- Comment on What are good (web-)proxy servers? or Using a web-proxy instead of VPN for gatekeeping 4 days ago:
I know it’s not exactly what you asked, but.
I just use wireguard and then I’m on my network. No exposing anything. Can’t even tell it’s there.
Great if you’re the only person using it, or can set it up for the non technical.

without KYC
very sketchy
These are synonymous. You will not find one without the other.
- Comment on Selfhosting payment processing 2 weeks ago:
How far up the stack do you want to go? Are you going to build a relationship with Amex and Visa and American Express? Are you going to pass all their certifications? Are you going to do all the kyc work? Going to set up your own PCI audit?
There’s a reason payments processors exist. The relationships you need and the regulations involved are complicated. It’s also not cheap. This is by design.

They are useful for diagnosing recurring crashes.
- Comment on first nas network struggle 2 weeks ago:
I think I worded this poorly. My point about being individually routable is that, that’s the only benefit IPv6 seems to have. Unless I’m missing something.
- Comment on first nas network struggle 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t say it was a security feature. But I also don’t really want my ISP knowing how many devices are in my house.
- Comment on first nas network struggle 2 weeks ago:
I disabled ipv6 across the board. I don’t want my internal devices to be individually routable from the outside. I don’t have a million devices. It’s complexity I don’t want.
Is there anything I’m missing?

Sell it. Buy beer. If you start to regret it, drink the beer.

In caddy, isn’t an OR is just two separate blocks?
@authorized { header X-Custom-Pass “LONGRANDOMKEY01” # jim } @authorized { header X-Custom-Pass “LONGRANDOMKEY02” # Bob }
I could be wrong. Caddy config is a dark art.
- Comment on gethomepage 2.0 with authentication 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but usually with a breaking change it explains how to update the config to not break. But I can’t find it.
- Comment on gethomepage 2.0 with authentication 3 weeks ago:
What’s the breaking change? The auth branch is flagged as not breaking.

- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (14 August 2026) 3 weeks ago:
Holy crap, they added it! I’m on 1password and hadn’t checked in a while it seems.
I’m an idiot :-). But thanks
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (14 August 2026) 3 weeks ago:
The SSO tax kills me. I just want to auto log into things. And my stupid password manager doesn’t respect subdomains, so it shows me 100 credentials on each site I host.
- Comment on Finally happish with my all-in-one homelab (20+ services and way too much tinkering) 5 weeks ago:
I’ll summarize.
Shitty VC backed company. Just a wrapper for llamacpp. Just use llamacpp. If you want a front end, I recommend Anything LLM

Just the desktop client. Not the server.

Second for this. You don’t want to be the guy responsible for a failed 911 call.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 1 month ago:
Assume a security researcher finds a bug in wireguard that, if sent a malformed packet, it can crash the service. Then it would be trivately easy to send that packet to the default port on every IP address and just crash everything for fun.
It costs me nothing to increment the port by 1 and avoid all that drama.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 1 month ago:
Security through obscurity is not sufficient. It’s also not nothing.
- Comment on Immich vs Ente ? 1 month ago:
Immich released it’s first “stable” version. They mean to have fewer breaking changes and prioritize compatibility.
immich.app/blog/v2.0.0-release
I highly recommend.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 1 month ago:
If it’s just wireguard on a nonstandard port, then you are pretty much done. It’s UDP and won’t reply to incorrectly signed packets so it’s essentially invisible.

- Comment on Safely exposing services to the Internet 2 months ago:
You’re going to be sending a url to your family to put into vikunja. That url could contain a port. You’ll dodge a LOT of hassle if you don’t use 80, 443, or any other well known port.

+1 for mailbox. Even though I pay with credit card. They’re outside the country so worst case, the US knows I use them. That’s fine.

I think we overestimate how much of their sales are actually to Americans. Sure, they’ll lose 20 or 30% of their market. But they’re still shipping everywhere else.
