Vanilla nginx is still too far over my head, but Nginx Proxy Manager makes easy work of it.

A lot of people like Caddy but I’ve never tried it. The config files are much simpler and it auto-renews certificates (but so does Nginx Proxy Manager).

I enjoyed my quick visit to that place.

A while ago I decided that BTH only works well for 1 device (using wireguard at least) at a time.

I messed around and made different profiles (not sure of the actual name) for each device and that solved my problems.

Worth a shot.

I thought it was going to take a turn similar to how Cricket dated a dog that one time, but nope that guy was just raw doggin’ it all the time.

Are you familiar with Mikrotik? If you’re located in the USA, you can browse Streakwave, Roc-Noc, Baltic Networks and others to see about pricing.

I only did a little research and this one seems to fit your needs (8 PoE/PoE+ ports, low power consumption) https://mikrotik.com/product/css610_8p_2s_in

One downside to their more inexpensive switches is they run SwitchOS instead of RouterOS as their software. You can still accomplish tons of stuff, but some people have concerns that RouterOS has sort of been left to die without many updates in the works.

You can also use their routers as switches. I do that with the PoE version of the RB5009 https://mikrotik.com/product/rb5009upr_s_in. It’s more expensive than the switch I mentioned, but I like it for the form factor and that it runs RouterOS.

You seem to be tech savy enough so you can figure out how to configure it as a switch. Basically you just add all of the ports to Bridge.

Is it maybe because of physical distance? How far is your VPS from the Backblaze region? Check the bucket “S3 Region”. I’m stuck on west, for example, even though I live on the other side of the country. There’s a way to switch, but I haven’t had the need to bother with it.

Thanks for the info.

That environment isn’t suitable for a domestic animal.

I haven’t. What do people usually do with the bucketed mice? Drive them across the train tracks and release them?

I wish there was an easy compromise. I subscribe to an Owl community on Lemmy, so it’s safe to say I was already aware of the mouse poison problem when I decided on what to do. I’ve just been trying to reduce my guilt by telling myself the house mice are staying in the house when they croak.

It has also been on my list to stuff some copper wool into some spots where the mice might be getting in. If it’s not too hot today I’ll get on the ladder.

I believe (without much evidence) that the Barred owls visit our yard for frogs, toads, and voles. We live next to wetlands and have loads of toads.

The Atlantic is a US based publication.

We live in the woods, so we have mice, owls, and all sorts of other wildlife. I don’t want to hurt wildlife, but I’m definitely not going to tolerate families of mice in the attic. I also don’t have the time or energy to climb into the attic every day to check traps – so mouse bait it is.

My hope is that the mice are dying in or near the house, and not out in the open where an owl might nab them. I’ve found some indoors, and have smelled others. That’s good evidence to me that the house mice are staying in the house to die. I’ll look into MouseX like @[email protected] mentioned, though.

Self hosting a calendar isn’t too difficult. I use NextCloud personally, but as the saying goes “it’s overkill for your specific requirements”. Nothing wrong with overkill, though.

Another option might be LubeLogger. It’s designed to track car maintenance, but you can set up time based reminders. For example you can create a “vehicle” called Dishwasher and set a once a month reminder. The problem is notifications… LubeLogger only does email if you set it up. I hacked together Ntfy notifications but that was one of the more difficult things I’ve ever figured out. It’s possible, though.

I love MikroTik, but I don’t think it meets OP’s needs. RouterOS isn’t beginner friendly.

Why so little sleep?

Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven’t shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.

They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don’t have a track record to show that they probably don’t work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.

If you’re a good seeder as you’ve claimed, then working your way up shouldn’t be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.

I don’t know anything about the difference between a traffic ticket and whatever type of “criminal summons” these 6,000 people are getting, so maybe that part isn’t fair. If you’re riding on the sidewalk, or cut in front of a pedestrian who’s crossing in a crosswalk, you deserve a ticket of some sort.
