- Comment on Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding? 1 month ago:
My optiplex with i5-6500TE can transcode 4K videos easily if the codec is AVC. HEVC is different story though. Any CPU newer than 10th generation would be more than enough for your needs, I’d say.

- Comment on Help finding a new notes app 3 months ago:
Joplin can be a multi-user solution as well. I use Joplin with Nextcloud. If you don’t want to share notes just use Joplin and every user can use the same nextcloud instance, but different user accounts, to save their notes. If you want to share all the notes, all the users can synchronise with the same Nextcloud user. You can make different notebooks for different users. All the users, however, can see and edit notes. Joplin cannot be a solution if you want to share some notes. It is either all, or none.
Logseq can be another solution, with the same technique. However, you can use
git
to synchronise different databases, where one database is used in shared notes and personal databases for non-shared notes. I host my own Gitea (will soon shift to forgejo) to synchronise my Logseq databases. - Comment on What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance? 4 months ago:
We had a wonderful English teacher in our college. And on the last day many students gave her some gifts. If I remember correctly, we gave a small bamboo plant that sits on a table, some squishy smiley balls aka stress balls, a custom printed tshirt, a book, and maybe a mug too.

- If you are self hosting for privacy, I recommend staying away from Cloudflare, that is, not to use their proxying service or Cloudflare tunnel.

- Comment on Elevating Performance and Flexibility | Stalwart Labs 5 months ago:
For me the issue with Mullvad is like this… I connect to a server, I get good speeds, but after an hour or two, I get stuck at 2-3mbps. This issue gets resolved when I reconnect, even to the same server. Also, I like using OpenVPN over TCP, but their speeds, in Mullvad’s case, are terrible for all exit nodes.
It also may be the case that my ISP is deliberately ruining the IPv4 routes because I am connecting to a VPN for privacy.
- Comment on Elevating Performance and Flexibility | Stalwart Labs 5 months ago:
I was paying $7/m for their mail, VPN and drive services. One of my major reasons to switch was their lack of linux support. They claim that it is hard to find Linux developers. Second reason was their drive’s download and upload speeds were terrible, from where I am sitting. Their VPN service is great. I always got great speeds, but their linux apps have always been terrible. Their mail service is also great, but I would like more control over it, like Mailbox.org. on Mailbox, I can encrypt my inbox using a different key, while also having the SMTP submission feature. I really ned that to integrate emails with my websites and services. Mailbox can also encrypt their cloud drive with our key, while also providing WebDAV support (how cool is that). Their mail app on android is open-source but is not available on f-droid. And the apk they provide on their website neither has a notification functionality, nor does it auto-update. Another reason was that I was limited to 3 custom domains, unless I buy their business plan. Mailbox has no such limit.
One final reason was that I did not want to keep all my apples in one basket. So, for mail, I am using mailbox, for storage, I am using a personal nextcloud and a Hetzner managed nextcloud, for VPN, I started using mullvad, but their speeds are terrible and connections are unreliable. For passwords I am using self-hosted vaultwarden.
There are a few more reasons that I do not remember, now. Proton is great, I still trust them. But these small things really go a long way.
- Comment on Elevating Performance and Flexibility | Stalwart Labs 5 months ago:
I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail, then to Mailbox.org. Ypu can set up a mailserver on your home server, but you would need a VPS that would forward the traffic to and from your home server without you needing to open any ports. This guide can help you with TLS passthrough.
But setting up your own mailserver is a big hassle. Just pay a trusted provider and keep your inbox, and preferably all emails, encrypted with GPG.
- Comment on Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request] 5 months ago:
Some people even use Raspberry Pis as their NAS. I use an old MacBook (5th gen i5) as a home server with 2 external hard drives as a NAS, which also runs a few docker containers like Jellyfin. Before that, I was using an old PC with 1st gen i3 for all these things.
- Comment on Immich is awesome 6 months ago:
The only thing preventing me to move from photoview to immich is the lack of sorting/viewing photos by folder hierarchy. I love the UI and the machine learning customisation options. They recently added the “external albums” feature, so I am hoping this folder hierarchy thing, too, will soon be implemented.
- Comment on Open source travel planner 6 months ago:
I have been trying to find such a solution but I couldn’t. I have scraped almost every Reddit post I could find on this topic but I could not find a solution that works for me. So I ended up making a simple table on Nextcloud notes. Along with that I used the Organic Maps app which is based on OSM. I just downloaded the maps I needed onto my device and I pinned some locations that I wanted to visit.
All the work was done manually. I would really appreciate if someone can develop such a solution. I am even willing to donate a few dollars.
- Comment on Open source travel planner 6 months ago:
I think I remember reading such a post where the person was saying that they are trying to develop such a solution, but it was work in progress. It was an old post, and I think they had abandoned it.
- Comment on BVG out here recommending the best 2FA Apps! 6 months ago:
My bank, for example, does not let us use any 2FA app we want. They have their own separate app, made for handling 2FA for that specific bank only.
And in general too, yes. Like Arogya Setu. The app we had to install to prove our vaccination status.
- Comment on BVG out here recommending the best 2FA Apps! 6 months ago:
In India, they force us to install proprietary apps, which are probably spying on us.

- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 6 months ago:
Using multiple config files is a bother, plus I really need the kill switch. Is there a way to replicate it manually? I didnt’t know rcloje started supporting Proton Drive, I’ll start using it.
- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 6 months ago:
I have been paying for Proton Unlimited for a very long time. About a year ago, they changed their prices for new users. currently it is $12/m, but I have to pay only $7.50/m, and yes, I pay monthly.
I use Proton Mail with 3 custom domains, and I am an always-on VPN user. The VPN connection is always great with good speeds, but sometimes bad pings, but have a bad Linux app (yes, the new one as well). I also use their drive, currently using ~200GB. I have never touched Proton Pass because I have a self-hosted Vaultwarden server.
But I am seriously considering discontinuing their service, specifically due to their poor Linux support. Their VPN app is shit, they don’t provide and not even developing a Linux app for Drive. But their are 2 reasons that make me continue their service. One, I do not really wish to self-host my email, and I do not want to use Tutanota, because I need Thunderbird. Two, there are no trusted VPN providers that give Indian IPs.
