  • The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

    I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

    So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

    I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.








  • I’m interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

    I’m no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

    The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

    At least, that’s my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning…




  • Wait, ease of installation? As someone who had to walk away from a semi-homebrew, mildly complicated cloud storage setup recently, that’s not the experience I had. Networks within networks, networks next to networks not talking to each other, mapped volumes, even checking logs is made more complicated by containerising. Sure, I’m a noob, but that only reinforces my point.




  • I haven’t daily driven OSX for a few years now, but I still miss it every time I use a control panel on any other system. It’s so functional, intuitive, logical, consistent, and not a pile of dogshit to look at. If I want to change my IP address, I go to network, ethernet, IP address. If it’s greyed out, there is a lock icon right there. I click it, put in admin details, and then I can change the IP. All in the same window, in a consistent, logical flow.
