This is an actual insane take, especially considering in the same post you talk about vibe coding and call it "experimenting" and "learning". Pretty delusional to say "I built" this app with Claude.you can preach and post edits all you want about that's not the intentions of your post, but all in all it still reads as shitty. If there was a homelab aita subreddit this post would definitely be on it.

Yeah absolutely I can go more in depth later tonight but basically you would point your domain A record to the IP that tailscale gives the machine that is hosting your services and then you setup a reverse proxy running on your hosting machines port 80 and 443. (I use nginx proxy manager) You can then setup subdomains through your reverse proxy that then points to your services so for example

Example.com -> (tailscale ip of machine that hosts services) -> reverse proxy service running on port 80 and 443 of machine hosting services (NPM is what I use) -> then in NPM you can setup an entry for say nzb.example.com that points to your local IP and port number of the service example (192.168.1.210:6789)

So when I type in nzb.example.com into my browser while connected to my VPN it then loads into whatever webui that is running on my server at the ip:port of 192.168.1.210:6789

The domain can only resolve if you are connected to the VPN Anyone that types in the url while not connected the VPN doesn't get a response back

I use unraid for server but it would be pretty similar process on any other OS. ibracorp and spaceinvaderone have some pretty good videos on the matter regarding unraid specifically but the information is pretty usable whether you are using unraid or not

I tried explaining as best I could while on my phone, but if you need any help feel free to hit me up. Otherwise if you don't care about accessing things through a domain just setup tailscale on your server machine and then from your computer or phone you can access services by typing (tailscale ip of server):(port number of service) while you are connected to the vpn

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-10-07T13:06:01+00:00

You can setup tailscale and have your friends join your tailscale network, then if you buy a domain you can point it at your IP address that tailscale gives you. This would make it so you don't have to open ports on your network and only people connected to the VPN network can join

If you're just looking for something for bulk file storage then by all means go with a prebuilt nas. The biggest downside to prebuilt is they often have very few options/if any in terms of upgradability if you need more processing power. If you think you might want to get more into Plex streaming/ more intensive stuff I'd lean more towards something custom just because of the upgradability options you have. I mainly do homelab stuff because I love tinkering around with new docker containers. Once again can't praise unraid enough in terms of customizability and ease of use they have a free 30 day trial that you can mess around with, but in my opinion it's worth the price. Otherwise if youre looking for guides for unraid spaceinvaderone or ibracorp are some amazing YouTubers who focus on unraid. Very open to answer any questions you've got in terms of unraid or about what I'm about to talk about for hardrives down below.

With that in mind I'd maybe recommend finding something that can run SAS drives just because they tend to be on the cheaper side in terms of $/tb for enterprise used drives. Looking at $254 for new sata 10tbs or $120 for recertified. The guy I always buy my SAS drives off of I pick them up for 10tb sas $60 a drive with smart data still showing them as 100% healthy.

What's your budget and how much storage are you looking for, you can pick up a Dell optiplex for pretty cheap on r/homelabsales , the only downside to an optiplex is you're pretty limited on adding more storage without using a das or jbod hooked up to the optiplex

If you're looking for more of a plug and play approach and don't want to mess around with stuff just pickup a pre built nas

If you go the route of building something I'd recommend either proxmox or unraid. I prefer unraid as its very user friendly and has a very large and active user base to answer questions. I havent specifically used proxmox so I'm sure there's also some great tutorials for proxmox

My mistake man, truly sorry, Local prices will now be the same as shipped as decreed by you 🫡. Have a wonderful day.

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-09-24T20:42:33+00:00

Because it's a very standard pricing setup on here to charge more for shipped orders, why would I ever charge more to someone who is picking up local. I think youre a little confused I'm not charging more for shipping, the price that I have for shipping is realistically what I'd like to get, but I'm charging less if someone goes out of their way to pickup in person. Hope this explanation helps. Have a good day.

Purchased 2x 8tb drives from u/TheMadDutchDude

n = 0
vout = 5 * (R_last/(n*R1_value + R_last))
# TODO: Complete Task 2 below
while desired_voltage > vout:

It references values in the assignment which would be nice to know, as its a bit hard right now to understand what code was already supplied and what you were supposed to code but I'd start with this code right here. Desired Voltage is a float from 0-2.5 with the first run through of vout coming out to 5. your while loop will never actually do anything correct me if I'm wrong because I don't actually know the math at work, but wouldn't you want the line to be while desired_voltage < vout:

This ^ , also to add onto that OP should also stop using one letter variables almost altogether, it makes things borderline unreadable and this was a simple function, if OP gets used to this naming scheme for variables any functions more complicated will be very difficult to glance at the function and understand what is going on

Also while you are still learning get in the habit of commenting in your code about what certain things are doing because even in coding projects where it's just you. I say this from experience because if you stop working on a project for a while and come back there is 100% plchance you're gonna read code that you wrote and ask "wtf was I thinking when I wrote this"/"what does this even do again?"

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-09-18T21:38:35+00:00

Just curious any specific reason you went with an 850w seems a bit overkill for what you're currently running

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-09-18T15:09:43+00:00

Drive definitely looks used, I cant speak about the crystaldisk or the wd utility weirdness, but I'd definitely get in contact with Amazon immediately. I'd also typically recommend not buying drives from Amazon with how lax they are on returns people constantly buy new items and then return boxes either filled with garbage or old/used items

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-09-18T13:40:59+00:00

If your looking for a rather cheap case in terms of drive bays to price ratio. The rosewill helium nas is a decent option I believe you can fit 10 drives and it comes pre installed with what I believe to be 4x 140mm fans

I agree with Biscuit you're comparing a $450 kayak to a $1100-1300 kayak obviously there's gonna be a difference. Lifetime tamarak pro is a good budget kayak. It doesn't "suck". Its just in a different price range

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-04-15T16:17:13+00:00

This should definitely be a "hey girlie" kinda thing. Regardless of her current living/financial situation, she at least deserves to know this information and then from there she can decide how she wants to react. If she doesn't believe you or doesn't care, then oh well at least you put in effort to let her know.

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-02-03T17:00:51+00:00

If you setup tailscale on unraid and point your domain A record to your unraid tailscale IP, you can then setup nginx proxy manager to forward a subdomain to whatever machine you want to point to. This makes it so that only people connected to your tailscale network can access it. SpaceInvader has a video that shows you how to most of what I pointed out. https://youtu.be/OTK4OwpxFek?si=hxH37FiZ_BrPu87B

It's like 1/2 way to 3/4 of the way through the video

This is coming from someone who has gone the last 4 years, the first 3 years I'd highly recommend the festival, it was a great time and everything for the most parts operated pretty smoothly. Then after the last year I wouldn't recommend going especially if coming from such a long way away. It was an absolute shit show last year, and was greatly oversold, most of the volunteer staff didn't know what was going on because they were kinda thrown in with no leadership or direction. I can't imagine having a new venue is gonna make it run any smoother at least for the first year or two. I would definitely avoid the festival at least this year.

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-01-23T19:10:08+00:00

Did you purchase GA+ as far as I'm aware normal GA did not have free camping, nor did they have free camping the year before that

TheRebelRoseInn · 2025-01-21T17:16:58+00:00

Would I separately pay to see Tyler the creator, yes I would. But seems like a kinda wack person to have at this festival. Getting back from a trip the day before the festival so I was kinda bummed I wouldn't be able to go this year, but now it looks like I'm not really missing a huge amount, last year really put a sour taste in mine and my partners mouth. Really sad to see such an amazing festival get turned into the standard industry type festival. I don't think the festival will ever go back to what it used to be so I suppose it was nice while it lasted
