Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.

Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.

If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.

Is this the repo of the tool?

That’s not what I meant.

Never had a chance to give syncthing a shot, but nextcloud works very well. On top of that, if you ever want to ditch apple/google - it will also happily sync your contacts, calendar, etc, as well as more niche stuff like bike rides. It can become chonky, but that really depends on how much stuff you’re asking it to do.

It’s kinda funny how we think the 100 watts of a desktop P4 was insane when now the TDP of a high end laptop CPU is more than that.

It really isn’t. Modern mobile cpus barely sip power.

Precision guesswork here, but I’ve had nginx (not on opnsense) redirecting me to the default host quite a few times recently - all times it was me cocking up its config. It could be that nginx is waiting for the actual target until it times out and then just gives a your opnsense gui as the most reasonable response.

I’d start checking its config. Or pasting it here, after removing secrets, it any.

Is it all or nothing sort of deal?

Dunno, worked well for me. Give it a shot and see if anything needs to be disabled.

I’d been running OPNsense in a VM for some time. I used xen as a hypervisor, but that shouldn’t really be a requirement. Passed the nics through and it was golden! All the benefits of a VM - quick boot-up, snapshots on the hypervisor - it’s truly glorious :)

I don’t have your requirements, but nextcloud with Memories works well enough for me. Nextcloud does the file things, including auto upload from phones. Memories then displays those photos.

NFS comes to mind, naturally.

I remember some years ago scp had a big issue, can’t recall what, though. But that made me have a look at rsync, and I’ve been using that ever since. Flags are a bit atteocious, but I’ve aliases rsync -avz status=progress to copy and it’s been happy days. One other benefit - incremental copy. Helps in cases where a copy procedure had been stopped for whatever reason.

I did mean your android system. I’m not on jellyfin, yet, so not familliar with uts quirks.

Does importing the ca not help?

Begone, spawn of evil!

Allow the light of Church of Emacs into your heart!

What’s Martin Fowler a pun for?

But it returned 139! That’s a start even without a debugger!

This is ridiculously good :D

What is a recommended SSD nowadays? I don’t really have a criteria other than avoiding the noise - sata works well enough for me.

You must be delusional. Wayland is not freedom restricting.
