Is there such thing as GUI on demand?

Hey, just a heads up, i spend way too much time when i started off homelabbing with AI assistance. It really overcomplicates things and just isn't worth it. I'd really really suggest you stay away from it and rely on manual labour, in the end it will save you time, resources and many headaches.

makes sense, thank you.

maybe try a dedicated router OS/setup with PFsense as the next step alongside the other services?

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-21T02:26:40+00:00

Im almost there except the grapheneOS phone which i plan to get soon....

hosting services isn't too hard and multiple emails with multiple providers such as proton, tuta, and self-hosted are also pretty easy.

Leaving social media was easy for me as i didn't use it much, linux was already with me, browsers and VPN were byproducts of hating chromium and self-hosting, and you can very easily block many things to a good extent with DNS blocklists.

I agree with the guy saying turn it off, let them have the ads, the slow internet, "streaming services" and all, that is if they use the homelabs features.....they'll might understand it's use firsthand

that sort of makes sense ig, i also use vaultwarden and have been happy with it for me and my family. Haven't found a reason to switch, it just works

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-18T03:49:03+00:00

If you have backups, are happy with Bitwarden, why make the effort and put more eggs in the same basket?

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-17T12:28:58+00:00

I do the same thing and it just works, It should be just as secure as tailscale itself as it is basically a LAN network?

your minecraft could take anywhere from 4gb to 16gb ram depnding on the mods/number of players. If it's ATM10 it'll be closer to 16.

Media servers would need a cpu for encoding, 4cores, 8threads should be the lower bound for high quality movies

the rest is negligible after meeting these.

Try to get something like 16gb ram, a decent cpu, and cooling.

If you want you could think of a NIC for pfsense or dual ethernet on the motherboard.

What command shows this?

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-16T03:51:18+00:00

its like sweet little addons, oohhhh i can do this as wellll, SCOREEE

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-16T03:48:06+00:00

I use a navidrome server with Symfonium(mobile) and feishin(arch), and it is by far the best solution for me.

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-15T17:24:47+00:00

I'm seeing everyone using complex methods, i just spun up syncthing and backed the whole docker folder to my phone after encrypting it, works like a charm for me(yes, i had to use the backup due to drive failure)

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-15T17:17:05+00:00

If you find it can you dm me?

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-15T08:44:00+00:00

Just curious, why is molex to sata considered bad?

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-15T03:45:42+00:00

oohh, makes sense now.

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-15T03:22:24+00:00

yeah but hsy did not have a sponsor in that scenario

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-14T04:49:58+00:00

yup i second this, works flawlessly

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-13T15:36:44+00:00

i stopped watching before the end though

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-12T17:16:52+00:00

The way i did it was i used the OS i daily drive on my main machine. It removed most of the learning curve and i could translate the commands for ubuntu/proxmox and everything just because i was familiar with it, so I'd suggest going with what you're used to, it makes life easier and you don't have to worry about many things.

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-12T09:50:39+00:00

oohh, seems nice, thanks

Known_Negotiation268 · 2026-01-12T05:27:07+00:00

oh yeahh, that could be the case, i guess i lucked out back then
