  • If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

    My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

    The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

    Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.





  • Precision guesswork here, but I’ve had nginx (not on opnsense) redirecting me to the default host quite a few times recently - all times it was me cocking up its config. It could be that nginx is waiting for the actual target until it times out and then just gives a your opnsense gui as the most reasonable response.

    I’d start checking its config. Or pasting it here, after removing secrets, it any.








  • NFS comes to mind, naturally.

    I remember some years ago scp had a big issue, can’t recall what, though. But that made me have a look at rsync, and I’ve been using that ever since. Flags are a bit atteocious, but I’ve aliases rsync -avz status=progress to copy and it’s been happy days. One other benefit - incremental copy. Helps in cases where a copy procedure had been stopped for whatever reason.
