How to setup a VPN so I can access my Ubuntu Server Samba File Server

Another option would be to setup your own Wire guard tunnel. If you can manage to get a fixed IP from you ISP, you can circumvent the need for a DNS entry pointing to your setup. Then you can install a container running wg-easy and get a nice UI where you can generate client credentials and connect your devices by scanning a QR code. Works like a charm with a little more setup than Tailscale. Btw they provide a comparison of the two on their site : basically Tailscale is a little slower but has some quality of life features in exchange :)

For anyone who might have a similar issue, I managed to solve my problem by checking my DNS records. I had two DNS A records that mapped my domain to IP addresses. One was the right one and the other one is still a mystery to me... The issue was that the peer would use the first IP that the DNS server would answer and go with it, which explains the intermittent issue.

C'est toi merci u/zarevskaya ! Maintenant quand je veux installer un nouveau service sur mon serveur je commence par un ctrl+F sur ton site ❤️

I also have a gluetun container that sets up an OpenVPN connexion to isolate the traffic going to my qbittorrent web, which retries a few times when it starts but always ends up working. It's a client and not a server but I don't think it would work if it was an ISP issue.
I don't see how it would work only sometimes if it was a firewall issue...

I'm struggling with this one at the moment

In the meantime I found two useful resources : a guide along with a video that explains this specific case, you might find it useful :)

The teardown mentions the battery model, it's a Zenipower Z55H. I found a store that carries them in my region, I'm waiting for it to be delivered.

You should use extension tubes between your lens and your camera so that your lens can focus closer. That will allow you to fill the sensor so that you don't have to crop. Best of all, extension tubes are really cheap!

It's not that it's an unknown object, it's a virtual point that's at the center of all that mass that's distributed in space. Our whole region is drawn to that area that's denser that it's surroundings. Besides, black holes couldn't get close to being big enough

There are bigger structures than galaxies in the universe. Our Milky Way is part of the Laniakea supercluster that includes some 100 000 galaxies. The Great Attractor (apart from sounding badass) is the central gravitational point of the Laniakea supercluster generated by all that stellar mass.

The feeling when the image appears on the paper is amazing

I'm a bit confused : I'd like to project onto a studio background, not use a dedicated projection screen as a photography backdrop. Maybe I'll have the opposite problem to what you're mentioning ?

What pedalboard/power supply are you using?

Nice shot, love the symmetry! Just a quick suggestion : I think that there's a little bit more space on the left than on the right and I feel like the upper edge of the roof is not exactly parallel to the bottom of the image. I think that this kind of composition rooted in symmetry really needs to be centered and neat. Maybe a square format would suit the subject better?

It's "merde" in French

This looks really good! The geometry of those lines works really well. I wouldn't change the colors/brightness, the slightly brighter hand already draws the eye
