One day, our internet just stopped working entirely. Our ISP was fine, router good, but no outside connection and I couldn’t access local devices. I have two Unraid servers. I took a quick glance at them, they were powered on, all looked ok. I decide to power cycle everything. Still no internet. Then I realize that I can still access Google from my phone when on WiFi.. hmm. That would mean… an issue with pi-hole!

I begin to try to diagnose from my phone with a hotspot to my computer. I’m getting warmer but some things just aren’t making sense. I go back and stare at the server running pi-hole. Then it fucking hits me.

I have the pretty odd and totally not ideal home network. I have plans to upgrade everything but currently I have two wifi networks tied to the same WAN. One network is run off of access points so I can get Ethernet to odd areas of the property. The Unraid server hosting pi-hole was connected to an AP and the Ethernet cable I used didn’t have a clip, so it just barely unseated itself from it, breaking the connection. The router+pi-hole config meant also breaking the internet if anything happened to pi-hole or that server. I swapped it for a better cable and it all instantly started working.

Spent that weekend sorting out the network so it doesn’t happen again. It was definitely a head-scratcher.

Haven’t thought of that tbh. Would they both just share configuration? Curious how leasing would be split/shared between them. Off to research!

Oh sweet this is super helpful! Doesn’t seem too complicated. Thanks!

Makes sense.

“Cotton got so mad he started talking about himself in the third person.

“Mr. Cotton says the chairman needs to rethink his decision,” said Cotton, as his name came up in the roll call. “That’s what Mr. Cotton says.””

Lmao imagine getting you mad about the same tactics you supported, that you refer to yourself in the 3rd person.

Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.

Great post! Here’s a couple related quotes.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Theodore Roosevelt

Or

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

Albert Einstein

Not many other ways to make 1.1 million people really angry, on top of all else. Not everyone there is a terrorist, but they all have to pay the price for the actions of those whose are.

Donations do not obligate anyone to do anything. It’s a donation, not pay. They should be done out of appreciation for someone’s time and effort, or to help support any potential work the project decides to do. But never with the expectation that you’re owed something back for donating.

Damn. Going from 8 days to almost 8 months must be pretty shitty news for the astronauts. I get that it’s all defined as a test and these things can happen, but it’s not a good look for Boeing at all.

The real dystopian nightmare is the one where everyone conforms and acts neutral out of fear. That’s how we really lose who we are and any sense of improving the situation.

This is absolutely terrible and definitely feels like an invasion of, idk, being a human?! But with that said, even though people find out stuff like this happens to drivers and workers, they still enable it by ordering from Amazon because of convenience.

Until we can pull away on our reliance on these services, the companies are just gonna keep crossing more and more lines because they know they’re getting away with it with their customers.

Gonna start using “vegetate” now whenever I want express desire for total nothingness.

Holy shit…

Eggs would be more akin to a fetus than raw chicken.

Maybe setup a food truck across the street making breakfast sandwiches and see how many of those protestors buy. Then donate all the profits to the clinic.

I honestly don’t see what’s ironic about it. It’s obviously a non-profit, which usually operate with volunteers and interns. At least they’re being honest about the internship being unpaid in the title rather than leading people on.

Not defending Israel here in the least bit, but wouldn’t 18 year old soldiers still count as “teenage”? Just weird that they would use “teenage victims” instead of “young soldiers” or something.

The word or string "ass" may be replaced by "butt", resulting in "clbuttic" for "classic", "buttignment" for "assignment", and "buttbuttinate" for "assassinate".

Hehe… buttbuttinate
