Hey, hey, hey! Welcome back @0807.! You’ve made some changes, polished it up a bit, made it selfhostable. Awesome! I could see this being used ‘inhouse’. I’m wouldn’t be comfortable exposing this to the general public tho, for obvious reasons. The internet can be a very beneficial tool, but at the same time be a filthy, rotten, cespool. I’d rather not get dirty. I have bookmarked the source files at https://src.0807.st/, and dropped it in my projects folder. Thanks again for sharing your project.

We’re rowing the same boat

I’ve built a minimalist, passwordless service using this exact stack called Celestride.

So basically Celestride is a VPN proxy?

This is literally how I learn. Read, Do, Fuck It Up, ad nauseam until I get it right, and then write that shit down.

VNC still works.

Not trying to stir the pot here, but to my understanding, the DWService agent is opensource, but the server side isn’t. If I am errant in my conclusion, feel free to school me.

oh no, rustdesk does have some significant problems. I could give you a nice list.

Sure, I get that. I was just wondering about the Chinese connection bit.

You can take a look

Oh…I already did. LOL

Whew! Thought I’d missed something.

Unpack that. Why are you suspicious of Rustdesk? Open source/inspect code, direct p2p connection…perhaps I am missing something. School me.

This is how my network is set up just as an example. Not to imply that this is the gold standard by any stretch of the imagination. It has served me well over the years, so I figured I’d drop it here and maybe you could get a few ideas.

Why do I have to create an account and sign in just to ‘Explore PolyTalk’ beyond the landing page? Additionally, could you put more Google in please.

• gstatic.com

It looks interesting, but I’m a bit put off by having to sign in to explore. Also, a visitor to your github page also might be put off by the lack of any screen shots or captures showing how this works. I know I am immensely disappointed when I look at an interesting project on github but there are no screenshots. Seems a trivial thing to do.

I don’t run the 'arr stack, but for comparison, one of my servers is a Optiplex 7020 SFF / i7-4790 / 32GB RAM. It’s running around 45 containers now with ease from automatons with n8n to streaming audio with Navidrome. In fact, it spends most of it’s life in an idle state with load averages looking like .20/.27/.32. I don’t do any transcoding tho, so I can’t speak to that as far as resources. I see others have made suggestions in that dept. As far as the 4 bay USB HDD, you’re going to need some storage space at some point or another so it’s not like it would be wasted effort.

Not too far from the truth really in a weird way. When I have a grand mal, in addition to doing a breakdance on the ground and pissing and defecating my pants, I also sport a full mast. It’s quite a majestic performance all around. I’ve only seen videos.

When you have a tool like mine, it promotes itself.

Good to keep an eye on them because it can happen to any battery,

As we age, we become intensely aware of our mortality and the cost of replacing things. :)

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data.

Hellz yeah! Git sum.

My first attempt at a selfhosting project is up and running.

That’s awesome. Doesn’t it feel good when everything works?

Thunderbird Mobile

It really gripes me that Thunderbird hasn’t released an iOS compatible app.

Thinkpad T480

There is a lot of discussion whether to leave the battery in when using a laptop as a server. I think the consensus is that you cap the charge at 60% to 80%. Sometimes the configuration for this is in your BIOS, and sometimes you have to do it manually if possible. The reasoning being, so you aren’t constantly charging the battery to it’s max limit and causing a ‘spicy pillow’ which would be a fire hazard.

Rock on with yo’ bad self bro!

That’s a shame. I was unaware of that. Still…a good read with some good advice.

I’ve never had Covid, but my lady friend has. She contracted it at the hospital working as a medical professional of 40 years. There were circumstances surrounding how she contracted Covid that I will not go in to, but basically a lack of stocked PPE on the part of the medical facility. She now has long Covid and will for the rest of her life. Getting up in the morning to make herself some breakfast is exhausting for her, and they really are no closer to understanding why these symptoms persist in certain people. She had to retire, which really broke her.

Awesome. I look forward to further iterations.
