I’d rather keep all the services to a single more powerful device and then relegate the Pi to more specialized, Pi-related tasks like a smart doorbell cam or Home Assistant Hub.


Holy shit that is so cheap! There’s gotta be a catch, right?


I also want to prioritize power consumption just because I can’t afford server rack levels of electricity, so I will have to check that out.


Could you elaborate on that possibly?


Not sure if I’m CPU-bound or RAM-bound, but I’d hazard to guess both lol And the lower the power consumption the better as this is an always-on, very passive deal.


Personally, I only plan to run another dozen or so containers. What I want most is reliability/stability. I want everything I set up to, once it works, continue working without issue. This is where the Pi has begun frustrating me as it seems to just seize up sometimes. I do need as much storage as possible as I’m a bit of a media hoarder, but that can always be solved with more drives.


This seems like exactly the site I’m looking for! Thanks


Damn that’s a steal! Guess I may have to go the old brick and mortar route.


Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi
I am several months into the self-hosting journey and I feel I have outgrown my Pi 4 B 8GB. I'm only running around 3 dozen containerized services and it seems to struggle to keep up. But I'm not sure of the best bang for my buck. I'd like good, long-term performance, but I don't really have a grand lying around for a Lenovo Tiny or Dell Optiplex or ASUS NUC. I'm thinking of buying an SSD to boot from, but will this even help much? For $350-500, could I make a more cost effective homeserver upgrade?

What makes this better than SearxNG?


This isn’t the case for SearxNG, right‽


According to r/VPNTorrents, Proton and AirVPN are the only recommended VPNs since they are the only well-established privacy-respecting ones left that still have port-forwarding. New ones are popping up with promise, like Azire and a couple others, but time will tell. As for Proton, I decided against it because of its limited port forwarding and lack of IPv6 compatibility and settled on AirVPN But Proton has genuinely great products if you’re interested in the full suite. AirVPN, in my opinion, is just the last great VPN. Open-source & fully featured client, run by activists, anonymous accounts, crypto purchasing, IPv6 compatibility, full port forwarding, great support, Tor integration, the list goes on.


Yeah that’s the point. I do use my instance for links when sharing to people, but the main reason I selfhosted was for control and mostly just fun


Well they were already talking UBO and PiHoles, so I had faith lol AirVPN has the option to add blocklists to its DNS. Obviously with everything else I don’t really need it, but it can’t hurt.



I didn’t think that could block Youtube ads alone? Like Hulu and Spotify


I have almost the exact same setup! But please tell me more about this random user agent extension




Well, to put it one way, Mullvad is almost definitely the best VPN that doesn’t offer port forwarding. Which, in reality, may only be absolutely crucial for torrenting.


Ah makes sense then. Proton is my main until I get around to self-hosted email.


Same here. Was just explaining to a coworker who was complaining about YT ads that I “just” use PiHole+Unbound for network blocking, AirVPN with DNS blocking, mullvad Private DNS on Android, and then Libretube to view my self-hosted Piped instance. As I said it I realized how ridiculous it’s gotten and how deranged I probably sound.


PS: AirVPN, in my opinion, is the last great VPN. Open-source, run by activists, anonymous accounts, crypto purchasing, IPv6 compatibility, full port forwarding, great support, Tor integration, the list goes on.

Also, I personally try to avoid keeping all my eggs in a single corporation’s basket, so I cannot advise buying into the full Proton suite if you’re remotely tech savvy and/or privacy-concerned. But they are genuinely great products if you have no desire to do any tinkering or shopping around. I just can’t see the appeal in my VPN activities being directly tied to my email. Oh and I almost forgot, I switched from PIA due to their lack of IPv6 support and acquistion by Kape, a known adware company.


Same question here. I’m about ready to upgrade from my 8GB Pi 4B, but I’m overwhelmed by options and lost as to where to go next.



I refuse to believe this. You’re either lying (which I don’t think), incapable of stealing it, or, like another commenter said, the info/account is not real. No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.


That is actually a great idea, but they are not remotely technical. Anything more than a couple clicks is asking a lot haha


Definitely use a VPN. My roommate got us DMCA’d for Transformers of all things when he used a stream from Torrentio (not Real Debrid). Brought him onto my VPN and Real-Debrid after that.


This sounds incredible. My biggest gripe about moving from Plex to Jellyfin is that now to make requests, my family has to go to my Jellyseerr site. On Plex they could just add things to the watchlist, so that would be amazing to bring to Jellyfin.
