Ooo, interesting.
I am going for public access here, so it wont work. But i think this is how some routers are set up. Like i think asusrouter.net is set to 192.168.0.1, so anyone with the router can go to the same url / domain and itll send them each to their own router. Found that out the other week and thought it very clever.
So i had done this (with Adguard rather than pihole) and i think i was getting caching issues. Whether or not i was, though, i removed it and it looks like my router is handling it all just fine without the rewrite on the local DNS server.
Some folks mentioned “hairpin NAT” - i was reading the wiki on NAT last night but didnt get to hairpin, but that appears to be what is happening.
The conclusion is - my setup had been doing what i want the whole time without any DNS fiddling. I updated the original post with the speedtests.
I guess I should say that I think there were caching issues, but the problem was coming from an iphone and the Bitwarden app (connecting to the self-hosted vaultwarden).
i think this is what I was doing with Adguard and using the re-write rules, but then the client (my phone, for example) would cache the IP address and it would fail when I was out of the house/network.
Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying here?
ok, well that’s easy to set up if that is how it just works! i wonder if maybe i should (at least temporarily) self-host some sort of speedtest app on the server and check the speed from my phone while i’m on wifi using the IP, wifi using domain name, and off wifi using domain…
it is indeed infrequent, but the modern world has trained me to expect convenience and instant-ness. Last time i wanted a 12-year-old email I was in the car with friends and and to pull it up. it wasn’t anything important at all, to be clear, but i’m hoping to search my 12-year-old emails with the same convenience as last month’s.
I think that that is right that I fundamentally want an archive, not what a normal mail server provides. Part of my thought on looking at mail servers is that those would integrate directly with whatever other front-end/client that I’d normally use, whereas an archive maybe would not.
And regarding archive-specific stuff, I am seeing some things on a search, but I guess i’m wondering if folks here have any recommendations. When I look at , for example, nothing comes up for email archive, just for email servers. That, plus what I see when searching, makes me think that the archive-specific stuff is either oriented to business or oriented to a CLI (like NotMuch, which was mentioned in the discussion here and does look cool).
This looks like a good backend for sure, but the web frontends look a little lacking and I’m not seeing anything about a mobile frontend (other than if a web one was up, which would be fine). Have you tried any of the web frontends?
Playing games was fine - it was loading things up that has sucked. I haven’t gotten dota up on the SSD yet, but on the HDD it was real clunky and would half-load the landing page and sit there for ~10 seconds.
The biggest difference, though, is that firefox now opens immediately instead of taking ~10 seconds after clicking the icon
I appreciate the ability for the tor-like layered routing with tribler. Getting the headless UI set up is annoying, though.
