Where to put reverse proxy?

I currently have my reverse proxy on my NAS. That means I forward all of my 443 HTTPS traffic to my NAS. I am using OpnSense for my router, and there are several options for reverse proxies on that. Everything works the way it is now, but I do wonder if it would be "better" if I moved all of the reverse proxy stuff to my router. I don't know that anything would be simpler to manage one way or the other, so I think it comes down to best practices and security. If I move the reverse proxy to my router, I would be able to remove that forwarded port, but is that really any more or less secure?

Proxmox Ubuntu VM has "graphical" console

This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don't think a screenshot would help because everything "LOOKS" fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can't drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I don't see the Ubuntu desktop, just this console. I don't even really need the desktop, but if it's there and I can start it up when I want it, that will be OK, but for now I would like to figure out how to get a regular console for this VM. Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the newb question!

Initial steps with OPNSense

I am going to build a router with OPNSense (in Proxmox, on an HP thin client). I am stuck with setting up the networking (I have the Inel 4-port card). I don't really know how to get started. Right now my device has one LAN cable going into it, and my consumer router is doing everything. I can set up a bridge for the other ports, but what IP address will I use for the LAN? I can't use 192.268.0.1 because that will collide with my consumer router. Do I just take my consumer router offline while I am setting this up?I'd rather not because for sure I will get stuck and will want to look something up online. I guess I could use my phone but not the best when I am trying to see someone setting up something like this.

Silly question, I know, but I just can't think of a clean way to get this going with minimal disruption. In a nutshell, what's a good strategy for setting up and testing the OPNSense while it's not actually doing any routing and then seemlessly drop it in and start working on it?

pfsense: Who needs AES-NI?

I'm thinking about building a box for pfsense. Looking at hardware options and I see a pretty significant difference in price when comparing hardware with and without AES-NI. I don't necessarily think I'll need AES. The way I understand it, AES is for using VPN that is somehow running on the router??? I mean, my wife and I both use VPNs on our work computers so we can reach our work networks, but that isn't using any encryption features on my router, is it?? Or am I not understanding?

How would F1 write a rule to prevent teams from pulling a Perez again?

Question coming from a F1 newbie as of this year (thanks DTS)

Interesting race yesterday. Clever loophole exploitation on RB to put Perez back out to erase the time penalty. Supposedly F1 powers-that-be want to plug that hole so teams can't do it again?

I guess the bigger question is should the loophole be fixed?

So how would such a rule be written? Say "if a car is out of a race under green for more than five minutes, the team must retire the car (which is defined as not permitted to race again in that race)". But that doesn't seem fair to a team in a race where less than ten cars are remaining (does this ever happen?) and it takes a while to get the car fixed.

Anyway, I am curious to see what becomes of this.

Why do these git merges happen

With git/github I really only pull and push. I don't really use any of the other features. Same for the kids on my robotics team. The only thing I have taught them is pull and push. The kids do a pull at the beginning of practice and a push at the end. Yet sometimes I see this in the commit logs. Why are these merges happening? Even I have some merges and I know I didn't do anything differently. Should I be concerned? We are doing all of our git/gihub work in VS code if that matters.

Questions about Lemmy

  1. My profile currently says I have 4 posts (this will be number five) and three comments. That's what is says right under my username on my profile page. But below that, there's an option to view "Overview", "Posts", "Comments" and "Saved". "Overview" shows two of my posts and one comment. "Posts" shows nothing and "Comments" shows nothing. Is there a way for me to see all of my posts/comments?

  2. I made a post in https://lemmy.world/c/google. I asked a question, it was upvoted a few times, some people responded and I responded back. Yet, when I go to https://lemmy.world/c/google, I don't see my post there. No matter what I filter on, it doesn't show up. In fact, if I still didn't have the tab open in my browser where I made the post, I don't think I'd be able to find it.

Anyway, thanks for your time. I am loving Lemmy. I no longer browse reddit at all. Sometime reddit comes up in google search results, and if it wasn't for that, I'd probably never go to reddit any more. So seriously, thanks!

Google Meet... does it not make video calls like all the other apps?

When I try to use Google Meet to call my wife, daughter, mom, whatever, it always wants me to send an email to them to schedule a meeting. They all have gmail accounts, and that's what I am trying to call them with.

Is Meet supposed to be an alternative to Zoom? As far as I know, you can't just call someone on Zoom and their computer/phone rings (like MS Teams).

Does Meet not place on-demand calls (like WhatsApp), or am I doing it wrong?

When a car catches on fire, what's burning?

When Magnussen's car caught on fire today, it made me wonder: what's burning? The fire was coming out of the exhaust, so I can't imagine what was actually burning. And then, what does that mean for the engine? Can it be repaired, or does the whole engine need replacing? There are limits to how many engines a team uses each year, correct? I'm guessing that will play a role in this too. It's not the first car fire this year, so I am also wondering how all of the teams are doing this far into the season with regards to using up all of their allocated spare parts.

I thought I understood sprints

I watched the qualifications highlights and saw what happened with Perez. So, I thought the qualifications were for the start position in the sprint. Obviously not since he started front row. And now that the sprint is over, and I see the lineup for the race, perez is starting 15th. I thought the sprint was used to determine the start positions for the race. How were the start positions determined for the sprint? What is the purpose of the sprint if it doesn't determine the start positions for the race?

Browsing Local vs Subscribed

Why would I want to browse Lemmy "Local" instead of subscribed? It seems that "Local" can serve up just about anything, including things that have nothing to do with the types of communities that I have subscribed to. If I understand correctly, "Local" shows any post to any community on Lemmy.world, which could be just about anything. So, maybe I am missing the point because I don't really see why anyone would want that.
