Should people use OSS? Yes. Should it be illegal to not to? Hell no.

The advertising caveat there I can get behind, but that’s not about paid vs unpaid.

Policy and legality are two wildly different things.

I bounced around a bit after Storj decided to hate consumers and institute massive minimums.

I’ve landed on Backblaze B2, S3 compatible. Add others have mentioned, doing a shared NAS 2 NAS hookup with a friend or family member is a nice ideal way to do it without monthly fees.

I use Borg backup from my PCs to a NAS (QNAP), and from there using the built in backup software to go off-site. My self hosted PCs will mount NAS drives directly (like immich and audiobookshelf) and those are also in the NAS off-site job.

Reolink stores to a SD card with the option to upload to FTP backups.

I suspect a big 128 gb card would be good enough without off-site storage.

And that is why I still support Firefox!

I know a good way to *nix it!

I know nothing of the full conversation, but I read the"meltdown". I sort of sided with the melt down guy. Everything he said there was reasonable, albeit slightly verbose.

IDGAF about the whole thing so it might just be that the final post was fine, but the rest was not :shrug:

I am not affected on my Ubuntu installation

Great question! You use the Tailscale clients which are fully open source. Headscale is compatible with them, and if TS gets sketchy (which, very well may happen), those clients would need a fork.

Tailscale’s network is with paying for it you need enterprise features and they do have a free tier. I’m not going to lock myself in there though and prefer a full FOSS option.

Fun fact none of you probably care about: I finally set this up last weekend.

I really like it so far for keeping my phone sync’d up with my self hosted services. In the past I needed to flip between public and internal address if I wanted to bypass routing traffic up to my vps while laying in a bed 20ft from my server. Now, tail/headscale handles that for me.

Glorious.

Dumped it last year. It was a good run.

Onn boxes from Walmart are hands down the best deal out there. $45-50 for the pro is solid.

It has boat, but you can get custom launchers or place it in app only mode to cut down on that.

I just picked up a Reolink, great privacy so far. I haven’t set up Home Assistant yet, but I’ve read it’s not great.

Sort of my point, actually. Most software now I’d argue is AI assisted.

This is most definitely AI assisted. I won’t say vibe coded, but this has the hallmarks.

I understand why some would do this. It’s definitely a more secure setup, but I highly doubt “most”. I like having passwords on my work laptop. I couldn’t sync there with a VPN, for example. My wife, kids and parents aren’t going to run VPNs on their phones, etc.

Isn’t that there point though? Remote synchronizing?

This. This is the way. It solves this problem completely, but utilities somehow refuse it. It’s almost like their argument is not in good faith …

What are you using for a reverse proxy? There’s some nginx websocket settings I had to do before things worked properly. I use cloudflare, but just for the DNS/cdn stuff, not their zero trust things.

server {
  server_name my.domain.com;
  client_max_body_size 2048M;

  location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_pass http://10.10.10.30:13378/;  # My Wireguard Tunnel up to the VPS
    # proxy_cache_bypass  $http_upgrade; # This was added by Certbot
    # WebSocket support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
  }

    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/my.domain.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot

}
server {
    if ($host = my.domain.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;

  server_name my.domain.com;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

I don’t disagree with you, but for a single server hosting multiple projects with differing system dependencies, docker is amazing. I’ve come around to using it for this practical reason.

Using docker over direct installation always feels like an unnecessary interface layer that just complicates things and introduces points of failure.

This feels 1000% like a chatgpt prompt copy and pasted into a webpage.
