Please wait...
Good to have you here.
Darn, you beat me to it.
Fri Oct 31 2025 20:36:57 UTC from ZoeGraystoneHappy Samhain everyone. See you on the other side of darkness.
I posted what happened somewhere. I gave up. 2016 and after beat me down, and I just quit. I'm trying again. I don't know if I would host again. Maybe I'd bring it back as a hosted site? I could wrap it all up as a VM and send it somewhere. I am missing having my own place to call home and I have a proxmox copy ready to roll somewhere. I dunno. Cit depression? Could that be a thing? ;)
Even hosting somewhere else, while safer, is still a hassle with all the constant attacks upkeep, bla bla.
And as we all know. building a user base from the ground up in this day and age is hard. its not 1984 anymore.

Oh, and ya, PVE is a wonderful thing. Be it for hobby or production.
Back when i did consulting was using free xenserver at clients. ( and of course Linux vms to do 'the stuff' ). But they started stripping out base features and moving them to pay, so you were basically stuck on an old ( and of course in time, insecure ) version. Moved to an open project designed to keep it alive, but they were struggling. ( i hear it got better later, but too late )
Not wanting to risk my clients, I searched around, was about to just do it myself via native KVM and just lose the pretty ( but useful ) GUI, but happened across PVE by accident, as it wasn't a big name that long ago. Instantly swapped it and I never looked back. PVE had some wonderful features even back then, and its only grown from there. I still need to look at their 'high level management' server that will manage disconnected clusters.. I think its in beta now, out of alpha.
Now a days i have no clients as i just didn't have the time to do both them and 'my job' and it wasn't fair to them, but still use it at home exclusively. Tho that may change.. when i leave where im at this spring and depending on what i end up doing and the time involved, i might start up doing some on the side stuff officially again and not just help out friends and small business people that i do business with when i see them struggling ( my help is free, but if they need hardware, the gotta buy that.. i can only be philanthropic to a point, i'm not rich ).. donno yet. Not that far along in planning. ( oh and no, i wont charge friends :) )

I thought that, when it comes to IThobby and production are the same.

Not that it means a damned thing, but i tried it on TOR this
morning just to see... Wondering if it might be regional. But
it worked.
Surprisingly the out-port was in a Russian province. I was NOT
expecting that at all. Figured that would be a dangerous thing
to do there. Using, sure, i can see that happening a lot, but
not being an out-port.

No dice. I am using the Tor Browser and search.citadel.org fails for me more often than not. Mind you, I use Tor Browser from both home, a bar close to $work[1] and the bus station and I keep finding the same issue.
By the way, Russia has an enthusiastic hacking scene going on. Lots of darknet nodes are Russian, not only Tor's.
Oh, ya i figured that, it was just having an exit node running is what surprised me. Good way for them to be "noticed"

Related, was reading some medical student or something got arrested just for reading something some content that was 'not acceptable' due to current law.
His ISP reported him.

And if typos and such ever become illegal. i guess i gotta go off line instantly or ill be heading to prison in a matter of seconds..
LoL
That is so odd. Still works fine for me.

I can load search.citadel.org both from the clearnet and from Tor. What happens when you try to go there?

It times out.
Subject: IPv6 down on all citadel.org properties
My connectivity provider must have done some sort of maintenance over the weekend, because all citadel.org properties are currently experiencing an IPv6 outage (addresses beginning with 2606:8800:21:12::). IPv4 is still working fine (addresses beginning with 72.0.224.88/29). I've got a support ticket in and hope to have it resolved soon. This has happened once before a couple of years ago -- they did a maintenance activity and neglected to keep that working.
I wonder if the trouble you (darknetuser) were having had something to do with IPv6 and now that it's down you're seeing it?

You might be up to something there. I have been closely watching Tor circuits when attempting to use search.citadel.org. When the circuit uses an ipv4-only exit node, the site is reachable as expected. When not, it craps out.

They going to stick you behind an area NAT like they did us here ?
Tue Nov 11 2025 19:27:57 UTC from IGnatius T Foobar Subject: Re: IPv6 down on all citadel.org propertiesGeez. The support team at Ace Innovative (our connectivity provider) says "We are currently not able to offer IPv6 due to recent network changes, but our engineers are looking for possible solutions." It's been working fine with IPv6 for years. If they can't or won't fix this I'll have to switch to another provider.
