    I have a domain registered that I use, just didn’t feel the need to mention it exactly. Hence why I anonymized my results. I did not change anything that would alter the troubleshooting steps, only the domain name and ip addresses are generic but otherwise consistent.

    The domain and records are set up correctly on the provider end because I receive valid let’s encrypt certs for my subdomains through caddy. The issue is only with Fedora. I checked a live of ubuntu and fedora iso on a second computer. Fedora consistently cannot resolve the domains on the default configuration while ubuntu and anything else I tried can.

    I just tried adding the local IP:Port and the app.domain.example to the /etc/hosts file as the examples show. Restarted systemd-resolved but no dice. Ideally, I’d like to make this family friendly and avoid having to make client specific configurations anyway. So far only I run fedora at home, so my device has this issue only. I am partial to the OS otherwise, so I was hoping I could solve this.

    EDIT Sorry about that it dawned on my what you asked for really. From the resolvedctl results DNS Domain: domain.local would be mydomainname.local. Yes I kept .local in the search domain fields for most of my things. Is this something that matters, or could this be a workaround if I changed it to my actual mydomainname.tld? As far as I undertand this would work if mDNS was on. Not sure if LLMNR makes use of it the same way.






  • Thanks for the feedback! I am doing the opposite right now funnily enough. Trying to move away from having everything on Truenas as an app because of the host-app communication limitations. I have a bridge network set up but it still has its issues.

    I’ll need to get some hardware to make this happen. At least to have a PCIe SATA controller I can pass through to a TrueNas VM so I can have everything on one physical host.

    Nextcloud is on the list to try. For now syncthing was fixed up for filesync from my shoddy implementation of it yeras ago.



  • I used a lenovo x380 yoga with Fedora. I seldom used it in tablet form, but the keyboard appeared when swiping up from the bottom in GNOME. I did not like it as well as the windows one. I tried KDE as well, I had a better experience there as there are more config options for it. As for drivers and sensors like for the hinge positions, wacom touch stuff all just worked.


  • I was a “hyperactive” kid, I am not sure if I even have ADHD. It sure feels like I do or at least did have more severe symptoms when I was a kid. I kind of turned out ok. I can live a healthy, full life, married. My parents barely have any idea of how and why I was a negligent, immature kid who couldn’t get better grades or make friends despite doing everything in my power.

    Looking back, the support I would have needed is just patience, understanding, reassurance and acceptance. If there are proven methots that work with learning difficulties, then that! To this day learning more than surface level information is pure pain. Teach him how to learn in my opinion.

    On the other hand, I am great at seeing the “big picture” and can derive information off of it to solve most of my problems on the go. It’s not a lost cause, it’s just different. Having to fit in society’s narrow minded “just because I said so” standards is what made me feel and act worse when I think of it.



  • I had the same dilemma. It comes down to this in my opinion:

    • Do you trust yourself and your current networking gear, software, security setup enough to host this yourself at home?
    • Do you trust your vps providers tech stack, ethics, privacy policy etc. AND your own ability to secure it to host it on a vps?
    • Do you trust Tailscale the company who’s in the business of “zero trust vpn” solutions to use their product?

    I didn’t check if they were audited and if so how, but I went with the free Tailscale option, the most comfortable option for me now. Might change once I get more competent at the subject.


  • Since they are old, i would imagine the power efficiency isn’t the best on them for a 24/7 HA cluster at home. Unless you have an abundance of solar power or something. So I would use them as a test branch for whatever I want to do for self-hosting and learning

    I would use them as learning platform for myself. Play with Active Directory DCs, replicataion, failover, recovery, networking etc. Just because more practice in that is what would be needed for advancement at work.

    Others mentioned Kubernetes and Proxmox clustering. I could also use some sacrificial storage and compute to play around with those technologies so I could improve my self-hosted services.
