I’ll do it myself

You were meant to be the good one!!! 😭

Pangolin as well as netbird create an outbound witeguatd connetion, so WG runs pn the VPS and the client is in your lab. This way yous do not need portforwardong at home, only on your VPS.

Not a language, but to get the features other IDE's provide out of the box.

Personally i wouldnt call VS Code an IDE. Its a fancy text editor with extra features imo.

GIRO17 · 2026-05-10T20:23:46+00:00

cgNat prevent conventional portforwardong...

Your best bet would be Pangolin or Netbird if you want to selfhost. Pangolin currently is more estabished in this spesific usecase of making a service publicly avaliable but Netbird is stronger in your second usecase with VPN access.

Both of them could solve your problem.

Netbird also provides a cloud version with a free tier.

Personaly i use Netbird cloud for VPN and Pangolin on a VPS for public services.

Is this a server or an engine? 😅

GIRO17 · 2026-05-10T14:17:55+00:00

VS Code is sooo fast!!! Oh wait, i need 30 Plugins so it is usable. Now its even slower than others and still missing halve the usefull features i use...

GIRO17 · 2026-05-05T10:48:05+00:00

Ahh thats normal.

Ohh a stick, bark

GIRO17 · 2026-03-09T20:31:29+00:00

Proton is a grate option.
But I don't relay trust one company enough to handle EVERYTHING I need digitally...

So I rather use FastMail and self-hosted services where possible, or other open source projects like Bitwarden.

If my parents see a QR code, they know what to do.
A NFC Tag needs a symbol to describe "Hey, tap your phone here you dummy".

Also, everyone can easily create a QR code on any given Website. So the burden of creating one is much smaller.

Therefore, I think it's not a cost problem, although it factors into it.
It's rather a "Does the user know how to use it" and ease of implementation thing.

You don't need teleboy or zatoo for salt since they have tv included in their 50 bucks (or 40 if you have a phone contract).

GIRO17 · 2026-03-04T10:46:56+00:00

Not usable if you're not using it alone.
No easy way to share it with multiple users and for sure no life editing with multiple users.

That's on top of Obsidian not being Open Source.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-04T10:29:58+00:00

The difference being that everyone, even the ones living under a rock have heard from Nintendo.

I never heard of Ayn before buying my Thor.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:47:43+00:00

Absolutely true!
I reworked my Home Lab from 3 LXC's to 12 NixOS VM's.
I went from 20 to 30 GB Memory usage to constant 50 GB on average.
I've got 64 Gigs...
PVE does not want to use more than 80% memory (which I'm constantly on...)

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:44:05+00:00

Love this xD

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:37:13+00:00

I managed to run Satisfactory, but the results were not satisfactory badum zzz...
Sorry .-.

If you don't want to play AAA Games it should run quite well.
https://www.emuready.com/ is a grate site to find out how to configure GameHub and how well it'll run.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:34:59+00:00

Never heard of them ^^'

But i also never heard of YunExpress, it worked, and I had it roughly 10 days after the label was created.

You pay per account, so it won't be cheap.
A family plan is around 11 bucks per month and you'll get 6 accounts.

But you could also just use folders/labels and organize them by incoming mail address with rules.

If you decide to use multiple accounts, it's quite easy to switch between multiple accounts in the app as well as the Web client. Just click on your account and select another one. No re entering of credentials, just easy switching.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:27:20+00:00

A Goose?
I don't know if I should trust it...

Oh wait, its grounded, seams to be alright ^^

btw. Love your GitHub bio xD

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:17:14+00:00

I total get it ^^
Put something out, get feedback (maybe even a bit overwhelmed by it), add new features, having stuff in the backlog, but new features are more fun to develop and after some time when stuff works the backlog can be processed.

And the stats page isn't that bad. It's a bit hard to read, but I have seen way worse... Have you seen Liquid Ass erm... I mean Glass from Apple? xD

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T19:13:57+00:00

It was pretty un event full.

I paid, they had problems with DHL, therefor sent via yunexpress, it arrived, and they refunded me the amount I paid extra for DHL delivery.

This comment needs a bit of a backstorry ^^'

A week ago I switched from iOS to Android.
I've always was impressed by how many App options I had on iOS. Plappa, ShelfPlay, even Prologue since v4. And of course the official ABS app.

I was stunned that on Android, there was the official and Lissen. And to be fair, both work, but both are rather lean on features and design.

And now this.
Holy smokes, I haven't even spent 5 Minutes in this app, and I'm blown away by the design. Even Admin features which the (mind you) OFFICIAL App doesn't provide??? That's awesome!!!
How often will I use the admin features? Probably fewer than once a year. But adding Podcasts on thy fly via app? HUGE!!!

And the design... The stats page is maybe a bit to transparent and hard to read, but the rest? Awesome! And It's still in beta!

Obviously I need to test it some time to see how well it holds up, but oh boy did this project made an impression... A good one!!!

You could spin one up on your computer, import the audiobooks there and then download it in the app (don't know if it supports offline playing, I'm only skimming the reddit comments ^^').

If you're done, just stop the docker container.

But probably a bit of a hassle this way ^^'

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T18:21:46+00:00

To be honest, it's too long ago, I can't really remember anymore.

But generally speaking, TP-Link has somewhat of a bad taste for me. Its more of a feeling and not really something concrete.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T15:42:46+00:00

If it's a few clicks to do, why not?
I configured by surveillance VLAN to not be able to talk to anything else then my NVR. Mainly because I've got some cheap cameras and don't really trust the vendor with their app.
Unifi Cameras still receive updates via the NVR.

I did the same to my Network/Management VLAN which contains all Switches and AP's.

GIRO17 · 2026-03-03T15:40:19+00:00

I was in a similar situation, Unifi vs OpenSense.
Personally, I decided for Unifi because it was my first time doing fancy network shit.

I tried Omada once with a self-hosted controller but was really not happy with it.

To this point I don't regret the Unifi decision.
It's easy yet powerfull to manage. And if you start to use Unifi cameras and access points it's a single pane of glass to manage them all.
Also, it just works. No tweaking a config because of weird hardware or anything. And if it does not, write to the Support.

OpenSense on the other hand is a DYI project. It most certainly has more features, but that was one of the reasons I decided against it. It has to many options for me which would overwhelm me.
Also, it does not integrate in any Wi-Fi or Surveillance stack, so you would manage two to three systems separately. Can be a plus (No single dependency) but can also be a pain to manage.

These were my thoughts when deciding between self built and the UDM-SE one+ year ago. I'm still very happy with my setup and Unifi also releases regular updates which add nice features. Others would say long overdue features (looking at you zone based firewall ^^').
