- Comment on Product recommendation (Hyper Backup target) 15 hours ago:
Really all you’re needing is a network interface to a disk. Nothing more. If you’re comfortable running a headless device, go for that and ignore Synology as the majority of the features aren’t even needed in this case. Hyper Backup supports rsync destinations on remote hosts, and that sounds like all you want.
- Comment on Product recommendation (Hyper Backup target) 16 hours ago:
Synology sells single bay units now, but anything that has network connectivity should work fine. If this is just off-site backup, find whatever is the cheapest. If an RPi with a USB attached disk is cheaper, do that.

First off, no, this is 100% not true. That’s like saying a professional chef’s chicken soup will be the same as a beginner following the same recipe. Just, no.
Second, I’m talking about the general idea and implementation. Example:
Which is easier?
- Cloning and running a repo to install node deps, configuring dotenv variables, running node app, then opening a browser to input a domain name into a field to get a response back about domain ownership, OR…
- Opening a terminal and running
whois somedomain.comand getting a response back. Code to illustrate.
Which is easier?
- Configuring and running a compose to start a docker container to visit a browser to use a text editor, OR…
- Open a local text editor which every OS has available
The cheeky nature of the projects aren’t lost on me, i just don’t see a point beyond basic coding exercises for them to exist. They’re getting social media hype and embracing that…cool, but anyone acting like this is some awesome new stuff is just delusional or flat wrong.

There’s a difference between KISS and just plain useless. These apps are like beginner code for people in high school.
- Comment on Backups: Am I doing this right? 3 days ago:
Some things you should determine first:
- Total amount of data you will be backing up
- Frequency of backups
- Number of copies to keep
Plug these numbers into cost calculators for whatever cloud service you’re hoping to use, because this is honestly not going to be the cheapest route to store off-site if there are ingress charges like with S3.
I know Cloudflare’s R2 service doesn’t charge for ingress or egress (for now), but you might be able to find something even cheaper if you’re only backing up certain types of data that can be easily compressed.
I’d also investigate cheap ways to maybe just store an off-site drive with your data: office/work, family house, friends house…etc.

Sure, but the playbooks show where files are being put, which is what you requested.

That thing is power hungry. Don’t even plug it in if you’re not even sure you need to use it for anything. It’ll cost you plenty in electricity just to have it idling.
- Comment on Encrypted backups to the cloud 5 days ago:
I’d calculate your total cost then, and figure out ingress and egress costs depending on the provider. Cloudflare with R2 is the only “cloud” storage service I’m aware of that doesn’t charge for either right now. They may in the future so check out your costs.
- Comment on Encrypted backups to the cloud 5 days ago:
It’ll cost you more storing it in cloud than just buying more drives. If you’re already in a spot where that’s a problem, this is not a solution for you.
- Comment on NUT UPS support question 5 days ago:
Well what’s the delta between the two? Just searching adding the “-R” seems to be a lesser version with things like missing ports. Logic says if you’re using NUT that it would at least have network or serial to communicate with something, and it would work just fine, but look for reviews and figure out what the difference is since it’s not listed as a defined product model on the Cyberpower pages.
- Comment on If I self host mastodon and matrix, and shutdown the device, when I turn it on again, will it receive all the activity that happened in the meantime? 5 days ago:
Sort of, but not really. It’s a pub/sub ecosystem, so if your services are offline, they aren’t going to be pulling the delta of missed data beyond a threshold. That’s why clients are clients, because they are built to do this for this purpose.
It wouldn’t make sense for a deployment acting as an active instance to act like a client in the way you’re describing, because the services are configured and tuned to NOT act that way, but ingest data available at time of publish to the endpoints they are subscribed to.
- Comment on If I self host mastodon and matrix, and shutdown the device, when I turn it on again, will it receive all the activity that happened in the meantime? 5 days ago:
You’re talking about syncing and downloading content from external services, which makes me think you’re just imagining these as being a client versus an “instance”. In that case, just use a client because neither of these services inherently do what you’re asking, that’s what a client of these services does.
- Comment on If I self host mastodon and matrix, and shutdown the device, when I turn it on again, will it receive all the activity that happened in the meantime? 5 days ago:
I think they are asking about a personal instance, not something federated necessarily. A lag server.
- Comment on Self-hosted home server project - call for competent advisory opinions 5 days ago:
You’re asking a very general question, and will get a lot of general answers.
Figure out what you want to run first, get it running on what you have available, then adapt if you run into issues.
I wouldn’t be asking just what other people think you should do because you’re going to get a lot of noise.
- Comment on which softwares can I self host without public IP? 6 days ago:
Anything. You don’t need any services to be public unless you choose for them to be.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 6 days ago:
Okay…back up a bit.
You have a VPS server hosted somewhere…so which IP are you trying to obfuscate with a VPN?
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 6 days ago:
Unless your VPN provider supports static port mapping, this is not going to work.
- Comment on Experience with refurbished and recertified HDDs? 6 days ago:
Ask HOW they are “refurbished”. If they’re swapping controller boards or wiping SMART status, pass.

Read your own screenshot
- Comment on Need Support: DMZ at home with nginx proxy to LAN 1 week ago:
If it’s 192.168.1.1, then your DNS has the wrong address somewhere. It’s looking for .242
- Comment on Need Support: DMZ at home with nginx proxy to LAN 1 week ago:
You have a loopback. Says it right there.
From your diagram it looks like you’re have two reverse proxies chained together…why?

I don’t think you changed them in the right way, or didn’t restart. Post configs.
