Why I Lost Faith in Kagi
  • Also as a Mac user who went from Safari, ended up using Orion up til recent Kagi drama, and found LibreWolf. It works well and I’ve found it to have better compatibility versus Orion. I’ve used that with Searxng for more private searches.

  • X’s Premium users can no longer hide their blue checks
  • People (rightfully) shitting on Elon were forcefully given blue checkmarks and now they can’t hide that mark so that it looks hypocritical.

  • Who are you talking to?
  • If you don’t want to trim, then don’t.

    I feel more attractive and confident in my body when my body hair is well groomed. Doesn’t need to be clear cut but also I don’t want whoever’s going down on me to deal with a jungle.

  • France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans
  • Stainless Steel Debian is good enough for me.

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • I mean, compared to what it should be, it is. Especially when I paid for 2.5gb infrastructure.

    And it also affects how fast I can pull files from my server. Trying to get some shows downloaded to my laptop before a business trip, guess better prepare for an hour or two copy over LAN. Pulling a backup OS image for my devices? Going to wait for a while.

  • Advice regarding poor download speeds within LAN
  • Used iperf3 and it showed the full bandwidth; however another commenter mentioned that my server's NVMe (that came prebundled) isn't guaranteed to be fast. After looking into it, it seems to be the bottleneck.

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • I think you might be right, couldn't find an identifiable label on the drive and the model reported in Debian shows up in searches as having only 2465MB/s read speeds. After real-world losses and also handling running an OS + multiple services I imagine that could me the source of my problems. Thanks!

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • Just an N100 based (quad core 3.4ghz) mini pc with 8gb of RAM and 2.5gb ethernet.

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • I'll check my server's CPU usage while transferring. I only used SCP for testing yesterday because the Samba share stopped working.

  • Advice regarding poor download speeds within LAN
  • No, it's bare metal on a dedicated firewall.

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • Using iperf3 results in 2.5gb of bandwidth. SSD should not be a bottleneck, the server only has NVME storage and the laptop SSD is located in the SoC. Both far exceeding the network speeds. Traceroute indicated just a single hop to the server.

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • Just attempted that, odd thing happened was that both evened out on the reverse test at ~800Mbp/s. So higher than the download test before and lower on the upload. Conducted iperf3 tests and that shows the 2.5gb bandwidth so I retried file sharing. Samba refused to work for whatever reason on Debian so I conducted a SCP transfer and after a few tests of a 6.3GB video file, I averaged around 500mbps (highs of around 800mbp/s and lows of around 270mbp/s).

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • ISP wouldn't matter regarding handling of LAN only traffic right?

  • Poor speeds from my home server
  • I've done pings without any drops. ISP doesn't come into effect as this is only LAN traffic, laptop and server are on the same switch.

  • Poor speeds from my home server

    So I am trying to track down what is possibly slowing down my download connection from my Debian server to my devices (streaming box, laptop, other servers, etc).

    First let me go over my network infrastructure: OPNsense Firewall (Intel C3558R) <-10gb SFP+ DAC-> Managed Switch <-2.5gb RJ45-> Clients, 2.5gb AX Access Point, and Debian Server (Intel N100).

    Under a 5 minute stress test between my laptop (2.5gb adapter plugged into switch) and the Debian Server (2.5gb Intel I226-V NIC), I get the full bandwidth when uploading however when downloading it tops out around 300-400mbps. The download speed does not fair any better when connecting to the AX access point, with upload dropping to around 500mbps. File transfers between the server and my laptop are also approximately 300mbps. And yes, I manually disabled the wifi card when testing over ethernet. Speed tests to the outside servers reflect approximately 800/20mbps (on an 800mbps plan).

    Fearing that the traffic may be running through OPNsense and that my firewall was struggling to handle the traffic, I disconnected the DAC cable and reran the test just through the switch. No change in results.

    Identified speeds per device:

    Server: 2500 Mb/s Laptop: 2500Base-T Switch: 2,500Mbps Firewall: 10Gbase-Twinax

    Operating Systems per device:

    Server: Debian Bookworm Laptop: macOS Sonoma (works well for my use case) Switch: some sort of embedded software Firewall: OPNsense 24.1.4-amd64

    Network Interface per device:

    Server: Intel I226-V Laptop: UGreen Type C to 2.5gb Adapter Switch: RTL8224-CG Firewall: Intel X553

    The speed test is hosted through Docker on my server.

    Is there a term for a gathering of trees in an open field?
  • Thanks! I think thats the closest term to what I was thinking of.

  • What phone brand do you like the best?
  • So I’ve gone back and forth between Apple and Android for the past decade and a half: I currently daily an iPhone 12 mini because I like the UI, size, ease of use, and the fact that I don’t use my phone as a multimedia device. If I could do akin to GrapheneOS or CalyxOS on iPhone I’d stick to it.

    In the future once my iPhone breaks or finally becomes obsolete, I intend to go to either a used Pixel or a Fairphone. Both are supported by secure OSs but I also dislike how big both of them are.

    TLDR: love iPhones, appreciate Fairphones.

  • Which Macbook and mini as home media server/backup target
  • For some games yes. It works alright for some older video games but wouldn't recommend for something modern. Use Crossover for that. However Parallels works well IMO for windows exclusive software outside of gaming.

  • Which Macbook and mini as home media server/backup target
  • It 100% is possible. You can’t bootcamp on Apple Silicon but Parallels is virtualized. It’s my goto for if Crossover isn’t playing nice with certain software.

  • Configuring Porkbun DNS for internal IPs

    Hey everyone, asking here since I've been trying (and failing) at the numerous guides online. The end goal is so that I can have proper Let's Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use.

    So I am trying to setup my Porkbun domain with my Opnsense nginx plugin in order to resolve the address (such as navidrome.example.com to my local server's navidrome instance @ 192.168.1.99:4533). I attempted this guide here as well as trying to configure a separate nginx on the server itself. I haven't had much luck with these guides either.

    Any address outside of router.example.com results in a connection failure. Including when I tried to route everything like navi.router.example.com. This is with and without wildcards in the A Record entries on Porkbun's DNS control panel. I've tried *.example.com, *.router.example.com, navidrome.example.com, navidrome.router.example.com.

    Sorry if this seems like a simple problem or if I am missing a massive step, I am complete newbie at self-hosting/networking.

    edit: Finally got it working with the simple urls resolving to the proper self-hosted services and with proper CA certs. Thank y'all for the help and advice!!

    Left Handed Mode

    Hey, been using Memmy since the app store release and I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit.

    I was wondering though: is a left-handed mode planned?

    I know I can swipe to vote but there are times that I’d like to use the buttons but they’re across the screen. Same with the next comment button.
