Yes, or if you find a solution you can post it here for preservation. I’ve posted some guides and info that i pulled from Reddit onto here because the way things are going, I can’t guarantee that information will still be available in a years time.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 3 days ago:
It’s a program that uses an SDR to pick up the signals broadcasted by planes (ADS-B) containing their flight information. Then the data gets uploaded to an aggregator (FR24, Flight Aware, ADS-B Exchange) that gives a global view of all planes in the sky.
You can use the aggregators for free without uploading, but you get some perks for being a contributor. I just do it because it’s cool and I use the platforms for getting info on flights I’m taking (you can tell if your flight is gonna be delayed if the plane is delayed elsewhere for example).
- Comment on New York Mayor Eric Adams to Crypto Industry: Come Build an Empire in NYC 4 days ago:
Elections are coming up, Adams is extremely unpopular in the city and I expect him to get voted out. Unfortunately, We have Andrew Cuomo trying to regain some of the power he once had, but I don’t think his chances are great outside of name recognition.
Personally, I’m not registered in NYC but everyone I know there is putting their support behind Zohran Mamdani.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 5 days ago:
I took an old pi and threw a flight tracker on there. Now i have premium accounts on FR24, FlightAware, and ADS-B Exchange.
I have a few other pis which run other stuff though, my favorite thing to do is install nginx proxy manager and tailscale, then use it as an entry point to my network (this was born out of my main server being a bit unstable, which i have since fixed but kept NPM off of it because the pi is pretty much set and forget)

- Comment on Suspected 4chan Hack Could Expose Longtime, Anonymous Admins 4 weeks ago:
Exactly this, but to be clear he used his personal email account on one forum where he made a post promoting it in the early days. Everything else was solid and, if they hadn’t found the post, I don’t think they would have been able to link him.
A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link and if the admin logs are descriptive enough, then it would only take one mistake to take down the metaphorical tower of cards.

Unfortunately no, but if you don’t care about it being metal then yes they make a red one!

I don’t have a problem with the tip being wobbly, but it’s definitely a concern. I think its just a problem that you would get with any retractable tip pencil.
IMO, even if it did wobble, it’s worth the inconvenience. I used to have a mechanical pencil with a non-retractable tip & one drop ruined it.

Love to see it! Your eraser game needs some leveling though 😋, may I introduce you to this bad boy:

- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
Ehhh i don’t think that justifies having people pay to stream, i doubt a lot of people even ever used that functionality and yeah they could have just pay walled it if it was that much of a problem.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
Final thought: there’s also a fair chance (I’d rate it at almost 70%) that they presented this to us because they knew it would piss people off. Then, in a week or so, they will post a “we’re sorry, is this better?” with the changes they’re ACTUALLY going to make. A ploy to make us blindly agree to whatever they want because “at least it’s better than what they wanted originally” 🙄🙄
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
The audacity of this company to increase prices when: A) downloads are locked behind the paywall but havent worked in years (probably close to a decade at this point) B) they focus all the development time on bringing bullshit to the platform (live tv, rentals, other streaming app searches, etc)
Requiring a subscription for remote access is actually fucking insane, they don’t have any bandwidth costs associated with that other than authentication so ???
This will drive people to Jellyfin, and watch how fast Plex drops into irrelevance when all the selfhosters move away. Plex is (now was) the #1 thing to that both myself and others in this community would recommend to someone looking to get into selfhosting. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ not anymore, wonder how much the revenue will drop?
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 2 months ago:
$1k for the base isn’t horrible IMO, especially if you compare it to something like the mac mini starting at $600 and ballooning over $1k to increase to 32GB of “unified memory” and 1tb of storage.
I get why people are mad about the non-upgradable memory but tbh I think this is the direction the industry is going to go as a whole. They can’t get the memory to be stable and performant while also being removable. It’s a downside of this specific processor and if people want that they should just build a PC
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Ahhh i gotcha, so basically it forwards traffic through the pi so that you can send traffic through tailscale on devices that don’t support it? Sounds like a cool idea tbh
Good on ya for the tailscale/syncthing though, off-site backups are super important! If Jellyfin supported federation you could merge your library and your parents library and have it all accessible through each of your local instances. Maybe one day they’ll add it, i think it would be a killer feature.
Glad the write-up helped though, it should at least help you move towards single instances (at least for immich) since you can just backup on tailscale via the dns entry!
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Glad to help, yes that is a perfect example of how you could use this to your benefit. Much easier to just tell people to enable VPN (tailscale) and navigate to an easy to remember URL.
I’m somewhere in the middle, I do cybersecurity professionally so i work a lot with technical stuff but my hobbies are much deeper in it so theres a lot of stuff i don’t know. But, thanks to these communities i was able to learn how to do a lot of things and have now levelled up into doing the research on my own and trying to give back :)
In your dream scenario, is that each family member would be hosting immich/jellyfin on their pi zero? Or is the pi zero somehow routing traffic for them back to your server for jellyfin and immich?
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Happy to help!
Side note, if you want to make publicly available services, you could use cloudflare tunnels. They work in a similar way – letting your services be accessible over the Internet without needing to open ports. Some other people in the comments have mentioned that Tailscale funnel can also work for this, but i haven’t used it so I can’t really advise on that front
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Just looked it up, seems to pretty cool. Does it only work with one service though? You proxy one port to your tailscale domain name, but does it do routing for additional ports at the same time?
I’ve only done surface level research into it, and honestly didn’t come across this when i was doing the research for NGINX Proxy Manager, but it seems a little limited in comparison.
Happy to be proven wrong though, any easy solution is a good solution :)
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
That does work great, but when I’m on mobile i find it a lot easier to just go straight to the service rather than using a dashboard (although i have one set up)
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Interesting, i didn’t know that but that is definitely something worth looking into if you need it for your usecase:
Personally, I use a cloudflare tunnel for that. I’ll probably end up checking out tailscale funnel at some point for fun though
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
To my understanding, yes! I touched on it in the post but since tailscale is a VPN that doesn’t require open ports to access other devices in the tailnet, you don’t need to worry about CGNAT
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Same thing,
CNAME:
- -> @
Which translates to:
-
-> example.org
-
Is a wildcard DNS character, basically meaning any subdomain will get forwarded to the root domain
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Where? All the keys in the screenshots are sample keys
First SS: its 012344567abc repeated Second SS: it just says yourapikeyhere
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
Yes, that is the intention. I suppose I probably could have just edited it to read ‘example.org’. But, it’s the shorthand notation @ refers to your domain name.
So the A record @ -> [Tailscale IP]
which DNS translates to example.org -> [Tailscale IP]
- Comment on Set up Tailscale with NGINX Proxy Manager 6 months ago:
🫡 just doing my part, when i set it up it was a lot of digging through documentation and videos (the information is there, but it definitely requires some commitment in the research lol). Wanted to make something that gives it all in one go & helps the community out :)
Honestly, this is probably the enhancement to my homelab which has yielded the greatest QoL improvement. Prior to this, I would have to remember port numbers for every service and every ip address that i have something running on (and as my lab has expanded, this has become a lot more challenging).
