Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house’s electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.

I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.

Oh man, I remember a Philips mp3 player I had for the longest time as a kid. You could hear the little clicks of the hard drive. Lost it on a hike, unfortunately.

It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent’s house. You’d also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.

I recently went this route after dabbling with other options. I had a wireguard VPN through my Unifi router, with rules to limit access to only the resources I wanted to share, but it can be a struggle for non savvy users, and even more so if they want to use Jellyfin on their TV. Tried Twingate too and would recommend if it fits your usecase, but Cloudflare Tunnels were more applicable to me.

This is mostly my reasoning too. I’ve got a bit more juice than a NUC, but I prefer the way resources are managed with an LXC for the certain apps that I run. I still have VMs for other things, like HAOS and a BlueIris NVR. It’s only a local homelab with no external users so avoiding additional complexity is often in my best interest.

Why would one prefer a VM over an LXC for Docker?

I might have found the issue, see updates above. I have a separate Docker LXC that was behaving normally too, so was good to cross-check with that.

Docker is installed on a Debian container with Proxmox as the hypervisor. I believe as far as Docker knows, it’s just running on normal Debian. The Debian LXC has its own local ip.

I’ll take a look at those resources though, thanks.

Many local libraries provide access to this incredible resource too. Check yours to see.

You don’t have backups set up in Proxmox?

It’s not OP’s website. Looks like there’s a contact form on the site though.

You are able to edit titles on Lemmy, if you’d like.

I use Docker LXCs. Really just a Debian LXC with Docker and then Portainer as a UI. I have separate LXCs for common services. Arrs on one LXC, Nextcloud, Immich and SearXNG on another, Invidious on a third. I just separate them so I don’t need to kill all services if I need to restart or take down the LXC for whatever reason.

For ease of setup and use, I’ve found Twingate to be great for outside access to my network.

Not an expert, just something I did and learned from; does the hardware you’re running on have more than one ethernet port (enp#…)? Is it possible you’ve selected the wrong one?

Also I notice my VMs in proxmox have the bridge nomenclature of vmbr0 (not virb0). Perhaps something there?

Just throwing ideas out there, I’m pretty new at this.

I must say, you’re really living up to your username.

Mirena, the IUD the original joke is based on, releases levonorgestrel, a progestin, which is a hormone, in the uterus over five years.

I could see it being tedious if you had to manually enter long, random string passwords regularly. Though I suppose you could change them to something easier to type. Ctrl+shift+L (bitwarden extension autofill shortcut) is just so much more convenient.

Yes, IUDs are hormonal and don’t act as a physical barrier themselves. However, with the hormonal mechanisms, they thicken the cervical mucus, which does serve to block sperm from entering. Perhaps it would be best for you to learn a little bit more about contraception.

Re: VPN and Wireguard, I was looking into doing the same on my unifi router, but came across Twingate (through a networkchuck video) and decided to try that instead, being a bit of a networking noob. It’s almost too easy…you can share individual resources or whole networks with user and device control over each. I think you get 5 users and 10 resources in the free plan. I’d recommend looking into it.

I had been pondering Nabucasa for external Home Assistant access but am very happy I found this. Now my wife can have remote access to HA and Plex and I can access the whole network remotely.
