Anomaly
i should be here more frequently
Anomaly
like instead of being absent for a long time
RN
welcome back
Anomaly
thanks
RN
sometimes absence is needed for work, or self-care
RN
look! we are on at the same time, not reading each other in scrolback!
RN
so, how you doin'?
itsjustme
hello :)
RN
hey hey hey!
RN
los tres amigos
itsjustme
I'm doing well :)
itsjustme
you ?
itsjustme
hey Anomaly :)
RN
doing well IJM
RN
:)
itsjustme
good :)
RN
having fun breaking and fixing my new toy
RN
I accidentally the wholed dns
Anomaly
interesting
Anomaly
well its not work or self care related, its because my vm is saved on an external hard drive, and whenever i put my computer to sleep, the vm gets all fucked up and the vm crashes
Anomaly
so whenever i go back on my computer my vm is crashed and i just get really lazy having to turn on the vm and fucking, starting i2p and signing in and joining channels
Anomaly
i dunno
Anomaly
so what i did now is im on a seperate linux laptop now just for i2p and irc
Anomaly
and this seperate laptop im on is quite, it doesnt keep me awake or anything
Anomaly
hi itsjustme
Anomaly
i wonder if i should get a kvm switch
Anomaly
i dunno
itsjustme
you did what to the DNS?
RN
you should get one
RN
I broke it
itsjustme
wow, looks like Anomaly was lagging :P
RN
all I wanted was caching, and serving it for my LAN
RN
I remember the days when that kind of lag was common
RN
here in IRC2p
RN
That might have even been when we had three leaves on the ircd and two bots to the outernet irc's on a couple select channels
RN
but back to dns
RN
so I accidentally turned on local-bind thingy without configurationsess
RN
everything broke for a minute
itsjustme
oh lol
RN
first I was just defining my chosen 3 dns servers
RN
then reboot overwrote the nice configs
RN
then was finding out how and where to set overrides when
RN
oops! turned on some uninitialized varibales and boom
RN
by uninitialzed variables, I mean local-unbound
RN
but it was not obvious how to switch back after turning off lo-ubd
RN
cuz, it changed stuff
RN
LOL
RN
all good now
RN
and have 3 fast dns of my selection active now
RN
so
RN
I got there
RN
why is it a wall of text just from me?
RN
LOL
itsjustme
:P
RN
We will haz precious cachings!
itsjustme
I don't really have issues with DNS generally
RN
well my isp does
itsjustme
except for dark net stuff
RN
so I like to use others sometimes
RN
and for dark net suffs precious.
itsjustme
I thought most web browsers default to a TLS DNS now
RN
so I may have a working connection to isp, but their dns is taking a shit. so my interwebs seem broken.
RN
in windows I can set a dozen dns serverses
RN
but bsd currently defaults to allowing only 3
RN
which is still fine as long as they are good and my isp is not included
itsjustme
oof
itsjustme
how about using the router dns and setting them in there?
RN
and the changes I made to the dns servers were getting reset at boot to dhcp
RN
so it would get isp dns
RN
router also likes to reset to isp
RN
got to look more into that
RN
but
RN
I was locally caching years ago and it was noticable
RN
and
RN
if I do it right, this box will be the edge box and come between my isp and my switches|routers|wifises
RN
so having IT handle dns really well is an important goal
RN
there's room for 4 NIC cards
itsjustme
oh wow
RN
so, yeah, downlink ━━▶ IOT-wifi|wired-connections|guest|phun-wifi|other
itsjustme
pfsense?
RN
probably, but I remember something else from days of old... monowall?
RN
whichever, not there yet
RN
got to do the DNS part right step by step first
itsjustme
true
itsjustme
why not using google dns or 1.1.1.1?
RN
I thought adding dns caching would be a quick project, quicker than deplying a znc
RN
google wants to profile my data to sell it. They are an advertising buisness.
RN
1.1.1.1 is one I considered but benchmark suggested other faster ones
RN
also trying to avoid ones who sell datas.
RN
no free meta from me if I can help it
RN
and also wanted un-filtered
RN
the ones I chose would be too exposing to discuss, but let's just say I ran benchmarks and considered policies
RN
there was a time I was running a caching dns on a windows xp machine
RN
i think it was called treewalk
RN
also tried acetone (on windows) recently but wasn't working or not cofigured correctly couldn't tell
RN
I've also been thinking about those nic that come with an onboard atomic clock
itsjustme
Would you need that?
itsjustme
What would that help?
RN
my I2P router clock skew would be negative zero
RN
they just looked neat in a youtuber video
RN
but I do want to run caching dns and ntp service for my lan
itsjustme
I mean I could understand for devices that require syncing
itsjustme
Yes that makes sense
RN
yeah the performance difference if all devices in my lair were synced to the same atomic clock are really not cost justifiable
RN
s/atomic/local atomic/
itsjustme
Yeah
RN
I mean, it is like wishing to have Parabola's computing resources at hand just because.
itsjustme
Lol
itsjustme
"Just send me everything "
RN
ikr?
RN
so I'm wondering if it might just be easier to install a port that does caching dns as opposed to using the built in bind properly to do it
RN
I presume the answe will be yes
RN
but that may just be my impatience talking
RN
named got replaced with bind I guess
RN
I had named figured out, but I've forgotten that anyway so might as well jump on the band wagon
RN
I believe it is usually easier to configure a one trick pony than it is to configure what used to be separate things that have now been absorbed into the mega-code
