  • ok, if you’re fine with doing a little more troubleshooting, I have a few more things to try.

    You said before that the systems are able to communicate with each other on the LAN network, just not connect out via WAN. Does this include the pfsense box? That is to say are you able to ping 10.10.10.1 (assuming that’s the IP of the Infra interface on pfsense) from one of you Ubuntu VM’s when it is on the Infra network? Also what is the output of both commands ip -br a and ip route? What I’m am curious about here is maybe the default gateway is not being correctly set when new devices connect to the pfsense. If this ends up being the case, it might be an issue with DHCP (or if you aren’t using DHCP then just the configuration on each Ubuntu VM). I suspect that Windows may be doing some fancy things to figure out on its own some network settings without them being explicitly set.


  • ok, so to recap just to make sure I have your setup correctly: You Have a Proxmox node with 3 VMs on it: Pfsense, an Ubuntu VM, and another Ubuntu VM. The Proxmox Node has a WAN network (likely a Linux Bridge type interface called vmbr0 or something similar), and a LAN network (another bridge, but with no associated physical interface on the Proxmox host). The last step can differ depending on how exactly you set it up, but the basic idea of having two “networks” is the same. EDIT: You will have two LAN networks as per your original post Your pfsense VM has three Network Devices under the hardware tab, one connected to your WAN network, and the other two connected to your LAN networks.

    In Pfsense, you have the appropriate interfaces configured and firewall rules allowing devices on the LAN interface to connect out of the WAN interface (this step in particular has a lot of moving parts)

    On each of your Ubuntu VMs, there is just a single Network Device under their hardware tabs, connected to the LAN network. (although right now you say they are connected to the WAN network so you can connect to them from other computers on your home network). Once this is set up correctly, move them back to the LAN network, and maybe set up a rule that allows connections from a single device on your home network. If allowing any device on your home network to connect to your homelab is what you want, then it doesn’t make too much sense having a firewall if you aren’t going to use it ;).

    Does this match with your current setup?


  • Its hard to determine exactly where the issue is coming from, so some more information about the setup would be helpful.

    1. Is pfsense on a physical machine with 3 physical network interfaces, or is it virtualized?
    2. If you bring down the network interface on the linux box after you do the trick to make the internet work, then bring it back up (as opposed to fully restarting the machine), does the same issue still happen?
    3. You mention that you have windows and linux connected to the WAN interface? That doesn’t sound right. In a typical set up, you would have WAN connected to your modem, and LAN connected to your devices. You might want to double check your firewall rules and routing table in pfsense to make sure everything is configured correctly.

    In my experience, networking is very prone to small configuration errors, and setting up a homelab is going to force you to learn some great networking skills one way or another :)






  • I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to have something called “video podcast” in the scenario where you have an actual podcast, which also happens to have a video recording available on the internet as well. Sometimes I like to watch the video versions of podcasts to see the facial expressions of the speakers. “video podcast” seems like a natural shortening of “video of a podcast”. I think the important part is that the content is first and foremost a podcast, where it is meant to be listened to. As soon as it stops being possible to listen to the podcast as audio only, for example if they start relying on visuals that can only be seen in the video, then it is no longer a podcast.




  • I’m actually fairly young and wasn’t around in the 80s. I graduated college with a CS degree in the past 5 years, where I was exposed to many different tools and software. What did I come out of that experience with? I like the terminal more than any IDE I had to use in any class.

    Now in the real world, we don’t always get to use our favorite tools for every task, obviously. I do need to use other, more enterprise, software from time to time for work. But whenever possible I go to the terminal because I’m faster there, and I can quickly automate things.

    I’m not saying the terminal is the best tool for every job, I’m just saying it is the best for ME. Notice I’m also not putting down other tools here. It seems to me like you might be the one with a superiority complex.



  • You seem to believe that people only use the terminal if they HAVE to. I doubt anybody these days HAS to type any amount of code in the terminal, but choose to anyway. Like probably anyone else I have access to modern tools and infrastructure, but I choose to do work in the terminal because I’m more productive there. I use (neo)vim because I like it more than any other text editor I’ve used, and have no problem writing code and debugging in the terminal.


  • yeah I had the same thought when I read this post. I like hyprland, and will continue to use it because I like it more than all other WMs i’ve tried, but with every new post by Vaxry I cringe more and more. I was hoping to learn about some honest criticisms of Cosmic, because like many others it is something I am excited about and would like to keep up to date with its progress, however the post reads like a child doing nothing but complaining and making strawman arguments. I mean seriously, nobody is saying Cosmic is the “coming of christ” or whatever, so there is no reason to spend so many words explaining how it’s a problem.


  • This seems like a good official message to have, and personally I think they are making the right call. As someone in my early 20s, I can say that at least in the area I grew up (pacific north west of USA) “gimp” as a derogatory term is not widely used or known among my peers. In fact it didn’t even occur to me that I knew a second usage for the word until I read a comment on reddit a few years ago. My response then was “Oh yeah I guess I’ve heard that word used in that way before, maybe in a movie?”, and to be honest I feel the same way now. I believe “gimp is on its way out as a term to put down others, and I’m much more familiar with the term GIMP in reference to the useful program that this post is about.
