So, excited! Finally got FTTH installed. Now we've got proper symmetric (almost) gig connectivity and no bandwidth caps.

well, i started updating a #synology #NAS and my write cache SSD appears to have exceeded 103% capacity (i thought i under-provisioned that???)

not a great time to have that happen as i replace four 8TB disks with four 16TB disks 😬 really wish synology would have used #zfs instead of #btrfs, i don't understand btrfs nearly as well and synology doesn't expose many advanced features of btrfs in their UI for the appliance's management portal.

wish me luck

#TIL about the special-use .home.arpa tld. It's reserved for "non-unique use in residential home networks" and free to use. I just remapped all my local self-hosted services to *.home.arpa domains. So much better than using 192.168.0.*:PORT #selfhosted #selfhosting #homenet

Gibt es eine Software welche mir im Heimnetzwerk eine Art Radio Stream meiner Musiksammlung zur Verfügung stellt. Dieser Stream sollten dann von Internet fähigen Radios aus dem internen Netzwerk abgegriffen und abgespielt werden können.

Diese Lösung am besten als Server Variante oder Oberfläche oder ggf. noch Weboberfläche.

Looking at starting up my own #HomeNet / #HomeLab more seriously, does anyone have any tips for securing the network if I wanted to, for example, set up a VPN back into the home net?

I know that I'd need to set up a separate Internet facing subnet/DMZ and would almost certainly need a dynamic DNS service, but I don't know quite enough of the lingo to separate the chaff from the grain while searching.

Yay, #Internet at home is completely gone now, likely because of power disruption in the #electricity net in #Bodø...
Already seen the lights flicker three times, so I guess it's not #HomeNet's fault this time...

So, I was going to call #homenet to complain about my shitty connexion ever since their maintenance a couple of days ago.
Checking speedtest on my wife's PC though, showed she was getting proper speeds...
Then I noticed an orange blinking light on the router's LAN port my laptop is using... Unplugged it and plugged it back in, and yes, speeds are back to normal... I guess the cable might've been pulled out slightly (I ought to crimp a new plug on one of these days...), and been working on half-duplex mode instead?

Wish I'd checked that sooner... at least I hadn't called them yet....

This is far better than the 40Mbps I was getting before...

Appliances that don't have a power switch, and instead require you to unplug the adapter from the outlet, or the power plug from the device itself...

*Glares at his #Homenet modem router which needs a power-cycle every now and then to counter dropped network speeds.

Ugh, home internet still is down... :(

Now Jen Linkova on PA multi-homing with IPv6!

The idea is for small business users to have two uplinks, but without having a PI prefix and announcing it with BGP to the global routing table
