Nginx...two domains, same sites? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I switched from duckdns about a year ago as it failed to resolve the addresses for my jellyfin server. I ended up buying a domain from cloudflare for 3 years for about $4, and I self-hosted ddns updater to automatically grab the dynamic ip, and set it to a subdomain.

As for your nginx config, I'd imagine you could make 2 separate config files in sites-enabled that are nearly identical, but listen for different domains. Something like this:


#config file 1 
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example_a.com;

    location / {
        return 301 http://example_c.com$request_uri;
	#or use an ip instead of example_c.com
    }
}

#config file 2
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example_b.com;

    location / {
        return 301 http://example_c.com$request_uri;
	#or use an ip instead of example_c.com
    }
}


#Or use "proxy_pass http://example_c.com;" in the location tag instead of "return 301..." if you want to reverse proxy the traffic

Outer layer issues - Help fixing my print (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Hey y'all, I've been having issues with gaps forming between the outer layers of the print walls, and I'm not sure how to fix that. I thought it might be because of a clogged extruder, but the issue didn't get fixed when I cleaned it. I tried adjusting the E-steps, but smaller values caused blobs of filament to form on the outer walls likely because lower values overextruded the filament. Apart from the weird top layer and walls, the prints turn out perfectly fine, so it might be a slicer related issue. The printer is an Ender 3 pro with a bltouch sensor and upgraded marlin board + octoprint.

Here are some pictures of the issue, and a screenshot of the slicer settings:

Any help is greatly appreciated :3

I found a list of "user validated waifus" online, which is where most of them were picked from. Hatsune miku is the only one I knew from the start had to be there.

Caption: An image of the album cover from Guns and Roses for their album "Appetite for Destruction", which has been modified to replace the skulls of the band members with waifus. The image has a caption that says "So about a year ago, I woke up from a dream, drenched in sweat, with just one phrase being on my mind "guns and waifus". Today, i made the music cover a reality." End Caption

So this actually happened, and "guns and waifus" has been sitting dormant in my notes app until today.

I don't really listen to guns and roses, nor do i watch anime, so i hope i didn't offend anyone :3

Here's the picture without the caption:

Want input on optimal PSU fan placement (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi, my 3d printer psu fan gave up the ghost, and I wanted to replace it. It was pretty noisy, so I thought about upgrading from a 30mm to an 80mm fan. I am designing the top case with mounting holes, and want some input on where to place the new fan. The original placement is the box with the red color. The green and blue box are some options I thought of for the new fan placement. Would placing it over the busier part of the pcb yield lower temps, or is that a bad idea? Does placement even matter for psu fans? The new fan has higher airflow, but lower static pressure than the original one, and the plan is for it to always spin at a low rpm and occasionally speed up when the psu detects a high temperature. The original config runs it completely fanless until the psu reaches 50c and only then does it send voltage to the fan header.

Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft. 5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up. Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.

I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

/endrant

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
