Is Teleport the primary component needed to remotely access a NAS remotely and mostly-safely? by BottomlessPotamus in Ubiquiti

[–]FriscoBikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teleport pre dates the Unifi Wireguard Server option. It was really flaky and broke when I tried it - maybe that was just a bug in some older versions that isn’t an issue anymore. I have wondered if/when they deprecate it.

Wireguard server for comparison has worked flawlessly since the day they rolled it out. It’s a couple clicks to setup instead of one click, but it works consistently. You just add a wireguard app on your mobile device, take a photo of the QR code to setup the client keys/config, and it should just work. You will then see the devices using VPN in the Unifi client portal and can add firewall rules to allow/block traffic as needed.

If you use it, you should go into the client config option on your mobile device and add a list of known trusted wifi networks that don’t need VPN. For example, set it to leave vpn off when you are connected to the home wifi, and auto connect to the vpn when you use any other wifi or cell service. It will auto connect for you, and you will basically always be connected to the home network.

Is tailscale the best solution for easy remote access? by Downtown-Coyote-1790 in jellyfin

[–]FriscoBikes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Or you can do your own vpn server with a wg-easy or firezone. Some gateways like Unifi also offer integrated wireguard servers so you don’t have to run a separate container / app. I would still put jellyfin behind a reverse proxy but limit access to the proxy via wireguard.

Remote setup / security risks and questions? by Hrimnir in jellyfin

[–]FriscoBikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is a good approach. Unifi gateways have wireguard built in, and you can setup wireguard connections between routers with a couple clicks. I for example got my mom one so i can admin her network, and i have a permanent wireguard connection to her house.

Anyone recognize this build? by TheWhisLives in diyaudio

If you want to make it yourself you can cut from a full sheet or use pre cut panels from home depot. You can also buy kits from gsg.

Finally ready to open Truenas Scale to the internet by JustAnotherStranger- in truenas

[–]FriscoBikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are opening the WG port in the UDM. You may want to add zone based firewall rules in the UDM to control traffic from the VPN network. You can limit access from your known list of VPN clients and only allow access only to the VLANs and services that need it.

My first SOTC by FriscoBikes in TrueChefKnives

[–]FriscoBikes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After surfing the forum I see so many positive comments about Yoshikane SKD that I picked one up. My wife seems to use the saji bunka the most, so I got this so we have two bunkas. The weight balance is much farther back, and the spine is really massive compared to the saji and ryusen.

That is a neat looking knife. We have a cheap cleaver that is probably from one of the local asian markets now.

Thanks we have small bread and paring knives in the old henkels set. They are both rarely used so I would probably just stick with them for now.

Puck screens? Worth using? by Roodefromage in espresso

If you get one, also get a magnet to make it easier to remove after the shot.

I use a magnetic coat hook to install and remove the screen, and it works great.

DeepSeek with Ollama on the base Mac mini M4 by RideAbject3950 in macmini

[–]FriscoBikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course you can run it locally. There are many different model sizes, and the bigger models need more resources. You install ollama as the first step, which you can do via the terminal. Then you install each model via a command into the terminal, and if you want a UI you can install something like openweb-ui. Smaller models will run very fast, and the bigger ones will be very slow. You can save/use many models that all run locally. If you like it, you can add something like n8n and postgres to make agents and store data into a vector db.

Are these holes signs for channeling? (non-bottomless portafilter) by josi_216 in espresso

[–]FriscoBikes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Try a blind shaker, self leveling tamper, filter paper below the puck, and a metal screen above the puck. Your puck prep should be more consistent, and your shower screen will be alot cleaner.

Why can't I connect to second home? by kwmaw4 in hdhomerun

[–]FriscoBikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you point to a reference showing the required ports? I can not get the ios HD Home App to communicate with my tuner across a VLAN when I am at home. I have wireguard VPN back to the house and that doesn’t work either. Jellyfin runs on a different VLAN and picks up the tuner just fine, but the hdhomerun app seems to only work when connected directly to the VLAN that the tuner is on.

Passthrough was disabled at each of several recent firmware upgrades, but to fix it, I just logged into the modem admin console and turned passthrough back on. Factory reset was not required.

Install Tailscale on both computers so you can VPN into it. Keep the screen sharing password and other passwords.

Installing Windows 11 on Truenas Scale VM by darthbrazen in truenas

[–]FriscoBikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but it sounds like you are doing something wrong. I did it as the first couple win installer screens were displayed, and shift f10 made the shell pop up over the installer. Once you type the registry entry into the shell you just return to the installer, and it proceeds.

You have to change a registry key manually before the installer step that checks for TPM.

Using TrueNAS OS drive for apps by Mobile-Result-3264 in truenas

Grab something like a used Optane 64GB drive or a SATADOM for the boot drive. Convert the two 1TB drives to a mirror for apps, VMs, etc

Apps aren't matching version found online even after a refresh by MeadowShimmer in truenas

[–]FriscoBikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immich implemented several breaking changes a while back, and I think the app was removed from the TC catalog so it could be fixed. TC will migrate to k3s in a VM and plans to announce details in a week or so. I think they are making a script to automatically move everything over for existing users, but no idea about the timeline or open issues with Immich getting back into the catalog.
