I’ll admit I let out a pained chuckle while reading that. We all have at least one like that who, almost like a savant terrorist, can pick the worst time after being ‘just dangerous enough’ to inflict maximum pain for minimum effort. And then youre left with all that energy from exasperation just bouncing around inside.

I feel that. Theres a strict requirement of fortitude in this industry. Fighting against an unknown bug/challenge is draining and requires admitting you lack knowledge and being willing to persevere in the face of a fruitless result. Shits hard and will beat you down if you let it.

In a shock to absolutely not a single person who has had to “hand craft” and maintain code… Its hard enough maintaining shit you wrote last week let alone adapting or collaborating on stuff you didn’t.

… so people who shit out recycled code from other people passed through a randomization algo are totally lost from step one. And easy come… easy go.

Oh I need to maintain this? Oh the magic box can’t do it? Technical debt?! Oh, I’m bored now… guess I’ll go inject my brilliance somewhere else.

But the Problem I was facing was unique to the 10GbE Adapter. I used a 1GbE adapter before for years, without this issue.

Every home labber will eventually have that coming of age trial: ritual combat with the monster they have constructed. Glad to see you got the best of yours haha.

I find that outside of chasing diminishing returns - the biggest boost to upload speeds generally involves getting service that isn’t from spectrum or comcast.

The speeds you are suggesting seem to imply you are on some cable carrier. Be consciously aware that there is frequently fine print stating up to on your meager upload allotment. You may be optimising against unseen forces.

It looks like you put in some effort on tuning which is awesome - and hopefully is helpful to some as a starting point… but from experience tuning is often very unique to each individual setup. That said: kudos on drawing that much out of your setup.

GitLab

That was a rabbit hole. I never heard the term prior to this. Pretty interesting.

Ah yeah, those were interesting times. (Although there were some historically interesting viruses back in the day for those floppies too)

Fond memories though. Learning basic on a cartridge… Using literal cassettes for storage. That horrifying sound of a 5" floppy drive struggling to read that file you really needed. Good times.

Generally speaking that was probably what most of us would identify as pre internet times - but usenet / BBS / and early internet and prior definitely was more bright eyed and optimistic. Probably because it was more about learning and tech and less about monotizing every square inch of your existence 😂

I doubt they will drop below 1-2 weeks. Any service outage would turn into a ddos when service was restored.

Is this the same trust that would infect a box in under a minute if not behind a router?

The same trust of needing to scan anything you downloaded for script kiddie grade backdoors?

Zero click ActiveX / js exploits?

Man I’m probably the same age and those are some intense rose colored glasses 😅

Our software is basically a web app that makes it easier to install and manage supported third-party apps. Wireguard (currently) is only used for remote access, if you don’t need that you don’t have to turn it on.

So my point I was driving at - especially with such a diverse offering of wireguard services which do not charge for (effectively) VPN access to your own infrastructure - I was more interested in why your service would be looking to pay gate it as a “premium” feature.

This would be different if we were talking you hosting all these services on your infrastructure but considering the marketing to homelab - I find it to be an unusual choice… And was curious as to the reason for the decision.

For security, everything runs in an isolated sandbox using docker and that also answers your other question.

Right. Docker does sandboxing. That’s a core feature it provides - I’m just trying to ascertain what precisely your company is actually offering outside of a ui wrapper on these established services.

I mentioned earlier that your branding seems to emphasize security - but all I’m seeing is mention of existing security features inherent in the software being wrapped. Does your team do additional tuning for security? Do they have experience in infrastructure security, hardening systems, or the like? To be clear I just want to better understand the branding and what is being offered.

the same goes for backups, they can be geo-redundant if you use our service, but these are optional feature.

Alright so this is a feature that a homelab user can actually use - backups. Could you expand on how you will be managing this feature / plan to implement it once it is offered?

Alright so I’ll ask a hardball question or two. What precisely are you offering that isn’t just repackaged install scripts and a wireguard wrapper?

What is your / your teams background in software security? The implication of the name and your “branding” are selling a lot - what outside of docker and wireguard are you bringing to the table. On that note: why docker?

Further - you are paywalling remote access… When your platform is utilizing wireguard.

Netbird (one of many examples) doesn’t even do that… What’s the reasoning?

I have more but let’s start there.

Anyone know how to turn the US off and on again to verify we can roll back? I wanna say we might have some corrupted sectors…

It worked on my box!

To be fair a certain security company was in global news for exactly that same send it behavior. Why waste precious resources on multiple instances? Investors hate waste. 😅

This. They provide outstanding insights and the articles they provide alongside the data are quite good.

Strange- the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is “incorrect” by your assertions. Further you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect. Nothing I stated is dramatic: it is an observation and a comment on an increasing trend popping up around several projects. This particular topic and your responses within it align with that trend. My closing statement was directed at that. You are welcome to not like it but resorting to insults is a bit childish.

Honestly I really don’t think I am.

I’ve seen a number of topics over the last few weeks that are framed as this evil developer is doing a sinister thing…. And for what it’s worth I read the “clickbait” and then did my due diligence and followed the links / git responses etc and lo and behold every. single. issue. was stemming from that community.

We aren’t reddit. This isn’t 4chan. If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it’s being unreasonable… don’t come here looking for a personal army.

It seems to me they chose to provide a platform that vastly simplifies the installation of their software and maintenance of its code from a debugging standpoint. This seems perfectly reasonable. This appears to bother a particular community who feel entitled enough to demand multiple developers cater to their distribution’s needs. Shit needs to stop.

The “messenger” seems to have a lot of bias they are parading around as an objective truth.

From what I’ve read the “white knights” you appear to be referring to are pretty clearly either developers or people with programming experience. To my eye they appear to be pretty level headed and on point in their observations.
