- Comment on Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab? 6 days ago:
Usually 2.5" hdd tends to be more silent. But they are definitely worse from a nas perspective and not so in the ratio €/gb.
The solution with non mechanical disks is by far the most silent, but prepare the wallet and probably a kidney too.
- Comment on Why does my ISP sometimes give one IPv6 and another with a different subnet? 1 week ago:
Are both of them ula addresses? (both of them starting with 2). If they are not the same then the ISP is providing an internal unique address for isp internal configurations.
If so, are they having the same network? ( The first 48 bits) if not, then is probably a miss configuration but probably in their side. But with no practical effects. You could ignore it.
If yes again, then it is a miss configuration and it shouldn’t happen, but this time it could be in your side, check that the dhcpv6 daemon doesn’t try to give an ipv6 address To your Wan port
- Comment on ISO Homelab Power Saving Methods 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, every hw that is not going automatically into a power save mode when not used is utterly crap, even my home grade switches are able to do so.
So, the only thing you need to do is to buy recent hw and of course not over size your hw necessities. But recent hw tends to be more expensive, so in the end, it is an excel driven decission.
And once this is said, be careful, some hw suffer more for a on/off cycle than from a continuous power on mode. Think in hdd power cycles or condensation/ salt-rust problems in high humidity areas.
- Comment on How do you get a certificate for an internal domain? 2 weeks ago:
Still it is not clear to me how the interbank reverse proxy may get a valid certificate when the domain name is pointing to the vps. Do you copy later manually to the internal proxy?
And if so, how do you overcome the invalid certificate warning when you are accessing your services locally?
- Comment on How do you get a certificate for an internal domain? 2 weeks ago:
Question, how do you deal with the certificates if you have an external vps doing passthroy?
Because that certificate will not match the domain name of the vps and then everything will fail or at least trigger a lot of alerts.
I really fail to see how an internal backend in a different subnet can send the right certificate

- Comment on Where do I even start? 2 months ago:
If you are interested if rue photo storage then start… With the storage.
So pick up a nas or something similar, pay a bit more for the super intuitive fancy gui product and the start from there.
Learn what is nas and how to connect to a pc Thne learn how to do the same with your smartphone Then learn a bit about networking Then… Continuous for the hardest itch and try to Scratch it
And you need support, come back here, check videos and web pages or even chatgpt, for the basic stuff is quite acceptable
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Ehmmmm I still don’t grasp what you mean.
In any case, mandos has a possibility to do it automatically via rsa encryption, so you have the possibility of totally unattended restart.
Because the server is (ideally) in a different location, if one of yiur systems is stolen / compromised then you only delete / revoked the certificates ID and then that machine would not be able to decrypt its own luks system.
I never deployed this system on my own, but I know a few guys who did it

- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 2 months ago:
You are partially right, I was fast and sloppy and I gave the impression all is jitted and it is not the reality.
The part of the translation is fine. However there are parts that are compiled beforehand (shaders for example and I can recall something about arm or other architectures, not sure now). And this is a crucial point of the extra performance, because some parts can be ported to more updated/efficient implementations, not because there are less services in the background.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 2 months ago:
As far as I know for the new Vulkans layers and dx12 implementation there is a “translation layer” from the old dx implementation to the most updated one. This is the main reason why old games runs faster on Proton than in w7 for the same hw. Even if they were designed for w7 specifically.
Last time I checked this was done during the booting of the game, but i have to admit this was time ago and it could have been changed.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 2 months ago:
Ummmm sure?
I don’t want to start that extremely old flame war of native VS jit code but…
Proton is not an emulation, it is a translation to native code, and while it has some drawbacks (more memory usage, more time at start up to compile things) it can unlocks a lot of potential when the hw support new capabilities, this is the reason that some dx10 games run faster on Linux…
- Comment on Should I replace NPM? 2 months ago:
Nginx is considered battle tested.
Very few products have this level of puic scrutiny and and a good record of being safe.
Once this is said, the majority of problems come from misconfigurations, so triple check the things
- Comment on Jellyfin, Traefik and Tailscale Config Question 2 months ago:
OK I understood that the request came from internet and tailscale was to link the reverse proxy and the server.
In this case try ipv6, pretty sure you have ipv6 and you will have a public address.
But for this case you will need a dns in your network so example.com can be resolved and then your proxy will make the right request.
Yes doable.
- Comment on Jellyfin, Traefik and Tailscale Config Question 2 months ago:
Yes, it is possible, but you need a domain (example.com) that I guess you want to be resolved from internet and a public face ip.
After that, yep, if the reverse proxy can resolve tailscale names (basically it has tailscale installed in the same machine) and the service is reachable via tailscale, then it is perfect.
In fact in my setup I have a public domain name that is translated into a private domain name in the reverse proxy (exactly what you want with the addition of tailscale)
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 2 months ago:
It is almost impossible to achieve those numbers, specially the idle, and the load we can only to be close to them when we use the watt/ per-useful-instruction metric.
recentest hw will have decent idle consumption (n95 is around 2w) but the rest of the hw will consume more and usually you attach more powerful/energy hungry devices so expect <10w in idle and perhaps <25w under load.
Older hw could not be so bad under load but they will idle less and will consume more
- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 3 months ago:
Start with a nas, the rest will naturally come when you try to access your data for outside, or organize your data, or save more data types to your nas.
Your nas should be the central device and you build the rest around it.
Now, The question is, which nas? I would recommend synology, they are not too performance, a bit expensive and the company is lately doing suspicious moves, but the sw and the hw are rock solid and they are quite good for beginners from almost all angles. Extra point for how many howtos and tutorials are present in internet.
Once you are comfortable with them, you will realize the rest

- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 3 months ago:
No, it is not, your premise is false (in our real world. TM.) but your reasoning is good.
Energy does not vanish, you need a process to remove energy of a system.
Think in the planets orbiting the sun or the energy contained in a damm with millions liters of water. The energy is not dissipating itself, it is constant, forever.
So as long as the system is not disturbed, keeping the system in the same state is energy free because you only need energy to alter the system. Even of the energy distributions is not evenly balanced through it.
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 3 months ago:
Well, it would not be the first time that an anti cheat is having a Trojan and a Keylogger to add a computer into a botnet.
Let’s be honest here, nobody is interested in yiur specific data but your hw…
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 3 months ago:
Gaming in a vm is possible, high end multi-player game in a vm is more complicated because of the performance penalty and the anti cheat (again the same problem) honestly I don’t know how good this solution could be
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 3 months ago:
I am not going to be the one to try to stop you but you need to keep in mind that games/sw piracy comes with great risks.
You need to execute anti cheat / drm / copyrighted stuff and this is always a big door open to malware.
Be cautious out there, it is not a pleasant walk
