Wholeheartedly support Tailscale or similar solutions. Reverse-proxy or VPN are just too complicated (for me, at least).

Instead of hiring brave and smart people to be the police, it seems people who are not brave, and dumb, are hired so they have access to guns to protect themselves again whatever scares them, including innocent humans. Sad.

My understanding is that Digital Foundry type of performance review is fine, but comments on how the control feels laggy or the game is a lower-tier copycat of Overwatch are not okay.

Does PF have a browser extension? TA has it, which makes it simple to download videos on demand.

This may sound pessimistic, but try to compare yourself with people who live worse than you.

Flox, MediaTracker and Movary. Didn’t try any of those.

Yup, the arrs and transcoding also takes up a bit of RAM. I mentioned RAM because some entry level NAS isn’t designed for anything other than file storage.

My advice is to make sure you have plenty of RAM. You won’t just install Plex. You probably want your NAS to download and manage the videos and all those applications take up extra RAM.

I purchased my first NAS a few months ago and I had zero knowledge of self hosting and zero knowledge of Linux. I did manage to install all of these applications but, as suggested by tutorials I read, also installed Portainer because using docker in a command line method was just way too difficult. I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be able to set up anything without a GUI.

I’m a newbie in self-hosting and Tailscale is super powerful for me. Everything at home is accessible on my phone, mainly music server and radarr/sonarr for watching show on the go. No need for subdomain or reverse proxy.

Just tried this out but couldn’t get it to work until downgrading mongo to 4.4.6 because my NAS doesn’t ha``ve AVX support. But then, mongo stays unhealthy. No idea why.
