Films and shows, via Jellyfin.

No, they are not in RAID either.

The boot drive is an SSD, which is not in any RAID. I have another HDD connected via SATA. Another HDD connected via USB.

I did reset it. It did not help. I ran memtest86 for over 2 hours and did a CPU stress test for over 15 hours. Nothing crashed during the testing.

I cleaned everything and reapplied the thermal paste. That did not solve the problem. Also, the CPU is only of 35 watts and never goes over 55°C.

I just ran it. It took over 2 hours to finish. Showed no errors. Is there a benefit of running it for a few days?

I use Fedora Server with Podman (instead of Docker). I am not a noob either, but cockpit provides a really useful GUI for managing the whole operating system.

I have written a small blog post about how to Bypass CGNAT, and have also mentioned why you should not use Cloudflare if you are hosting for privacy.

6th gen’s integrated GPU cannot decode HEVC.

My optiplex with i5-6500TE can transcode 4K videos easily if the codec is AVC. HEVC is different story though. Any CPU newer than 10th generation would be more than enough for your needs, I’d say.

Not sure. Will have to try it out.

All ports are forwarded. If your SMTP is running on, say, port 993, on your local machine, your-VPS-ip:993 will be your SMTP.

Get out of here, redditor.

I am not sure what you mean.

The issue is, when using Cloudflare, they will terminate your TLS, then encrypt the data again with their own certificate, which is send to the visitor. When visitor interacts, their data is decrypted on Cloudflare’s servers, which they encrypt again eith our original certificate and send it back to us.

Sure, hackers or sniffers might not be able to look at the sensitive data, but Cloudflare can. But do they, or do they not, is upto you, if you trust them or not.

If you are using the exact rules mentioned in my post, only the ports of your machine will be forwarded, not your entire local network. If you want to forward ports of more than one machine, look at the github link in the sources, it contains a detailed documentation of how to achieve that. Since, I do not know a lot about iptables, I may not be the best person to guide you, in this case. However, feel free to DM me, I’ll might be able to help.

Yes, it is fairly easy. You just have to forward the http headers. I am using HAProxy, and you can look at my configuration file in the blog. If you’re using something like Nginx Proxy, look up how to forward http heards. Some applications, like Nextcloud, require extra steps, but they also provide their own documentation.

I am not sure, actually. Look at the sources, and you’ll find the original GitHub link from where I took it. I am not very well versed with iptables.

I wrote a small blog about bypassing CGNAT using TLS-passthrough. Cloudflare uses TLS-termination, which means they can see all the data being passed through, which defeats the purpose of privacy.

I’ve tried hosting an nginx server. It is fun, but I wouldn’t rely on it for production use cases.

I’ve also seen some people run docker on their android devices.

Try olamovies (dot) top. They have a lot of OpenMatte versions of many films as well. You might find IMAX too.

Proton VPN works for me.

But we should not have to pay another company to watch the content owned by a company we are already paying.

Thank you for these suggestions. But I have a few questions.

How can I do the 2nd and 3rd point if I am using docker/podman containers?

Why is ClamAV useless?

Joplin can be a multi-user solution as well. I use Joplin with Nextcloud. If you don’t want to share notes just use Joplin and every user can use the same nextcloud instance, but different user accounts, to save their notes. If you want to share all the notes, all the users can synchronise with the same Nextcloud user. You can make different notebooks for different users. All the users, however, can see and edit notes. Joplin cannot be a solution if you want to share some notes. It is either all, or none.

Logseq can be another solution, with the same technique. However, you can use git to synchronise different databases, where one database is used in shared notes and personal databases for non-shared notes. I host my own Gitea (will soon shift to forgejo) to synchronise my Logseq databases.

AFAIK, Piped always proxies the videos through a server.

I am more familiar with Invidious. Find an Invidious server that lets you enable proxying. Some examples are yewtu.be, invidious.protokolla.fi and inv.nadeko.net. Then find an RSS app that lets you download the content, as well as supports cookies. Use the invidious server’s cookies in your RSS app to proxy the content you download. Invidious servers can provide RSS feeds for individual channels, as well as your complete subscription feed.

And if possible donate a dollar or two, regularly, to the invidious server that you use, since it takes up a lot of bandwidth and motivates the hoster to keep up what they are doing.

If music available on YouTube is enough, you can use, or host your own Beatbump server. beatbump.io is a what I use occasionally.

I use Jellyfin to stream my music library (which is over 20 GiB) everywhere.

Also, there is this unofficial way to install Jellyfin on BSD.

Edit – I am willing to give you temporary access to my public server, if you want to try it out.

6. If you are self hosting for privacy, I recommend staying away from Cloudflare, that is, not to use their proxying service or Cloudflare tunnel.

Stingle Photos. It works only with S3.

OP wants a safe experience, not a good experience.

I was paying $7/m for their mail, VPN and drive services. One of my major reasons to switch was their lack of linux support. They claim that it is hard to find Linux developers. Second reason was their drive’s download and upload speeds were terrible, from where I am sitting. Their VPN service is great. I always got great speeds, but their linux apps have always been terrible. Their mail service is also great, but I would like more control over it, like Mailbox.org. on Mailbox, I can encrypt my inbox using a different key, while also having the SMTP submission feature. I really ned that to integrate emails with my websites and services. Mailbox can also encrypt their cloud drive with our key, while also providing WebDAV support (how cool is that). Their mail app on android is open-source but is not available on f-droid. And the apk they provide on their website neither has a notification functionality, nor does it auto-update. Another reason was that I was limited to 3 custom domains, unless I buy their business plan. Mailbox has no such limit.

One final reason was that I did not want to keep all my apples in one basket. So, for mail, I am using mailbox, for storage, I am using a personal nextcloud and a Hetzner managed nextcloud, for VPN, I started using mullvad, but their speeds are terrible and connections are unreliable. For passwords I am using self-hosted vaultwarden.

There are a few more reasons that I do not remember, now. Proton is great, I still trust them. But these small things really go a long way.

I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail, then to Mailbox.org. Ypu can set up a mailserver on your home server, but you would need a VPS that would forward the traffic to and from your home server without you needing to open any ports. This guide can help you with TLS passthrough.

But setting up your own mailserver is a big hassle. Just pay a trusted provider and keep your inbox, and preferably all emails, encrypted with GPG.

Some people even use Raspberry Pis as their NAS. I use an old MacBook (5th gen i5) as a home server with 2 external hard drives as a NAS, which also runs a few docker containers like Jellyfin. Before that, I was using an old PC with 1st gen i3 for all these things.

The only thing preventing me to move from photoview to immich is the lack of sorting/viewing photos by folder hierarchy. I love the UI and the machine learning customisation options. They recently added the “external albums” feature, so I am hoping this folder hierarchy thing, too, will soon be implemented.

I have been trying to find such a solution but I couldn’t. I have scraped almost every Reddit post I could find on this topic but I could not find a solution that works for me. So I ended up making a simple table on Nextcloud notes. Along with that I used the Organic Maps app which is based on OSM. I just downloaded the maps I needed onto my device and I pinned some locations that I wanted to visit.

All the work was done manually. I would really appreciate if someone can develop such a solution. I am even willing to donate a few dollars.

I think I remember reading such a post where the person was saying that they are trying to develop such a solution, but it was work in progress. It was an old post, and I think they had abandoned it.

Not sure, but I think its purpose is to get get these posts appear in meta search engine results (SEO).

I am in India. Here, broadband providers give 3.33 TB of high speed usage, after which the speed gets limited to 1mbps. Some postpaid mobile plans also have “unlimited” usage, but they give only 100GB data, and if you exceed it, they convert your regular plan to a commercial plan and will bill you a relatively huge amount.

Don’t know, left it long ago.

If this was reddit, I would have given you a trophy.
