- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 1 day ago:
I am still using cloudflare tunnels for home assistant, so I am a little annoyed. On the other hand this was a much needed reminder that I need to move home assistant to pangolin/newt as well.
- Comment on Backups of Backups 1 week ago:
That’s why I burn new ones every 6 months
- Comment on Backups of Backups 1 week ago:
I actually still burn 5-8 BluRay disks about twice a year with my most important data (Photos, memories etc.) which I store at my parents house as true immutable offsite backups. Furthermore I mirror my TrueNAS Backup Server every night at my brother’s place through a VPN connection .
- Comment on Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering 1 week ago:
One big advantage is that you don’t need to run unbound to free yourself from (commercial/non-profit) upstream dns providers completely.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 1 week ago:
Afaik the budget friendliest local AI solutions currently are Mac Minis due to the CPU/GPU/RAM unified structure they are powerhouses for AI.
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 2 weeks ago:
Last I checked it was abandoned and no one is maintaining a fork either.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
FYI from the newest release notes for 10.11.0
Jellyfin now actively checks the available free space for its configuration and data directories. If you have less than 2GB of free space in each data directory, Jellyfin now refuses to start to prevent data corruption. Additionally, checks are implemented to prevent certain path misconfigurations that are known to cause issues. - Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
I actually registered my unused landline for the signal rest api account a long time ago, been using that one for all kinds of automated notifications for over a year.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve set up Uptime Kume this weekend, monitoring everything from Docker containers, network devices (like IPcams, switches, printers, …), wireguard tunnels, etc etc. (I habe 65 monitors set up so far) and a Signal rest api for notifications.
Furthermore, I integrated multiple new ESPHome switches into my Home Assistant setup for cable model reset, alarm system controller reset, etc.

Hey don’t be so mean to shit stains, at least they can be easily removed!
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 5 weeks ago:
Pangolin is free for non commercial self-hosting purposes and used quite intensively in the Jellyfin community.

Headscale is essentially a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Tailscale’s control server, enabling creation of a private WireGuard-based mesh VPN network. It lets you use Tailscale clients while running your own control server, focusing on secure device-to-device connections without exposing open ports. It requires a server with a public IP for the control server but does not natively manage reverse proxy or authentication for web services.
-
Pangolin is a more complete self-hosted solution built on WireGuard and Traefik, combining VPN tunneling with a modular reverse proxy and authentication management. It provides centralized management with role-based access control, 2-factor authentication, automated SSL via Let’s Encrypt, and can expose multiple private networks or services through secure tunnels without needing to open firewall ports. It includes a web UI and plugins for security features like WAF, API, and OAuth2/OIDC identity providers.

You also don’t want to be tied to Tailscale, another US company.
Take a look at Pangolin instead.

Same here, I have the 4800 Plus and immediately installed TrueNAS when I got it. Has been running flawlessly since March.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 month ago:
Databases on sd cards are a nightmare for sd card lifetimes. I would really recommend getting at least a USD SSD stick instead if you want to keep it compact.
Your SD card will die suddenly someday in the near future otherwise.
- Comment on Scottish Government considers quitting X following owner Elon Musk’s use of platform to incite violence 2 months ago:
Do it. Everyone in their right mind should.
Everyone who reads this and still has an X account needs to do some souls searching as to why. If you just keep it to read some particular posts consider using a nitter instance instead.

I have a Seagate 105 Megabyte IDE drive from 1992 that is still working perfectly fine in my 386DX-33 RetroPC.
- Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? 2 months ago:
No one location has DSL and the other 5G. Both have around 200 Mbits but thats totally fine.
Ot’s completely indistinguishable from my main location and nobody can see I am using VPN.
- Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? 2 months ago:
I have 10 GBit Fiber :)
- Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing? 2 months ago:
I do live at 3 locations in 2 countries for work reasons and have a wireguard VPN server at my primary home that acts as a gateway for all my traffic, not only because of streaming but also because my bank locked me out for suspicious behavior before.
No issues with this setup, I can only recommend it. I also have a centralized NAS this way and all my home assistant instances are interconnected.

Stop posting YouTube videos for everything without a summary. Nobody ants to watch a 30 minute video for something that can be summed up in a 250 word article.
- Comment on Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider? 2 months ago:
Look into self hosting pangolin on VPS. I have it hosted at infomaniak.ch - it’s basically a self hosted cloudflare tunnel, so you are bot exposing your IP. These days this is absolutely preferred over using dyndns and exposing your IP.
- Comment on Jellyswarrm - reverse proxy all your Jellyfin servers from a single interface, presenting as a standard Jellyfin server, clients should work out of the box. 2 months ago:
I constantly have issues with Sonarr or Radarr overwriting French originals with horribly dubbed versions because I have English as the default language, same for German originals.
I would just love a way that would always prefer the original language if it’s one of the languages I speak - but that’s currently not possible.

Nice, this might finally allow me to have an English, German and French Library without having conflicts all the time.

Naw, actually Palantir AI is analyzing all data it has collected about you and predicts the likelihood that you will do something disruptive to the oligarchy. If you’re determined to be a threat to Elon you will be exterminated!

VPN cascading is the term you’re looking for. Yes, it’s possible with wireguard.
- Comment on High on snus in school: The hidden nicotine pouches shredding teens' gums 3 months ago:
Cigarette buds are toxic too, but if ingested they’re far less harmful than Snus - which are literally pouches of nicotine, while cigarette buds are filters laced with nicotine and tar residue.

German speaker here, we call weather Wetter for a reason.

They harm animals though, people spit them out everywhere and animals ingest them.
