Big P

I use it as a last resort backup for things that are worth the recall price if I lose them

Docker still makes sense on your own hardware. Especially if you’re the type of person to try out different programs often

Zerotier, although it’s similar to tailscale so you might have issues with it too

I’ve done it with docker swarm and it was awful, the connection latency would break the cluster constantly

You still need a reverse proxy just doesn’t need to be on a seperate server. If you want to do it without people having to install something, you may be able to use cf tunnels for the web pages but game servers definitely don’t work through that and you’d have to have some sort of external forwarding. Keep in mind though that will introduce possibly an unacceptable amount of lag to the server.

As far as I’m aware you don’t need a seperate VPS if you’re using tailscale, or you don’t need tailscale of you use a reverse proxy via a vps. You can just host it in the same place you’re hosting the games and apps.

Install promtail on the system where you want to get the logs from, then configure it with the paths to the log files and the address of the loki server

Loki with grafana

I think googling poe or poe computing will give you it

You don’t get the direct integration then though, as far as I’m aware there’s no way to manually setup an addon

Power to performance wise a pi isn’t actually that good. A thin client can run on less than 60W and offer far more performance

It’s the noise pingu makes

That’s what the word “for” implies in the title

Linux only on the main network.

Is that a security benefit?

What does using a good firewall mean exactly? As I understand it a port is either open or closed right? So what does a good firewall do that a bad one doesn’t?

Without more information it’s impossible to say.

“Matter Casting” is not a very catchy name

Pihole is great for blocking on things that you can’t install a local adblocker on. It does have downsides though, it can be annoying and block things you don’t want it to. It might not block ads well on your tv or might impair the functionality in weird ways. It can depend lot on which lists you add, but there are many available and they are usually quite well documented about their intentions.

Ah thank you

What’s crowded? I am having trouble searching for it because of its name
