Determine shutdown cause in OPNSense
  • I would ssh into the opnsense box and press 8 to run the shell terminal and then run dmesg and go back to the time the server rebooted, there you can see the events leading up to the shutdown.

    On Call Sleep Question
  • Yeah my manager is sympathetic to it because they also have to do on call on the roster. So they know the pain of getting up at those hours of the morning. I think based on the information in this thread I have a good strategy for this.

  • 1 carpark, carpool with partner at a set starting time or else pay thousands of dollars for parking per year. It's not really worth it end of the day.

  • This is how we do it here as well but I find the lack of sleep even if I went home an hour or two earlier impacts the entirety of the workday.

    On Call Sleep Question
  • Mmm I guess it's a give and take scenario with the lifespan analogy. I think I feel more useless to the business as I sit there feeling ever so much more tired throughout the workday and the struggle to focus increases throughout the day. Thanks for the input!

    On Call Sleep Question
  • This is an interesting way of doing it. The added bonus would be nil traffic on the way into work and an early (but on time) finish. Thanks for this perspective.

  • If you are on call and you receive a call at say 3:45 am and you resolve the issue by 4:30 am. Is it then worth trying to go back to sleep to wake up for work the next day or should you just stay awake and power through it?

    I'm asking because this happened to me and I went back to bed, did not feel tired at all and when I eventually fell asleep I got maybe an hour of extra sleep and I felt like complete garbage when my alarm went off and pretty much like that for the remainder of the day. Whereas I feel like if I just stayed awake for the extra time after 4:30 am I might have not felt as bad?

    What are your opinions on this?

    Edit: I'm appreciating all the responses and taking the information in. Sounds like this is not a clear cut case that is a simple yes do this or no don't do that.

    Fed Up with DigitalOcean
  • If you want privacy try njalla. A bit more expensive but they do try hide as much data as possible and I've never had any downtime with them.

    Cleaning up my digital presence - Meta endboss
  • I think this is a sound way of doing it. Rather than trying to force people to switch and potentially alienating them from using an app like signal and moving away from their usual apps. The people who really want to continue chatting with you will come along for the ride.

    Tv box recommendations?
  • I use a beelink nuc, put on Linux and just connect it via HDMI to my tv, this way I have no real restrictions and I can keep it up to date easily.

    I deleted my google accounts today
  • Yep, after you realize the majority of the stuff you can buy of Amazon is mass produced trash with zero quality. It was easy to remove.

    OpenVPN network interface for qBittorrent
  • If you know how to use docker look up gluetun, it basically allows you to tunnel everything through the VPN and still access everything locally.

    Anyone self-hosting Invidious for personal use and has experienced his IP banned?
  • I do this exact thing and after a year or so of running my invidious instance locally I'm not banned and never had any issues and I use it about 5 hours per day give or take. Hope this helps.
