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.

They pirate and sell the service locally 🤣🤣

Show me the code where you found the evidence.

Our ISPs are too cheap and lazy to even try looking. I still use I2P, but only because I need to justify my tin foil hats collection.

Wise suggestion, really.

Yup. That alone is enough for me to just ignore a software and keep moving.

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.

I have learned to never underestimate their greedy ass.

And now Nintendo will sue them out of existence. FUCK!

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.

what distros are tou guys using.? In my Fedora it lags horribly in the main screen (after the launcher), but works fine after the game starts.

It’s not that I don’t like it. I just think there are way better distros out there. We’ll, I also don’t like how behind they regularly are with kernel updates, but that’s not an issue for my kid.

Ah, nice workaround. Thanks.

I have not seen the time issue, maybe because Frigate handles all recordings and the cameras are just, well, cameras.

I’ll look into that loosing time subject, and if it happens to me, I think there should be a way to change the NTP server, or at least I hope.

I started my kids with this when they were 4 years old. today they don’t know anything other than Linux (they’re 9 and 11 now).

My daughter has Nobara on her laptop and PopOS on her PC. My boy is sold on ZorinOS (I’ve tried to steer him to something else, but it’s an uphill battle).

I did it pretty inexpensive in the cameras front. Got a bunch of TP-Link Tapo cameras, registered them in the app, set the rtsp and Onvif on Frigate, and completely blocked their internet access. Works like a charm with cameras in the $25-65 range.

Our infrastructure seems pretty similar, except for the Radicale/Baikal part. I also have a Kavita instance, Vaultwarden, Frigate, Stirling Pdf, Immich (but I’m seriously thinking of dropping it as it sucks resources like crazy and tends to break often with very large libraries) and an instance of Wazuh to make sure I have as little potential vulnerabilities as possible in hosts and docker containers.

My wife says I spend too much time playing with my servers and network, but that keeps me home instead of outside, so you would think that’s a good thing 🤣

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.

Webdav is a great option too. I don’t know that it’s a question of advantage so mush as a matter of preference, honestly. I just like to have my services as segregated as possible. I use Radicale for contacts and calendar. That way, if radicale fails, I lost my ability to sync those, but get to keep syncing my notes and such, if Joplin fails, I lost that ability but my calendars and contacts still sync. I also share a lot of notes, lists and stuff like that with my wife, which makes it easier.

What I have in terms of self-hosted over 14 different services in ProxMox could have been solved by having a simple Nextcloud instance, but I feel nextcloud is overkill for my needs, and if it fails, all my services fail, so I moved away from it about 6 months ago or so.

Same, only I self-host a Joplin server. I have yet to find something that’s nearly as versatile with so little effort.
