I always tell the interviewer what they want to hear. Its very obviously a game of correct answers.

I lie on my resume too, but not in ways I can't back up.

For instance, I imply I have a degree because I did go to college for 4 consecutive years for a multitude of degrees. So I have different resumes with different majors depending on what job I'm applying to. I mostly use my CS/Engineering degree now-a-days. I'm able to talk the talk enough that they've never checked or asked for a transcript.

But it sounds more like your job wanted to, on paper, be compliant with workers rights stuff

"We offer a break at X and Y hours."

But had a cultural expectation to not follow it. Which is dumb and they can, in my humble opinion, get fucked. Nursing has a massive burnout rate and shit like that is why.

I think you should recognize you dodged a bullet more than you should think about "lying" in an interview.

You didn't ghost her first of all. Inadvertently or otherwise.

This is a pretty easy way to gauge someone's interest by just seeing if they ever message you first.

Really you should just take this as a sign to move on and work on relationships that are two sided. Ones where the other person texts first.

Sorry its happened to you, but its always better now then after you've invested a serious amount of time and emotional energy into a relationship.

I gotta see my spell work damn it!

Ya know. I don't know. Every state does this as far as I can tell and so I've never questioned it.

If I had to guess, its how the DOT or Highway department shills to Tue new governor

"Hey look boss, we put ya name on da side of Interstate 69 from Illinois!,"

We had users at work who swore by that so hard that my boss bought licenses for "Classic Shell" that just did that.

Usefulness wise, the pinned program and search method is objectively much better.

I'm gonna say it.

I thought windows 8/8.1 were very fun

Putting Coreboot and NordVPN on the same tier is crazy

The fact that gods and magic also seemingly exist really fucks me up because its explicit in Tue original book that god is just a tool for smarter people (Foundation) to manipulate dumber people (everyone else).

Obnoxious atheist take? Sure I guess.

But it feels as if someone rebooted harry potter and made the kids saying something nice about trans people or Jews.

Legitimately, if they had just done a "A Foundation Story: Empire" and then just did the genetic dynasty stuff, I don't think any of us would be mad.

But I don't think general audiences have read much Foundation these days so they would have struggled to set it in that universe without an established Foundation Cinematic Universe.

Anyways, I'm super excited for Tue Foundation super cut that's just Empire.

That really adds to the evidence that he's always been a sell out.

Its obvious in retrospect but now that he's a right wing grifter its hard to avoid now.

That's what I was thinking too. Ijust feel better having another layer between the open web an my server

 

So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

What is everyone else's set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

I'm sure I'll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

(I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)

 

Anyone have any recommendations for Blog software?

I was considering for a while just using a mastodon instance as my blog because I just kinda wanna sign in and upload my papers that I've written. I was pretty close with Hugo. I'd rather not have to build the site everytime I upload and I want to self host and not use Github actions. I think I still could do it since I like using Cloudflared tunnels.

What is all out there?

 

I run my production Jellyfin server and a few other services on a Optiplex sff computer with a thicc hard drive and a low profile GPU.

I want to build two more of these with thicc Hard drives so that my parents and my in-laws can have a local Jellyfin instance that I manage remotely and they just need a box plugged in somewhere at their homes.

Is it possible to make Proxmox build a VPN tunnel on boot so I can just have it in my cluster dash. Like using tailscale or openvpn.

Or am I going to have to go with my original plan and put that on the same box as the Jellyfin server and then just VNC in?

Any tips or ideas?

 

So I'm trying to get Jellyfin accessible on the open web through a cloudflared tunnel

I have a default install of Jellyfin running that is still accessible locally.

I'm able to ping TV.myblogdomain.com

And the Cloudflared dashboard says the connection is up.

I have implemented page rules and caching rules to turn CDN off.

I have set the DNS server on the Jellyfin VM to be the Cloudflared DNS server.

It's pointed to https://jellyfin:8096/

And it wasn't working with or without a CIDR in the tunnel configuration.

Should I try uninstalling fail2ban and see if that helps? I thought I configured it right pointing it to the 8096 port but maybe I need to do 80/443?

Any tips or guides would be appreciated.

 

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?

 

I've been wearing Xero shoes as my preferred every day shoe and my hiking shoe of choice for a while. I got a few pairs on a steep sale and now my last pair is starting to die.

I don't mind getting more, but I'd like to see what else is out there. I used to wear Altra and I've gotten Hobbart shoes, but those were weird shaped and rubbed on my pinky toes.

Any suggestions for foot shaped shoes? I'd prefer some cushion like Altras and bonus if there's a business casual looking variety

SIEM (startrek.website)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by nagaram@startrek.website to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I am studying for my Network+ and my Sec+ hoping to shadow our Cyber Sec guy at work.

I want to set up a SIEM on my home network so I can be used to it's operations and how it works by the time I start messing with Pentesting stuff. Then I'm going to use it to try and track myself when I pentest myself.

I was looking into Graylog or Security Onion since they seem to have decent documentation (and I can find videos on how to set them up which is nice).

I was recommended building my own ELK stack and doing everything manually for maximum learning potential. Which I understand why this is a good idea, but I think I'd rather be as close to "baby's first SIEM" as possible or at least have a robust how-to guide.

What do you suggest?

 

So I am an Atheist and I find a lot of joy in going through ritual motions. It is comforting and it does de-stress to sort of "pray" to an altar that I built. Logically it has no purpose other than to scare away proselytizers and be a neat conversation piece, but it is my favorite aspect of new age witch and pagan cultures.

Similarly, occult practices from those cultures and those found in things like Kabbalah or Chaos Magick are good for simple goal manifestation. I know in Chaos Magick, the idea is to set in motion the intention of whatever goal you have and that will increase the odds of it happening, but one must still work to achieve the goal. You cannot simply cast a spell for more money you must also be working towards a promotion. That idea paralleled with an idea in Atomic Habits for this kind of manifestation. It claimed that saying out loud daily what your goal was increased the chances of you actually doing the work to achieve the goal.

I wrote more about it at my blog, but I'm interested in what other people find interesting in other spaces.

 

Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other "apolitical" gun club.

I've been in the SRA for 4 years, it's not great, but I met comrades local to me. I've learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I'll post more getting started stuff if this doesn't get banned.
