You can self host VS Code.

This is why I use OMV and Nextcloud. A daily backup job duplicates everything to OMV. A weekly OMV backup job goes into Skiff drive. Fool me once…

Just use imgflip.com - that’s all it does is add text to images.

What doesn’t make sense is your use of the term “offline editor” - it’s entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can’t use an offline editor, they won’t be any better with an online editor. It’s like saying you need a 4 door car because you can’t drive a 2 door car - it’s the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.

I use Tailscale on PFsense. Just advertise the route to the local subnet and accept routes on whatever machine you’re accessing from and you’ve got yourself a pretty much plug and play solution.

Are you using /etc/resolv.conf?

I don’t use proton but I found with tailscale it’s much more stable to use systemd-resolved because it doesn’t overwrite resolv.conf. I don’t know if this is the case with proton as I don’t know how it treats different resolvers but I would look into it.

Both Wayland and Pipewire have been the direct cause of unusable VMs. Replacing them with Xorg and Pulse makes all the VMs usable again. This has been the case in VMWare, Virtualbox, and Hyper-V. VMs in Proxmox have been less problematic but still problematic.

ZimaBoard 832 with two 2TB SSDs and OMV is my setup. Pair it with tailscale for availability wherever you go.

I wasn’t a fan of Immich. Although I’m trying to replace Google photos soy opinion is a bit skewed.

I didn’t say they would. I said it’s a good time to learn.

I’m not saying in anyway that what you’re doing is in anyway wrong. It’s good that you’re thinking the way you are. Just saying, if you’re in this frame of mind now, it’s a good time to look at vlans. Think dedicated ranges with the benefit of reduced traffic saturation.

How small a client list are we talking? If it’s that small, then that would beg the question, why would you need dedicated ranges in the first place?

Son, I think it’s time you learn about vlans.

Are there any machines in use anymore that don’t support UEFI? When did it become standard? Something like 2012?

I didn’t even wait for expiration. I went ahead and moved all of mine into Cloudflare last night.

I have a zx01 or something like that from AliExpress with an N100 and 16GB. Those little machines are seriously impressive. It’s running Garuda and my son has not complained once about any game he’s tried to play. I don’t play games, I just bought it on a whim cause it’s tiny and $150 or so. I’ve run several systems on it without a hitch. I’m pretty certain it’ll hose a Minecraft server without an issue.

I’m currently using Arch and doing the same thing. I learned more than a decade ago not to even bother with asking questions to the community at large. Bunch of self righteous dicks they are.

Can you not learn by extrapolation?

Watch the video if you want greater detail.

This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you’re having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can’t say enough good things about his content.

pfSense on a ZimaBoard 216 works astonishingly well and it’s easy to setup and manage. Toss in a Mikrotik CSS610 and you have a vlan ready setup in under an hour.

If you don’t like the ZimaBoard, you can go with any of the Topton style router PCs from AliExpress for a couple hundred and have a 2.5Gb router running in proxmox with docker in a separate VM.
