I just bought Portal and Portal 2 and finished them both. Very good games, with great puzzles and story.

I am planning to buy more from Valve in the future.

P.S: This was a triumph

I managed to fix this problem by pointing my domain name to my private IP address (with pihole’s local DNS entries), so I could access it. Then, I just got certs for the domain and applied them with nginx.

I know, but for some reason my router does not let me access my domain (with duckdns) when connected to my network. So even if I get certs for the domain, I will not be able to access it. I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don’t know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

EDIT: Fixed it. (See reply for fix)

Yes, basically on internal LAN I put admin admin to everything.

I just use ext4 on everything. It works pretty nicely.

I think you can encrypt drives by using a key stored in the TPM, if you have one. See the Arch wiki for info.

Though I have heard the TPM is not as secure..

1. Not having to give up my privacy for everything.
2. GUIs are not needed when self-hosting. (I mean when deploying services)
3. Learn Linux and start simple with a Raspberry Pi or laptop. That’s how I started.

Oh God please stop.

This is surely the worst of all.

I don’t have any job that needs to run 24/7, so I poweroff my server at night (12 am) and start it in the morning using WOL.

OK, maybe I will think about some other use for the Raspberry Pi then.

Maybe, but I my router is not hackable and I don’t plan on buying one that is.

While trying to set up the WLAN, I couldn’t connect to the AP, it said no internet access, and I couldn’t connect to the Pi, or ping any device from it.

Wait what I saw that comment like a week ago

Can you explain more the setup? What VMs would I need to run?

Thanks for responding. I actually don’t have Immich yet on the Raspberry Pi, so it’s the first time I will be installing it and then importing the photos. I don’t actually care a lot about the migration, since I can just reconfigure the services. I want to ensure that if a drive fails, I can restore the data. I would try RAID, but I read that “RAID is not backup”. Or I could just run the command you provided in a cronjob.

Can you tell me the specs?

I found an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF at 100€ here. It has an Intel core i5 4th Gen and 8GB of RAM. Not exactly mini but cheap. Do you think it’s worth it?

EDIT: nvm I found this used Intel nuc here with the same specs.

I have a heatsink above CPU, RAM, and Wi-Fi card. I think I should get a fan.

I saw that it uses about 1,3 GB of memory. This means another 700MB remain. Because of this, I don’t think the cause is the memory. Also, I forgot to mention that I am also running qbittorrent for downloading, gluetun for VPN, and jellyfin and jellyseerr.
