For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

Dead Kennedy’s

I owned this tape 😁

Same for the mouse. My ratio is ridiculous as I just leave everything seeding. I also use a VPN that allows port forwarding even though its not a big deal in my country I still do it anyway.

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Exactly the same here too. As a teenager we also all pitched in on a CD burner when they first came out and kept it at the BBS’s owners place, I just remember a single CD took forever back then when it was 1x and 2x recording speed. That allowed us to share a ton more without everyone having to get together on the LAN.

The attack vectors I’m thinking of just come from the inherent complexity and centralization. I’m just considering the amount of damage that can be done with a compromised DA account for example vs a non directory environment.

It’s complicated. Done right it can be more secure, not done right it’s less secure.

I also only get brought in for problems for the last however many years, so I’m probaby a bit biased at this point haha.

I have had to tell companies they are going to have to rebuild thier AD from scratch because they didn’t know what thier DSRM password was (usually after a ransomware attack). These are the sort of hassles I think about vs non AD.

You could look at freeIPA or something similar to stay on Linux.

I’m an AD specialist, starting when it came out with server 2000, and can tell you it’s a waste of time for a home network unless you are doing this just because you want to learn it.

It will definitly not make your life any easier, and will increase attack vectors, especially if you don’t know how to secure and protect it.

Don’t count out the power supply, it can cause that issue as well.

Correct because the connection to usenet these days is with SSL, so the ISP is in the dark of what is being transferred.

If you’d rather your ISP not know where you are connecting you can get SABnzbd dockers with VPN built in that will killswitch if the VPN drops.

I do the VPN anyway because that’s how I set it up years back, and I just like the layer of privacy.

Thunderbird is a Mozilla project tho?

Shipbreaker and Valhiem, both I’ve played before on PC but loving playing from bed lol. I’m also downloading Witcher 3 right now as I was never able to get into it on PC and figured I’d try giving it a go here. Considering trying no man’s sky as well as seeing it pop up a lot, another one I bought years ago and couldn’t get into on PC.

I’ve also done the same, it’s been great.

Maybe check out spaceinvaderone’s videos on YouTube, they are the 101 Bible of getting started with Unraid.

One of the first things you’ll want to do is get the community apps plugin installed.

The usb OS drive for Unraid is to load the OS to RAM. Using the SSDs for an OS vs cache drives seems like a waste to me.

I’ve used a whole range of NAS platforms and devices over the years and nothing compares to Unraid for a solid all in one solution for a homelab.
