I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?

Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now

No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).

Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.

I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.

The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself

On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.

Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.

In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.

There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.

I switched on the fork happily

hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…

It’s a myth.

Yes it takes longer, but specialy on headless server updates are pretty fast

Big boys like LibreOffice Firefox have also pre built binaries if you so prefer as well …

I use Gentoo since amd k6-400 MHz times so today build times feel like no wait at all

Low effort post?

What even is LuisCore?

No not much of the words let me understand what it does, except it has a new shiny feature about blah blah super specific mumble.

Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing… Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it’s just so much more convenient.

But never stop trying to understand and don’t be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)

Now, let me be polemical here …

(And this is to be read with a pinch of /s)

Selfhosting on windows and understanding what you do is so much better than selfhost on CasaOS/ZimaOS/FancyWebGui/Synology and just spin up containers randomly without even understand what a container is and how it does work at all …

Now roast me :)

I don’t think that Linux is in the title or description of this community!

You pick your own poison …

Mine is Gentoo Linux all the way, yours is Windows. Find two more selfhosters and they will criticize both of us! We are kind of the two extreme of the spectrum…

Welcome!

Thank you! I recently updated from Dokuwiki to Leaf wiki. Best decision ever. Not because Dokuwiki was bad, but I am truly fed up with php dependency.

Yes, there aren’t many options that is not idea but it works fine

You forget about that UI. Only used to create users. Then use. Cardiac/cal app like Dav5X on Android or similar to connect and do all the stuff like create, import etc

See my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/7-services/radicale

It also shows how to install infCloud to get an actual web GUI to use calendars from your server

Try LazyNVR for reolink cameras, it’s very lightweight and a different take than frigate https://codeberg.org/LazyNVR/lazynvr-sources

To my knowledge conduit is basically dead in the water. Very little updates if any.

When I chooses my matrix server, o went with the predecessor of Continuwuity and then migrated to Continuwuity and have been happy ever since…

Tuwunnel don’t know, I didn’t really appreciated the corporate backing somehow and lack of perceived transparency.

Is conduit actually still in business at all?

Yes … That is what pissed me…

But half day of cussing and swearing helped

Isn’t that the plesk added value?

Agree. I went directly with Jellyfin because I joined late the party, but never regret it.

So can’t comment on Plex, because I never used it. But I see the news and see the enshittified path it’s going on with Plex

I understand that they need revenue, specially if they actually provide the bandwidth to let you access your media from outside home. I also understand why people is mad, but I guess convenience come with a price, of you don’t want to pay for it, there are alternatives I don’t see anything bad in switching to jellyfin.

I fully understand your point, but the mailcow as open relay seems strange. Anyway, it’s a risk/cost tradeoff right? Everybody should do it’s own assessment and experimentation. But after the initial setup, it’s zero maintenance. The only maintenance i do is keep the stack regularly updated, and it broke twice in 20+ years (dovecot new config format, WTF…)

Isn’t that the gist of selfhosting?

Yes you can do it, yes you can have it done for you by somebody else. The first is fun, and risky, the second is less fun and less risky. We are all here for the fun… and probably we all don’t care too much of the risks. But why shut down everybody who ask about email selfhosting with a don’t do it? Let them try, make errors and fix them, maybe they learn something new, maybe it works out for them

What is the worst that might come out of it? Some spam? A blacklist? Come on, you can survive both. Don’t use your primary email account as self hosted from the beginning maybe, to mitigate all those risks, no?
