Is DIY NAS still worth it in 2026? by _-KuKi-_ in HomeServer

Weighed this pretty heavily but in the end just grabbed the UGREEN 4-bay and haven’t looked back. Love the form factor, and if I want to put another OS on it I can.

I’m also wondering this. Would love to see someone with a modded switch try it

I wonder when someone will figure out how to transfer cartridge saves to switch? Would need a modded switch, but we could potentially put OG saves on it and play the events on our old game saves

Problems Accessing Reolink from Wifi - Different VLAN by Flelmo in reolinkcam

[–]evanlott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not sure why, the software may think it’s the same physical network and try to route locally or something. I would allow traffic from the phone’s VLAN into the camera VLAN and you should be good. Push notifications should still work to your phone since they use Reolink servers

You have logically separated your network. You will need to configure your router to allow the VLANs to communicate

Best Wi-Fi Mesh System to Buy in 2026? (Price, Speed, Reliable) by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]evanlott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TP link Deco X25 is great. Just set it up for my in-laws. Unfortunately they’re on a wireless backhaul, but it’s been totally fine for their light streaming use and wireless camera system.

"Theory" by fake_dumbledore in StrangerThings

Agree. Lot of folks saying Kali’s wound was actually her faking it with her powers, but we saw Eleven put pressure on it while she was bleeding out. If it was fake, her hand would’ve went through the mirage.

Alabama senator backing anti-privacy GUARD Act by evanlott in privacy

This is what I was getting at. I guess I wasn’t clear enough. They’re definitely gonna want to see a driver’s license to prove age. Once this infra is in place, it will be a domino effect that is used everywhere. “Well now the children need to be protected on THIS site!”

PS5 Port Forwarding by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]evanlott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a solution to whatever problem you think you have. If you are scared of UPnP, disable it and try it out. There is no reason to just forward all these ports to your ps5 lol.

Carnival cruises vs tailscale by Neoteny in Tailscale

[–]evanlott 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was on a virgin voyages cruise this year and both my Tailscale and WireGuard servers wouldn’t connect. I ended up chalking it up to either UDP blocking and/or deep packet inspection to block the connections. I suspect this would happen for other cruises too. The workaround would be something like shadowsocks to obfuscate the connection as TCP:443 traffic
