Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).

Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.

Yeah there is a world of difference between the microusb gen 1 and the newer AV1 enabled ones.

The old ones literally didn’t have their own OS IIRC, you could only cast to them which caused a ton of issues.

Honestly as much as I hate google, Chromecast has been a pretty flawless jellyfin experience.

4k AV1 support (though I only have a 720p TV, so I got the full HD version), and the jellyfin client is one of the best and most updated.

In the 5 year future I want to be able to have a cheap N100 box (pis are too expensive and under powered in video, maybe the new RISCV SBUs will beef up decoding and be perfect for that a few revisions later) and then throw Plasma Bigscreen on it when it matures and have a fully FOSS streamer, but that won’t work well now.

A sort of diablo-style game where you are the bad guy vampire. Very fun, but the damn server doesn’t pause time when it is empty, so I can only spin it up when I plan to play, not have it on all the time like valheim if my friends want to jump in without me and play

It’s a bit difficult. I don’t have the money for an entire 2nd server on my network and $500 in HDDs just for a backup solution as part of 3/2/1.

I have 3TB of fault-tolerant-ish data in a ZFS mirror then 12TB in a third, single drive full of stuff that I don’t care a ton if I lost (media and stuff mostly)

Maybe I could back up the more needed data to Hetzner or something for cheaper, but it still adds up.

I would be interested in seeing compiled statistics of how many fell without capitalist interventions.

The CIA themselves have stated how active they were in the 20th century with corrupting, breaking down, and ultimately overthrowing communist regimes and installing dictators.

But also socialism with worker owned co-ops and only infrastructure and regulations through a central government may somewhat be a good direction to go.

The crux seems to be that all forms of government are susceptible to authoriatarians because people themselves are very susceptible to authoritarian strong men and propaganda, inherently.

Yep, openvpn with factory firmware. It even had a (limited) choice DDNS services for self hosting, on a cheap consumer router. I could never figure out if NAT hairpinning worked though.

Almost all routers have an “advanced” section where you get a lot if these nice options.

I have only bought a ubiquiti device in the last few years though, so I guess it is possible that routers have been enshittified like a lot of tech products with features locked behind a paywall.

Sure, but you can’t access your home network anyway if your router is turned off…

I have yet to encounter a router made in the last decade that couldn’t. Asus routers, even my 15 year old tplink archer A7 could, ubiquiti always can, openwrt, pretty sure at work we did testing with a dlink router and it also had that option.

Pretty much if you don’t use a Linksys 100Mbps router from 2005, you can at least do openvpn if not wireguard.

You can even use an ESP32 or similar since it just has to perform 1 tiny function.

Getting an WT32-ETH01 knockoff dev board for 15€ or PoE for 25€ and uses <300mW with the wireless modem off. You could even just use a WiFi module for 8€ if you don’t want something wired.

There is already an wakeonlan library to generate a packet very easily.

You can even do it in pseudocode with ESPHome if you have HomeAssistant

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-wake-on-lan-packet-from-esp32-to-ha-server-how-to-automate/617595

Then VPN in, send a signal to the esp using one of various methods to tell it to send the packet.

Except not on most phones, just a small subset of old phones.

I wished posteo allowed custom domains… They would be perfect then!

Jokes on us, investors and shareholders are already doing that.

I wish I could use unattended-upgrade.

It literally restarts my server even when I disable the option, leaving it hung if the USB boot key isn’t in there.

I had to stop using it, so now I just manually upgrade because that doesn’t auto-restart without my permission…

Hell, a 12TB WD red Plus in the EU is 300€. $160 for a 14TB is absolute dirt cheap

I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn’t harden ssh at all, and most people didn’t use a VPN for downloading.

That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let’s not use lightbulbs or electricity.

What is the difference between a paid service and a paywalled service in this case?

So you have absolutely no devices that are a different resolution than you download? You don’t direct play 4k on a 1080p screen for example.

Me too, and the new one I didn’t even realize this change happened. I saw there were no breaking changes, updated, and saw “oh, it isn’t synced anymore” so I reselected the folders, it ran a sync check on everything, which took a while, and everything works fine again.

I didn’t even realize there was a difference until now, but I guess there is a start/stop sync switch.

I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)

I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.

That and subtitle syncing.

Except that proton released their LLM AI so maybe they will start doing that?
