Is my dns safe? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] Vampire_Duchess@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

check dnsleaktest website and see which servers are returning, if your dns is google or is your isp dns you will know there.

if you want more privacy replace your dns servers with cloudflare o quad9, if you want more privacy maybe consider upgrade to DNS over TLS (DOT) or HTTPS over DNS (DOH).

You can do this with a dns filtering server like AdguardHome or Pihole. While you block ads and telemetry in your network.

and if you even want to level up consider selfhost your own recursive dns server with unbound + AdguardHome or Pihole.

Is there any use for my old laptop? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

hi, i started another laptop a dell xps with core duo cpu and just 4gb ram. I don't have any spare ssd for that so I used a 500GB black Western Digital.

The battery is removable.

so far is running dietpi (debian) server and running some docker containers, including a metube to download videos/music from YouTube.

cpu performance is awesome. I wish to have a moderm i7 but I'm okay.

but also added navidrome for music streaming and works fantastic. Also added wireguard server via PiVPN and mostly I'll be using this to sharp some linux, docker, ansible, and dev skills.

is not 24 hrs but mostly is a lab. doesn't have kvm or vm instructions so not sure it can handle proxmox but ram is limited.

but has more cpu/86 than my raspberry pi. but consume more power.

thank you for sharing,

although I don't have my Promox server (dell thin client i5) died a month a go. I would do VM or LXC container. My local VPS is just an old laptop core duo 2 and raspberry pi 2 and doing the snapshots would be easier but I'm stuck at the moment with those options.

thank you for sharing your workflow although may be a bit advance for me I see where is going. I work with sysadmin areas, but I'm really interested into devops and cloud engineering for AWS. But someone invite me to join a dev team for a js, React and postgress DB project.

So I'm starting to learn Js. So I wanted to have some insights in how to approach this. thank you

Optimizing My Development Workflow: Self-Hosting VS Code and Docker (alien.top)
 

I'm starting to work with JavaScript, and I plan to explore frameworks. While I currently use Visual Studio Code on my Mac, Windows, and Linux laptops, I'm considering the idea of self-hosting a Visual Studio Code server on my own VPS.(debian server).

I've also discovered the utility of Docker containers for my projects, allowing me to set up environments with the necessary tools like Node.js. This way, I can easily manage my development environment.

So, I'm curious, what's your setup like? I'm trying to avoid the hassle of switching between three different computers or clients. I believe that if I can access my VPS and start working on my code, it would greatly streamline my development process.
