Emm… I did, it’s this post 😅

It’s more like: I know people do this, but I don’t, so I wanted to see what was the reasoning behind these things.

That was an amazing read. Thank you.

What do you say is the use case for separating guest Wi-Fi with the more “private” stuff on your network?

As far as I understand… Basically all communications, even inside a network, are encrypted… So I guess you do that to avoid someone trying to exploit some vulnerability?

IMO there is something magical about having it all running under such a small footprint device, where a simple aluminum case brings it enough cooling.

Obviously if you want to go for huge media consumption or local AI, then it won’t be enough, but for running Home Assistant, qBitTorrent, syncthing… You’ll be fine and supergreen.

Your plan sounds like exactly what Piped or Invidious are doing, just that you do want to do it yourself, on your server, so it’s worse in terms of privacy.

Looks good, but seems a bit outdated? Are you using it?

As I said… I know of its existance but it seems like distribution channels are non-existant, which makes me precautious about using it.

Can you turn off the computer with KDE Connect?

The main goal of these projects (SearxNG, Piped, Invidious, Nitter…) is to make it way harder to track users by having thousands of users make requests from one single place. If you host this service just for yourself… you’d get the same tracking as using the service itself.

Self-hosting just for yourself damages the community a bit because your data will not be used to confuse Google and the other guys.

I don’t think it makes sense to self-host these services, unless you plan to open it up for everyone.

I don’t use Google Calendar, I use Samsung’s.

RPi 5???

Ubuntu LTS (the most used in servers) is also outdated packages with security vulnerabilities, so…

The thing is that, Debian and Ubuntu, both apply security patches very fast with minimal implications, making these servers very reliable, stable and safe, unlike closed source alternatives.

I’ve been using this after, like you said, 2 weeks of full-time silent 3V fan, leading to a sudden increase in noise and worse performance (it essentially broke), and… damn, it cools even better now, it’s more temperature-stable, and it’s absolutely silent, while no extra power consumption is needed.

It is also true that I try to keep HAOS with as little concurrent addons as possible.

The case is really cool once set up, I love how it feels. It’s got a purpose and it’s going for it. Really feels like it was made 1000% for dissipating heat. And it works like magic.

Yeah, this too… like… I have Bitwarden synced in different computers/phones, so at least most of the passwords will still be somewhere.
