I see a lot of guides on setting up DoH (DNS over HTTPS) using things like `cloudflared`, but not many concrete ones on DoT (DNS over TLS). Does anyone have any guides they'd recommend?

VPN Client Kill Switch

I am getting used to Ubiquiti, and recently added a VPN Client to cover one of my VLANs. Am I correct in my understanding that having no `Fallback` option is essentiall a Kill switch that will not allow traffic to pass outside of the VPN in the event it goes down?

Firewall rule check

I recently started playing with UDM after having been in PFSense for the last few years. In PFSense, I had a pretty organized rule set for each VLAN, and it was pretty easy to read and follow compared to the single list for rules in UDM (though it makes up for it in other areas). I'm trying to recreate some of my original rules and flows, but wanted to get another pair of eyes on them to be sure I am using `"LAN In"` and `"LAN Out"` correctly (especially on the rules where I try to only allow necessary devices/ ports out to WAN).

Setting UDM Pro to a non-default network

Just joined the club and got my first piece of ubiquiti gear! I spent some time doing the initial configuration and adding my VLANs, static IPs, however I ran into a bit of an issue that I'm sure is a quick fix. By default the UDM Pro is on 192.168.1.1, and that's fine. I actually use the 192.168.1.0/24 as a management VLAN for networking devices that other VLANs don't need access to. The problem I'm running into is that this default space that the UDM Pro is on does not have an option for a VLAN tag. I can change the IP of the default network to be something else like 192.168.100.0/24, and make a management VLAN on 192.168.1.0/24, but then the UDM Pro will grab a 192.168.100.0/24 address (since it is on the default network). How, after doing this, can I set the UDM Pro to be on this new management VLAN and not the default?

I've been using PFSense for years, and it's been pretty great, but I also have some friends who are homelabbers that like their Unifi setups. What do you guys prefer, and why?

Voice packs not uploading via Valetudo GUI

I've been running Valetudo on my Roborock S5 for some time with no issues. Recently I decided to change the voice pack, so I used the option in the Valetudo GUI, however noticed that most of the packs advertised for the S5 just do not upload. The ones that do don't seem to have full coverage, and leave a lot of the default voice lines (Chinese) in tact. [These packs](https://builder.dontvacuum.me/pkg/voice/roborock/_S5/) from dontvacuum.me and [this](https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~iswartz/ha/) GlaDOS voice pack do not upload at all, and when I check [the logs in Valetudo](https://imgur.com/bT5OX8a.png) there's just a generic error that provides no real detail. [These](https://therealmoeder.github.io/rockrobo.html) packs will upload, but do not provide full coverage, and most are not English. Does anyone know how to get these logs to work via the GUI? I don't have SSH access to my vacuum anymore and I don't feel like going through the initial steps again if I don't have to.

Alternative to Google Maps for sharing

Some friends of mine have a Google map going where they pin locations of interest (restaurants, etc). I was wondering if anyone knew of a non-Google project that might allow for something similar? The goal would be to have a shareable map that a group of invited/ allowed users could add locations and possibly notes to.

My employer recently switched to Fidelity and for now I've chosen the `LIFEPATH IDX 2050 A` option. It looks like this one provides quarterly dividends, but the yield is 0.0%(?) I'm looking for some fairly risk adverse options or blends that provide dividends that will be reinvested. Anyone have any recommendations?

I am hosting a couple of services (Matrix chat server and a game server). I know NAT's job is to translate external requests into internal addresses, so that the traffic can hit the WAN and ultimately make it to the internal service which is expected to handle the traffic, however I'm wondering if [my setup](https://i.imgur.com/1ZbkvZ5.png) is correct. Everything is working as expected, but I'm just wondering how the traffic knows which service to go to. If an outside requests comes in, is it just the destination port that is used to route to the correct internal IP? Do I need to do something else here for best practices?

Privacy screen protector without the artifacts

I've been wanting to get a privacy screen protector so that you can't see it from the sides, but all the ones I've tried have this 'oily' type of look to it. Maybe this is inherent to the technology, but does anyone know of any that do not have this oily appearance, especially on white screens?

Using solar power station for home office/ lab

My office/ lab at home uses around 600W when fully running, and I see that there are quite a few `power stations` that will comfortably handle that, and foldable 4 panel setups that can generate 300-400W. Would there be any issues plugging a UPS (my lab has a few of them) into a solar power station such as [this](https://us.ecoflow.com/products/delta-pro-portable-power-station?variant=40684178014281)? Is there some sort of feature I want to look for such as sin wave, etc to have this work reliably, or does a UPS not really care since the controller in the power station should be normalizing voltage, etc?

Filen cloud

What are your thoughts on filen? I don't seem to be able to find a community for them here, but it seems like a pretty solid up and coming company for secure cloud storage options.

Why do used electrics drop so quickly in price?

It's been years since I've checked the used electric market, but I'm seeing cars like the Hyundai Ionic 6 or Polestar 2 for low 30s, where as they were in the high 40s or mid 50s new a year ago. My suspicion is that: 1) Normal car depreciation when driven off the lot 2) General fear of batteries wearing down prematurely, even if the car has ~10k miles 3) Any applicable federal rebates or otherwise have already been claimed and can't be claimed on used vehicles(?) Is there any other reason why these drop so quickly? Would buying one be considered foolish in anyway?

First off, I'm guessing this is the most active Proton Technologies community on Lemmy (if there is another, please let me know!) I recently started playing around with Proton Drive, and my biggest complaint is that there is no dedicated Linux client. I've run quite a few Windows application on Linux in the past using Wine/ Lutris/ Bottles, etc. However when trying to run the Proton Drive installer (for Windows), it quits prematurely with a [generic error message](https://i.imgur.com/hBtDwSw.png). I'm guessing there are some config options I need to tweek, or perhaps it knows it's not running in a Windows environment and prevents installation for security reasons. Anyone have any tips or done this successfully?

Finding old car

I had a 2002 Bugeye for a decade and had to let it go when I started college. I was able to find the VIN in some old paperwork, and am wondering what I should do next to try to contact the current owner. I see several sites that cost money that might be candidates, but was wondering if the DMV is a better bet, or if there is sites you guys have used and would recommend

I wanted to start using a budgeting program to better organize my spending/ goals, and basically narrowed it down to 3 --YNAB, Actual and Quicken Simplifi. I setup a self-hosted instance of Actual and was able to import my spending from my account by exporting from my bank and importing into the app, however this seemed like it might get tedious over time, so I decided to try YNAB. So far this has been pretty straight forward. I’m still waiting for things to sync up with my linked accounts, but I like it so far. I would try Simplifi but there’s no trial period there; though the graphs and UI make it seem appealing. Anyone here have any experience with Simplifi/ YNAB, and why might you chose one over the other?

Hello, So I recently revisited (and recreated) my savings spreadsheets so that I can track my `needs`, `wants` and `savings`. To try to keep track of my `fixed costs` and also try to follow the `50/30/20` rule (not sure if this is a good strategy or not). I have everything mostly sorted, but as new things come up, say a new subscription or a cancelled one, changes in rent, etc. It will be a bit of a hassle to keep this up to date. Are there any software/ apps that you guys use that you like that make this kind of thing easier to see where your money is going?

For those of you who know of [PiAlert](https://github.com/leiweibau/Pi.Alert/) or similar projects/forks like [NetAlertX](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX), do you know of any that can run without WAN access? I just got PiAlert running the other day and noticed that it does not update correctly unless it has access to WAN which seems odd, since it's basically just running `arp` commands within internal IP ranges over specified interfaces. **Edit: Looks like I was just able to modify one function to return a hardcoded value to resolve the need to connect to WAN**

So, I finally got this project (PiAlert) working how I'd like. It basically uses `arp` to keep track of devices on your network, and let you know when new ones join. It gives some basic stats like uptime, etc and you can configure a few different notification options to be alerted when a rogue device connects. Anyways, to get this work on my network involved setting up several network interfaces, as I have quite a few VLANs I'd like to keep an eye on. While everything seems to be working, I feel like I may have created an `asymmetric-routing` situation, as now when I SSH to the VM hosting this, it will freeze up after a few seconds. My interfaces look like [such](https://i.imgur.com/d2MvISL.png). The problem is that I am accessing this VM (hosted on `192.168.1.0/24`) from my personal network (`192.168.6.0/24`). My personal network has access to 192.168.1.0/24 and obviously to it's own subnet, so I think packets are getting confused, as there are multiple routes they can take to this VM. I believe this is confirmed, because if I disable the entry for `192.168.6.0/24` in my `/etc/network/interfaces` file, the problem goes away. How should I handle this? I've tried some simple UFW rules to try to force things to only use the `192.168.1.0/24` interface, but to no avail. **Edit: Sorry for the weird markdown, not sure why it's highlighting keywords**
