Basically, because I feel that Bitwarden built this massive network with layers of security that I just don’t possess, and their track record is very good in that regard. Yes, they have had some breaches, but none that I am aware of where its central user database or encrypted vaults were exposed. The latest was a supply chain incident in April 2026 which was part of a broader supply chain attack affecting Checkmarx, not a direct compromise of Bitwarden’s infrastructure.

Ooof! I think I have a pretty robust network security deployment. I’m just not convinced 100%, and therefor I am prohibited from deploying any self hosted password manager. Too risky. I know there are 1000s of people who, and kudos to you for being able to sleep at night. Your security must rival the SCIFs.

As much as you may dislike Google, I got to hand it to them, they have and always have a ton of skunk works projects.

Or even better buy a mini PC with many net ports and install opnSense, but in this case you will need a separate wifi router and/or dedicated switch since any opnSense device will only work at perimeter level

I went with this option except using pFsense in lieu of OpnSense. My own modem, router, and managed switches.

Let’s talk about AI usage like adults please

Unpossible. AI doesn’t bother me, it just bothers a shit ton of other people. It comes down to my own choice to use the software or not. I don’t need to disparage or denigrate a project that uses AI. I am a fully autonomous adult capable of making my own decisions. That said, it would be good for the devs of said projects just be upfront about it all. Trying to obscure that fact just makes things worse. Of course, it’s 2026 and it’s almost a forgone conclusion that devs have used AI in some form or fashion in their projects.

It reminds me of back in the day when everyone wanted to get on the ‘creating websites for a living’ bandwagon. There were people going around boasting about how elite they were because they raw dogged the code in notepad. I guess some have the need to feel superior.

Was it hard to set up? Any field expedient modifications, adjustments, or fiddling? I’ve got a ton of old HDD from desktops, laptops, old servers sitting in one of my closets. Hmmmmmm

@IratePirate@feddit.org That’s pretty resourceful and pretty cool. I’m intrigued. I’m going to have to read up on that. Thanks for posting

If you missed it, DockFlare – a Cloudflare Tunnel management platform – recently introduced e-mail capabilities built on Cloudflare’s e-mail routing capabilities

That’s interesting

The Notepad++ community released a native macOS version of the popular Windows notepad app

Long overdue

Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel

Have not noticed that at all. I don’t run any federated services tho. Might be the difference, I don’t know.

i love selfhosting :3

Me2! Nice solid stack you got going there bro.

what do you gain from this setup?

• Defense in Depth
• Network segmentation
• Fallback

it got hit with a power surge and after lots of trouble shooting it appears the motherboard is fried

I am truly sorry for your misfortune. I feel a bit bumed right now. Others with better knowledge than I have gave suggestions. That just slapped me in the face, because I know how I certainly would feel.

How about both? I run the evil Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust with Tailscale as an overlay on the server.

so a third party like CF is not in the middle

True, but then the VPS provider is the mitm.

seems like a very effective way to get isps and mobile service providers to get their act together and start issue sing ipv6 to people.

I don’t think DDOS’ing is going to make an ISP change the way they do business. DDOS’ing Google won’t make them capitulate either. I use IPV4 exclusively unless it’s LAN traffic. I also use the evil Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust and I’ll have to say I’ve been impressed with their free tier. Of course, opinions vary in regards to Cloudflare.

When I’m at my PC, I’ll open it, hit the “Random” option under Albums and select something from the first page. This way I’m always surfacing things I would normally ignore and engaging more with my collection.

Random is the only way I listen. BAM! First thing in the morning so music is with me all day. I do have structured playlists, my favorite being my Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Funk playlist. When I purchase music, I usually buy the artist’s entire, official release catalog. Their top ten songs are cool and all, but I find more enjoyment listening to the B sides, and stuff that never made radio play, peppered with their top hits here and there. Those deep cuts to me are gold. I’ve been collecting for many, many decades now from Opera to Death Metal and anything in between. I even ran a fairly successful, licensed, internet radio station back in the late 90’s. To say I was a fan of music would be an understatement. It is my most expensive hobby.

Hey that’s pretty cool bro. I really dig these small form factor servers. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m already invested with what I have, I’d probably be doing one for myself. Thing is, now days, you don’t need big, honkin’, dim the lights, server equipment to produce a very viable, very capable, server environment. Rock on with yo’ bad self!

Can’t help with Jellyfin, tho there are many here who use it, so maybe someone will chime in. I do use Navidrome, and it checks all my boxes. It’s a pretty comprehensive package, and recently they have introduced a plug in environment. I have not got into the plug ins yet. If your music collection is rather haphazard, I’d recommend Beets. Turn it loose on your music collection and let it do it’s thing.

realized that tracking might be the wrong word

Nah, it’s perfectly clear. I’m just looking for something else.

I wasn’t disparaging your app at all. More so, I was just throwing it out there in hopes of getting a bite since the two would be similar in nature.
