As much as I support the notion. Some people, I'm thinking especially about international buyers and sellers, aren't going to be able to do this. PayPal has too much of a monopoly on that front.

Global South cities lack cooling green spaces in c/climate@slrpnk.net
[–] cakeofhonor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I hate this. I remember when I was a kid (almost two decades ago), there used to be giant trees all over the city. Now, when you look out the window, it's just an endless sea of grey.

Plant-based meat needs government support to scale up, but a culture war stands in the way in c/climate@slrpnk.net

I honestly don't get the point of this. Plant foods taste great, I don't need them to be further processed to taste like meat.

Emacs Face Line Spacing / Margin / Height (lemmy.world)
 

I've been theming emacs, trying to get it to look just right, but the lack of a per face line spacing is making it kind of difficult. I've tried to use :box as a hack to add invisible spacing, but that started to look weird when the region is highlighted. Does anyone know why there doesn't seem to be much interest or discussion on this topic? I'd love to be able to just add a top or bottom margin to headings like in css.

Help with IPv6 in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] cakeofhonor@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'll try this when I get a chance. Off the top of my head, why did you set the prefix to 0x1? I was under the impression that it only needs to be set if there are multiple vlans and what are your rules for the WAN side of the firewall? My LAN interface is only getting an LLA so maybe it's being blocked from communicating with the ISP router.

I did forget to mention that. The IP addresses of the devices on the LAN do not share the same first half of the address as the IP on the ISP router. I have the OPNsense LAN set to track WAN interface, but the DHCP server is stuck saying "No available address range for configured interface subnet size.". I also noticed that my WAN for OPNsense has a global routable IP starting with 2402 as well as a LLA starting with fe80 but my LAN only has a LLA.

Which routes and firewall rules should I be checking?

Help with IPv6 (lemmy.world)
 

My ISP recently made IPv6 available and I'm trying to figure out how to make it work with my network. The setup I have is an OPNsense box connected to my ISP's router and I'm using it to isolate my homelab from the rest of the network. However, the machines on my OPNsense LAN aren't being assigned IPv6 addresses that allow them to connect to the internet.

I can ping IPv6 sites from my OPNsense box and I see that it's being assigned a /64 prefix from the ISP router. If I use my laptop to connect to my ISP's router, I can visit IPv6 sites just fine as well. My devices in the OPNsense LAN also have IPv6 addresses and can ping each other using IPv6 but not the internet.

Are there special settings that I need to set for OPNsense to make this setup work? I've tried reading up on the different modes like SLAAC but I'm not quite grasping the concepts.

Best way to have file sync on a local network? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] cakeofhonor@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I ultimately did go with Syncthing and uploading my files encrypted to Google Drive for backup. It's been working great for months. I've also been using Zeroteir to make this work with my laptop too while on the go.

what is the alternative to youtube? in c/general@lemmy.world
[–] cakeofhonor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lots of good suggestions already, but if you have to stick to YouTube, you could always use a third party client. FreeTube for desktop and Newpipe for Android. They function great. You don't need an account and can organize and export your history and subscriptions, it's a much better way to interact with YouTube than the official methods. Newpip even allows for background playing.

Thanks, I'll look more into it.

Best way to have file sync on a local network? (lemmy.world)
 

So I have a NUC with Proxmox as the primary OS and OPNsense in a VM for my home network. I've been trying to move away from Google services but would still like to use them as a back up solution. Would it make sense to use Nextcloud in a VM as a replacement and use Rclone to encrypt and backup my files to Google Drive? Or should I use a NAS OS like Open Media Vault instead?

I'll also mention that I have an empty SSD that I can passthrough and that my primary draw to Nextcloud is that they have a Windows desktop syncing app like Google Drive does which makes things familiar and convenient. I don't plan on having my Nextcloud instance exposed to the web but might setup a Wireguard tunnel into the local network in the future.
