you can just set your pihole as the dns server for all your wireguard clients i guess

i self host my mails for almost 20 years now, it was hard work in the beginning, now it’s just a few updates a year. no problem with blacklists or anything, a good hoster is probably beneficial, 10/10 would recommend, even just to learn how all of this works

5$ for vpn and usenet? where can one hypothetically get this?

wir hatten ja nichts

my storage machine is luggage, and i use discworld names that kind of are relevant to the gunction for everything else in my network, too. my robot vacuums name is lu-tze for example.

have you heard about immich? it’s a bit ‘heavy’, too, but that’s because it’s not just a photo backup solution but aims to be a self-hosted multi-user replacement for google photos.

because it’s new

can still be DMCAd 🤷

why would it need to be cracked if it is free? 🧐

i think there is no limit (at least on the software side), because it’s local network only, so nothing is uploaded to a server but directly to the recipient. i could be wrong though.

they already have been around for a long time, i used them for about 8 years (if i remember correctly), before switching to borgbase last years because of the notifications they can send you when no backup has happened for a specific time, which rsync.net can’t 😐

inverter controls, oh god. that’s pretty weird on mobile… 😬 looks nice though

mailu and mailcow are also quite good

i think speedtest data is ot read or written to or from the disk but generates in memory or just ‘thrown away’

you should meet my coworker. this is one week worth of work. and he still only commit once a week.

for testing just set all chains to allow and flush all the rules. then ping the wireguard ip of your vps from your home server (the one where wireguard is configured). this should work and should tell the vps where it can find the other wireguard endpoint. pinging your home server from the vps should work now. if this makes the connection work properly look into the wireguard keepalive settings and make sure that your home server regulary announces itself to your vps.
after that reload the netfilter/iptables on your vps.

you don’t need a firewall management tool, as long as there are no services running on the public interface there are no open ports that would need filtering.

oh, i didn’t know that, as i’m already in to deep in unifi appliances 😬

i think i remember that it was not required, but i would not be surprised if that has changed.

consodering that you would need a subscription for a ring doorbell (if i remember correctly) the 200€ for the storage device and the ~180€ for the doorbell would still be cheaper. i’d be surprised to see another alternative with the same features for less money or without a aubscription.

unifi has nice (a) doorbell(s). you need a server to record and run the controller though, but that can be a raspberry pi

i know, still wanted to add something 🤷
