I would get a cheap MinisForum/Beelink mini-pc with an i5 and install Yunohost, or Casaos, or Cosmos or something like that, really easy to install, use and maintain.

To access the PC, just add a Wireguard server to your mini-pc server, set wireguard client on the PC, AND and you’re ready.

I got this one for around US$360 and added a SATA 4TB SSD to it, running all my services out of it and have yet to see it hit 50W.

Wise suggestion, really.

I believe that most self holsters actually are more hobbyist lifestyle than people with actual tech background.

I read and research a whole lot, which has taken me down this rabbit hole.

Such a good call, lol.

Maybe not 100% in the subject, but I just deployed a Wazuh instance to let me know how any of my hosts, containers and computers may have vulnerabilities. I found a crap load of holes in my services, and I’m halfway through squashing all of them.

If this is a hobby, that’s sure to keep you entertained for quite some time.

The cheapest way I found was getting some TP-Link Tapo cameras that have RTSP and Onvif, and run them under frigate.

Set them up in the app, cloud and all, then add them to your frigate, now block internet for them.

Those cameras are anywhere from 25 to around 50 dollars each. Best bang for the buck I could find.

I travel quite a bit for work, so for me it’s a life saver.

I play some pretty demanding games such as Cyberpunk, Elden Ring and Horizon: Zero Dawn, and while it’s no PS5, they run beautifully for such a small device.

The battery is not going to run me any of those games for more than an hour or so, but for that there are always those oldeis but goodies I emulate from NES all the way to PS2.

If like you say you’re not a gamer, which makes me assume you’ll play some games just to pass some time and kill some stress, I don’t think you can find a better device to spend a couple of hundreds on and feel like it was a gift.

That’s a Windows problem, not an IPv6 problem.

All my local services follow the same rules as any other service. I have no idea what the passwords are, they are all random and long as fuck in my password manager. 2FA with a hardware key where allowed, TOTP if not.

What possible reason would anyone have to “relax” or security on local services? That would mean having 2 streamlines which only adds friction.

I strongly suggest you move all your credentials out of your browsers and into a password manager.

It is pretty intuitive and just works. I do have an issue where I can’t access my services on ProxMox and UnRaid via URL (only via IP) when I have the work profile enabled in that network from the local network (works via internet from outside or through a VPN though), but it does work is the profile is disabled. Other than that, everything just works and is super easy to setup and configure.

Yes it is.

Agreed. After 4 years on PFSense, and that becoming basically a second job, I pulled the trigger and got a Unifi USG-Ultra, and my life is now all rainbows and unicorns.

Ok, I repent my sin now. Hannah Montana has my undivided attention. https://media.tenor.com/_cGu-9UxtV4AAAAM/mdr.gif

I confirm that I will never buy anything Asus even again.

My bad, I apologize. Put it in the freezer for now and I’ll shout out when I have clear instructions in a codeberg repo.

Same solution as with the baby. Sorry, gotta go hide from my wife before she reads this. I kind of like breathing.

Depends on the color of the dog.

Change the baby for a dog. You’re welcome.

Good for you man, I mean it. I would also use Keepass, but I share a lot of logins with my wife, and some with my kids, so having a self-hosted app that can sync seamlessly without added friction, like Bitwarden, is the next best thing.
