Of course. It’s because they had to catch and write down every single byte with a pencil on paper, then decrypt it, understand it, report the funny ones to a boss, who nodded slowly and silently and then they typed it in again on the other side.

They do not visit you. You do not visit them. You visit bad places.

Put some wax around it and sell it to a museum.

They are prepared for such ideas, and you should assume that they are better than you.

How do I make sure not to become this kind of person?

These are many different questions, so it needs lots of answers. I can see three aspects now. There may be more.

Some of these things they do are clearly toxic. So you can avoid being like this if you always continue to love yourself exactly as good as you love other humans, and stay ready to question your own actions / behaviour, and change if needed.

Some of these things aren’t so bad per se, but they are triggering you. This means that you do the same and you find it bad, but have not found a way to change yourself. This is the hard part, because this is also where you can’t see yourself properly. You need help from others. Ask some very, very trusted friends where and how it happens that you do the same things. And be ready for their answer even if you don’t like it. This thing: be ready if you need to change yourself, is also the most important of all my suggestions, because: as soon as you aren’t ready for this anymore, it means you have already become (a good bit) like this other kind of person.

Another part of the answer is that you can’t know the future, therefore it won’t be possible to determine everything. You are going to make mistakes, like everybody does. My advice for this part is to have mercy with your future self.

Ethernet cables are not “wireless”, however.

How did you find out?

Now you know that the problem is not your DNS.

It is either your routing or firewalling.

I tell it to point docmost.example.com to 192.168.1.80, […] but actually nothing happens. I get a connection timed out error.

I suggest to collect more info about this “nothing”.

ping from your PC on the inside to the name docmost.example.com

ping from your PC on the inside to the number 192.168.1.80

traceroute from your PC on the inside to the name docmost.example.com

traceroute from your PC on the inside to the number 192.168.1.80

Then do the same in the reverse direction: from that docker container to your PC.

Maybe traceroute shows you some stations on the route. Then do the same from this station.

Write down the results thoroughly.

You do not let your k8s control instance look “live” at your git server during the start (or reformation) of the whole cluster. It needs the (repo and) files checked out somewhere locally, and this local “somewhere” must exist at start time.

Later, when your git is alive, you do a regular git pull for keeping it up to date.

chicken and egg situation, since I plan to store my Kubernetes manifests in my git repo

Not really.

K8s would use a “checked-out” visible representation, not the repo database itself.

git is file system based.

Git is also a database.

RasPi 4B with the dedicated HassOS distro.

Installation was easy. Upgrades run regularly and very stable.

No. Never would I self-host a search engine.

The crawler would eat up so much more ressources than I am ever willing to spend.

No testing environment in my home lab so far.

But on the other hand, no planned builds either. Just fiddling around til it works.

I am currently planning for new hardware, and then doing it all with build scripts there, as fully automated as possible. The whole setup, from scratch. But for that I need to do some learning first.

So the new hardware is going to be it’s own test environment for a good while, until it turns into production.
