I see, well, it it still serves you good, nothing to say here
- Comment on Trying to make a phone proxy 3 weeks ago:
Good point! I totally forgot that.
But if I am able to recall correctly the QoS for the VoLTE and just regular data is totally different and the antenna may refused to provide you enough data for a non-prior service
- Comment on Trying to make a phone proxy 3 weeks ago:
???
There are a lot of reputable VoIP companies, my employer right now uses them and we never faced a problem. But makes sure it is reputable ;)
And you could also port your number so to all effects it is your number.
I don’t know, I still believe it is the easiest way forward. But in the end it is your call
- Comment on Question about storage 3 weeks ago:
That much? Shit, then update the processor, probably spending 15€ is going to update the speed a lot!
- Comment on Question about storage 3 weeks ago:
Uh?!?
If that equipment is not able to get 60Mb/s there is something terrible wrong here…
- Comment on Trying to make a phone proxy 3 weeks ago:
What you need is a sip server / interface for making VoIP call through internet, there are many implementations and servers, selfhosted and paid. Pick up one you like.
Please, be aware that the quality of the voice call depends and a lot of the data rate. Keep this in mind uif you are in remote locations with poor coverage.
It is always recommended the asterisk + the freepbx for the gui. Please be aware that I don’t have experience with those systems
- Comment on Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box 3 weeks ago:
I think I didn’t get exactly what you want. Ant it keeps me wondering that perhaps there are a few concepts not so clear.
Do you want to receive streaming from a server? do you want to setup the server? Or something completely else?
If you want to receive the streaming from a server, the most compatible cost-effective solution is the Amazon fire. Works with remotes and you will be able to play every media you have because the server will transcode the file on the fly if the fire stick doesn’t support the format.
If you want something more open to tinker or to get more functionality then a raspberry pi will be enough, because once again, the heavy lifting is done by the servers (via plex server or moonlight server).
More powerful boxes exists but then you need to start thinking carefully what is your use case for not eating money.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 5 weeks ago:
Precisely bitwarden movement proves my point. Bitwarden tried to degrade the features/compatibility of the solution and they couldn’t because of the vaultwarden implementation.
Can they always add new features after a pay wall? Sure! But once foss Sw is here it is simple impossible to remove functionality, at most, to get some coins for services not fully selfhosted.
If tailscale tries to do something similar is goint to be a shoot into their own leg, because all the sw already disclosed makes it impossible. Could they make the relay a paid one? Sure but then they will face the competence of a vps with the Headscale implementation.
This and only this is because in your home lab only foss Sw should be allowed, even if you need to pay some money from time to time
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, this seems more than your assumptions and fears than anything else.
Clients are open source and foss, the moment something strange is in, Headscale could adapt.
If they finally goes to full close source, then the community will fork (emby - jellyfinn drama).
Your arguments don’t hold together, for the good of the community
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 5 weeks ago:
I really don’t see how the enshitification could work when we have the fee version of the central servers Headscale
So yes, it could be a pay wall for some advance featuresike funnels and so on. But the primary use is secured…

I have more than 120 electronic identities, impossible to track the counter or to remember the tld of all websites I visit.
The concepts is only useful in a very small and defined scenario.
- Comment on Hosting virtualbox for my students 1 month ago:
Honestly I totally disagree, this community is about avoiding SaaS and controlling the important part of the stack to keep your own data under control.
If the service you need is just a provider of vm for your own business, is not a contradiction and it is still selfhosted as long as you control it.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 1 month ago:
Check it again, I used it for years before switching to something with more features
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 1 month ago:
If you have a prosumer router I suggest you to use the ddns in the router plus a reverse proxy. This would be the cleanest solution.
If you can not, once everything is working with your external access to the synology, the dsm has a built-in reverse proxy so it can redirect http requests to another server. Although this proxy is really simple and limited it can get the work done if you setup is simple enough.
- Comment on Hosting virtualbox for my students 1 month ago:
Got it.
But looking that the question has been posted in a selfhosted thread I don’t see the recomendation of the cloud solution :)
- Comment on Hosting virtualbox for my students 1 month ago:
Why?
There are not benefits in the cloud solution over the hosted server. It could even be more expensive on the long run…
And yes, kasm has a cloud solution in its web page
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 month ago:
Tailscale too if you use the fee implementation Headscale
And in both cases you need a vps fully reachable from anywhere
- Comment on Encrypting without full disk encryption question 1 month ago:
Check Mandos , if you are able to secure enough the server (inside a safe box?) then you are good
- Comment on Hosting virtualbox for my students 1 month ago:
Explore kasm, it is fucking amazing Kasm
- Comment on Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console 1 month ago:
Performance wise AMD and Intel run circles around the m4, there is not any compititiom here.
Performance Watt per instruction is where the m4 really shines and still I have my reservations
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Plenty of ipv4 only in 2025?? Really?? Without a possibility to activate dual stack or just the dslite-crap?
I honestly didn’t think this could be a real issue in those years.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 2 months ago:
Small and stupid question.
Why don’t use a ddns client to update your ipv6 evytime it changes? With a ttl of a minute your shouldn’t be able to see any downtime…
I (genuinely) thinks you are trying to solve a small problem in the complicated and hard way… M
- Comment on I have some questions about selfhosting 2 months ago:
-
It depends of what you want as future proof (expansion capabilities). Usually home user nases come with low power cpu, a high power cpu usually is a enterprise grade nas, really costly for a home user. So having it separated makes the cpu upgrade easy but now you have 2 boxes. But if your terramaster comes with a decent cpu I don’t see any problem.
-
True nas scale is really a behemoth able of almost everything. I would start with something more reduced like omv or unraid. You really don’t need the advance enterprise features of that and it will add only complexity to the setup.
-
If you use NFS for exporting folders from your nas, the “computing box” will see this as a local folder, so no need to have 2 copies of the same file.
Hope it helps

- Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services 2 months ago:
Huh???
Honestly I don’t see your problem, a nuance? Sure! An unsolvable problem? For sure not.
If you want to have your system reachable from the Wan then you will need a domain name. If you have a domain name then it is needed to be resolved by a dns server.
If there is a dns resolver then you would able to update it dynamically every time your ip changes.
True that the time alive of the dns records must be low enough to ensure that an ip change does not let your system down for an unacceptable amount of time.
- Comment on Over Synology, and looking to build my first home lab. Could use some advice on parts... 2 months ago:
Honestly, I have the impression your setup is oversized (knowing nothing about what you want to run)
NAS systems set on idle like 90% of the time unless your are doing really crazy things with de duplication and distributed iscsi for super big volumes, that I have the impression your are not going to do.
You can probably cut the performance/specs to the half and still being good for the following 10 years and the extra that you will save on electricity too.
As a comparison I checked this built against your synology and in the multicore setup is x10 more powerful (cpu-monkey.com/…/compare_cpu-intel_celeron_j4025-…)
Just my two cents
- Comment on If someone is bullied to suicide/threatened to death, and they actually attempt something like that or die, will the person who told them to do so get charged? 2 months ago:
In Europe there is the penal recognition to criminal inducement, you may not be the real committer but the one who has been pushing and convincing people to do it.
And yes, if the person commits suicide, it falls in this category
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 4 months ago:
Because the modification of that computer is order of magnitudes more difficult than a mechanical modification of a moving part. The humanity / regular human is able to understand much better the interactions of the mechanical parts that usually are always local and well defined.
This does not exist in the Sw, FW and digital hw, the interactions are not local and are millions timesmore complex to understand and properly modify.
It would be an utterly irresponsability to modify (blindly) the Sw of an xray machine that could make it unsafe and ultimately it could kill humans, and it is the same concept with the car. It is irresponsable to make a modification that can make the system unsafe.
For the rest? Regulations, free software foundation and good selfhosting Cheers
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 4 months ago:
Then don’t buy tesla, or force legislation about introducing such feature.
But make yourself a favor and don’t play Russian roulette with something that you can not understandbecause there are not data available.
And for final tip, if you really cares about that then enforce the fsf (fsf.org)
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 4 months ago:
It is not comparable, not even by far.
Assuming your are not a psycho, to safely drive a car is orders of magnitude (in plural) easier than modifying the Sw in a safe and deterministic way.
It is not only that bad people exists, it is about that making a small mistake can kill you
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 4 months ago:
First, second and third most important point is : Tesla needs to allow the connection to an alternative server.
The fourth should be access to the api and data that are exchanged.
You shouldn’t mess with the FW of your own car even for some innocent feature like this one, you don’t know/understand the interactions that may happen between different Sw components and the hw layer, you can not provide a similar of level of testing, including some worst case scenarios, that can make your car unsafe during some problems or unforeseen conditions. And perhaps also, the car could loose its license for driving…
If tesla allows that, then we can start speaking about it. But last time I check on that was not possible
