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.

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

Mostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don't need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.

It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.

As fas as I know, Y.A. isn't about dystopias but rather a book marketed at young adults in general and oftens contains some kind of coming of age storyline

I'm not the guy you replied to.

I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn't do anything to my files.

I don't know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.

I found it a pain in the ass to remove amazon drm ebooks. What worked for one book suddenly didn't for the next.

Whenever possible I try to avoid them for that reason

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.

Oh I have it disabled. Pretty much among the first things I do with any new windows install is disable and uninstall as much bullshits as microsoft preloads. It gets pretty annoying though how much there is you have to opt out of. I also like complaining about them so you're not too wrong there.

At least they are still better than samsung in that regard who preload facebook on their phones as a system app thereby preventing the user from uninstalling it.

The difference is that these programs are not preinstalled. They are shortcuts to install said program.

Is anyone else having problems with imgur on mobile? The page won't load for me unless I enable desktop mode

I just tried converting that to euro to have a better frame of reference for your 200k. Are those really equivalent to about 8 Euro or did I make a mistake with the conversion?

 

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask for some help regarding my DNS setup and for routing requests to my selfhosted services.

Currently I use Pi-Hole as a DNS server with my routers default DNS server as the upstream server. This allowed me to define local DNS entries using Pi-hole and route my requests to these domains directly to my local services. For example I bought a domain a while ago and in preparation for setting it up, I had it entered as a local DNS entry pointing directly to my servers IP address.

Earlier today I finally got around to setting up a cloudflare tunnel to expose one of my services to the outside world using the domain I bought. Ever since I did that, all requests to that domain seem to exit my home network, go through cloudflares network and then return through the tunnel, even though I have a local DNS entry for that domain name.

What I would prefer is for the request to be routed directly to my server instead, since I am in the same network already. Since my DNS server is the Pi-Hole, I figured this should happen automatically.

Is there an issue with my Pi-Hole setup? If there is any information missing I'll be happy to provide it. I wasn't sure what information I could safely post here.

Solution

I think I managed to fix the problem. After enabling the option Never forward reverse lookups for private IP ranges in Pi-Hole and clearing my DNS cache again, nslookup only returns local IP addresses instead of the IPv6 address of two cloudflare servers.
