Agreed, if I can find the same item on other sites, its usually the same price or cheaper there.

I canceled my prime membership due to this, and found out that well, yes, you can buy anything elsewhere.

I purchased all mines from aliexpress. Same identical item, way cheaper than amazon.

Well I am pretty sure I have it on ZigBee… 4 of them… Name might be slightly different maybe, but indeed the r4 on ZigBee…

Don’t worry, here in Europe we are full of privacy laws but I still receive tents of spam calls per day. Usually from non UE countries faking the number with my country numbers.

Mostly not being dependent from a specific vendor, that’s all.

I prefer to use a VPS of my choice that I can replace when I want or need to.

As far as its backed by wireguard its safe enough I guess.

Stop spreading FUD. Syncthing for Android is very well supported and, while the official client will not have updates, there are other clients that are actively developed.

Sorry third post. Trying to summarize.

1. Get external access. Either via port-forward (you lucky American) or via VPS+ssh-tunnel or VPS+wireguard. Stay away from an hard dependency like tailscale and cloudflare (my personal opinion).

2. Setup a reverse proxy with SSL certs via let’s Encrypt (don’t go wildcard, no need to, just add complexity)

That’s the concept, implementation requires clearly extra steps…

See my wiki (https://wiki.gardiol.org/). O describe both the simple and the complex solution. But to be honest, the complex solution is not fully described yet.

If you need also external access, because you are behind a CGNAT or in general have no public IP at all, get a VPS and setup some tunneling.

I don’t like tailscale/cloudflare dependency so I have a different solution.

I have documented it all here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/

Slap a good reverse proxy in front of it (nginx I what I use) and set it up with HTTPS using let’s Encrypt. For added layer of security setup also some SSO like Authelia.

Or just go the VPN way but then, that will not be access from internet, only via VPN, only you will be accessing it.

Thanks, good to know alternatives to Lemmy.world!

Nothing against .world, but variety and alternatives are the gist of lemmy.

Thanks for the podman restart suggestion!

healthchecks.io seems not free or at least, very not open?

Nice tool! Simple to setup and pretty lightweight. It seems it cannot restart services tough, not monitor them specifically…

First copy on offline USB disk on my server itself. Disk is turned on, backup done, disk goes off. Once a day.

Second copy on a USB drive connected to an OpenWRT router of my home, the furthest away from the server (in case of fire, I could be able to grab either of the two).

Third copy offsite on a VPS.

I use restic & backrest with great satisfaction.

Feel you mate. Done that 29 years ago, still suffering today.

But happy about that!

My house has two furnaces: one gas (methane, or city gas) which I only use for water heating (showers, etc) and one wood pellet. They both warm up water in the heaters circuit, and can be used at the same way.

The gas one is more expensive to run (400€/month), but require zero maintenance, except some predictive maintenance like cleaning filters once a year in summertime.

The wood pellet one is way cheaper to operate (1.5k€/year, for 9 months of operation) but require weekly cleaning and daily fuel loading. Also for this one once a year maintenance is mandatory, deep cleaning, replacing some perishable parts and so on.

So, yes, every furnace require periodical maintenance to operate properly, and should work just fine for 10 or even 20 years if you are careful and do the proper maintenance.

Today’s kids play the adult role, eager to get older, pushed by advertising and social media.

Meanwhile, adults try to be the child they couldn’t be, now with money and freedom to be a childish idiot.

What a world.

Let kids play and be responsible adults.

Given your comment, I think you just got what you deserved. Come on.

Amazing, thanks, will try it out!

Thanks, will try reigns!

Uso restic e backrest da tempo…

Ottima coppia.

AMA!
