  • Majority of openrc/hardened/selinux binhost setup is done, need to figure out the small things.

    Lemmy was also giving a bit of a headache, fiddled with limits some more.

    I’m fairly certain there’s been an attempt to play with some opnsense config, but there was only time to install the updates. Or maybe this was last week 🤔










  • in case you want to tell me what I have is fine and I don’t need an upgrade

    What you have is fine and you don’t need an upgrade 😁

    But we’re not looking for fine, are we? :)

    I would keep the gpu and get as many cpu cores and ram as my budget allows. Once you cross into “stupid amount of RAM” territory you can start utilising tmpfs for transient things such as jellyfin transcode directory to:

    • preserve those precious ssd writes (not really relevant anymore)
    • make it more efficient (feels-good kind of relevant)
    • running a filesystem in ram is really cool (most relevant, naturally :D)



  • No, comercial IPs are fine. You’ll have trouble with some of them - Digital Ocean is a notorious example - where the provider itself blocks outbound port 25 and there’s nothing you can do. I think DO only does that for new accounts.

    I myself am running it on Linode - it did get purchased by Akamai a couple of years ago, so I can no longer blindly recommend it - but so far it’s been working fine. One thing I did recently discover was the ability to request a /56 block on Linode - my pre-assigned IPv6 got blacklisted somewhere as at least the whole /64 and simply generating another IP from the same /64 did not help. Getting a fresh block solved it for me, though, and now I know that if this /56 gets blacklisted - it’s my fault. Unless, of course, I get caught up in a /48… 😳
