We use Tailscale to share between accounts.

But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.

I selfhost immich in a netcup VPS. They have a 2tb VM for about 22 euros a month via a black Friday sale

I’m on a 1tb arm plan for about 10 euros a month.

Do you mind giving me an example? I have issues with technical questions but with enough coaxing I could find what I was looking for.

I feel like I’m probably the sole one who’s happy with Kubuntu. It’s just Ubuntu with KDE on it.

Anything that can run proxmox is running proxmox. Even if it’s a single OS running on it, it’s still running proxmox

It’s a VPN. It’s standard ChaCha20/AES 128. Good enough for private entities but not FIPS certified

I use a mixture of tailscale and zerotier. Both are pretty powerful.

Then you’ll need to factor in the solar initial cost as well!

BirdNet Pi!

Yes but you can get two free instances under the same account.

Actually you can get 2 IPs for free. Then use high availability

I use ZeroTier on a MikroTik router.

Then just advertise routes on the router.

I didn’t see the LTE module? Is it m.2 form factor?

The laptop with a full sized mechanical keyboard on it. Oh and dual 330w power bricks.

Ionos.de has a €1 a month VPS

I think 1 core, 1gb ram, and 10gb.

Use either caddy or Nginx proxy manager. Both are easy to setup. Also both are dockerized.

I use Tailscale as my tunnel.

Total latency is about 70-90ms for me.

My friend has 1G/1G Internet. I have a rsync cron job backing up there 2 times a week.

It has a 8TB NVMe drive that I use bulk data backup and a 2TB os drive for VM stuff.

I use it for alt text for photos. Mostly because I just don’t know how to describe my images.

I can play zero dawn on mine and boy did it make train rides tolerable.

RouterOS has WG built in as well as ZeroTier. RouterOS has become quite powerful lately, but make sure you have at least an ARM/ARM64 CPU for it.

All of my remote routers are running RouterOS without anything on top of it. RouterOS is powerful enough for anything I throw on it. But I am using much beefier routers, I have 2 x 5009 and a HAP AX3 which have plenty of flash and ram ro run the additional packages I need.

As for normal computers, I have it on a UPS and I backup core files to off-site areas. Additionally, I buy SSDs that have a little bit of powerloss protection.

I’ve never had issues with mini PCs but I’ve had issues with PIs. I’ve since switched to high endurance SD cards for my Pis and they’ve been rock solid. One’s actually semi exposed to the elements for about a year now without a hiccup.

With RouterOS you can still use DoH with either a self hosted list or a selected ad list. If you want to selfhost a DNS server I’d just host a Adguard Home instance on a VPS for all of your devices.

I also have 2 VPN system for my remote management on 2 separate systems. I learned that the hard way when one of my clients is 8 timezones away.
