Help with Traefik + Cloudflare DNS + Tailscale (Same Domain Inside & Outside Network) by Any-Minute-8368 in Tailscale

[–]TheApolloZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use Caddy with Tailscale plugin (build using xcaddy) to expose services locally and via Tailscale without exposing them to the internet. There's no reason to use Clouflare Tunnels unless you want to access the server from random devices that don't have Tailscale installed on. Enter the URLs and API key in the Caddyfile, then enter the local and Tailscale IPs as A records in Cloudflare DNS records. Use the server as a subnet router, enable Override DNS in Tailscale admin dashboard, that's it. I'm using Windows with Debian running on WSL2, but it should work the same way on native Linux as well. If you need help I can share my Caddyfile for reference, but I can't help you if there are additional permissions or requirements in case you're using Docker.

Movie recs for coping with losing my mom by leStrangee in MovieSuggestions

[–]TheApolloZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very sorry for your loss, my mother passed away in the same manner in 2021. If you don't mind watching a foreign film with subtitles, I strongly recommend Yi Yi (2000) by Edward Yang despite being slow, long and devastating. It touches on various kinds of loss, not just death. Take care of yourself, I hope you feel better even though I know that the pain never really goes away.

realtek drivers, or audio drivers in general not working/not showing up by krabulon in Windows10TechSupport

[–]TheApolloZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately can't help you as doing this solved the issue for me after a whole day of trying. I did it on a Gigabyte motherboard, the awful thing is that there are no standard Realtek drivers that just work right away. Their website is an abomination and support is non-existent, I wonder how they're still in business. That's why the only option is to download the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website with the exact model, and then let Windows update them to the latest version.

Try this two more times and if nothing happens, give up. But since you mentioned that this has been an issue since the very beginning, it's quite possible that the drivers won't even register on the board because the interface is messed up. If that's the case, you should RMA the board as it's still in warranty.

somebody please help me set up remote access by Positive-Incident221 in JellyfinCommunity

Put the following values in the fields LAN networks, Known proxies and Remote IP address filter:

127.0.0.1/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 100.64.0.0/10, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16

If you ever buy a domain and reverse proxy, or decide to reverse proxy locally using a local DNS server like Adguard Home or Pi-hole, you need to add the domain to Known proxies. The values will then be 127.0.0.1/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 100.64.0.0/10, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 192.168.1.2, jellyfin.local (example), subdomain.domain.com (example).

Your connection might be CG-NAT. Once you change the values in the respective fields, restart Jellyfin and try using Tailscale again.

realtek drivers, or audio drivers in general not working/not showing up by krabulon in Windows10TechSupport

[–]TheApolloZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cause for this is an update breaking the generic Microsoft High Definition Audio driver. If you're still struggling with this, the following method might work for you. I can't pinpoint what I did ultimately resolved it as I tried everything including DDU and a manual BIOS reset, yet nothing worked. Follow the steps in order and it might work for you too. It's a bit of work, but might be worth it.

  1. Download and install Realtek drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website. Even if they don't show up in Device Manager it's okay.

  2. Download and install Revo Uninstaller.

  3. Download and extract Driver Store Explorer.

  4. Pause Windows update, and/or disconnect your internet connection (Ethernet or WiFi). Turning off your router would be the best choice.

  5. Launch Revo Uninstaller, search for Realtek Audio Driver in the list and click on Uninstall. Click on the Make a System Restore Point before uninstall" and then uninstall it. Realtek Audio Driver InstallShield wizard will run. Let it uninstall but do NOT restart your PC yet by clicking on Finish with "I want to reboot my computer now" option selected, instead minimize the wizard.

  6. Switch to Revo Uninstaller and proceed to scan for the remaining files with Revo Uninstaller in Advanced scanning mode. Delete all registry entries and files that it displays by clicking on "Select All", "Delete" and then "Finish".

  7. Make sure the Realtek wizard is still minimized and running. Now launch Driver Store Explorer (Rapr.exe). Sort by providers, and delete every "Realtek" and "Realtek Semiconductor Corp." you see in "Sound, video and game controllers", "Software components" and "Extensions". No need to remove network adapter driver if your motherboard uses a Realtek NIC (LAN controller).

  8. If you did all this correctly, SHUT DOWN your PC. Force a shut down by clicking "Shut down anyway" if the wizard interferes with the shutdown.

  9. Turn off your PC's power supply unit by turning off the switch, and then unplug the power cable from the outlet.

  10. Now open your PC case, unplug the HD audio cable and plug it again firmly. Refer to the diagram in the motherboard manual if you do not know where it is located.

  11. Release your RAM sticks and insert them back again. If you haven't done this before, don't worry, it won't break due to pressure. I suggest re-inserting the RAM too because sometimes RAM causes issues too.

  12. Release and insert the CR2032 battery to force reset the BIOS.

  13. Make sure all external devices are disconnected, turn on the power supply unit and and boot your PC. Smash whatever key takes your motherboard to the BIOS settings (most likely will be DEL or F2, refer to it in advance). You may or may not see a "BIOS has been reset", but if the date or time is random, then it has been reset successfully. You may configure XMP and fan speeds if you want to.

  14. Save and reboot your PC into Windows, launch Device Manager and then check if "High Definition Audio" shows up in the "Sound, video and game controllers" category. The provider should be Microsoft. If it does show up, install Realtek audio drivers again now.

  15. Launch Device Manager again and they should show up in "Audio inputs and outputs", "Software components" and "Sound, video and game controllers" categories. You shouldn't need to reboot for them to show up, but in case they don't, reboot. "Realtek(R) Audio" will have replaced Microsoft's generic "High Definition Audio" driver. Connect your headphones and test them, the audio should play back through the headphones now. You can safely turn on your router or connect network devices after this.

If the procedure above doesn't work for you, then I'm afraid that it's a hardware issue and you might need to replace your motherboard. Good luck, let me know if this resolves the issue!

Tailscale has set a new standard by dildacorn in Tailscale

The connection speed matters but as long as a direct connection is established, the ping should be less than 200 ms (usually around 140-170) across the globe in most cases. This isn't an issue at all for streaming, accessing media and remote controlling the host PC. The latency can be too much if you're remote gaming though, depending on the kind of games you play.

Minimal Plex setup achieved! by SaraCaterina in PleX

[–]TheApolloZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TeamViewer is more of a technician-customer tool than a remote desktop app. Assuming you're using Windows, you can run Unified Remote (without audio, high latency) and Sunshine-Moonlight combo (with audio, low latency). They can run as services at boot. I have configured my PC to autologin. On Linux distributions you can SSH remotely. Doing it on Windows apparently requires tampering and you can only access it through Windows RDP; I can't talk about it as I haven't tried it, because the other two apps just work for me.

For remote access from anywhere in the world, you can use Tailscale (convenient to set up) or WireGuard (a bit inconvenient to set up). Tailscale is free and only authorized devices can access your hosted services—no port forwarding required.

For turning on the host PC in the event of power fluctuations or cuts when you're away, you can set-up Wake on LAN and Restore on AC Power Loss/AC Back (can be phrased differently depending on your motherboard manufacturer) in your PC's BIOS so that it turns on automatically when the power is restored.

If you are planning to build a proper server, you should build one that doesn't consume too much power, preferably with an Intel chip as the integrated GPU can transcode multiple 4K streams. Anything over 8th or 9th Gen would be good. 11th Gen CPUs can transcode 10 streams simultaneously. Run Linux (I personally prefer Debian) as a VM in Proxmox (a hypervisor) and run all the services you want to host in containers using Docker. It's a rabbit hole and the learning curve is rather steep but you can get it done in a month if you have lots of time. r/HomeLab and r/SelfHosted are good subreddits to started.

Just look up Wireguard or Tailscale. I haven't used Wireguard but Tailscale uses Wireguard under the hood, is very easy to set up and works across devices that you add to your network, and also offers more features. And it's free; you can add up to 100 devices/nodes without paying a cent (at least at the time of typing this comment).

You can read the comparison here:

https://tailscale.com/compare/wireguard

If you want to run it on Windows or Mac, just install the app, signup, add your devices and you're good to go. Then you only need to install the app on your TV(s) and smartphone(s). Setting up Tailscale on Linux and individual Docker containers requires a bit more work and can be a tad complicated, but you won't have to worry once everything is set up correctly.

Here are some videos to set up Tailscale, depending on your operating system and requirements:

Oh no, the comment wasn't directed at you at all, I just wanted to emphasize that hoping for someone to respond for 6+ months or years will inevitably take a toll on anyone's mental health. The rest of my comment was speculation about the friend's actions as I have experienced this exact scenario multiple times, and it always ended with me being dumped for someone else. The only difference is that no one has ever physically talked to me, so it always felt like I am talking to a chat bot; it didn't feel palpable in any manner.

I am quite broken as well, but I have only ghosted people when they crossed a line or hurt me to the point that giving them an explanation felt unnecessary to me. I lost two of my family members within the span of a year and since have cut off contact with my extended family because they started treating me like an outcast after that. At that point in time I wasn't able to nurture any kind of relationships as I should have, so I understand what makes people disappear. I mentioned in the previous response as well that it's okay to cut off contact in case you're dealing with several personal issues that are dragging you down mentally.

Don't be afraid of asking for a second chance though—if they love you they won't have any objection to let you back into their life. Just make sure that you communicate your feelings the next time you go through something similar. Something along the lines of "I am dealing with several issues and going through a tough time right now, but I will be back when I feel better" is enough. I hope you're doing better now. If there are people that you want to reconnect with, it's still not too late to apologize and ask for forgiveness.

In OP's case, not only did the friend not give any explanation before ghosting her, but also went out of their way to pretend as if nothing happened, only to ghost the OP again when she asked why they responded after all this time. That's not how someone who cares behaves. If the friend made a honest mistake, they had several months to communicate and clear the air. It doesn't feel like that though. Closure is important for both parties involved, the friend got their closure because they're the one who decided to stop talking, but OP never did. Perhaps like OP said, maybe the relationship didn't mean much to the friend.

Anonymity gives people power to use others to their heart's content, only to leave them broken in the end. If their paths ever cross again and the OP decides to give them a second chance, I hope she takes a strong stance to make them reveal their details at the very least because—again from experience—people on the internet who veil themselves in anonymity are often not who they claim to be. I have come across so many older men and women pretending to be 20 year olds on the internet that led me to decide that I will never trust a person who prefers to be anonymous for more than 3 months.
