  • Raspberry Pi 4B

    Jump

  • The mini-pcs that people typically recommend use around that at idle, and are much more powerful and have more reliable storage. But if you all you need is a Pi that's fine of course.

  • Wireguard over IPv6

    Jump

  • You could also secure what peers inside the tunnel can access, particularly if you plan to give other people access. I.e. only allow only port 443 on a given server using a reverse proxy. It's not a major threat either way but it would reduce the amount of access if someone gets into your phone/laptop etc.

  • Recommendation Pocket Alternative with specific add-on requirements

    Jump

  • You might want to open a feature request for one of the active projects. Shiori has a Firefox extension which has "search bookmarks" mode, which is close to what you are asking for, but is missing the remove bookmark feature.

  • Recommendations for data backup solutions ?

    Jump
    1. Hourly snapshots using btrbk
    2. Daily local backup to a NAS, also with btrbk (note: requires btrfs on both sender and receiver systems)
    3. I'm currently setting up a remote backup solution using borg to the NAS of a relative

    I'd consider paper (physical) backups for essential passwords and keys, but be careful about security.

  • The end of the kernel Rust experiment

  • Title seems to be have been changed now:

    The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

  • Solutions for remote access?

    Jump

  • probably something with my ISP that I can’t really easily work around

    I'd try and find out if you're behind a CG-NAT first, and whether you have IPv6 support. Some ISPs will turn off CG-NAT if you ask if that is the reason you haven't been able to get things working. Wireguard will then work properly which is a bit kinder on battery life with mobile devices in particular compared to Tailscale and Netbird (although both are improving in that regard).

  • Susan Collins is furrowing her brow at this very moment.

  • Which SBC for TV streaming?

    Jump

  • Maybe a used minipc like the Lenovo Tiny series, although it might be slightly exceeding your budget.

  • Are there any VPNs that support dedicated IPv6 addresses?

    Jump

  • Vodafone/TPG now implements this too. It's just shitty old Optus that's stuck in the past.

  • Are there any VPNs that support dedicated IPv6 addresses?

    Jump

  • Yeah, you're stuck with NAT66 with most commercial VPNs that support IPv6. If you've got ISP level ipv6 you can still allow inbound connections directly at least.

    If you do go the NAT66 route, consider assigning a fake GUA from an unassigned prefix as if you use standard ULAs outbound connections will always prefer ipv4.

    None of this is in the spirit of proper ipv6 but it "works".

  • Quitting Spotify for Navidrome

    Jump

  • I don't normally use Jellyfin for music but I do like that some subsonic clients like supersonic are supporting Jellyfin as an alternative, so if navidrome breaks for some reason I can just change over quickly.

  • Quitting Spotify for Navidrome

    Jump

  • Navidrome will only open your library in read-only

    Are you sure that's not just the default in the example docker-compose.yml? If there isn't some additional handling, you can just remove the ":ro" from:

      
        
volumes:
      - "/path/to/your/music/folder:/music:ro"

  • It's funny how conservatives the world over trot out the same tired conspiracy theories. The conservative parties in Australia have regularly tried out the 'African gangs' idea without much success.

  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • This sort of setup is a bit more advanced since it requires static routes on the remote router at least. Doable with one or two networks, but not if you have a bunch of users.

  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Most ISPs that do use CGNAT also offer ipv6 in Australia at least. The problem is that there is always that one client network that only supports ipv4 so you end up needing to support dual stack one way or another. Most of these ISPs also support CGNAT opt out for free at least, but I suspect that will go away in the medium term (and maybe that will encourage more universal ipv6 rollout).

    Jump

  • It's probably a TOS violation but you can combine it with pinchflat to strip ads and sponsored content from YouTube. It's not a general YouTube app though, rather you use it to preserve channels you're interested in.

    You can also use Jellyfin to serve legally purchased music from bandcamp etc, or movies and TV shows ripped from Blurays and DVDs.

  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

    Jump

  • I think you need Bazzite in your life (or some other immutable distro). But hey, fucking things up and recovering from it is how I learned both Windows and then Linux so there are upsides.

  • Self hosted DNS

    Jump

  • Many would be self-hosting behind a VPN so are less affected by public DNS issues.

  • Headscale vs Netbird vs Pangolin - How do you like selfhosting them?

    Jump

  • I've used both Headscale and a while ago, Netbird. Some of this will be in comparison to raw Wireguard, which I'm also using.

    I'm currently using Headscale, but it does have some annoyances. There were breaking changes fairly often for a while, although it looks to have mostly stabilised now. Tailscale itself is pretty invasive with its routing rules and DNS which can break things or cause unexpected behaviour, which doesn't occur with raw Wireguard which is more predictable once you understand it. The Tailscale android client has been somewhat unreliable and clunky, although getting better, although third party Android clients for Wireguard, in turn, have also improved Wireguard usage dramatically. On the other hand, Headscale (or Netbird) are pretty much necessary if you are on a CG-NAT and need ipv4 access, and more usable if you want to build a mesh network.

    I can't remember if I tested the service Netbird or the self-hosted version (I think both) but the main thing I remember is that it had poor support for ipv6, which I consider mandatory. Otherwise, the Android client seemed solid and it felt well-designed overall. And maybe the ipv6 support is better now.
