Can just point it to /dev/shm as a transcoding folder, for a quick and dirty way.

Otherwise you’d mount a tmpfs disk.

If it hung like that, you probably have some sort of storage issue or high memory consumption pushing the box into swap.

Intel amt may help you, if you want hardware then google pikvm. Raritan also makes a small single node ip kvm, but it’ll probably cost more.

It’s perfectly effective, they become fully isolated from each other. Yes vlans would work if they’re all on the same host. If they’re not on the same host you would need a vlan capable switch, or at least one that’ll pass tagged packets through.

Check out tailscale

You would configure your pi to be a subnet router it should be stupid easy to get going.

Radio waves travel at close to the speed of light. Latency generally just comes from raw distance, unless the packets are being processed by a slow / overloaded device on route.

If the wifi has to retry a lot due to noise or low signal you’ll see loss and latency spikes, but otherwise its very little.

Yes, why would expect otherwise?

Unless you’ve got signal issues, wifi doesn’t add more than a few ms

The last release (or maybe the one before) did a bunch of DB cleanup that reduces the db size by about 20gb.

Are you on the latest version?

Is the space used by pictrs, or your db?

Don’t buy dlink ones if you have arc fault breakers. They’ll randomly trip them, even on totally different circuits.

Fuck powerline over Ethernet. Took me way too long to identify the cause.

At this point I’d install wireshark and see if I’m getting their TCP connections at all.

Given your other routing issues though, I would guess you have another config issue on your firewall.

Your ISP may block 80 / 443. Try moving your webserver to an alternate high port and ask the users to test with that.

Do you have a different firewall/router you can try? Even just plug your PC directly into the modem for now to bypass your router and rule that out.

Blacklists are not your problem.

Are you sending email from your ip?

If not this is irrelevant. Those block lists are only for email related spam filtering.

If you are, don’t send email from a home isp
