The way I get around the syncing issue is to set my syncthing to sync when my phone is charging so it’s very unlikely to not be in sync, or if I change a password on the PC I’ll plug my phone into a USB and it syncs straight away.

I also use KeepassDX on Android and never have those issues.

I would ssh into the opnsense box and press 8 to run the shell terminal and then run dmesg and go back to the time the server rebooted, there you can see the events leading up to the shutdown.

That’s awesome, best of luck it stays that way!

Dang, how does your isp feel about that many machines talking out to the internet, have they made you pay for business plans yet?

If you want privacy try njalla. A bit more expensive but they do try hide as much data as possible and I’ve never had any downtime with them.

I just run a full desktop and either use a browser for things like youtube and I have jellyfin media player for other media

I use a beelink nuc, put on Linux and just connect it via HDMI to my tv, this way I have no real restrictions and I can keep it up to date easily.

Yep, after you realize the majority of the stuff you can buy of Amazon is mass produced trash with zero quality. It was easy to remove.

I do this exact thing and after a year or so of running my invidious instance locally I’m not banned and never had any issues and I use it about 5 hours per day give or take. Hope this helps.

Looks like revolut works in Australia but based on their help page

“maximum of 20new virtual cards every 30 days”

Unless you need to burn through virtual cards like nobody’s business this would be more than enough, all your bank would see is you sending money to revolut so all those data points on what you spend money on in the banking apps won’t work anymore.

I set up flexo for Arch Linux update caching and squid proxy for Alpine, Debian. This stops me from having to download the same files over and over.

Hey I do this exact thing as well. Would highly recommend if you like self hosting podcasts to listen to.

I use zabbix to monitor everything, agent on each device uses around 30 mb of memory and with the Linux templates it can monitor just about everything on the server.

I mainly use DSub simply because I don’t need constant updates for my music player and it already pretty much does what I need it to. The other plus it’s on F-Droid so I don’t have to use Aurora store to download it.

Yeah this is it for me, I’m happy to connect to it via IP and I only have to punch 1 port open in my firewall for wireguard and I can access more than just my music server remotely.

I use Navidrome as the backend and DSub to connect to it. When I’m on the go I use a site-to-site wireguard VPN connection back to my server to listen to music and it also caches the songs so even if I don’t have reception I can still listen to my music.

Assuming you already have docker and docker compose set up on your server I just followed the docker compose file section on their installation wiki and got it working within minutes of deploying it.

I personally self host my own Viewtube using docker and it works really well.
