I have 2 questions:
Do I understand the colors correctly in that /home is deprecated and shouldn’t be used? What’s the alternative in that case?
Where would you guys put configuration files for services? /srv seems like an adequate directory
Honestly, in my opinion it kind of is (though I’m not an expert on it). Except for convenience I don’t think a browser should be allowed to access my USB devices. Though I would welcome it if it was enabled with the same kind of request that pops up when a browser wants to access the microphone or camera.
I just wished they were more relevant in german politics.
It’s the typical dilemma. Vote for a party you know won’t get enough votes to do something or vote for the least bad of the established parties.
Thanks for your reply. I think I managed to solve this issue and have updated my post to reflect this. Apparently I had a setting disabled in Pi-Hole which caused my DNS requests to be forwarded upstream for some reason, even though there existed a local DNS entry.
It returned the local IPv4 address of the server and two IPv6 addresses belonging apparently belonging to a cloudflare server in california.
I think I managed to fix the issue though. I have updated my post to include my solution
I think I fixed the issue by enabling the Never forward reverse lookups for private IP ranges option in Pi-Hole. After that I flushed my dns cache again and called tracert for my domain name. I only get one hop directly to my server now. nslookup also shows only local addresses now.
Outside hosting isn’t really something I want to consider. I didn’t mention this in my post but this setup is for my media server which needs a lot of storage space. I don’t know about the pricing for a VPS but I am pretty sure it isn’t as cheap as I would want it. Also uploading my media to a VPS with my upload rate would take a lot of time whenever I want to add something new.
Using two hostnames for accessing the same service isn’t really an option either unfortunately. The specific part I’m trying to set up is a navidrome server for music. The app I use to access the server is called Symfonium and can only add one address per media server. I could get around that by adding multiple media sources but that would result in all of my media appearing twice in searches.
Looking at the output of that command I get the following for my ethernet network interface
DNS-Server . . . . . . . . . . . : fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d
192.168.1.60
fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d
Using nslookup on that IPv4 address tells me that all of those addresses are pointing to my pi-hole
nslookup 192.168.1.60
Server: pi.hole
Address: fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d
Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.60
I’ve added another local DNS entry on my Pi-Hole which points the domain I use to the same server but this time uses its IPv6 address. That doesn’t seem to help though or it takes some time to update. I flushed the DNS cache on my machine after adding this entry though.
Do you have a better alternative you can recommend? My upload rate isn’t all that good so I would like to avoid having more traffic than necessary leaving my network if the target is within my network anyway.
When I use tracert I can see the package going through a server in Frankfurt which is definetely outside of my local network. The final IP address that tracert shows me is from a cloudflare server in california (2606:4700:3033::ac43:b10f) according to this site: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
Using nslookup for my domain I get 3 addresses. The first two are cloudflare addresses in the US. The final one is my servers local IP address.
I didn’t set anything like that up. Is that something that might be enabled by default on my router? If so, how do I check it?
He’s right on all counts. Larian is – today – in an unparalleled position as a developer of RPG games. They have great experience, multiple studios, a supportive community, and a huge IP.
All of that, except maybe the supportive community, are traits which the huge gamestudios/publishers like EA and Ubisoft also have. I’m pretty sure it would be hard for ubisoft to claim inexperience when developing the next assassins creed for example.
I think the main difference, as mentioned in the article, is the vision. Ubisoft wants to make the next games in their money making franchises. Larian wanted to make a good game.
I have no clue. Guess that’s something you would have to try, though I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work.
There’s a mod on nexusmods to skip the startup intros. That might help in speeding things up a little
Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.
One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.
