The auction servers are not really that different from the others. You get the same support. Every few years I hop onto a new auction server when it’s cheaper than my current one. Never had any problems. When a HDD dies I get a new one as quickly as with the normal dedicated servers.
What you do with it is up to you. I run most of my services on bare metal. I did some virtualisation years ago but didn’t see any benefits. I have one or two services running through Docker. That might go up with time, as it seems to be the easiest way to get something up with the optimal configuration.
One of main reason’s I love docker is that migration is really easy, I just go ahead and tar up the docker compose directory and move to another distro and done, migration is done and everything is on another system.
When it comes to performance you get bare metal performance while keeping virtualitization benefit’s like container’s.
You’re absolutely right! I’m not super tech-savvy and I was convinced that those file sharing protocols were more or less equivalent (I only tried to compare in terms of speed). I never payed much attention to it because my other computers were doing fine with one or the other.
My main reason for hetzner is the cheapness of it, but have been reading a bit about hetzner and have seen some people have networking issues with them.
So I have decided to do a bit of searching around to see if there is any other good dedicated server provider to use that won’t break a bank.
But at the end I will most likelly get a hetzner auction server and see if there are any issues.
have seen some people have networking issues with them.
I’ve been a happy customer for hetzner for almost a decade and I haven’t had any issues with their networking. If you’re running virtualization you need to take care of you MAC addresses or they won’t allow traffic and eventually will kick you off from their platform (and they have a good reason to do so). As long as you play by their rules on their hardware it’s rock solid, specially for the price.
Well, the main purpose of this seems to be an eBook reader that integrates language learning and translation.
Its a good idea, but few language learners start out with a backlog of foreign language texts that they would like to read.
The exception would be your typical manga/light novel weebo, and this seems to be precisely what this is developed for with the Japanese language tools included.
It works well! I have one AdGuardHome instance running on my home server and one running on a Raspberry Pi, both using Docker. Having two prevents the internet from breaking in case I have to shut down one of them for some reason.
As an AdGuard home user for more than a few years, I switched back to Pihole because it wasn’t really any better. It was also easier to pair pihole with Unbound.
You should definitely set up pihole but I don’t think it’ll block ads on streaming apps unless I’m wrong and someone can point me to something that explains how I can set that up.
Your bridge isn’t bridging properly. If Router B is sending a destination unreachable then the packets are being handled on it further up the stack at layer 3 by some sort of routing component rather than by a layer 2 bridging one.
run ip route and ip route get $CLIENT_PUBLIC_IP on router B and see if it has a route to the client, and/or if the default route is correct. Its default gateway might not be set correctly (it should be router A)
and responds appropriately (SYN, ACK),
Does it respond to the client address (public IP?)
I’m not exactly sure what the previous issue was, but it appears that, possibly, the previous bridge that was in use was broken in some way. I have since switched the primary router to one that supports WDS, and created a WDS bridge between the two, and now everything is working as expected.
Pi-Hole’s great. Got my primary instance on a Pi 4 and three secondaries (one per vlan) on LXCs. Works so well it feels weird seeing ads when I’m not at home, I’m actually considering using Tailscale to route all my queries through my home connection.
I do this and it works great. Ad block on all my devices regardless of proprietary sandboxes. I also use Syncthing over my tailnet IP addresses so that traffic never leaves my “grounds”. I’m slowly building out a whole suite of services I host only within my tailnet, jellyfin, calibre, invidious, it been a great learning experience. I’m about to set up a proper home lab, finally moving everything off an old laptop.
