Not a hackerman, but I really don’t think that 12yo CPU is much more secure than a modern one.

We already have charge-only USB cables. Near future will be video-signal-only HDMI cables. What a world to live in.

As a newbie in selfhosting, Immich is what I use almost every day. And it is so good. A literal Google Photos but it’s my own. Snappy web app and android app. Has epic face recognition, contextual search and now even text recognition. All that on an efficient and not so powerful N100 cpu. I can totally see why community loves it.

Mine runs on some rockchip and 2gb ram h side drivestor gen2 Nas. Sluggish, but works with no troubles so far. Or is indeed not a hardware hungry I stance if you use it for you yourself and maybe a few family members

Almost a year of S12 mini as services/HTPC. Cant be happier!

Good catch. My IP is dynamic. I’ll look into it, thanks!

I have noticed that Microsoft and google are trying to scan my domain for /php-myadmin and similar links that I thankfully do not have.

I had already fail2ban running but it failed to ban a single IP. I did setup custom filters that would ban admin panel scanning attempts but somehow now it also bans my home IP and my phone 5G ip sometimes. No idea how to fix it so far. Also, this filter/jail doesnt necessarily jail everyone attempting to reach these links, just sometimes it does.

MiniPC runs Mint. I will check firejail. Thank you!

I am thinking to do this but only one thing bothers me. I want only qBittorrent to be using VPN, not the rest of the machine. Is there a way to set only qBittorrent with Tailscale?

I will look into WireGuard! Thank you!

I have to pay for a VPN service. If I can skip paying by hosting it myself, I’d go the distance. It has been fun selfhosting services so far. I want to go deeper.

I had same issue gut relog helped to fix it

Running minipc with immich pointed to NAS drive with photos. I had issues with uploading files in the background on previous version but it seems to be fixed right now.

I had issues uploading big files to it due to it stopping uploading once app is minimized. As long as app is open on screen, it would upload files with no interruption. New version seems to fix this issue for me.

• Yes. Kind of. It is in EU but afaik piracy is not an illegal thing there yet or is not enforced as much compared to where I live now.

• Too late. NPMplus is up and running. Also, I like dark mode.

I’m a newbie to the whole selfhosting thing. Been doing NAS+minipc for past 6 months with a few services running. 2 days ago I embarresed myself.

So, I been running 5 services on nginx proxy manager. But I heard that NPMplus is slightly better and can renew certs automatically. I had transferred settings from NPM to NPMplus by hand off the photo and for some reason NPMplus couldn’t work with services ran on NAS. I went back to NPM and haven’t touched the issue til last Sunday.

During troubleshooting I found out that my dumb ass didnt pay attention and put ‘’:‘’ instead of ‘’." . So 192.168.xxx.xx became 192:168:xxx:xx and that was the reason I spent whole day troubleshooting the issue.

Next goal: go back to my homeland and set Pi3 at my parent’s place to be my VPN so I can setup an arr stack and automate media downloads in a way that govt. of my current residence couldn’t put a deep hole in my wallet.
