I update my packages every day on debian. I have yet to have something break. The only issue I ever had was steam got uninstalled when dist-upgrading from debian 11 to 12. Promptly reinstalled, of course all my games were still on disk.
Why is Simba pogging
Neither is op. This meme is old enough to vote.
Fun fact! It gets reported to /var/spool/mail/root ! If your mail spooler is properly configured (and your SMTP relay is also configured to send mail addressed to root to an actual user account) then you will get these alerts by email.
It requires an LTE capable gateway and a data plan. As for the rest you can simply write your routing tables so that if the main gateway doesn’t work, use the secondary gateway with lower prio.
Tesla os is just a Linux distro based on arch I think?
I hate on Linus not because he doesn’t like linux, but because he is a bad boss who overworks his employees and has allegations against him.
Indeed, but in that case an off-the-shelf SMTP relay works fine.
So to be clear, you want traffic coming out of your VPS to have a source address that is your home IP?
let’s go back to fundamentals and assume for a second that your VPS provider allows these packets out and your VPS initiates a TCP connection like that. It sends a TCP SYN with source: home address and dest: remote.
The packet gets routed to the remote. The remote accepts and responds SYN/ACK with source: remote and dest: home address.
Where do you think this packet will get routed? When it gets there, do you think the receiving server (and NAT gateways in between) will accept this random SYN/ACK that doesn’t appear to have a corresponding outgoing packets sent first? If so, how?
You need a proxy for outgoing to avoid your source server being on a residential adress, which all but guarantees all mailservers using spamhaus etc will block you by default. DKIM and DMARC are needed in their own right but an SPF fail will already make your mail fall into spam.
Not really. Your VPS’s public IP is not yours to change, for obvious reasons, and it’s unlikely that your hosting provider will let you send packets from your VPS using a source address that is incorrect. if they let you, then any replies to those packets will evidently get routed to the actual IP, ie your home IP. If you really want to forward SMTP to your VPS (which has less chance of being on a Blocklist by virtue of not being a residential IP), I suggest declaring your VPS as your SMTP sender in SPF, instead of declaring your home IP and trying to make that work with the VPS IP. The VPS can then be configured as an SMTP relay (this is a key feature of SMTP) to your home instance, or you could forward all traffic on the appropriate ports at the TCP level, but I don’t advise doing this.
I hope you understand that if what you’re asking was possible, I could rent a VPS, spoof your IP and receive traffic meant for your IP without any issues. For the same reasons, I think the other commenter mentioning x-forwarded-for headers is wrong if you’re not using DKIM (and even then it’s iffy). Otherwise I could just write a payload with mailto: whatever, from:you@yourdomain and x-forwarded-for: your home IP and pass SPF checks without having control over your IP.
if you’re still confused about SMTP feel free to ask more questions
It exists, but it’s generally really small shops that I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending.
The bigger hosting providers are fine with the status quo, because it means their support tickets are from people who at least know something about anything rather than complete noobies who need help resetting their password (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just higher volume and not what hetzner staff is trained on)
There are several remotely controlled torrent clients, transmission comes to mind. It has web interface and state of the art is that the webpage registers itself as a magnet: link handler so clocking one adds it to the remote server (disclaimer: I don’t actually know that that is a feature of transmission. I use a client that is integrated with my router and it has this despite the router not being particularly nice)
The saying “the most stable ABI on Linux is win32” says that’s also true for Linux software unfortunately
I’ve literally never need to do that.
Nice idea if you actually have the rest of the redundant network, uplink and all that jazz (otherwise you’re wasting time and money).
the reason this won’t ever be a product is because if you’re serious about your redundancy you’re installing extra NICs inside the servers, which are ideally not second-hand. the only people who would be the target market of such a product is just you.
also: do these servers not have pcie slots inside? is there truly no way of adding nics inside?
I use magnetico and have no need for the bells and whistles, but that seems really interesting!
It should work just fine. the proxmox just sets up a bridge to the virtual interface when you install it and after that, VMs you deploy will appear in to everything else on the network as if connected through a switch.
However, watch out about it your routing tables. If the pihole isn’t on the same network (regardless of if it is virtualized or not), you have to tell other computers on the network how to reach that other network, by making changes to their routing table, or the one in your router (that is literally its job, after all).
Right? Surely you could translate it to run on a $1 esp32?
