- Comment on What host names do you use? 2 days ago:
I name my devices after greek gods based on what I’m going in life at the time or after what their purpose is.
I named my first gaming PC “Poseidon” when I was doing ship related work. Now it’s my server.
My gaming PC is “Asclepius”, the Greek god of healing. Built when I got into healthcare.
Hermes, god of messeges, is my lil pi that helps with routing (pihole, pivpn, nginx).
My HTPC is Dionysus, Greek god of wine and parties.
My thinkpad is Persephone cus it looks good but doesn’t do much. I might rename it.
The services that I run on these are just named “device-service” e.g. hermes-nginx
- Comment on Oscar-winning animated film 'Flow' created entirely with free and open-source software Blender 4 days ago:
The movie was really well done. It’s a simpler animation style so don’t expect Pixar level stuff, but the story and art direction are great.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
For the services already hosted by the VPS, I just point service.web.site to the appropriate localhost:port.
My hiccup is that the VPN software (pivpn) gives me an internal IP for the clients but pointing Nginx to that IP doesn’t work.

Network config confuses the hell out of me.
haha same 🥲
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
which IP are you trying to obfuscate with a VPN?
My goal was to hide my home IP by routing everything through the VPS. The VPN is hosted on the VPS.
Why don’t you just host your public services on the VPS, and whatever else private on your home equipment.
The VPS is 1 core and 35 GB of storage. I host several websites and some game serves on my home server.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
The goal is to route the services through the VPN and point Nginx to them… but it doesn’t work.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
The VPN is hosted on the VPS, which I rent and have full control of. It’s my own VPN between my devices.
The intent is to put my VPS between my services and the outside world so that it doesn’t expose my home IP.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
I think you got it reversed. I want the container traffic to go through the VPN to the VPS and I want the reverse proxy on the VPS to point to that container.
I want the website (hosted at my house) to be accessible through the VPS so my IP isn’t directly exposed.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 week ago:
Nginx was already set up and working before. I have some sites hosted directly on the VPS as well.
I’m just not sure how to make a website go to a VPN client

- Comment on Experience with refurbished and recertified HDDs? 1 week ago:
I’m using 4 refurbished drives in my server. My first one is showing early signs of failing after three years of being my main torrenting/plex drive.
The other three are new (to me) and are an upgrade from the failing one.
I’d say if the prices are decent, and it includes a year warranty, it doesn’t sound like a bad deal. Just make sure to back it up.

If you’re near a Microcenter, this makes an excellent deal. 12700K bundled with mobo and 16 GB RAM.
I got this bundle and it’s been amazing. I use my single machine for all services due to space constraints. The CPU never goes beyond 30%. The downside is it uses DDR4 so you’re still on older hardware. Still completely viable for everyday use.

This is not as good a deal but it’s available for shipping. RAM isn’t included.
- Comment on Minecraft server hardware benchmarks 2 weeks ago:
I ran a modded server on an i5-4690K for about 5 people and never noticed any hiccups. The CPU was almost always maxed out due to other things (Frigate camera transcoding, Plex streaming, torrenting) and it ran fine.
How many people will be playing and will there be lots of mods?
- Comment on Maker builds cool Raspberry Pi Home dashboard with an old touchscreen monitor 4 weeks ago:
Cool article but the Dell monitor they used is way more than necessary. You can reuse an old laptop screen for fairly cheap and add an IR touch panel to it.

Immich/PhotoPrism/whatever you use for image backup. Cloud providers are snooping through your shit.
Plex/Jellyfin for streaming
Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd, qBittorrent to support the streaming service(s)

thanks, this makes a lot more sense.
That being said, 70C down to 35C is a huge difference, relative to the temperature ranges we live in

And most flights do not play sexually explicit content on the screens.

- Comment on Authentication for external sevices 5 months ago:
I set up Authentik for some of my services and it works.
The setup really threw me off but I powered through learning it. It’s a strange UI and process.
Basically you set it up with Nginx or Caddy or whatever reverse proxy you use. Your reverse proxy points to Authentik and Authentik takes that link and checks for authorization first. If not authorized, prompt login. If authorized, pass on to the subdomain or whatever it is.
To do all this, you’d need a domain.

- Comment on TV with infared sensor (mac mini) 6 months ago:
I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.
It’s awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.
