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:

This.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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).
