Thank you for answering very clearly. That's what I was expecting to hear. I was also looking at Nerdrack. It's very interesting to hear your bandwidth numbers, I would only be serving to three users, so I'd likely be looking at much less than your 300 GB, which is very good to know!

Using it now for just jellyfin and it works well, but at this point it's still in beta and there's a maximum of three ports available.

It's the ISP. I've asked about it, they won't let me do anything about it unless I sign up for a business account at triple the price.

And no, I don't need a VPS strictly for Tailscale, but i do want to access my tailnet from machines where I cannot install Tailscale (at work and on a roku tv in a remote location, specifically).

 

Another Lemmy thread led me to thinking about getting a cheap VPS for my homelab. I'm double-NATted by my ISP, so I can't do traditional port forwarding. I'd like to get a cheap VPS, install Tailscale on it, and access my homelab from anywhere without having to have Tailscale on every device I use (at work where I can't install it, for example).

I found a cheap VPS company and the plan I was looking at gives 1000 GB bandwidth per month. Some of the things I want to access are media servers (Navidrome and Jellyfin). So if I set up the VPS with nothing but a reverse proxy and Tailscale, will all my Jellyfin traffic go through the VPS and count as bandwidth used?

If your purpose for using cash or Monero is privacy, that's fine. If your purpose is to avoid paying fees to third parties just for the privilege of paying by a certain method, the swap service just takes the place of Visa/Mastercard.

As a 911 operator, I hate the SOS function and it has just gotten worse. Between this and the "car crash" detection, I spend 40% of my work day tracking down false alarms, often at the expense of using resources for actual emergencies. If I ever meet the person who decided to turn on the SOS function by default, I'm going to punch them squarely in the nose.

I hope so. It'll be fun to watch.

Ben and Jerry's used to make oatmeal cookie chunk that was phenomenal. They discontinued it in 2014.

 

It's that one little chunk at the end that's not covered...

As a full-time linux user since 2005 and a guy who swears every time he has to use a windows machine now, the Windows phone was actually really good. It had very few apps available and it certainly never took off commercially, but my girlfriend had one back in the day and it was a surprisingly nice piece of work.

I have no doubts that if it had gained traction and still been around today that it would be absolutely unusable.

I strangely went the opposite way on that, I liked them as a kid but find them too sour now.

Best of luck! One of these times it'll stick, and until it does every attempt is worth it anyway.

 

I'm thinking of moving from Mullvad to ProtonVPN mainly for the port forwarding, but I have some questions. The documentation on the ProtonVPN website is dated and I don't know if it's still accurate.

Can you forward multiple ports simultaneously using the ProtonVPN linux app? The documentation also seems to suggest that the forwarded port will change every time I disconnect or reconnect the VPN, necessitating a change in my (ahem) clients' configurations, is that actually the case? If it's not possible to port forward multiple ports at once, can the linux app do split tunneling of my Plex server that's started at boot time?

Thanks to anyone who can answer any of these questions.
