    Wasn’t the Glorious Eggroll guy supposed to stop developing GE Proton in favor of a different, better way of doing it? I forget the specifics but I remember seeing that posted several months ago.

    EDIT: found it, it’s ULGWL, since renamed to “umu”. Anybody know if that’s still happening? I was under the impression that the guy was going to eventually drop Proton GE completely for umu. But maybe I misunderstood.


  • If you want a no-code solution, I recently created a homepage using GrapesJS (for free). I’m hosting it on Cloudflare Pages (for free). The whole setup was dead simple and almost completely free, I’m only paying for the domain.

    EDIT: oops, that isn’t technically self-hosted…but GrapesJS is a very cool tool for building a simple HTML website. Just make it looks like you want and it’ll spit out all the files you need for hosting wherever your heart desires. Caddy, GitHub, whatever.



  • If your budget is $150, then you need to look for used options on eBay. Look for Dell Optiplex or Lenovo ThinkCentre towers. You will not find specs that good in your price range. But maybe you can get a decent CPU and save money to upgrade your RAM later.

    MAYBE you’ll get lucky and find an old Dell server on eBay. Sometimes IT guys will sell their company’s old server for a profit. But I personally wouldn’t buy one of those, the monthly electricity costs are stupid.




  • Sometimes these issues happen because of the IP range you’re using. If your local network and your remote network both use the 192.168.x.x range, then there can be conflicts and issues like this. This is a thing that happens generally with VPNs, not sure how Tailscale specifically functions with this issue.

    Even if that’s not what’s going on here, you might try setting up your remote node as an exit node, and configuring your local node to route all traffic through it. Theoretically that shouldn’t be necessary, and it will also slow down your traffic if you’re routing EVERYTHING through Tailscale. But it could work in a pinch.

    Actually, I’m looking at Tailscale documentation now and I see that they recommend setting up subnet routers instead of exit nodes in most cases. Maybe go that route instead, that makes more sense to me. That way you’re only routing necessary traffic through the remote node, rather than everything.



  • You said you already have Blink cams, what about this thing? https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Sync-Module-2/dp/B084RQ6MHJ/ Stick in a flash drive and it’s kinda like a DVR.

    Ideal setup would be a proper DVR with proper IP cameras. Ethernet would be better but wireless is doable. I don’t have enough knowledge to make a proper recommendation but people seem to like Reolink as an affordable option: https://reolink.com/us/product/rlk12-500wb4/

    If you don’t want to set up a DVR or spend all that money, there are plenty of cheap cameras that write to a microSD card, you could just buy a few of those and buy some massive SD cards that would allow you to record weeks worth of motion events. But of course reviewing all that footage will be a pain without a central DVR. I like my Tapo cameras, and Wyze is another popular brand.

    Lol no seriously, what’s your goal here? Self-hosting a server seems entirely unnecessary.

    If you want to host an RSS server, FreshRSS is easy to set up if you know how to do Docker stuff. Then, you could connect it to a podcast app on your phone. But all that seems very complicated when you could just install AntennaPod (which is open source), subscribe to a podcast’s official RSS feed, and turn on notifications for that podcast. Adding an RSS server between your listening device and the original RSS server is unnecessary IMO, unless you have a use case that I’m not understanding.
