    local DNS server does not work as expected
  • what does not work:

    • i can not ping server.local (- for testing i have to stop the systemd-resolved.service to run the dnsmasq server, or else there are port collisions, but that should not be the problem i guess. I am happy to hear your solution :))
    • i can also not use ssh to log in to server.local, ip address works

    Have you added "server.local" as a DNS record in your dnsmasq container, pointing to your servers LAN IP? Sounds like dnsmasq isn't resolving that name, which would lead to both of these 'failures'.

    DNS?
  • Oh damn, I hadn't noticed. My setup is still functioning just fine.

    There is an alternative though: Orbital-Sync

    I haven't actually used it, so I can't say much about it; but I'll probably look into replacing gravity-sync with that.

    DNS?
  • https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

    I use this to translate DNS to DoH, and use cloudflare, and quad9 upstream.

    environment:
      - TUNNEL_DNS_UPSTREAM=https://1.1.1.1/dns-query,https://1.0.0.1/dns-query,https://9.9.9.9/dns-query,https://149.112.112.9/dns-query
    

    Haven't really noticed any DNS based lag.

    DNS?
  • Why not both?

    My primary DNS is pihole on a rpi dedicated to the task; but I run a second instance of pihole via my main docker stack for redundancy. Should one or the other be unavailable, there's a second one to pick up the slack.

    I just provide both DNS IPs to LAN clients via DHCP.

    Gravity Sync is a great tool to keep both piholes settings/records/lists in sync.

  • Same, though I'm using acme.sh and DNS-01. (had to go look at the script that triggers it to remember, lol)

    I check the log file my update script writes every few months just to be sure nothings screwy, but I've had 0 issues in 7 years of using LE now.

    A paid cert isn't worth it.

    Malaysia to redirect DNS traffic to ISP DNS servers

    I use pihole+cloudflared to translate all DNS requests on my LAN to DoH requests. Regular DNS isn't permitted to leave my network. (port 53 outbound is blocked)

    Can't redirect/modify/monitor DoH requests like you can plain DNS.

    School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.
  • If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush's computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

    I got into quite a bit of similar mischief as a (pre)teen; but I didn't do any of it on equipment that I knew was monitored (at least, monitored and signed out to me....)

  • And again; I think that's a bit of a separate issue. These devices shouldn't be equipped with cameras, let alone have the camera monitored/accessible.

    The actual activity happening on the device; running applications, what's on screen/in storage, even it's location (with informed notice of said tracking) sure. but there's no need to monitor/access the camera regardless of how or where the device is used.

    A simple piece of tape fixes this problem. (plus education to teach students why, ofc)

  • kids take these computers home

    I feel like that is the bigger problem. These aren't private/personal devices; students shouldn't be treating them as personal devices. Especially knowing it's a monitored device.

    Properly educating students on the use of these devices is the solution. Not telling schools to turn a blind eye to the use of their own equipment.

  • Yeah, when i was in school; there were no devices issued to students. We had 'computer labs'. Ie; a room full of computers for student use. There was always one computer for the teachers to use that had a remote-desktop interface monitoring every screen in the room live. They could always see what you were doing, lockout your keyboard/mouse, blank your display.

    This really doesn't seem any different.

    I could understand outrage if students were require to install this on their own hardware; but school issued devices are under the schools monitoring and control. Always have been.

  • I've been using paperless-ngx to consume mail from outlook/hotmail for a while now, but recently had the mail server refuse connections while mail was being processed. (Not sure why, consuming is working now with no changes and no errors besides 'connection refused', while retrieving that mail. Temporary outage I guess?)

    This left me with a couple pieces of mail not imported. However, now everytime the mail consume task runs, it recognizes that those pieces of mail are there but refuses to process them with the message:

    >Skipping mail '421' '\<email subject>' from '\<sender email>', already processed.

    How can I get it to recognize those mails HAVE NOT been processed?

    I've noticed with the last 2-3 versions of the app (currently 0.0.69, nice); the app crashes 2/3rds of the time when returning to it from being in the background.

    Open the app, switch to another app, switch back a couple min later and it closes then reopens as if you'd just started it for the first time today (losing whatever post you had open).

    Curious if others are experiencing this?

    Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. The only other issue I've ever seen (between revanced and the original vanced app) is the watch history not saving a couple weeks back.

    When a file is manually replaced, for example after converting from an mp4 to an mkv; radarr decides to delete everything in that movies folder: posters, backdrops, subtitles, NFO files, leaving only the new video file; even though none of these were created or managed by Radarr ever.

    This causes Emby to have to rescan/reidentify the item, re-downloading all the extra data, and it's now lost all custom metadata that was stored in the nfo, particularly the original date added to emby and it now has no subtitles.

    How can I prevent this?

    I have what may be a stupid question...

    How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

    (please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

    After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

    > Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

    So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

    Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

    (it's a .pw domain if that matters)

    /edit. I'm a moron.

    I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

    I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Can you recommend a good Docker tutorial?

    I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

    I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

    (note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

    Does boost support 2 factor auth?

    I can't login: If i use the incorrect user+pass I get 'incorrect login' if I use the correct ones I get 'login failed'.

    There is no option to enter my required 2fa code...

    /edit switched apps then switched back and the 2fa field showed up but refused my code. Force stopped the app and got the same 'login failed' message switched apps again and back; now it shows all fields and finally logged me in correctly.

    Seems buggy af.

    I've only ever had my domain registered via Google Domains (~7 years), mostly because it was cheap+convenient, and google already had my billing info. Google has however sold its domain registration services to SquareSpace and will soon be transitioning customers there.

    Not upset to be removing one more bit of google from my life, but I don't know much about SquareSpace and I'm not sure if I should just go with the transition to them or perhaps move to a different registrar... If I was to move, where too?

    Curious what others think about the situation and company.

    Are you a Google domains customer? What's your plan? Why?

    Using Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Samsungs 'Internet' app, and every other browser I've used/tried on Android:

    I'll go to select some text on a page by long-pressing on it and it'll select the word I'm touching as well as expand that selection to a somewhat random amount of additional text (usually not following any structure such as selecting a whole sentence for example).

    I'll then go to adjust that selection by grabbing one of the two tabs on either end of it and the moment I do, the opposite tab jumps to a completely random spot on the page vastly expanding the selection, then the whole page scrolls to an entirely different section; Leaving me holding one end of the selection unable to see what was originally selected. I can't scroll to where I was, and If I let go and just click copy I've now copied 90%of the page to my clipboard.... Attempting to modify the selection any further yields the same lack of control and just makes things worse.

    This doesn't happen everywhere, but I get these results far far more often than a successful copy+paste. Like just now trying to copy an address from a local transit guide.

    I end up having to drop the paste into a notepad app, reselect the bit I actually wanted (if it even made it into the pile of garbage I was forced to grab) then delete the note once I'm done.

    This is fucking stupid and I hate it. Rant over. Thank you for listening.

    /edit: I don't have the power to pin a comment, but d3Xt3r@lemmy.world has a great solution: Use the rectangle select tool in androids 'Edge Panel' (must be enabled in settings), then press the 'T' button to copy text from the area you've selected.

    I'm not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I've sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.

    Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I've had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I've been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still 'loading' a blank white page.

    I just don't understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it's been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.

    P.S. In the time I've taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash... (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)

    /edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.

    Block an entire instance

    How do I block an entire instance?

    I'm getting really really sick of blocking dozens of communities from lemmynsfw every single day. It never ends ffs.

    If I want porn, I'll go looking for porn. It shouldn't be every third post in my feed.

    Honestly, how is anyone supposed to join Lemmy if they all just get flodded with mountains of porn??? I can't imagine anyone that's not already invested in being here wanting to join. (unless their looking for a pornhub alt I guess...)

    Not everything NSFW is porn and I'm not looking to remove non-porn so permanently hiding everything tagged NSFW isn't a solution.

    When viewing individual comment trees, usually by opening a comment from my own history that has replies on it, or just clicking view context: the original comment is the furthest indented, with the replies indented one less, and further replies to those less indented still until the lowest level comment appears as the oc, but at the bottom of the list.

    The entire area of this screenshot except the white text, post time, and space immediately between those two; opens one of the hyperlinks. (ie: all of the empty space to the right of the green links, all the way up to the edge of the screen, as well as the green text itself)

    I wouldn't expect or want empty space to open links, particularly if I'm trying to minimize/collapse a comment with questionable links in it.
