anyone wanna watch with me bread p0rn
A bit offtopic and "old", but could be an interesting read if someone takes interest in this topic:
https://norfolkinfosec.com/dprk-malware-targeting-security-researchers/
https://blog.google/threat-analysis-group/new-campaign-targeting-security-researchers/
not really
@unborn sluice i think they'd struggle a bit
for reference they had a wireless printer at work for months and none has figured out how to print wirelessly
They should probably use AD for wifi auth
my school does that
the last policy was, 1device/student
So they paid for a feature they didn't use
to be fair, printers are a pain
they couldnt
I don't know much about printer security
but consumer wireless printers should be fine
I dunno about the "enterprise" printers where there's more control about when to print
our old office printer ,I think have AD or something
@peak cloak the printers my school went with is cloud connected and they can print from any room. The only times that it gives us trouble is when everyone goes on vacation. The printer goes on vacation too because it stops collecting print jobs when everyone returns. A reboot fixed the issue in 8 scenarios, with the last printer having DNS issues
Now I love the printers. But the old school way of doing them, no.
cloud connected printer just seems, eh
it works with local ad too. But if staff wants to put print jobs from home to then print, they can
I don't think anyone used the cloud feature of it yet
It uses Id cards for print access or direct login with osk
I like it so far and deployment was easier than expected
I only had to push the printer connection and driver to all the pcs
3 lines in script. Very fast
ah
I have 2 printers at home, 1 is just a pain as it's a cheap inkjet that probably costs more to make then what it was sold for
The other one is an HP LaserJet P2055dn that my dad got from work and it's pretty nice and simple
I saw this the other day, very interesting! Thanks for sharing, hopefully others will find it interesting. Goes to show how effective social engineering can be, even when used against people who's career is focused on security.
Well, effective or not... That's debatable. I would consider the Visual Studio solution attack as a "standard" phishing example. You trick someone into running your malicious binary and what not
The second stage though, that chrome zero-day (or n-day, whatever people call it)
Yeah, that's kind of un-preventable
. Getting popped just by visiting a webpage. Can't do much to combat that.
I am running OVPN on my vps in Toronto for past 6 months, whole family uses it, extreamly usefull since most of the sites are blocked for me.
But i am running pihole on my localnetwork, and to be exact 2 piholes, i am now thinking that i should install pihole on that server running the vpn service. Anyone got something i should reference by doing so, also i will be reinstalling the whole server with a fresh image, since i want to move from debian to ubuntu. So if there is a ground up tutorial i would like to know.
I had a class on uni regarding networking and debian so i mostly know what i am doing
but why would you want pihole on the vpn server
simply bc i dont want ads?
i know how to do it manualy
but explaing it to others who are not techincal enough is a hussle i dont want
and i want to have pi hole on the go too
Umh no
so?
that's a local reserved ip
In the Internet addressing architecture, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) have reserved various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for special purposes.
I need some of that bandwidth
where is that from? USA?
netherlands
I'm in the US and have 300/300
alright, setting up freenas and so far i only have 1 question, how do i get to the dashboard? does it just show up when i enter the static ip?
yeah go to the ip
thank you
I forgot if it's default http port or a different one
i havnt gotten that far yet, just a part of the video that didnt make sense/wasnt explained
trying to turn a retired laptop into a NAS because the USB ports on my routers are slow
yeah freenas, now called truenas is pretty nice. It uses ZFS as a filesystem which is really good.
and its taking forever for the install drive to load, so the anxiety begins
guess ima try truenas then cuz it aint booting
or somehow find an older version of freenas
wdym it's not booting
how old is the system?
because it should have at least support for uefi
omg wait, uefi might not be enabled
core i7 640M, 6GB ram, etc, its on the old side of things but not like the worst thing ever
no dice
enabled the uefi thing in the boot options, same deal
maybe if i burn a DVD
@peak cloak didnt workon dvd, however, something actually came up this time
hmm idk
Progress made, with uefi enabled, and just letting it do its own thing instead of going into boot options, it loaded
It did
Till i think it froze here
Drive light turns off and curser stops blinking
Same on dvd
Yes they do
Nice
FreeNAS has an 8 gb memory minumum
and thats hard coded?
not sure thyats just what they list for hardware requirements
It says These specifications are the bare minimum requirements to run a small FreeNAS system with baseline performance for 1-4 users.. So it might boot off that but just have bad performance. im not sure ive never tried to install freenas on anything with that low amount of memory before.
Hi all, does someone has a solution for the slow downloadspeed of MSFS?
Hope this is the correct channel.
Flight sim?
Indeed
Whats your internet speed
300Mbit/s
What speed is it downloading at
25Mbit ๐
Is it megabytes or megabits per second
bits
damn thats potato speed
Lol, it is
Can you get 300mbps on the computer you are on?
270-280 real life
How fast are file transfers on that disk
LOl so thats njot your ptoblem. Theres a download tab in the steam client settings panel
Downloading it from MS it self
Hahaha, that explains alot
does anything else download this slow
might be a limit on the server youire downloading from
Via steam for example, everything goes fast
Like from the browser? Usually browser show MB/s, not Mb/s
Yeah because 25 MB/s is pretty good on a 300 mbps connection
I ran it on 2gb
not MB
So thats not the problem with that
junk
could be your cpu bottleneck from uppacking files?
the msfs installer sucks
r9 3900x... Don't think thats a bottleneck
I didn't buy the game, but I was in the beta program. I really like flight sims. It was alright, but it's way too buggy
check task manager
are you trying uefi or bios for the freenas
1000mbit LAN
Do you know download server location
Well i have a pretty good router with packet logging so i just see what IP its coming from and look it up
good chance its proxied though
You can do the same thing with netstat
Can you guide me a bit please?
Looks like an external issue to me... Slow proxy, overseas connection, downoad throttling sum like that
So out of my reach?
yeah open up your command prompt and ping the download url see what comes up
But how do I know the download url
Oh yeah thats an integrated thing isnt it
guess so
I mean you could try netstat but theres alot of shit in there
chucked 8GB of ram in, no dice, might have to try my other hp elite book
Not that much, have a look
I ususally just use my router lol, maybe netstat | find "ESTABLISHED"
uefi
try bios
it wouldnt load at all
oh damn tf
ikr
?
latest mobo formware?
should be
nah talking to sdm
srry
shit im guessing youve already checked forums
Use new boot device with fresh install?
working on it soon
yeah @raw belfry you might have to let it sit for a little while lol
I ran it (truenas) on an ancient core 2 duo computer with 2 gb ram
not very well, but it worked
so specs shouldn't be an issue
I was just experimenting
Yea I was afraid for it. Nothing we can do. I do appreciate your time and effort. Thanks
Lol no problem
That thing has a mobile i7 in it right
What are youy trying to install it on
Like you arent trying on a laptop right
That might not be a good idea
so far i agree lol
If you are planning on usb drives
true nas aint working either
get ready for data loss
you would me soo much better off with a $150 ebay server with a butt load od ECC
the flash drive would just be to boot freenas, the internal HDD would be the NAS storage
just like how many many poeple set it up
I wish i knew more about freenas on weird hardware lol i havent ever installed it on anything but enterprise hardware
fair enough
Idk how much you can spend (well if you are tryna user a laptop probably no much) but keep your eye out for some deals on there
not really, those old servers are power hungry
and loud
i wish i has one, i do have a server machine but its hosting 2 minecraft server and folding at home so its very busy, and doesnt have the power for a VM aswell
well, an old HP prebuilt
that i turned into a "server machine"
My hypervisor is pretty full too lol
yeah, anything can be a server
its all fun and games until you run out of cores
I have a bungee server going for a few people on this dicsord for some youtuber lol
it has a core i7 2600s so 4 power efficient cores with 8 threads, its doing decent for what im throwing at it
takes alot of resources
so I can focus on experimenting with my own things
yeah having your homelab resources taken up by a block game sucks
currently working on a competition project
At least yoiu arent paying for hosting
^ thats why i did it, had the parts laying around
granted i have upgrade it from 1 crappy HDD and 8GB of ram and a USB wireless adapter, to an ssd, decent HDD, 16GB of ram and a PCIE wifi card (the router is on the other side of the house and we dont have Ethernet jacks in our house, and i dont feeling like going into my dads office everytime i wanna mess with it/when remote access mess' up, dont even bring it up lol)
Right after i learend what wired internet was i put like 15 drops in my parents house
I hate wifi with a passion
got my own private ethernet setup between my computers though
i wish i could do that
damn double wide trailer home
they wont let me
lol
Not even one wire?
Wifi? What's wifi? XD
nope
For real
i did get a wifi 6 card though so that helped a bit
Is wifi that boomer technology that lags all the time? Lol
y e s
Lamo
Parents: Is the internet down?
Me on my wired connection: 
i have even thought about trying to get Ethernet to go thought the old phone lines
but that might be slower than what im getting now
plus i dont have an rj11 jack in my room
I think it was in the drake and Josh movie, someone asked about wifi on the plane and the stewardess responded "we don't have wifi but we have wireless internet".
Still holds up as a good joke
Classic!
One end goes in the router and the other goes in the computer. XD
I'm just being silly. What you need help with?
So i have a pfsense box and i paid for all 6 ports so i wann ause all 6 ports
So i want a ling aggregation with vlans going over it for all my interfaces
I can get a link agg show active state, but i cant get any traffic over it with my current vlan setup
How should i get them to communicate? i bever figured out how to make these fucks communicate with vlans
I was hoping it was something simple. Idk anything about pfsense.
i should read this chat more often, this stuff interests me so much however i also feel so dumb reading all the words i half understand
Lol well if i can figure it out quick with google i wouldnt be asking here
Google is useless when it comes to specific stuff.
well depends
yeah it really is
you need to know what to google
sg300 vlans with pfsense, pfsense vlans, etc
what's the OS cisco uses?
I at one point wanted documentation to see if I could run a dusl shock 2 controller over ethernet as an extension and all the results gave me were usb to ethernet dongles.
if anyone has an older freenas ISO file please DM so so i have give you my email so you can send it to me, that would be wonderful
Lol i can get vlans working fine on the switch but i havent ever gottn anything working on pfsense
So I ordered a stock ps2 controller extender, busted open the end and connected the wires myself. Turns out you CAN run DS2 over ethernet
It has a ton of issues tho
Lmao
I successfully played a level on socom II on real hardware using an ethernet extended controller. It was glorious
yeah pfsense is very webui based, kinda don't like it
Well pfsense works pretty good for me. Ive cinsidered VyOS but im a total noob and i have servers running behind it that people access to downtime is kina important
The web UI works pretty good if youre a noob
Oof how did that go
I heard router OS virtualized can get buggy
vyos is pretty good for being virtuialized
shit that might be something imma mess around with then
Since my switch is layer 3 i could just vlan everything and say bye to the dedicated router
vyos is more of a router, pfsense is really more of a firewall
on the pfsense box/vm make sure you have firewall rules for the vlans / ports.
yeah it doesnt even grab an IP but yeah i tried that
don't you still need one for NAT
L3 switches are more for moving from vlan to vlan
without traffic having to go back to the router and congesting that switch <-> router link
Oh shit thats large brain
I should take a networking class lol
My solution to that was more bandwidth to the router. But shit i cant even get lagg working right
what I did on my pfsense box because I didn't want to mess with vlans or port firewall rules was bridge all the ports together and have all the traffic on the bridge.
My $1000 switch i got for free sitting here in l2 mode begging for something to do
I might try that
still have to set up a basic pass all firewall rule on each port though otherwise it defaults to deny all if no rules are set up.
thats the bridge but lan opt1-7 have the same rule. opt8 is my gif ipv6 tunnel.
pls name your interfaces
they are - default .
yeah
You're missing some numbers @rocky badge
?
I'm looking for a fast and efficient way to create login and register pages.
I thought about using nodejs to it @PresentMonkey#8352
lol, that's just what I'm working on
What? lol
I need it for my studies project
kinda, I's pretty bad, but it will never be true prod, just for a competition project
using mongodb as packend and passport.js
You got vlan666/200/10 and so on.
and?
you don't need to go incrementally
And I have 10, 20, 30, 40, 200, 666
it's the first time doing something like this
Haha I'm joking man
Good job present
I found one really big flaw in how I present the index.ejs, but eh I don't care that much to fix it
it's not like it will ever be public
I wish I could copy my login and register pages from my python site
To html js and css project
Winning the contention - going production as winning project
Oh shit I need to fix it
Ya I agree less important right now
First step make it work
Then break it with styling
And fix again
it's more about the hardware
basically
we are using an arduino connected to the browser via WebUSB which will then be connected to the server via socket.io. The basis of this idea is that teachers would be able to give rewards to students over the internet by operating basically a mini "vending" machine. So the teacher can click on "give reward to <student>" and it will dispense the reward to the student with the machine on his desk
@lean pebble
kinda dumb idea
but lots of these design competitions are won with kinda dumb ideas
I'm doing web software
another kid is doing arduino software
another is doing the actual physical design
tbh I'm the only one who knows how to code descently
the one doing arduino will just put everything in one file with no organization or documentation
Does anyone know What could be worng
So my wifi is Down at Home and it is a bit of problem when my Hole Family is sendt Home
We have tryed the normal things like reststarting the routers (we have a mest setup) and we have tryed restarting the modoem but nothing works
Well we are getting a new provider new mouth but we should still get wifi for the rest of this mouth
Figured it out
Nice good luck man :)
im looking for an Ethernet over coaxial adaptor. Any one know any good ones? I dont want it to be expensive either
gah. its 28th, wheres me update :/
@thick minnow MoCA is rather expensive
but it is one standard for coaxial data
patch your devices people
if you use sudo, you have to patch.
even if just installed, its a free rootkit for anyone
let me check
nope, ubiquiti added sudo
unless I did once when I was a noob
idk
yeah well they need patching
allow attackers to reach any device within the internal network and simply requires a victim to click on a malicious link.
Meh, its just pinholing the FW and creating a NAT translation.
I don't consider this an attack, its not uncommon for some to send bogus keepalives to keep the pinhole open in some NAT scenarios
it's not uncommon for someone to try find devices inside the network? (in this context)
yo guys i want a nas for 5 2.5inch hard drives which is so cheap it might set on fire
just get an older computer
how do i use it as a nas
Our vendor is setting the college on fire with their test-on-production rollouts
also is there some way i can mount these hard drives so that they dont catch on fire
Hard drives don't catch fire
i currently have a stack on top of a water cooler blowing hot air at them.
oh ok thats fine then
will doing that allow me to do:
download torrents from my main computer, download the files onto the nas (seed from that freenas computer), and play the files from that nas on a 3rd computer.
I am just saying that this attack is really not that advanced. Have someone click a link, code runs some ARP to find devices, sends a fake packet with the MAC/IP of the device in question, boom, pinhole. I do the same with ostinato in my lab all the time.
are hackers even a thing?
Yes
ive turned firewall off for years now and no antivirus
Your not a big target for hackers
FW in your PC or router?
My "NAS" is server 2016 with smb and nfs enabled
everywhere
it was messing with ports with astroneer a few years ago so i just clicked off on every single security related thing everywhere
why tho
idk ive never had a virus or been hacked
That doesn't mean you go and turn everything off
Turning off your FW in your router is asking for trouble
why tho whos gonna try hack me
how do you know
i mean i seed a lot
maybe they can see my ip? maybe they cant
so what should i do, just have a firewall on my router?
You realizes viruses are not like the 90s and are meant to be as silent as possible
i have a second router plugged into my router tho and even if i turn it on my main router idk how to do it on the second one.
Fair
so what about this?
i trust the romanians
they are good guys
yes
That sounds complicated
I second this
The only loud (not silent?) Malware nowadays are ransomware
Though ransomware is the hype right now
Cause it's easy, just need to scare and force the victim to pay
u gotta download the virus to get it
dont go on sketch sites

idk ive never had any issues
Yep, the name of the game is to stay low and grab all the information you can.
haven;t used realtime antivirus in ... ever?
Cause you're probably not a good target
thats the trick
idk ive never had any issues, that I know of Fixed that for you
well if i dont know about it, its not an issue
@hollow marlin lol, what if this guy is now part of a botnet
So keyboard logging isn't an issue? credit cards, logins, SSN, etc? The more you know
i run the botnet*
all my drives are different sizes
so apparently freenas will mark them all at the lowest capacity

And?
I feel like you don't know raid
i dont know raid at all
all i know is i have a lot of drives with usb connection and i need to plug them into a computer and access them from far away
You use external drives for freenas?
no, but i want to
you can
Add more q
you can use any linux as a nas
freenas just makes it kinda simple
Except freenas isn't linux
freebsd
And?
am i gucci?
windows sucks
idk
what do i search and what do i read
i use linux
ok, i use windows.

research zfs
Have you tried sending it again to us
you'll understand
filesystem
then do i need zfs?
if you value your data you should
not really
its just about 10tb of films
whats the cheapest and most simple way to do this
no
m0ney
wait
im confused
rn
tell me what to do
and i do
cheapest, simplest way.
Pay for Google drive or dropboz
there is no best cheapest way
That means all the ways are infinitely expensive or free
If free then tell me simplest way
there are drawbacks and benifits to each
linux, some sort of share
Some sort?
Any specific method I can search
I don't have time to learn everything unfortunately
"how to Nas"
Benefits of doing it in Linux not windows?
Sanity
like samba i think, and you an use some sort of raid
And will Linux and windows bypass the raid 0 issueswith the diff sized drives I would have with freenas?
simplicity
I have to download Linux rho
and?

raid0, that means if one drive fails you loose your data
this is the purpose of zfs, it has stripping and data integrity checking. This means if a drive fails you can recover the data from the stripe
@thick minnow
raid0 is like the worst way to do this
that 1 drive or all drives?
all iirc
i would rather lose it from that 1 drive than a little from all drives (because remember these are deffo notfilm torrents)
i wouldn't mind losing data tho from that 1 drive if it fails in return for more capacity
then raid0 is not your solution
what you want are individual mounted drives
not a raid
how do i do that
you can use LVM?
any windows equivalent?
idk
see, most of these things are linux only
because everyone in enterprise used some sort of unix
what was the advantage of doing windows over freenas?
is there no way freenas will work cuz zfs
there is none
idk if there is any easy way to setup LVM without cli
is there no way freenas will work cuz zfs
dynamic disks?
what if i dump my 50gb drive?
wdym
and smallest cap is 250gb, largest 1tb
5 drives
will freenas work? lets say i do decide to use zfs
@thick minnow windows also has storage spaces
yeah pretty sure
so 5 x 250, as long as i dont get a 2tb drive or anything it should work fine.
ill check out that link in 10 minutes.
@thick minnow for large arrays, 5 and up, I would stay away from traditional raid
ZFS offers scaling capabilities for much larger quantities of storage
depends, with ZFS there are calculators you can use
ZFS uses something called parity, which is checksums used to make sure integrity on the data disks is present
so its not a direct mirror
ZFS just works if you have very large quantities of data and need to make sure you have fault tolerance
so that if you have individual bit failures on the disks, that those are picked up and corrected automagically
so here you can see
77.22% useable storage
its not economic to run this on less than 5
if you just have two 4TB drives and want to make sure your data is safe
you can just btrfs raid1 or zfs raid1
since those mirror
you have 50% useable storage of total
btrfs has some magic
its a CoW filesystem
copy on write
duplicate files and such are able to be stored once
saving space
this is nice for archival storage, because you can have copies of your archive, without taking up more space
so monthly copy takes up almost no space, only whatever changed
like ZFS, btrfs can also do self healing
yeah, and then there's raid0
that just stripes the volumes together into a single block of storage
doubles the risk of failures, but doubles storage and access speed
there are combinations of this
like with RAID10
two RAID 1 volumes striped together
but the problem with classical raid, is that unless you have a specific drive & specific controller, it wont protect you from filesystem corruptions
thats why ZFS and btrfs are so interesting, because they store checksums and verify if one disk has a bit failure
it can then use the checksum to figure out what that bit would have been, if it wasnt faulty
and rebuild itself
so in a ZFS raid5, I think there's like a 1 disk failure at the most
@peak cloak what was it again?
or two?
doubles storage? as in 100% of drive capacity?
benefit of that over induvidually mounted drives?
1 I think
@thick minnow data corruption
harddrives die.
and most important thing with a storage array
is that it stores bits perfectly.
in raid 0, does all data corrupt if one drive fails
that's why I suggested a LVM
because @thick minnow said he wouldn't mind if data on one drive was lost
this protects you from drive failures
but cannot protect you from filesystem corruptions
this is RAID with parity
4 data disks, striped together
and then three parity disks
I think in this configuration, you can loose like 2 drives before you have data loss
yeah
ZFS spreads this party across the disks
and can do some smart stuff with that
RAID6 attempts to do this
yeah on unraid all the parity is on 1 or 2 drives?
but the whole concept of ZFS is that its built into the filesystem, not just the block device handler
@peak cloak LVM is kinda jank
after you have it in service for a while
it can become a huge mess
if you don't do it cleanly
i heard you guys could help me setup my discord server
rtfm
hqhqhq
how do i plug more drives into a crappy laptop?
well than nvm
is there anyway i can access direct sata tracks?
because 10 drives plugged into 1 usb port is gonna limit bandwith a lot
because usb is not reliable at all
i mean i have a stack of 10 drives ontop of my pc for months now
use pcie if you can
how to use pcie on laptop?
some laptops have an m.2 slot
@thick minnow pull out the wifi adapter
yep
has miniPCIe
how do i open this up to sata?
is there like mini pcie to sata?
they are limited in bandwidth though, since its only a 8x link
also how do i get power to them?
yeah a laptop isn't ideal for this
i have laptop,
i doint have spare desktop
i have a powermac G5
would that work?
any ol $50 used computer can work for this
Well your laptop isn't going to be a laptop after you do this, it's going to be a desktop
@thick minnow if all you need is some sata and PCIe slots for some more storage card
maybe, if you can linux on it
if you have large volumes, you need a lot more memory and CPU
lets say 10tb
would daisy chaining 10 of these work then? https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/sata-cables/8158548/?cm_mmc=UK-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-CSS_UK_EN_Cables_%26_Wires_Whoop-_-SATA+Cables_Whoop-_-8158548&matchtype=&pla-356723080299&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3smABhCjARIsAKtrg6LD59tugNyhbtTyRluNwAt_a1ZmjTp3c-GAWh75POZKAFyNNsRw3DsaAuMsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
idk
maybe
what type of power does that need? is that molex?
man
I have almost the same card
what laptop model you Have and does it have a spwre mSATA interface or a WWAN card?
@thick minnow that's a hat for a raspberry pi
you need to provide external power to it
just buy a cheap used desktop as your nas the torrent can't be that bad if you find a good deal
like old computers from 6 years ago
still do fine as a NAS server
you dont need graphics cus its headless
all you need is a network interface, and sata
I found this near me
My dell has both a spare half mSATA, upon which you can set boot from the BIOS under the internal NIC, I think
And depending on the laptop you have, you might be able to get a dock for it (docking station)
Those usually have extra USB connetivity and maybe some spare eSATA
$150 bucks server
pretty nice as it has remote out-of-band management
Same
so you can add faster network cards, more storage cards
and it's more standard
dumped about 1k on this rig
used PC is much cheaper
yeah the only reason to get a used server is if you need the compute but it also uses more power then an old pc
I needed a little compute too
there's a ryzen 2600 in there
with a 10G network card and like 8 sata drives
and 16GB ECC DDR4 @ 2400Mhz
but for 1G NAS with like 8TB storage
you can use a 50-100 buck PC
DDR3 is much cheaper if used
im suprised u even need power for a server
i was just gonna torrent not films to it.
the one in the picture has a 250watt supply
im mean like so much performance power.
@thick minnow I have like 6 virtual machiens running on this lol
with a couple games, some websites
why?
and other programs
cus I have a fast internet connection and like to have these things at home?
I have like 8 public IP addresses on this network :P
why the vm's?
what u running on them?
i wanna find a reason to get stuff like that in the future lol
vm's for each program
much easier to manage
oh so u just use them to connect to when ur out e.g music.
@thick minnow I host services for the internet
not exactly going to say what, since I don't want to dox myself lol
most of public endpoints here are in the cloud
if u host ur own website, is that a doable thing to do?
definetly
and is it easy to get a security certificate.
Yep
oh really
yep, let's enrypt
you can use letsencrypt, if you have a domainname
just need to prove you own the server
how do u protect against ddos etc?
and a valid domain pointing to that IP
either a DNS challenge, or HTTP challenge
@thick minnow thats what the tunnel to my vps in the cloud is for
that is a public endpoint for my services
it just gets routed to my local network
other things like my home VPN has its own IP as well
I run a MC server for my friends, it has no ddos protection
how much does all that cost? monthly costs? except power
yeah if its just for friends you dont need anti ddos
but once oyu have an active playerbase, and one guy gets mad with his booters
yep
he just knocks you offline and ruins the fun
i mean im paying 30 quid a month + 6 for certificate for a website
@thick minnow 
whats payback time if i host my own server?
@thick minnow vps in the cloud is cheaper
but self managed can also be a lot of fun
and having it at home, means super fast access for yourself
idc about super fast access for myself, what are vps?
like I have a 10G backbone in my home for no good reason
@thick minnow virtual private server
it's not the most cost effective, but you own it yourself, you are not at mercy of your vps provider
like a virtual server in the cloud
you rent a cpu core and some memory
and get a public IP with some bandwidth
what prices are we looking at tho?
also depends on what exactly you want to run on it if home vs in a datacenter is needed
for an idea
for self hosted or vps?
selfhosted
depends alot
can i use letsencrypt if im using a vps?
are you running a little pi
Yes
or a huge power hungry old server
The smallest plan has 1GB ram, 2 cores, 25GB storage and 1TB transfer
with 1G upload and 40G download
new servers are more expensive but less power hungry
can i use letsencrypt if im not hosting?
@thick minnow they are just a certificate authority
also you can rent a dedicated box in place of a vm on a server if needed dedicated box with 64gb ram an an i7-6700 and 512gb nvme drives are 50 usd depending on hosting provider
they have a little linux tool called certbot which is a program that you use to sign the certificate
but that is 50 usd every month to use the box and has more costs for data sent
@thick minnow benefit of a little box at home as a NAS with some horsepowers, is that you can also host other services on it
and if you have a fast home internet connection, you can just set it up at home
so you dont have to pay someone every month
vroom vroom
who needs a VPS 
:3
I have a fiber straight to that datacenter
Peering is expensive though, if I want 800mbit I need to pay like 60% more
already paying 74, I think 800mbit plan was like 170bucks
benefit with this ISP is that I have a small VPS in their datacenter, to which I have fast access
@thick minnow upload is you care about when hosting services
and problem with most residential connections is that they aren't symetric
considering it seems more expensive ill think ill just stick to my website hoster.
considering doing this on a smaller scale to access my music library tho
Is there any way I can use a computer running free nas also as a printer server?
technically yes
cups works on freebsd
@clear igloo
https://blob.rocks/waR0sFIZFR.png
Ads on your controller? Ouch
and a useless "WiFi experience" metric
this is the "classic" dashboard https://blob.rocks/niQTOgojOL.png
what are cups?
cups is a printer server
will it not work on freenas?
im new to everything and freenas seems hard enough to make it work
freenas is freebsd
oh ok
Hold up. @rocky badge, what controller were you using where it shows the ad?
6.1.51
on a cloud key?
VM
Although I consider that to be COMPLETE BS by Ubiquiti (they seem to be making a bunch of BS moves lately), it's not showing on my cloudkey, so I won't be actively hostile to Ubiquiti for now.
The moment I start getting ads on my controller, I become actively hostile to Ubiquiti. I don't tolerate that crap.
yeah
but the r710 is an old server
loud and hungry
we have one at school
What's it worth?
i have one in my basement
new VMware doesnt support it soooo move on
its a 7+ year old platform at this point
not much tbh
get at least an Rx20 or up
or with hp
a Gen8 at least
yeah its kinda stupid
I'm running esxi on my older r710 mostly for fun and some dbs on there
It's unprofessional, it's stupid, it's arrogant, it's useless. Why tick off your professionals?
Rx10
Ask me about my r900
@peak cloak yup...I have a R620 and DL360p G8
Luckily you can always go back to the classic dashboard lol
Yea, but they are phasing it out.
6.1.x isn't supported yet on UDMP 1.8.x either @waxen saddle
@cursive valve where at
Only 1.9.x
europe?
@little schooner i wanna build that mini PC linus had with the EPYC and ditch the R710, but 4 ram slots sucks
Id rather build a regular PC
I cant trust myself with expensive parts
I wanna upgrade the cpu and ram in my servers lol
proceeds to hop into bios to overclock ram with no experience doing so on a $1200 PC
I only have 64GB in my R620 and 32GB in the DL360p
@little schooner i am also concerned about noise and power usage, so linus server is attractive
I want to do the same. But I do need expansion so I'm still on the fence.
I was looking at an HP DL20 G9 once as a small server
I want one of those Supermicro short depth
I wish the stupid iDRAC port on my R620 didn't die
where can i download and older version of freenas?
20 quid? What's a number? Or is it literally scrap?
close to scrap tbh, idk exactly how much
it's not worth it tbh
like 4 years back than maybe
but now
I made the jump ๐
nice
sfp+ or copper?
ethernet
ah
maybe my isp will roll out 10g at some point lol
I do a lot of work with 4k and 8k files, so it would help a lot especially with covid
10 gig ๐
ah true, just gotta make sure the whole route can support 10 gig
Yeah I am just starting now cause no idea if or when my isp will have 10g
Mainly just between my desktop and nas atm
yeah, could you "cache" your files in your NAS when you are working with them?
Currently trying to setup a CPE for some ranged wifi, and cannot for the life of me get the web access up
anyone have experience with them?
so basically, im tryna get my mc server all port forwarded, i did it before in the past, i dont remember how i did it, when i used sites like port checker, it says 25565 was closed despite having my ipv4 supposed to being hooked up to it
well for one that's a reserved IP address not your public IP
In the Internet addressing architecture, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) have reserved various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for special purposes.
you are behind NAT, and 192.168.x.x is reserved for that purpose
lookup on google my ip
or
if you can on your router check your WAN interface IP
for example
this is my WAN interface
yes, you put in local IP for you what machine you are port forwarding
but to check it on a port checker you use public IP
also fyi bad idea to expose FTP
local ip is 192?
ah ok
should i have an ftp forwarded?
no
kk
what are you hosting?
Minecraft server
ok
