I still find it hilarious that since dd-wrt and OpenWrt are just… Linux, you could install Super Mario Bros on there. I checked, nobody seems to have tried.

Oh, definitely, but there are varying degrees of difficulty, esp. with what kinds of packages / package management you have available :D

Ah, that make sense. Is Wireguard P2P?

Yes, in the sense that each node/device is a peer. But the way I'd suggest you configure it in your case is more akin to a client/server setup - your devices forward all traffic to the "server", but it never takes initiative to talk "back" to them, and they do not attempt to communicate with each other. Unless you have a separate usecase for that, of course.

You both are perfect for each other, so don’t screw it up!

I’m actually surprised nobody suggested simply using the Pi with OpenWrt as my own router. Though, that would make it hard to host Jellyfin.

A brief internet search shows that surprisingly, hosting Jellyfin on OpenWRT should work.... No idea how well though. Come to think of it, having OpenWRT on the pi might make it a lot easier to configure, with graphical settings available and so on.

Could you explain Wireguard vs. Tailscale in this scenario?

I've never used tailscale, I'm afraid. Normally I would say: just use whatever seems easier to set up on your device/network; however, note that tailscale needs a "coordinate server". No actual traffic ever goes through it, it just facilitates key exchanges and the like (from what I understand), but regardless, it's a server outside your control which is involved in some way. You can selfhost this server, but that is additional work, of course...

Thank you all so much for your help! This is likely the solution I will go with, combined with another one, so again thank you so much!

Glad I could help, after being so unhelpful yesterday :)

P.S. I don’t care if you wrap an ethernet cord around her finger, get going!

Eh... Marriage is not really common in either of our families. We agreed to go sign the papers if there ever is a tax reason, lol. Sorry if that's a bit unromantic :D Nice rings though ^^

Lmao, what, that's wild. How did they justify this??

Ahh those fuckers.

The point is to ditch the dependency on a corporate Overlord, not to find a different daddy

We only have two "smart* things: when we get up to pee at night, a motion sensor turns on a light in the living room. Much dimmer than those premade motion activated lights, so we don't wake each other. Returning to bed and triggering the sensor again turns it off.

And when it has been raining more than a certain threshold in the past 24h, the outlet into which the pump that feeds our drip irrigation is plugged turns off, and on again when it hasn't been raining for a while. Saves lots of water, especially when we are on vacation. (The rest of that system is " dumb", though.)

Because while he dresses it up as scientific theories, he's just spewing unfounded conspiracy theories?

Because this stuff is a conversation starter in the same way that "the moon landing was staged", "the earth is flat" and "chemtrails turn the frogs gay" is?

Because instead of actual scientific education or archeological documentaries, this is the shit that gets funded? Because who knows how many people will now believe that his fanfiction of a theory is a legitimate interpretation of humanity's history?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as condescending, I really don't. But his entire "documentary" is deeply unserious at best, and an outright lie at worst.

My very first job, right out of school and before Uni, turned out to be almost only be "make calls" (not a call-center or anything, it was administrative tasks that required calling partnered businesses).

I only had that job for 6months or so, but I'm glad I had it. I still prefer Mail, but very often making a quick call is the way to go, and not being afraid of them makes your life way easier.

Edit: forgot to say, I'm Gen Z I guess.

I gave it serious consideration when the death of Atom was announced and I was unsure where to move on to.

Looks like in the meantime a lot has been done (as far as I remember, TreeSitter and LSP weren't built in back then...? Not sure though), but the lack of a plugin system is still killing it for me.

TBH it looks like it has 75% of the features you want from a codeditor, which is much more than the use-case for Nano, but no way to go the remaining 25% of the way.

Yeah this is severely lacking in terms of theoretical compsci.

I thought about adding a link, but am a bit hesitant to de-anonymize myself on here 😅

But it's basically this:

  • Proxmox is not Nix configured. There's a project for that, but IMO t'll take a couple of years to be ready for production.
  • I've created a custom nix module that essentially just sets my default values for stuff like bios type, boot order,... And allows to set CPU cores, RAM, IP,...
  • all this does though is just setting the corresponding values from the nixos-generators proxmox output
  • additionally, all the usual stuff is handled (user, known ssh keys, base config of the system)
  • for each VM, I only have a single file containing the VM settings (ID, RAM, cpu, ip,...) and the service config for whatever the VM is for
  • then lastly I have a custom script/shell that essentially just allows to do "nixvm-new " which generates the image, moves it to the nas, and calls on proxmox to import the image, plus some cleanup

TBH this sounds way more complicated than it is / feels to use 😄

The only flagship phone I know that has all the features (3.5mm, SD card,...) is the Xperia 1 series, and those are kinda expensive, sadly.
