Is the TS10 still the go-to for a small and bright EDC? in c/flashlight

[–] tgrowl 2 points 1 year ago

I’m still TS10 EDC all the way. Interested to see what recommendations you get here as I may look to change soon as well.

So I think I'm running into this problem a bit now. The reverse proxy and everything TCP and HTTPS works. The mail server I'm still trying to figure out. I'm using Wireguard to tunnel, do you know how to "bridge" that up to the VPS so that ports I need open to listen for incoming SMTP are also being listened on on the VPS?

This is the solution I went with. Had to tinker a bit with the KeepAlive settings, but otherwise smooth sailing now! Thanks!

Hi All,

Xpost from c/[email protected]

So since Reddit is out for me, I’m turning here to see if anyone has some insight or can comment on this. Anything you’ve got would be great!

Long and short, I made a quick decision and am now living in a “Spectrum Community” - whereby tenants are charged a fixed rate for Internet and TV and connect to a “mesh” network via captive portal where MAC addresses must be registered to the tennants. Everyone shares the same network, sorta, but it’s got that feature where no one can sniff each other (unless MAC addresses are registered to your name).

There’s some debate on posts regarding this, whether connecting your own gateway will cause an issue, but I would like to connect my own gateway / router. Now, I’d also like to port forward, as I run my own mail server, etc… which need this and a public IP address I can register with my domain in order for all the fun stuff to work.

I doubt I can connect the gateway / router and port forward as if the community were offering a “communal modem”, so the question becomes:

Can I defeat this “double NAT” by routing all traffic from MY gateway through a VPS? Then, can I tie my domain / proxy service to the public IP address of this VPS to make all my services work?

Other services I run: PiHole Unbound DNS resolving Emby Wireguard (for mobile access to PiHole) And other web based services

Again, thanks. Hopefully someone reads this and knows what I’m talking about. I believe in Lemmy.

That’s what I thought as well.

The reported issues were with Spectrum detecting the device was a router somehow and then blocking the MAC address. Which of course then I could just spoof another. Not sure how long that game of cat and mouse could last.

Sorry, “communal modem” was more of a theory to suggest the idea I could be getting unrestricted (no firewall, rules etc) internet at the wall. Plug in my router and begin port forwarding from there. Problem is, I’d still need the public IP. Wondering if it’d be worth the risk to ask Spectrum to vLAN me a public IP to the MAC of my router or if that’d tip them off to my intentions. Not a physical device I’d have access to.

Ok this is good to hear! I just haven’t played around with anything like that yet. I guess all I really need are ports 80, 443, 587, 25, and whatever IMAP is. But I’d have to do this ON my router I think, so that all traffic goes through this VPS. Not yet sure how to do that. I’ve got an Edgerouter.

I agree. Whether my stack works fully or not, I plan to use it.

True! I like what they're doing though. I'll admit, the switch to Nemo caught me off guard a bit, but I guess I like it. What I don't really like is the odd dark mode setup... Seems like the Gnome stack (?) doesn't really follow suit from the Budgie Desktop settings. Hope to see a change for this soon.

Otherwise, I love this distro. So much.

This is my indoor hang setup during the winter. Just a small fleece blanket suspended from either end. I use a small tie in the middle to bundle up the ends of the blanket to create an air pocket. One one side i have a bungee cord to pick up slack and stretch out a bit for my feet.
