The SSD nowadays have a very high write limit, unless you’ll keep writing data on them constantly, you’ll never worn out. You will have to write about 500 times the whole SSD to wear it out (some thousands for enterprise SSDs).

I’ve used about 10 years ago too, but I’ve heard that now it needs a Mikrotik device but I’ve nver had the time to test it

Can it discover non Mikrotik devices?

Got it, good idea, thanks!

I’m sorry, but I still don’t understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate bit? Thanks!

Why Tailscale AND Headscale? Arent’t they the same thing?

Definitely a good suggestion!

I’m using a M720q with an Intel i5-8400T for the same purpose and I’m happy with it.

I’ve abandoned Contabo a couple of months ago and I’ve never been happier! One of the worst customer service ever and the resources that they specify in the plans don’t seems real to me.

Exactly, this I what alI do!

On another note, I received some flack last week for poking fun at the Immich devs for prioritizing the platform’s new mascot over a feature I’ve personally been looking forward to (yes, they were in on it). I had planned to make a formal apology this week until I noticed they dropped another release that again left me feeling neglected as they instead celebrated 60k GitHub stars (is that a lot?).

If you need me before next Friday, I’ll be busy making the transition back to Google Photos while enjoying this custom CSS for styling a Flame dashboard to look like the Lumon MDR terminals from Severance

Both these sentence feels very childish to me. First of all, it’s an open source software, nobody can pretend anything!
Second, it’s clear that, as mentioned by one of the developer, they were joking about it

If he was joking too, I didn’t get it.

I use Alps bigger peaks for the hosts like:

• Castore
• Polluce
• Lyskamm
• Gnifetti
• etc.

(yes, mainly from Monte Rosa) and smaller peaks for the VMs:

• Grigna
• Grignetta
• Resegone
• Cornizzolo
• Palanzone
• etc.

Right, I should probably map the file directly to the system log folder. I’ll try that.

The price rboem problem is that the log file is inside the container in the www folder.

Edit: typo

I use SMTP2GO (with my own domain) with the free plan (1000 email per month) that’s way over a selfhoster needs.

I’ve read the article and I couldn’t see any implication of Seagate. I’m not saying anything about your story, shame on Seagate, but I don’t see what that has to do with the scandal in the article.

The entire point of selfhost is to host private services not available to the public
Probably your entire point, a lot of self hosters self host services that family members and friends can reach most of the time without the need of a VPN. This very community is full of examples.

It’s infinitely more secure

I’m with you about that.

There’s simply no room for an argument.

As stated in the other post, I’m sorry about that, I’m here to discuss and learn, if you don’t have room for an argument, our discussion ends here.

VPN is objectively better in all possible situations.

Exactly! in all possible situation!!!

Only a hardware firewall would do this. If it’s software, like implied in your post, no traffic is filtered and all connections are accepted.

Talking abut netfilter, since it manages also the forwardning, it for some strange reason it should crash, NO IP traffic is flowing

VPN is the least amount of work for the most secure setup. There’s nothing to even argue, its superior in every way.

If there’s nothing to even argue, then I say goodby to you since I’m here to discuss. All the best!

Well…if you edit your post after someone has replied to it at least specify what’s you’ve edited and don’t pretend that the answer that somebody else has already given you wasn’t about your non edited post!
If you (my mistake) wrote VPS instead of VPN, you can’t pretend that I’ve answered about VPN!
If you can convince your family member and your friends to use a VPN to use your service, that’s good for you, and I mean it!
But saying that it’s quite impossible to do that, I think that I’m speaking for 99% of the self hoster (is this correct in English? Bah, you got me!)

If for whatever reason your firewall is down, there’s unrestricted access to your server…

I don’t know what kind of firewall you use, but if my firewall is down there is NO traffic at all passing through!

And by the way, since I’ve replied to someone that don’t want to use VPN because he doesn’t want to give access to the whole network, I meant that he could use a VPN AND iptables to restrict the guest access to single services instead of the whole network.
