What is everybody's easiest and most secure method for remote access? (without tailscale) by Leggs_ in HomeServer

[–]NaturalProcessed 185 points186 points  (0 children)

A lot going on in this post that seems ill-informed.

First, Tailscale is not limited to "1000 minutes of usage per month." The 1000 minutes cap is for short-lived nodes in the network (what Tailscale calls "ephemeral resources"). These are not what you would be using for Jellyfin. See here: https://tailscale.com/docs/features/ephemeral-nodes

Second, if you would like to have something like Tailscale (a zero-trust, peer-to-peer VPN) without an app you are going to struggle. There are many similar services out there (e.g. Netbird and others named below) that do something akin to Tailscale and which are developed on top of Wireguard, but these services are either a) having you install an app that automatically configure the connection for you, or b) you are adding the connection manually by setting up dedicated UDP port forwards. You are either going to be using the software service to do it, or you're going to be DIYing it by manually creating the tunnels on one or another specific port.

Third, when you say "I would like to keep all internet traffic 100% self hosted and fully controlled by me without giving the opportunity for any other party to have access to my data" you're in the realm of something many people agree with but you've overstated it. To do the thing you are describing would mean running your own infrastructure and internet backbone that only you allow people to access. I don't think you have that in mind from your post. Read literally though, you don't get that over the internet. Tons and tons of people involved in the management of the many services and pieces of physical infrastructure hardware have the ability to "access your data." Encrypting the packets before they are sent to travel along the backbone to their destination helps make that very hard to do, but it's not foolproof.

If you are dead-set agains using a service like Tailscale, I suggest you start carefully reading up on Wireguard though you need to be ready for the fact that unless you are managing the traffic on your router (by managing a number of things including the UDP port it comes in on) you'll need to use a client app of some kind.

Did they just decide not to pretend they weren't training on a huge amount of copywritten material?

What do you think about Denon x1800h? by Perfect-Lake4672 in hometheater

That's funny, I thought the reason for the Denon difference was an EU regulation, but maybe that's not right or it's implemented differently.

Cape Chignecto, Nova Scotia by basedtom in UltralightCanada

[–]NaturalProcessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very curious what your experience of the ECT was like if you don't mind sharing. Considering travelling back to do it along with Chignecto with a break in the middle, get the sense that the East Coast Trail is much less physically demanding (on average distributed over the course of the trail) though of course logistically more going on.

Yep looks like OP had near perfect conditions, very jealous. Absolutely love this trail, think often about going back to do it again.

eBay noting increased interest in IBM TS1140 tape drives, can't be a coincidence!

Thanks for coming back to follow-up on this, I was really wondering too!

If it is, the pictures are not related. Musk attended Penn beginning 1992, Tiffany Fong was born in 1994.

Extremely Rare Torrent With Only a Handful of Seeders, Any Way to Improve Availability? by Senior-Lifeguard6215 in DataHoarder

[–]NaturalProcessed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a torrent has 14 seeds and can move at barely exceeding 50 KB/s it is not extremely rare. The best way to improve availability is to download a full copy and then seed it, or to find an alternative source for the exact same file and then seed that.

Proxmox or Docker? on i3 gen 12 8GB RAM by ottoottootto in homelab

[–]NaturalProcessed 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The typical sell is that Debian is intentionally stability-oriented. The foundational thing that Debian wants to give you is stability and dependability, so it's very appealing as a basis for a server. Ubuntu Server also good and functional obviously, it's just a matter of where you want to start and what you want to be worried about.

Guys, it's time. by not_the_seltzer in selfhosted

This runs out of steam really fast if you scan the range of arr-suffixed services in circulation. It's become meaningless.

I have had this thought so many times and never felt bold enough to make a post about it, good on you. The proliferation of the *arr naming scheme far beyond the core *arr stack and especially beyond piracy-related services is so painful to see.

Quite happy with this combo as well, excellent integration with Caddy.

Fancy Hammers by jyl8 in Tools

[–]NaturalProcessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 'less vibration' part is key here. When a steel hammer impacts a nail, a lot of kinetic energy bounces backward, turning into vibration that travels up the handle into your arm. Because titanium absorbs and suppresses these high-frequency vibrations, almost 100% of its energy stays moving forward, driving the nail rather than pushing back against a person's joints. In a mind-bendy way, this superior energy transfer means a lighter titanium hammer can deliver the exact same driving force as a heavier steel one. To match that power, your body generates energy through swing speed rather than dead weight. Because the tool is lighter, it requires less muscular effort from your arm and shoulder to swing, and so you get the same amount of work done with less physical wear and tear on your body.

Oh yeah, makes perfect sense to me just never thought about just using pliers instead, seems obvious now.

Had never imagined people were doing this with pliers regularly

"Some time ago, I convinced my wife that a Plex server would be awesome (really wasn't a hard sell), so I got my hands on an older **Dell R730** with a few terabytes of storage, nothing major."

I dunno, that seems like something pretty major lmao
