  • Working around lack of router settings

    Jump

  • Maybe call your provider and ask them? Sometimes they hide settings in the user UI but can easily disable DHCP for you.

    Another option that is sometimes offered by the provider is another, more capable router model. This might cost a little more.

  • Benefits of running 2 Wi-Fi networks from the same router? What are the downsides? (I don't know if there is a better community for this question)

    Jump

  • What benefit do you hope to get?

  • Streaming 4k content is not a problem, transcoding on the fly to lower resolutions is hard and requires good capacity planning.

  • I'm not convinced that a pile of old HDDs is a good fit for your homeserver.

    • Many small disks will consume more energy than fewer large disks. Currently, the best capacity per price seems to be in the 20TB segment. A similar argument can be made for noise.
    • The HDDs you have might not be perfect for 20/7 usage. I personally would recommend using disks that are made for continuous usage.

    Start with what you have, but if you outgrow your setup, buy proper hardware. And make backups.

  • No, but thats what TLS does absolutely fine.

  • Remotely hacking into my server is probably harder than just walking into my home with a warrant and confiscate everything.

  • I'm unsure about the end-to-end encryption aspect. While this feature is great for a cloud service like ente.io, it doesn't really help much in a selfhosted scenario - and might make backups more complicated. Any other opinions on this?

  • Ford electric vehicle owners can now charge on Tesla's network, but they'll need an adapter first

    Jump

  • Looks like NACS will be the new standard for north america:

    It has been used on all North American market Tesla vehicles since 2021 and was opened for use to other manufacturers in November 2022. Between May and December 2023, many other vehicle manufacturers have announced that starting from 2025, their electric vehicles in North America will be equipped with the NACS charge port.

  • While this argument is valid for a larger domain, it doesn't really matter for the small selfhoster.

  • Or maybe introduce them to Little Bobby Tables

    Jump

  • And add some non-ASCII characters. If the commas did not kill their database, adding unicode will.

  • Can someone explain to me why NAT is not enough for security?

    Jump

  • This is true and typically called "Next Generation Firewall" or "Intrusion Prevention System".

    However, these have three disadvantages:

    • They rely on signatures and many vendors only provide these with an active, costly subscription
    • They add complexity and possible error sources and false positives.
    • They require processing power and can easily reduce throughput by 90%.

    These systems are quite common in enterprise scenarios, but AFAIK the exception in home labs and selfhosting environments.

  • Something like Guacamole could be a nice fit. Additionally, you need a virtual PC to connect to, Guacamole is just the proxy.

  • Happy 10 million! According to FediDB, we have hit 10 million users across the Fediverse!

  • FOSS online equivalent to Google Docs?

    Jump

  • Etherpad is my personal recommendation.

  • MEGATHREAD for fully FOSS lemmy apps without any ads, tracking or any other anti features.

  • Racoon is decent, free and open source.

  • liftoff isn't compatible with 0.19 and development appears to have stalled.

  • What you can recommend for first time?

    Jump

  • Vaultwarden could be a good start. Everyone needs a good password manager, and setting up one at home is pretty easy.

    You don't even need to expose it to the internet, you can start with a local installation (with some limitations).

  • Opinionated collection of docker-compose.yml

    Jump

  • true, and caddy works very well with docker compose setups.

  • Setting up a reverse proxy with nginx proxy manager is pretty simple and comes with letsencrypt support.

    For letsencrypt to work, a software needs to write a confirmation code to a special path in your domain. When letsencrypt verifies that you can write to this path (and therefore control the domain), you get the certificate.
