@thufie @julialuna@chaos.social why do people not read bios before follow requesting :/

i remember balena Etcher getting a lot of hate because oh no muh electron but, it is *so* much nicer to use. it does dbus auth, it does smart disk selection so you don't overwrite your system drive, it has a validating step (that you can skip too!)

hah this was such a brain weird moment, testing my usb-cereal crossover cable between new server and thinkpad, accessing both over ssh from my desktop..

and typing in one serial console seeing it show up on the other :3

@otyugh well, iso's are disk images also commonly used for dvd rips so it's not that wrong

it wasn't dnd in the end, as one person couldn't make it. we still hung out virtually and played games, was nice

@pastelpunkbandit@hellsite.site hi has anyone solved this yet

you've heard about "My Drunk Kitchen" but what about My Drunk Hardwarelab

@dragon @haskal yes, incoming would be handled by the iptables portforward rule in that case, directing all incoming traffic on 80/443 to your homeserver, over the tunnel

@dragon @haskal if you really just want it to push traffic both ways, you only need wireguard + (iptables) portforward

@haskal @dragon without the reverse proxy you would have to port-forward to the homeserver's port 80/443 and uhh that sucks (fuck iptables) :p
also that way you can have the vps nginx itself listen on 80/443 so some sites/paths are handled by the vps and some reverse proxied onto the homeserver

but as haskal mentions that's the tradeoff, with a setup like that all traffic has to be decrypted on the vps

@dragon as i run pixie.town to a setup like that, here's what I do to prevent that:

- wireguard (vpn software) to make a tunnel between vps and server at home
- server has all outgoing traffic going through that vpn
- nginx runs on vps, reverse proxy to the internal wireguard interface IP for the homeserver (something like 10.0.0.2)

@dragon with just a reverse proxy the outgoing fedi connections would happen from your house
