I recently setup SearXNG to take the place of Whoogle (since Google broke it by disabling JS free query results). I am following the same steps I've always done in adding a new default search engine.

Navigate to the address bar, right click "Add SearXNG" then go into settings and make it my default. After doing this, rather than using the local IP the instance is running at, Firefox uses https://localhost/search for some reason. I don't see a way to edit this in the settings section of Firefox. Anyone else experienced this?

Update: After updating the .env file with my IP address and bring docker down/ up, all is working as expected (able to use SearXNG via Caddy using the https:// address)

Let me start by saying that I am not a runner. I hope to be one day, but for now I’m just running < 1 mile after work.

After a few days of this, my knees (the tendon thing that goes down from the knee to the shin) are pretty sore. I’m wondering if I should power through this or do something differently?

A friend suggested these as he’s had good luck with them, but I’m not sure if this is something the community condones or endorses.

Update: Thank you all for the suggestions! The consensus seems to be to take it easy as I begin, and run every other day (and continue to walk every day).

For years, I have been using Whoogle for my self-hosted searches. It's been great, but recently there were some upstream changes that seem to have broken it.

I'm guessing that SearXng will soon follow (based on the assumption that they too are using the JS free results Google used to provide).

Does anyone have any self-hosted search options that still work? I hear Kagi is good for paid/ non-self hosted options, but just curious what you all are using.

My Jellyfin VM has been failing its nightly backups for some time now (maybe a week or so).

I'm currently backing up to a NAS that has plenty of available space and my other 10 VMs are backing up without issues (though they are a bit smaller than this one).

I am backing up with the ZSTD compression option and the Snapshot mode.

The error is as follows:

Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions as to resolving it?

Update: After rebooting the Proxmox node (not just the VM) my backups are now working again. Thanks all for the input!

I recently got into Ubiquiti, and am trying to limit intra-vlan communications.

I have a Proxmox server hosting a couple VMs that are on the same VLAN (192.168.8.0/24).

These two devices can ping each other, even after I follow the guide here. I've tried just adding that VLAN to the Device Isolation (ACL) section in Settings > Network as I believe this should just block everything within that VLAN, as well as trying to add explicit rules in the ACL to block client A -> B and B -> A with no luck.

I feel like I must be missing something simple. Has anyone done this successfully?

There's a pretty popular savings chart in the personal finance community, and I just noticed it seems to be missing the option for when your employer offers an ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan) unless I'm completely missing it.

Where would you guys put it if you could add it to this chart?

I recently swapped out my old TP-Link switch for a Unifi switch. I'm setting up the VLAN configs as I had it on my previous switch, but wanted to be sure I am understanding this correctly.

For some devices such as my APs, I am trunking the ports they connect to, tagging the VLANs that will need to be present for the corresponding WiFi networks these APs provide.

For other devices that are plugged directly into the switch and which should only have access to a single VLAN, I am setting that VLAN as the default network, and blocking all other VLANs.

Is this the correct approach?

I just got an Apple watch S10. Before this I was using a Garmin with the Apple health app to get some insights into sleep, calories burned per day (the outer ring) etc.

Compared to the Garmin, my Apple Watch is showing a lot of awake events, even though me and my SO don't notice me waking up. Is the Apple Watch just way more sensitive? Is it catching every movement in the night and thinking that is me being awake?

I have a couple rules in place to allow traffic in from specific IPs. Right after these rules I have rules to block everything else, as this firewall is an "allow by default" type.

The problem I'm facing is that when I replace these two ports to match "Any" instead, those machines (matrix server and game server) are unable to perform apt-gets.

I had thought that this should still be allowed, because the egress rules for those two permit outbound traffic to http/s and once that's established it's a "stateful" connection which should allow the traffic to flow back the other way.

What am I doing wrong here, and what is the best way to ensure that traffic only hits these servers from the minimal number of ports.

For the last decade or so, my SO and I have been more or less dividing our expenses, and Venmo/ PayPal-ing the other as needed (rent, etc).

I know a lot of couples use a shared account that they both contribute to via direct deposit. How many of you do this? Any drawbacks or other options I haven’t mentioned?
