  • I have to admit, I’m a bit confused.

    I have dns records already in my domain provider pointing to a tailscale ip

    I want to know what I have to do to get minecraft.example.com to resolve interenally.

    Since your domain resolves to an internal private Tailscale IP and your question is how to access using the domain, locally…. I feel like there’s an error in your architecture here. Wouldn’t any device that is on your Tailscale private network already have access using the domain name? If by “resolve internally” you mean hosts on your LAN, not connected to Tailscale scale? How would that be possible if it resolves to a Tailscale IP. If you have control of your DNS on your LAN, you could simply add an override and point it to the LAN address of the Minecraft server.








  • I gave up on Nvidia is they never keep their drivers up to date with the latest kernel.

    I honestly have no idea what you mean. I’ve been using NVIDIA cards on Linux for well over a decade. Recently the last 5 years on bleeding edge everything to get the latest benefits to gaming and the desktop. I’ve rarely run into issues with the driver. Lack of features, sure. Installing the driver, no. One of my systems has been updating year after year without a problem. Did you not use dkms? If you use dkms, it just rebuilds the driver everytime a new kernel is installed. You don’t have to do anything.


  • When the initial rush of new Linux users arrived, experienced users had been trying to explain the same point for years: there are options like NixOS or CachyOS that offer unique experiences, optimizations, custom software or unique workflows, while other distros simply rebrand. But ultimately, most of them rely on the same underlying software, regardless of the distro. Having to explain this over and over in post after post became maddening. “What is the fastest distro” Posts on daily. With enough elbow grease my ancient Debian system can be willed into the latest NVIDIA drivers or other various bleeding edge packages. With a bit of suffering, I can compile a bunch of stuff months if not years before it shows up in the standard Debian repo. Point being, it’s all Linux.

    As for updates being “boring”—there’s nothing wrong with a simple update. What massive advancements do people expect these “mostly” volunteers to deliver with every update?




  • Perhaps an error message, troubleshooting steps or really any kind of detail beyond “no internet connection” or “Ethernet doesn’t work” would at the very least provide some kind of troubleshooting starting point. Right now, there’s absolutely nothing to work from.

    So something like…

    • iwctl doesnt show any devices
    • The output of sudo systemctl status iwd
    • iwctl finds my WiFi device and I set it up to connect to my network, but I have no internet
    • my install can’t find my Ethernet/wifi hardware.
    • I installed network manager and used it to setup my Ethernet port, but it’s not working
    • the output of lspci
    • the output of ip addr

    Basically anything at all.



  • Discord has forums built in. I know everyone hates it when I mention it, but there is continuity on Discord and has been for several years now.

    That’s because it’s not exactly a great point. Look, we’re all glad they caught up to 1980’s bbs tech, but it’s behind a login screen. YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ACCESS IT.

    Discord had always been a square peg beaten with a hammer to fit in a round hole. Eventually gaining basic features for the things it was never meant to be used for. Forcing people to sell themselves out just to read some documentation on an open source project.

    I couldn’t agree more. I had a foot in both the MacOS and Microsoft Windows worlds at the time and can appreciate what a game changer notepad++ became. Having used BBEdit on the Mac since around the mid 90s, it was kinda more like “it’s about time” a decade later when notepad++ was released. I’m not necessarily comparing them feature to feature, but it was a much needed piece of software for Windows. I still have memories of opening up text files and being like … damn someone f’d this txt file up on a windows machine… again.



  • I’d use clonezilla

    E: It’s not that it can’t be done other ways, it’s just clonezilla will work and has worked for nearly 2 decades. Also there’s no information provided above about the data. So clonezilla is nice if it’s a complicated scenario.

    Plus, it’s a nice tool to throw in the toolbox once you know how to use it.

    E. Why do you feel like you have to use something like dd for this particular task? Less than 16 GB of data? Ya probably could have copied it over manually by now.

    UPDATE:
    I was able to create my own variant under DYI. I took a look at the ai-c3 ( Core1262-868M ) and DIY v1_1 (esp32doit-devkit-v1) variant and combined them into a working configuration.

    I’m going to call this new variant of the firmware, “aspec”. Simply because when I first found out about this project, I assumed the SX1262 Core1262-868M and wroom-32 would just work out of the box with one of the million firmware variants available. “Amazon Special” ( aspec )

    I also have a GPS that I’d like to add, so I’m going to keep playing around before I submit anything to the metastatic firmware repo.
