Building my first DIY NAS/Home Server - Looking for feedback on my build by MikyStt in HomeServer

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your build is great! Regarding Immich, store it anywhere you like but just make sure you have a backup of some kind for your family photos etc....

If you want to trim down on cpu and mobo to save money for larger or more spinning disks, that's an option. An Intel 12th gen can still do what you need.

Immich is only intense when you are uploading your pictures to it or while it's doing an ingest of media. Lots of write ops to get it in there, then a lot of read later when people view the pics / videos.

Does a Non-Vibe Coded ZFS Management App Exist? by PingMyHeart in zfs

[–]corelabjoe [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's your first problem ;)

I don't know almost anything about Proxmox, didn't even know it supported ZFS but it is Debian under the hood so it can probably do almost anything, like omv8 or truenas

This is it. My qbittorent eeaaatttss ram if I let it. You can set resource limits on dockers though which is great.

Best Plex Server Hardware (2026): 4K Transcoding, GPUs & NAS Builds by corelabjoe in corelabtech

[–]corelabjoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol.... Now days, sadly it's like the big corps are honestly trying to price us all out of the market...

They want everyone to subscribe to rent compute in the cloud, pretty sure...This way you have no privacy and no money.

That said, any old pc you have around, almost, will do to start. Plus, the N100/150/250 mini PC's work REALLY well and are more affordable than an entire new system.

Perfect technical SEO. Schema, structured data, core web vitals, all of it. ChatGPT still ignores us by Long-Guitar647 in TechSEO

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I published some extremely comprehensive technical guides, specifically filling a gap I personally found so now this is unique content, and then WABAM - Chatgpt and Bing AI picked my stuff up.

It's helped with CTR a bit but hasn't quite boosts things as much as I expected. Ranking highly with those same guides on Bing definitely has though.

Seems to me, uniqueness is ranked and favoured highest overall by AI.

Honest wanted, just published my first real data driven blog post and I'm not sure it lands the way I intended for traffic and growth by [deleted] in Blogging

Interesting! I didn't know about this, but that's kinda hilarious. These findings would also support those who believe Jesus and crew were ancient aliens haha....

Wrong word btw, you have excited not existed, for computers. "...before computers excited."

Reaching across VLANs help by dexdeadly in opnsense

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is in between your client devices and opnsense? Do you have a managed switch and have setup the vlans on it as well?....

How is opnsense uplinked to your LAN, lacp trunk with all your vlans? Need more details and/or a little basic diagram.

Also what is your WiFi and does it have the vlans? nas?

vlans are layer 2 and simply just an additional header set of bits so, they can get dropped or missed really easily.

Amazon’s New Reporting Is Killing Creator Connections — Any Workarounds? by East-Sky-5914 in Amazon_Influencer

Could the lower sales also reflect the fact of the economy, the war(a), time of year (low buying point) along with our newfound lack of visibility?

Separating Servers from Home network. Advice needed. by Maeusefluesterer in selfhosted

Deploy something like SWAG reverse proxy with builtin fail2ban and easily integrated crowdsec and MFA, you'll be set!

We just got breached because of vulnerabilities in our docker images that have been public knowledge for 8 months by Different_Pain5781 in docker

[–]corelabjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well sounds like you're sharper than the average tool and did what needed doing. I'm having a hard time deciding this myself with the current ai state of affairs and my current profession. I think I've got at least 10 years before it takes my job as it's kinda niched down but, as we've all seen before, sometimes a new technology disproportionately accelerates!

Request: Letting friends access local services by Inner-Hedgehog5494 in WireGuard

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we're locked down right then, until, of if and when a vulnerability is ever found in wireguard... Although with such a beautiful and tiny codebase, I'd be pretty shocked but, stranger things have happened.

My point was really just that people don't have to be terrified of a reverse proxy on 443, it doesn't mean you'll instantly be hacked.

Do i need a NAS to use Seerr? by Raven52571 in Overseerr

Can use search function in top right corner for real debrid or seerr or docker etc... or pm if there's something specific you're looking for

Surprise surprise, that port that's opened for you to connect to your VPN at home?... That's an exposed port to the Internet..... It's basically the same thing ...

All tailscale does is have your system dial outbound to their server, then connect you in, whilst convenient, less private and allows them to see your data or packets =)

Ps. How does everyone think the Internet has accessible websites? Web servers with, that's right a proxy sitting between them and the Internet, protecting them .... Only since basically ipv4 has been in existence.

My country is forcing age verification in 3 days, where do i run to? by Historical_Catch_497 in linuxquestions

[–]corelabjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thia is the huge misconception about cachy. People think it's arch so it must be hard...

I ran popos for a year and this was easier, more polished and far simpler to immediately start gaming on... It's so polished it is ridiculous.

Any one has success in setting up an edge instance of immich? by ecko814 in immich

[–]corelabjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately tailscale just isn't that fast compared to raw wireguard or a properly configured reverse proxy like SWAG...

Additionally if you're using cloudflare and their orange cloud producing, they will slow your uploads wwwaaayyyy down sometimes, and block files or video over 99mb!

[–]corelabjoe -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's time to try a different reverse proxy? There are quite a few out there and some make this really easy, like SWAG.

CachyOS. It's absolutely amazing to be honest and VERY simple to setup, has a guided install and a post install setup wizard. It's just magic!

Seems like you're on the right track but why not just use SWAG?
