  • You’ve got two parts here, name resolution and certs. Make sure name resolution works first.

    I don’t know if Porkbun is different, but in namecheap, I created a wildcard record. Let’s say I have the domain example.com, and my server is server.example.com, and it hosts a bunch of docker containers like jellyfin and radarr, at jellyfin.example.com and radarr.example.com. So I created a wildcard A record with name * and value 192.168.1.20. This means when I try any domain under example.com that doesn’t have a more specific record, I get that IP back.

    You can test name resolution from your own PC with dig (Linux) or nslookup (Windows). Be mindful of which server you’re using for lookups when you do this. To check the perspective of a client outside my network, I like https://digwebinterface.com/. And always remember that it takes time for DNS changes to propagate.

    After that I just used acme plugins for Proxmox and traefik to get let’s encrypt certs individually and automatically, but you could also get a wildcard cert for *.example.com by any method, from any provider, and install it yourself.



  • Yeah, I just have an Excel spreadsheet. Item, model, serial, purchase date, purchase value, order number so I can find it in my email if applicable. The only thing I’ve filled a claim for was when my bike got stolen (purchased $500, reimbursed $2400 because apparently they changed to high end bikes) and they didn’t ask for any records.

    I’d also recommend a video walkaround of your house at least once a year.









  • You put one GPU in one PCIe slot and one in another. Just be aware that just because a PCIe slot is full-length, it doesn’t mean it’s a full-speed x16 slot. Check the manual to be sure. Most cards will work with fewer lanes, but not all. And of course it’ll be slower. (Fun fact, you can put a long card in a short slot. Some have open backs to allow this, but if you have an oscillating Dremel tool and a steady hand, you can make your own.)

    But personally, for basic 3D games and work, I’d just use the integrated video (which is on the CPU these days, not the motherboard) and give the discrete card to the VM.







  • Yes, but it’s meant to be difficult to do. Encryption algorithms are designed and chosen to be expensive to crack, so that you’d need NSA-level clusters to find the key in our lifetime.

    I don’t know if you could attack the encryption controller itself to brute-force the PIN to release the key. I assume in theory it’s possible, but unless you’re a very desirable target, they probably won’t spend the effort, and attack something weaker. Like your cell phone, or your kneecaps.
