WASTECH

I haven’t looked into Asahi Linux in a while now, but I figured the experience would be pretty good by now. You don’t need to “hack” anything to get it to run. Last I read, there were just a few driver issues, but I haven’t looked into it in probably 2-3 years now.

Apples implementation of SMB has always been abysmal. I’ve been using Mac’s for close to 20 years now, and connecting to SMB shares has always been a pain. IMO, it’s gotten better recently (since they dumped AFP and were forced to work better with SMB). For whatever reason, it has always been slow to connect through Finder. Not sure there has been much progress on that front…

Really makes you wonder what Apple uses internally, because it must not be SMB!

There is an iOS/macOS app called “Pi-hole Remote” that can manage multiple PiHole instances at once. I use that because it will make changes on both instances at once for me.

Other than that, I log in to each device and copy paste.

I’m pretty out of the loop. Did something happen with Twitch?

These contracts do not stipulate reimbursement for lost revenue. The “uptime guarantee” just gets you a partial discount or service refund for the impacted services.

It is on the customer to architect their environment for high availability (use multiple regions or even multiple hyperscalers, depending on the uptime need).

Source: I work at an enterprise that is bound by one of these agreements (although not with AWS).

I’ve tried both Unraid and TrueNAS. While I greatly prefer TrueNAS, Unraid is much easier to set up and get going for beginners. It’s been a while since I’ve set up TrueNAS from scratch, but last I tried, it wasn’t a very beginner friendly experience. If you weren’t already familiar with ZFS, you were in for a pretty difficult time.

I’ve never used your exact setup, but I have had issues with a web server behind a WAF not getting the client IP (all user traffic was shown as the WAF IP). In my case, the WAF was appending the client IP in a header, and I just had to tell web app to use that header as the client IP instead of the actual IP. Again, not sure if this helps since I have never used podman or caddy (this setup was with Wordpress and an Azure Application Gateway) but the same principles might apply.

I previously had a QNAP, and they honestly aren’t much better than Synology. I would definitely go the build your own route. For the OS, I really can’t recommend TrueNAS more. I’ve been using it for years and it is rock solid.

Beautiful photo! I’m going to Japan in October and I am so excited!

They mention in the post that other apps are coming soon. If they start letting you self host Protect, that will be huge. When they killed off Video, the only way to get their cameras to work was to buy their hardware that could run Protect. I was shocked when they allowed you to use 3rd party cameras in Protect.

What’s the difference between the two? Reading the GitHub for meshcore, it sounds exactly like meshtastic. What makes it better?

I moved all of my Docker containers over to TrueNAS apps recently, and it’s been great so far. Alternatively, I think the best option for keeping your compose files and all that would be to upgrade to 25.04 (Fangtooth). Fangtooth lets you deploy containers using compose YAML. Each app has to be in its own YAML which can be a bit of a pain, but you would fully own everything so no need to worry about another rug pull.

Alternatively, I’ve seen some people just install Dockge and run all of their containers inside of that.
