Your last paragraph is explanation enough I agree. But tbh the phone tower thing sounds like an edge case. Yes, if your wife is watching the live feed of the cameras and is sitting on a highspeed train it will happen but that doesn’t sound like a very likely scenario to me. Although I probably underestimate the times you are actually moving while checking the cameras. Cuz idle time on transportation is a good time to do that. Anyways thanks for keeping the lights in the Casa turned on.

Cant you just install a VPN profile on your wife’s phone? Like companies do

I guess we could still fork the current Bitwarden client?

Selfhosting on a VPS can have its use cases (piracy). If you are worried about exposing it to the internet just don’t and ise company profiles on your devices to automatically connect your network using VPN

Oh it’s actually more like 20€/y i just realized, $19,80 to be exact. Bitwarden. But there was a post the other day that enshittification is going to start soon so idk what I will get then. If there is no good alternative I will probably start selfhosting that too

Password manager for 10€/y and webspace which is free cuz I host some websites for money

But why does NPM enable post install scripts by default? Why is there no way to define a minimum release age for dependency versions? It’s just poor design choices.

you need to figure out what VLANs you need and how the communication (firewall rules) between them should work or not work. Which devices are connecting to your services/proxmox host from which VLANs? To actually answer your question, if you want to figure it out try it in a tested lab setting or do this when you have time. I spent quite some time troubleshooting why certain firewall rules don’t work as expected,

I think we should have a system to find and join self-hosted instances from other people. Most of us probably dont mind a few more users since our servers are idling most of the time. And this would not require grandma From Facebook to docker compose….

If you didn’t already, I would also recommend hit up the guys on the openWRT forum.

For me it just worked to register it a day after is expired through my provider that I am always using. I also thought no one will be this fast/that interested and that turned out to be true.

Ok maybe I don’t fully understand yet. Let’s say an access point has 3 SSIDs, lan, guest and iot each client on each SSID gets a vlan tag accordingly. So it’s only connected to a single physical port, i think that’s what confused me. But SSIDs are interfaces just like an physical port afaik so your analogy still stands. The security here is the WiFi password anything that connects to LAN gets a LAN vlan tag. but it’s not like anything that connects to any of the SSIDs can get the DHCP lease of some random device on any vlan cuz it got tagged before. Or am I missing something?

That’s a very cool feature actually but how does it stop a hacker if he has obtained a trusted MAC address from another device and connect to vlan 20 directly while the real device is offline?

FYI I learned About VLANs that it is in no way „locked down“. I can spoof the MAC address of a known device from a specific VLAN and I’m in that VLAN. Yes your devices can’t reach the internet/other devices by default but it won’t stop a bad actor.

Confused web dev noises

Yea tbf they released the web version as they crippled the third party stuff, so it’s a compromise I guess. And they could’ve also stayed app only and we would’ve been fucked completely

All I can say is that there were multiple good ones but Instagram crippled them, devs have repeatedly expressed their frustration and gave up practically. So no there is no frontend for Instagram that’s works anymore. Thanks meta!

I actually bought a ausustor NAS with the intention of flashing it with trueNAS or run headless. But tbh the OS does what I need rn with reasonable effort and I actually stuck the the stock OS. The backup options are not that great to use and with one press backup you can only save a single share at a time. So I am using syncthing for that.

I saw esp32 picture frames That fetch images via WiFi, but this would be a lot of DIY.

My personal favorite is using all already always on devices such as a wall mounted tablet and let them have a screensaver that rotates through is set of images that change regularly.
