I second debian!

I initially had some trouble getting streamed games to use the integrated gpu while the server was headless. I’ve heard you can use a dummy plug into one of the hdmi ports, but I found that using “xrdp” as the remote desktop client works as well. I hope sharing this might save you the hassle evetually.

Tailscale is good because it never breaks if your ISP switches your home IP on you. The only downside is that some public or corporate wifi networks will block the official Tailscale servers

Do you think a simple local honeypot could be useful for detecting compromised devices on a home network?

Howso? Does it attract hackers?

Are you perhaps Greg from Task Master?

ssh only after a reboot doesn’t solve the problem, of course

For Jellyfin? You really don’t need much. A raspberry pi can run jellyfin if you don’t have a transcoded format. My main server is only using a 6th gen i3, and Jellyfin runs perfectly for everything. Never tried going above 1080p though.

Another glorious day of not having to worry about my nice and stable Debian server. It runs on an old Dell thin client I got on ebay, which isn’t much, but it gets the job done.

I use both, since they do different stuff. I actually remote into my servers with wireguard, but I like to install tailscale as well as a backup. Since each device gets a unique tailnet ip, I can usually still connect even if I’ve fucked up some network config that breaks wireguard. ((If this is a security risk, someone let me know because I have no clue what I’m doing tbh.))

Plus tailscale lets you easily see what devices are connected to the internet at a given time.
