  • I’m an accountant.

    The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

    When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

    When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.

I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I’m having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I’d like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I’m hoping to decommission my home server so I’d like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I’m looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.

IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.

The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.

The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn’t great and I think I’m more likely to mess something up than to have any success.

The thing is, I’m sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I’m sure there must be an easier way.

  • I don’t think it’s really a big deal ?

    We’re all playing around with things in the same domain. Does it really matter if someone is paid and someone else isn’t?

    I don’t necessarily agree that a paid / qualified person will necessarily be operating at a higher level just generally than a hobbyist. Professionals tend to know lots about very specific things, hobbyists tend to invest a lot more time and effort into building elegant solutions.

    Yes some answers from IT professionals may be unhelpful for hobbyists but that’s just part of interacting with other people.
