Level3 Breaks the Internet

Testing VM - Host networking and yeah, I wish I could have network speeds this fast.

My current OC was an adopt so I figured why not try and make one myself? I've been really thinking about protogens and tried to go full out and draw my own. My art skills are obviously lacking, but this is Octamu.

He's just booting up for the first time and trying to make sense of all the tech he's got plugged into him.

I'll probably change his design a bit more but figured I'm impressed how he came out! Usually I hate everything I try to draw.

Was trying to post this earlier but image uploading was broken 😆 anyways, this is my Gentoo hypervisor running my virtual desktop. Not a whole lot that runs on that so it's very easy to see if anything is running out of place.

Had an awesome day today. Also got my hair cut a few days ago.

As an experiment I pointed my DNS servers to my local pihole servers and tracked near 3k queries to snouts.online alone. Thanks to caching I only had to go out to resolve it 3-4 times within 24 hours.

If you're instance seems slow, ensure your /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to a fast resolver.

To check your DNS speed, use the dig command and see how long it takes to resolve a domain.

One is me doing a lookup on my own, the 2nd one is Cloudflare, 3rd is Google

Was trying to have it detect my face and every time it couldn't see it. I was getting visibly upset so I scrunched up my face and it saw me so I took the picture and this happened. 🤣 Honestly, not bad.

Alright, let's hear it :)

Although I'm sure they are aware of it, T-Mobile's Root CA that is preloaded and trusted on every device is due to expire in roughly 2 months.

As a side note, I wish the trusted authorities were... oh I don't know.. Actually authorities I personally trusted?

Like yeah it's a pain in the ass but having a bunch of CA's I've never approved of being able to sign a fake cert that would be automatically trusted just doesn't sit right with me anymore.

How bored do you have to be in order to go through the process of making your own .tld and CA? Cause I'm pretty sure I've just created my own rudimentary Intranet at this point.

Wow a picture where I don't look like crap! I don't usually post pictures of my face but I'll make an exception for this one.

I brought my flipping down to a more reasonable level. I was actually giving myself a headache trying to use the site completely inverted. Now Everyone's profile picture and account header is upside down.

I'm an uptime whore. Having long uptime makes me feel awesome.

Backups run every night a 2 in the morning. This is just the media files and Redis, The database is in another backup. I absolutely swear and live by Borg. I've used it exclusively for my backups for the last two years. Nightly backups on a cron job and then the encrypted backups go up into cloud storage for extra redundancy in case my computer suddenly decides it doesn't want to live anymore 😆

Okay Royal TS, thanks for not providing any cross platform to Linux. So dang tired of applications treating Linux like 3rd class when it runs the damn Internet smh

Happy National Puppy Day from Puppo Space!

Nope, rip my soul. Welp, I know what I'll be doing for the next 2 hours *sigh*

Go home Google Play, your drunk

Still one of my favorite versions of this meme

Gonna probably bite the bullet and get QEMU installed on my secondary host.

It's kind of satisfying to almost completely utilize a server to the point where you actually need another one in order to continue expanding
