My Ubiquity Dream Machine has Wireguard integrated. So it’s literally just a few clicks to spin up a server. I use it in combination with a port forward on my FritzBox and a dyn ip using https://dynv6.com/ and a domain i had laying around anyways.

Regarding Wireguard: Wireguards (imho) best feature is split tunneling. You can decide which ips or subnets to route through the tunnel. See AllowedIPs.

As a default it says something like

AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

Which means “just route everything through me”.

However you could allow your subnets only. Like this I use my private and my business vpn at the same time.

AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24,10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/24,10.0.3.0/24

You mentioned, that you have not a lot experience with networking, so your subnet may look like that. Just check your local ip and replace the last digit with 0/24

AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24

Just told them my opinion. Maybe you want too?

As positives for them ;)

Absolutely scary 😬 But link “shortener” may be the wrong name in this case

Lol, they’re even offering emails? Thanks for sharing!

I run pihole without any problems as a docker container. I assume you want to ask how well it works to add custom records, because that’s what you usually do with a dns server.

Adding single records with the web ui works just fine. However, adding wildcards isn’t possible. So you end up attaching a terminal to your container and adding dnsmasq configs yourself. This is a bit poor.

On the other hand: How often do you need to add wildcards? I needed like 2 entries since I set up pihole a few years ago.

Interesting. But since when is iOS a desktop operating system?

No backup, no pity.

Wow! This sounds super handy! Thanks for sharing!

Poor Garry :'(

My internet provider offers up to 4 sim cards per account. They cost once 10€, without a monthly fee. However they have only 300mb of high speed traffic. But this should be just fine for a tracker, no? Just have a look in your customer portal. Maybe you’ll find something there too

Maybe the kids Smartphone emitted too much blue light? 😛

If you want to start cheap, I can recommend you to use an old notebook. In my opinion it’s the perfect home server for beginners.

• It’s cheap (most people have an unused laying around anyway)
• If it’s old enough to still have a dvd drive, you can replace it with a second sata ssd. There are cheap frames for this available.
• it has a battery, so it can shutdown if there is a power outage
• It’s slim. You can just throw it on your closet and forget about it

Most services don’t need much. So it’s just fine if your “server” is like 10 years old. My first notebook server had 2 cores and 4 GB ram and it run Proxmox with like 10 lxc containers just fine.

I’m using MusicBrainz Picard. However there are some tricks to spare you some nerves:

• you can set weights to release types in the settings. Singles and compilations should have a lesser weight than albums.
• Don’t add too much music at once. Or you’ll get crazy selecting the correct releases. I usually go with one artist a time. Especially for older artists I just add one album a time. You can enable the file Browser in the view settings, than you can just drop them in one after the other.
• in the right pane you can just drag and drop whole releases to merge them together.
• Also noticable is the rename feature in the settings. It’s just awesome!

That’s a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓

Awesome! I just learned something today. Thanks for pointing it out so detailed!
