Then you’ll need to factor in the solar initial cost as well!

That’s too long. We should change it to… wait…
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 3 weeks ago:
People do not necessarily do reasonable things. A lot of society is built on the assumption of people doing reasonable things.

I’m confused, do you have an example of a laptop that uses numbers for their model number iteration rather than their screen size or feature set?
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 3 weeks ago:
Yes but you can get two free instances under the same account.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 3 weeks ago:
Actually you can get 2 IPs for free. Then use high availability
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 3 weeks ago:
I use ZeroTier on a MikroTik router.
Then just advertise routes on the router.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 5 weeks ago:
Ionos.de has a €1 a month VPS
I think 1 core, 1gb ram, and 10gb.
Use either caddy or Nginx proxy manager. Both are easy to setup. Also both are dockerized.
I use Tailscale as my tunnel.
Total latency is about 70-90ms for me.

If you want a cheap cutting board because you can’t afford end grain, look into hinoki boards. They’re cheap and very soft wood.
As with all wooden boards, make sure you seal it first with a neutral oil such as mineral oil.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 2 months ago:
My friend has 1G/1G Internet. I have a rsync cron job backing up there 2 times a week.
It has a 8TB NVMe drive that I use bulk data backup and a 2TB os drive for VM stuff.

I use adguard home in conjunction with NextDNS.
I find adguard a little better in the UI department. Have it in a docker container so it’s a set and forget.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 2 months ago:
Yeah there’s no foolproof way to do a general upgrade. Wiping is the easiest way to bypass the tpm requirement.
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 2 months ago:
If you absolutely must use windows
Download the Pro ISO from windows.
Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation
Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.
Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

We just started the spiritfarer. Absolutely worth it
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
RouterOS has WG built in as well as ZeroTier. RouterOS has become quite powerful lately, but make sure you have at least an ARM/ARM64 CPU for it.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
All of my remote routers are running RouterOS without anything on top of it. RouterOS is powerful enough for anything I throw on it. But I am using much beefier routers, I have 2 x 5009 and a HAP AX3 which have plenty of flash and ram ro run the additional packages I need.
As for normal computers, I have it on a UPS and I backup core files to off-site areas. Additionally, I buy SSDs that have a little bit of powerloss protection.
I’ve never had issues with mini PCs but I’ve had issues with PIs. I’ve since switched to high endurance SD cards for my Pis and they’ve been rock solid. One’s actually semi exposed to the elements for about a year now without a hiccup.
With RouterOS you can still use DoH with either a self hosted list or a selected ad list. If you want to selfhost a DNS server I’d just host a Adguard Home instance on a VPS for all of your devices.
I also have 2 VPN system for my remote management on 2 separate systems. I learned that the hard way when one of my clients is 8 timezones away.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
My ISP blocks all outgoing ports. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough but anything I try port forwarding ends up getting blocked.
Minecraft and port 80 are the 2 I’ve tried and they’ve been unresponsive
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 3 months ago:
I travel on the go often, wireless charging is too inefficient for me. I’d rather charge with my PD battery pack.
Another point, I use my PD pack to charge everything from my phone, drone, camera, to my laptop, ear buds.
Most of those don’t have a wireless charger so I just stick to wired PD charging.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
I’m using the rb5009 but im using RouterOS not openwrt. Any reason why you’d want to do that?
I personally think if you’re buying a purpose built hardware and then putting your own software on it, you should move to a mini computer with OpnSense.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
I’m switching my immich instance to an SSD one and switching my VPN from zerotier to tailscale.
Hopefully that means my Immich will be a little more reactive.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 months ago:
No with the latest ISO from windows 24H2 I believe
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 months ago:
You can still skip it with MicroWin and also Rufus. I’ve tested it just recently.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 3 months ago:
Strangely enough I’ve had the opposite.
My pcie 4.0x4 drive was giving me about 200MB/s on windows and when I plugged it into a Linux machine, full drive speed.
- Comment on Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow? 3 months ago:
Not cheap, but I just use cheap 256gb sata M.2 drives and a tool less enclosure.
Runs at sata speeds and are cheap. Plus the enclosure supports NVMe so I could run around with a 8TB stick.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 3 months ago:
Number 3. I already did two degrees with it.
