I've had AdGuard Home running in various places, but always struggled with getting it to show which device was making the call while also being protected while away from my local network. Just keeping the house secure wasn't a problem, but routing my traffic while out always seemed to cause problems. Moreso on the synology.

What's your use case look like?

Hey! My turn for the long delay. Are you still interested in the Dell r720? Turns out the idrac is bricked, which means a new motherboard according to Dell. I am still interested in the optiplex if you're looking to part with it.

We're still your allies and friends! We're devastated that it's come to this. You guys are the best!

Yes, please! I would gladly join, and a lot of us are down with that idea already.

I hate that we're literally funding them to drag us all back to the dark ages since the blue states receive less than they pay in taxes and vice versa with the red.

I've got the external IP addresses down pat. I'm with you in that I've never quite figured out how to do the same with local IP addresses.

It's probably too basic, but Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke have always been my favorites, the latter of which was where I started.

I love the enthusiasm of newbies! Welcome to the journey!

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 2 points 6 days ago

I love this. Thank you for the recommendation!

I've been wanting a Linux-based degoogled phone for a while now, and though it sorta exists if you happen to have the right phone model, it definitely isn't ready for the everyday consumer. But if it's something you really want to do, there are a few options out there. I've done the best I can from not using the google ecosystem at all beyond android, which is my last big hurtle.

Ugh, so what's the alternative?

 

I'm not tech illiterate, but it's also not my job or anything. That said I managed to figure out how to get a synology up and running and it hosts my Jellyfin and *arrs. Nothing too exciting. I also have a couple of vps's that I use for nextcloud, a recipe server, all in docker containers. Not nothing but also, not the hardest thing to accomplish.

Well, my manager gifted me an old Dell PowerEdge R720 and 4 hard drives. Yeah, this is way more than I know what to do with, or even where to start. Do I need to plug both power cables in? I still need to figure out how to get a monitor hooked up to it with what looks to be a VGA cable. And even then this thing is a behemoth and what do I even do with it?? My manager was so excited to talk to me about it and I'm all 😵‍💫

Where do I start?
