I live in Singapore. And haze is a thing. Thanks Indonesia and burning rain forests to create palm plantations. Needless to say, so far 2019 and 2020 haven't been great.
Anyhow I got myself a Novita air purifier ~2 years ago, and I stole received a Xiaomi purifier from Liyun.
This follows the my two other posts about WireGuard.
Most of this can be copied from the amd64 post -- with a minor change for making it work on RPi4. This is the full git repo (including both rpi and amd64).
This is a rant.
I've dealt with quite a few (bad) banks over the course of my life across countries and businesses.
And I think HSBC is one of the worst.
For various reasons. But mostly for being stuck in another century.
And you'd expect a tiny (Belgian) bank to be horrible. Not one of the biggest banks in the world with branches in almost every country of the world.
The Resilio Sync package that's provided on a Synology NAS' Packager Center is out of date (2.6.2) and has a bug that causes big files to fail to sync (and that causes a loop of endless retries).
The solution is to manually update the package from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4. Find your NAS architecture and then download (bottom of the page) the right binary and manually install it.
I was rebuilding my WireGuard Docker container today and this error started popping up:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)The solution was to install bc. Seems like Debian is not pulling the right dependencies. I'll be adding it to my Dockerfile.
This is the 2nd post about WireGuard.
So I am running two WireGuard servers -- one on a Raspberry Pi 4, and one in an amd64 virtual machine. This post will be about getting WireGuard working on amd64 in a Docker container.
As this container rarely get rebuild, I am running unattended-upgrades inside the container to make sure security updates are applied.
This is the first post of several. Next posts will focus on running WireGuard inside a Docker container on amd64 Linux and a Raspberry Pi.
I've been running WireGuard for a few months now and I've been loving it.
I first started using it about a year ago when in China — OpenVPN was once again being actively blocked and it was driving me nuts. Overnight I set up a DigitalOcean server in Singapore and ran WireGuard from it — both my phone and laptop were able to actively bypass the GFW and (at that time) surf the internet freely once more. As WireGuard gains popularity, I am sure the GFW will start detecting it — it's a quiet but not a stealthy protocol.
Back in the days -- when I was 16 or so -- Smokeping was the rage. Every colo provider in Amsterdam, every NOC, they all had their own Smokeping.
Playing around with Docker I saw some Smokeping image and that made me want to set it up again.
I'm running Smokeping on my server in Amsterdam (Leaseweb colo): smokeping.rootspirit.com.
