock is all put together in the Amazon warehouse. I’ve gotten counterfeit electronics even when it says “ships and sold by Amazon”. I’ve started buying from B&H.

Lemmy, yesterday I asked for your help in pairing airpods before a 4 hour flight and you saved me! Thank you so much! by WASTECH in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I also had this issue after I finally got my AirPods paired to my steam deck. What fixes it for me is after launching the game, open the Steam menu, go to Settings, and change the output device to the built in speakers, then back to the AirPods.

Help Lemmy, Air Pods Pro 2 won't connect to my Steam Deck and I'm at an Airport about to hop on a 4 hour flight! by WASTECH in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had the same issue with mine, also in an airport. I ended up renaming them from my iPhone and was then able to pair them.

Edit to add: I thought pairing them from desktop mode may give me better luck, but it actually made things worse for some reason. Even after renaming them, I wasn’t able to pair them in desktop mode. Immediately after switching back to gaming mode, I was able to pair them.

What is you backup tool of choice? by WASTECH in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

+1 for Veeam. I am a backup administrator and this is our tool of choice. I use it for my home machines as well and it works great.

Just remember, you don’t have a backup unless you have tested it.

Cheaper Split Layout by WASTECH in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Hey, we all start somewhere! I ordered mine from keyhive and made the mistake of ordering the DIY version. I usually like to do things myself, but had a hell of a time soldering the SMD diodes on. I would recommend the partially assembled version. Keyhive also lists the other parts you will need. If you order the partially assembled version, you will only need a microcontroller, switches, and caps for a complete keyboard! Keyhive also lists the microcontrollers you can use. Personally, I love the nice!nano. It ads BLE and the battery lasts for quite a while. You will need to solder the microcontroller, but it’s easy to do assuming you have an iron. Let me know if you have more questions!

[-] WASTECH@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The Corne is a very popular split keyboard that is very cheap. It requires some level of DIY, but the main board can be had for $33. It can also be made Bluetooth with the nice!nano. You will still need switches and caps, but depending on what you’re after, those can be cheap as well.
