Ugh, I know that too. I almost even said after Carter put them up. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Like Nixon did with the solar panels.

I got mine recently in a dxent aized city and while there are plenty of nodes popping up on the map, the local channel is pretty quiet. Is that normal?

It's in a very red area. They probably didn't believe it was real, while simultaneously injecting bleach and horse dewormer to cure themselves.

He's mine! I saw him talk when he came to our community center. It was refreshing having a politician who seemed ready to actually make positive change. Because after our last system of government, we definitely need it.

You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of "service"? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?

Oh 100%. It was so easy to type and/or Swype back then. I remember complaining in the late teens how it had gotten much worse.

I mostly use it to keep track of what I read as opposed to a social media platform. I do follow some people that are on the same instance but mostly on the off chance anything looks interesting.

No! We should court the center vote! It worked in the 90s and it'll work again any day now!

I'm more or less happy with weather here in the PNW. Not that cold and wet in winter, not that hot and dry in summer. Of course with climate change, ACs are now needed and it actually snows in winter, but traditional weather patterns agreed with me.

 

I currently have a Synology 220+ and a couple of VPS's, and I'm looking to consolidate, while getting out of Synology's walled garden. I've already got a couple of 3.5's in the Synology, and 4 2.5's lying around and I'm planning on running a number of docker containers and a couple of vms.

That said, I've never built anything before, and basically just went to PCPartPicker, started with the case, and checked 5-stars on each component and went from there. So... how absurd is my build?

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 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Where do I start?
