Plenty? I have never been to any restaurant that didn’t take cash or credit card, and especially not one that FORCES you to use Whatsapp to get a code so you can pay through their shitty app.

Have YOU been to a restaurant like that in the US? Not saying they can’t exist, but I just imagine it’d be extremely rare.

I just bought from Bandcamp last Friday cause it was a special day where all proceeds go straight to the artist. I made a neat little list of artists I wanted to look for on there, and most were on Bandcamp. Of the ones that weren’t I think it was mostly because they’re Japanese, so there’s probably some other platform that they sell digital albums on rather than Bandcamp (Discogs was one of them).

You can download your music in multiple formats. The only thing that sucks is you have to download each album individually as far as I know. Some artists offer their entire discography in a bundle that’s cheaper than individually buying each album, but do check if some of those songs aren’t available for download anymore.

For me, I care most about having a working product and ethically consuming music as much as I can (afford lol), so the downloads and stuff is just quality of life things for me. I’m happy with my purchases and eagerly planning out a list of my next choices for September’s Bandcamp Friday.

Also you can apparently stream on Bandcamp but i just selfhost a Navidrome and use that.

I’m not too worried about lack of tls/https for my websites rn, I just want to get working concept lol.

But thanks for the caddyfile, although I’m not sure I can use it since OPNsense seems to like to auto generate the config based on the settings in the UI.

I’ve narrowed down my issue a little more with the help of [email protected], and I’ve established that:

Pinging immich.homelab.internal gets a response from the correct IP. When typing http://immich.homelab.internal/ or http://immich.homelab.internal:2283/ in browser I get an ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED page.

If I curl http://immich.homelab.internal/, I get: curl: (7) Failed to connect to immich.homelab.internal port 80 after 6 ms: Could not connect to server

If I curl http://immich.homelab.internal:2283/, I do get the html of the site at least.

Through some digging through other people’s forum posts, I made sure to turn off https redirects (auto_https disable_redirects).

I definitely know that it’s failing because Caddy isn’t redirecting my services from port 80 to their upstream port (2283, 8006, etc.), but I don’t know why it won’t redirect, even when looking at logs…

Sorry, I didn’t specify in my original post but I did plan to use .internal for my domains. And I never planned to open my ports on my firewall either so that’s good to know. But I’m still having issues despite this…

Here’s my Caddyfile:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE -- OPNsense auto-generated file


# caddy_user=root

# Global Options
{
	log {
		output net unixgram//var/run/caddy/log.sock {

		format json {

	}

		protocols h1 h2
	}

	import /usr/local/etc/caddy/caddy.d/*.global
}

# Reverse Proxy Configuration


immich.homelab.internal {
	handle {
		reverse_proxy 192.168.10.247:2283 {
		}
	}
}

import /usr/local/etc/caddy/caddy.d/*.conf

Here’s my firewall config (I allowed any source IP to Destination “This Firewall” & port 443/80 on my LAN/VLANs):

Here’s my Caddy configs:

And I did make a wildcard domain override (*.homelab.internal) in Unbound with this config:

Host = *
Domain = homelab.internal
Type = IPv4
IP = 192.168.10.247

I can ping my server’s IP, nslookup the homelab.internal domain, and ping homelab.internal. So the regular DNS entry is working, I just can’t get my reverse proxy to work…

Huh, just checked settings and I see that you can add SSIDs to a radio. Awesome, thanks!

But I think I have to add, that I use the openwrt machine just as dumb access point behind a opnsense box.

Ooh, can you go more into that? i have Opnsense as my router and this AP is just supposed to act as a WAP. I was struggling to figure out how to have it pull dhcp from the router and not to configure it on the WAP itself. That and DNS too, if the DNS isn’t configured on the interface then I get no internet access.

What hardware do you recommend?

Tbh I just picked something that was in their list of supported hardware that also operated with the Wifi bands I needed and had a good amount of Flash and RAM. Try to take the time to research what wifi drivers suck, such as Broadcomm. Mine is a Qualcomm, I got the Linksys MX5300 Velop Mesh, and now that I got my 3 wifi VLANs set it seems pretty nice. Haven’t gotten to use it much though so we’ll see, but I’m excited.

I do recommend checking how many radios it has because I was maybe considering having my Smart TV on it’s own VLAN but I don’t have enough radios for that. Maybe I’ll put it on the IoT VLAN.

Are there any that are smart enough for a SMB setting where the APs all scan other networks and then talk to each other and set their own channels and power levels to optimize WiFi traffic with minimal channel or power overlap?

Sorry, I don’t know anything about this 😅 You’d have to research this.

Like every trend does on social media, it’s devolved into another consumerist “spend money” issue, but on Tiktok and other places there’s a trend of “going analog” and returning to old tech. Okay not “full analog” as some people were using mp3 players and 3DS as a way of returning to tech that doesn’t talk you, and those are obv digital and not analog, but that’s the overall spirit of the trend.

The issue is people are going out and buying shit instead of finding what they already have and repurposing it. Use an old phone without a sim card as an mp3 player, or get one used from a friend or a slightly more ethical marketplace rather than a brand new thing you might not use.

Misskey/Sharkey being similar to Pinterest??? Has Pinterest changed that much in about 4 years, cause that’s when I last used it (ads ad AI art chased me off)

Miss/Sharkey is more like Twitter but if it was pretty/customizable and with a pinch of overstimulation imo. The JP origins is what gives it the overstimulation (the reaction emotes, oh my god…)

I don’t really think any popular Fedi platform is similar to Pinterest tbh.

Cool. Did anything change with our healthcare?

I’m not shedding any tears over that shitty CEO getting killed but people act like everything magically got better because a CEO died.

Legislation is the only thing that can actually stop the next hydra head from popping up. People with wealth and power will easily outpower peasants. How many rebellions ended with another tyrant in place?

Felt this 😭😭😭

I bought 4 1TB drives way back around like 2020-2021 I think, and it was a little under $100, which I covered with an amazon giftcard. It’s been running lovely in my mirror zfs raid for about half a year now. Okay well the shitty Orico drive bay has caused some overheating but otherwise the drives themselves are fine.

Now, like 1 of those drives would be about $70-80+ at cheapest…

It really bothers me that this shit is never mentioned or gets drowned out whenever people talk about Framework laptops. We should absolutely name and shame anyone who donates to alt-right nutheads that sincerely believe in “White replacement” bs.

I think people should have to lurk and contribute a little before just advertising.

I don’t think we should promote closed-source apps on here at all, at least not in it’s own post. For exampke, many people here talk about Symfonium when mentioning their music client that they use to listen to their selfhosted music, and that app is not FOSS at all.

If an app is mostly open with some proprietary bits, then we can discuss. I’m perfectly fine with fully OSS apps that aren’t free, as the devs do deserve to be paid. As gnu.org states, Free means “Freedom” not “Free beer.” While I typically only use “free beer” type FOSS apps, I do occasionally donate to ones I love/use often, but we know that devs struggle to keep their projects afloat.

Holy shit I almost thought I posted a comment and then somehow forgot about it. Are you me?

Ok well, I don’t really listen on TV nor do I have a music assistant, but I do have Jelly on my TV for my family.

But I LOVE Feishin so much, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Ente and Immich are great for photos, although Immich is meant to be self-hosted (not sure about Ente). I use mailbox.org + Thunderbird email client and both support pgp encryption for emails, it’s awesome and only cost 12€ a year for the light plan (2G). People like Tuta but it doesn’t support 3rd party mail clients like Thunderbird. Maybe Proton mail.

I have a drive bay attached to my network that I’ve been using as my “GDrive” but I need to do an actual off-site backup location… You can self host Nextcloud for storage. I think I’ll use backblaze as a backup for my immich photos, all the other shit means nothing to me if it blows up cause I’ll just redownload it. You could also just encrypt your files with Cryptomator and then upload the encrypted files to Gdrive.

Yeah, I honestly think that initial “Hey, don’t do this” talk is better in advance. I remember getting my ass whooped for saying “Fuck” as a kid when I literally didn’t know what the word meant and my parent put the video on in the first place.

Educate your kids on what isn’t allowed in the first place. If they do something bad that you didn’t tell them in advance, then explain why the action is bad, not to do it again, and that you will be checking/monitoring for that behavior. Then you can at least be fully justified in any future punishments because you gave a warning.

Punishments for initial mistakes and unknown wrongs just suck, and they kinda stick with you 🫤

I did do a scrub in the past when I had an issue with accidentally pulling the bay power cord a few months ago, but I genuinely forgot to run these weekly. I have no idea what trimming is…

I just went to ebay and goodwill for my tech stuff. Goodwill is a tad annoying though cause their online shop is literally only bids, so have fun watching the price shot up in the last few days.

Or set up a listenbrainz.org account to get weekly recommendation playlist, check the accounts of people who listen to similar artists, and click through those addictive spider web charts that show you a bunch of artists who are similar to the one you’re listening to.

There’s also Rate Your Music, which I don’t have an account at but it still seems pretty good.

Yeah, I got 4 used 2TB hard drives on Amazon back in early 2024 with a $100 gift card and still had a few bucks left over, and now I see that you basically can’t find a single 2TB drive lower than $70…

I wish I started my homelab sooner…
