I just got a UGreen unit and while it is taking longer to set up then I’d like, the interface is pretty good and docker was up and running pretty quickly. Traefik is a royal pita, but that’s a user problem since I never used it before and it’s my test system.

Yahoo! Congrats to the Immich teams and developers!

Bingo. I’ve used Synology for ages and while they dont last forever, I get a lot of use out of them and re-buy them usually with an upgrade in mind.

But the new hard drive policy broke that cycle. I don’t put up with that. I replaced one with a UGreen NAS last month. It’s too early to tell how I feel about it. Docker is there and containers spin up pretty easily. Rumor has it there is hardware support for video encoding too, though I haven’t gotten around to testing it.

My strawberries just started taking off too! Also my watermelon started flowering again and my Japanese maple sent out just one branch with new leaves and buds. My garden is confused!

Even though there are some cloud services like remote server management, proxies, and 3rd party integration, I do actually have to run the software myself on my hardware. Hence, self hosted.

I get what you are saying, but in the case of the internet, you need an IP address to connect rather than simply exist with a computer. Someone needs to know where to send the data.

There are however free connections: unsecured neighbors wifi, city wifi, hotels, and even busses/trams. Lots have limitations to hogging bandwidth though.

I saw that pic too! Coffee hadn’t kicked in yet and took me a second to realize what was going on. Kids toys are so bland these days.

They could have been renters in the first place.

Over in my parts we had a big problem of landlords jacking up rent to squeeze tenants out and list the property on Airbnb. I haven’t followed those trends in a while though. I think the turnover/cleaning cycle cut into ROI and discouraged that trend a bit.

I run multiple Plex servers and just pin libraries to the main screen. It’s pretty straightforward.

EDIT: Oh! Do you mean Plex and jellyfin on the same interface? Sorry, no clue on that one.

First thing that comes to mind is a mechanic’s stethoscope.

Edit: basically 8adger’s screwdriver trick but I have one in my Kit of Resourcefulness™

That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.
