Agreed. This whole lawsuit is one giant looming catastrophe. If ISP’s are found liable for copyright infringement, that will be the effective end of the open internet. From there, I can already see the argument taking shape that ISP’s, telco’s, and account holders are all effectively accomplices in all sorts of crimes facilitated using communications networks.

OK recording industry. Riddle me this. If you manage to cut off my internet access, how am I supposed to purchase your media?

Yeah, with something that size you’re pretty much limited to containers.

Edit: Which is totally fine, OP. Self hosting is an opportunity to learn and your setup can be easily changed as your needs change over time.

I use one VM per service. WAN facing services, of which I only have a couple, are on a separate DMZ subnet and are firewalled off from the LAN.

It’s probably little overkill for a self hosted setup but I have enough server resources, experience, and paranoia to support it.

I have toddlers. I get told “no” all the time. Even when it doesn’t make any sense, which is most of the time.

Hope he likes expensive homeowners premiums. That’s what you get without a good local fire department.

Why did you have to go and make this personal?

…Now where did the rest of those donuts go?

Not nearly as much as I once did. I quit dipping about 15 years ago and started drinking a lot less after getting diagnosed and medicated for ADHD.

I do enjoy a good cigar and a glass of Macallan occasionally but that’s too expensive to be a regular habit.

Lol that was not the Amazon guy. That was probably a cat that decided your planters were as good a port-a-potty as they were going to get in the moment.

I use Outlook for work and personal. I’ve gotten used to it and old habits die hard I guess.

The overall state of technology is actually pretty great. There’s just a few really shitty organizations that tend to dominate the headlines with their pump and dump schemes.

I want to make sure I understand your goal correctly. Here’s what I’m getting.

1. You have a wire guard connection that you want to use for outbound traffic from your local LAN.
2. You have a Debian box that serves at the client in this situation.

Here’s the part where I’m a little fuzzy

3. You want to connect to your local LAN using another wire guard connection and have WAN requests routed from clients connecting to your LAN (via wire guard) out the wire guard connection mentioned in #1.

Did I get any part of that wrong?

Edit: NVM. I saw your response to another comment that sounds like this is exactly what you want.

This should be achievable via routing. I actually do the same thing. The main difference is all the work is done on my router which handles both wire guard connections and routing.

At the minimim you’re going to need:

• A NAT rule on your local router to port forward incoming wire guard requests on the WAN to your Debian box. **Assuming the Debian box is also the wire guard server.
• An iptables DSTNAT rule on your Debian box to route local traffic to the LAN gateway.
• An iptables DSTNAT rule on your Debian box to route outbound WAN traffic that does NOT originate from your Debian box to the gateway at the other end of the outbound wire guard connection.

Sounds like an interesting read. The premise makes sense. Take the washing machine for example. Before the advent of the automatic washer, women spent most of their time cooking and doing laundry. Incredibly time consuming manual labor.

Washing machines freed up a ton of time but also require complex infrastructure to operate. Same for any other “time saving” appliance.

The comforts and conveniences enjoyed by much of modern society are unparalleled by any other point in history but just maintaining all those comforts and conveniences is a ton of work in itself.

“Sorry boss, I’m not going to make it to work today. I was trying to start my car and dislocated my thumb.”

Petty revenge and siphoning off taxpayer money. Two birds, one stone.

Yes. I rarely have any sync issues.

Personal finance software is tough. It’s costly to develop, even with a very limited feature set. Automatic transaction downloads are a must if you want widespread adoption and that has its own set of complications.

I still use Quicken – which doesn’t get anyone excited since it’s still a Windows (and Mac) desktop app built on an ancient codebase – but I’m a power user and have yet to find an adequate replacement. It’s not sexy but it does the job. I’m more the exception than the rule. The average user probably doesn’t need or care about the same features that I do.

Oddly enough, one of its redeeming qualities is that it runs quite well on Linux through Wine.

I’m going to guess the battery. It’s also the easiest place to start investigating. Everything else can still come on even if it doesn’t have enough power to start the car.

How long are you leaving your jumper cables attached before trying to start it? Jumping can take at least a few minutes to build up enough charge.

How old is the battery? There’s usually a month/year of manufacture sticker on it. If it’s 5+ years old, there’s a good chance it’s due for replacement.

Is the negative post connection tight? There isn’t any good reason the cable should be slipping off the post. Loose connection could also cause the car not to start.

Easy. Mine is the cute but stupid one who keeps walking into walls and barking at his own shadow. And no, he’s not blind. Just dumb.
