Tailscale is available as an official DSM package, so if it’s only you accessing it you could still block it from the Internet.

Jellyfin is also available as a native DSM package through SynoCommunity, FWIW.

I’m interested in how you like Ceph.

My setup is similar, using a DS1522+ volume as shared block storage for an iSCSI SAN for three Proxmox nodes. Two nodes are micro PCs and the third is running on the 1522+. There’s a DS216j for backups.

Also make sure the Synology has enough RAM for what you want to do.

Some good ideas, looking to try homed out. I really hope it becomes easier to ssh into a host when your home directory is mounted from a NAS.

Seconded. Software RAID is much easier to recover from.

Hopefully we get an official XFCE Atomic desktop someday.

0 days since it was DNS

No but you see the drivers will be (must be) approved by Canonical which surely makes things better :|

I started with Red Hat, moved to Ubuntu, now back to Fedora Atomic and very happy with it.

GNOME, because I started with Red Hat 6 and I’m used to it, on Fedora Silverblue, because I have a long history of fucking up my PC and that makes it harder. For remote machines XFCE because the mouse is cute.

I run both for a similar reason. It’s the same library, point both services at it and you have more choice of apps. Yet another benefit to self hosting.

Synology NAS here also, divided into private (family stuff, docker volumes etc) and public (Linux ISOs and anything that can be redownloaded). Both get backed up weekly to an older NAS with Hyper Backup. Private additionally goes onto a LUKS encrypted drive monthly which is spot-checked, taken offsite, and the previous offsite drive brought back. I don’t back up any PC (don’t care, just reinstall) or phones (they are backed up on iCloud).

Ordered the Peri Peri Chicken Club at a cafe today as it reminded me of a strangely named game.

Sweet, just tried using the LibRedirect Firefox plugin to redirect search to these instances and it worked!

The way Bibi has responded, I’m not sure he didn’t know.

Ubuntu started and stayed great for many years. Now I feel it’s coasting on the name it rightly earned. It was my daily driver but I left after frustration with firefox snap and some networking malarkey I don’t care to recall. There are just better maintained distros out there.

It’s for the best

Agreed. I would also reconsider ditching the ISP router. You can still connect your gateway to it, and having the ISP device on premises can mean they might not blame your equipment for a line issue.

Is there a phone number I can call to check if I am?
