I think you a word.

Wow, gate keeping self hosting. I guess there’s one in every community.

No alt-text makes me sad. Can’t be an xkcd without it.

Just move to kbin.

I’ve been with namecheap a long long time now. They rarely raise prices and it’s usually because upstream costs go up and everyone is raising prices. I’m a happy customer and ain’t switching. I don’t get bothered for endless upgrades. I only get emails when my domains come up for renewal or on the very rare occasion this happens.

Depends.

I’ve also never had that issue. It’s had quite a few updates since I started using it.

Free olives, the cost is listed as 0.

Netdata is great and easily deployed via docker. I ran it bare metal before and was also pleased if that’s your preference.

Yeah, the situation you’re describing is impossible with docker because if you set it up as intended there’s no way for your containers to access the Internet without going through the VPN.

I have been using this for months and really like it. But I will warn people how easy it well it works depends heavily on the provider and protocol you use.

I have some experiences below, but I would just ask the creator of Gluetun what they use because it will be the best documented and supported.

Cyberghost worked well with OpenVPN but they do not allow port forwarding so I switched to PureVPN. PureVPN was awful, they allow port forwarding but you have to use very specific servers and there’s no way to control that with Open VPN on Gluetun because the server list is not up to date. I tried Wireguard and it worked but the slightest connection drop would cause port forwarding to stop working and I would have to redo the connection with new keys and all every time. Eventually it just stopped working no matter what I did and support was kind enough to refund me. I asked for the remainder of my subscription and not only did they not try to argue they gave me a full refund so that’s points for PureVPN.

Right now I’m using AirVPN which works really well. Once in a while port forwarding will stop working. But if I switch to another port it works again, so I just keep two ports open and change things client side and that seems to be the path of least resistance.

Another nice feature of Gluetun is an http proxy you can enable. Handy for private trackers that only let you access it from one IP for downloading and browsing. Just use an automatic proxy switcher in your browser.

Edit: fixed that last bit that was typed off screen on my phone because the kbin mobile site was being funky.

How are you scrobbling to last.fm? Is it from substreamer or is there a plugin for Navidrome?

You can automatically replace the tracks downloaded from YouTube using Lidarr and set it to upgrade monitored albums until they’re FLAC.

But even then, it goes down to the manufacturing of that chip. RPi foundation chooses it because it’s built to a cost and they cannot afford outbid people for it. So again, manufacturing profits. Whether it’s because RPi cannot afford to pay more for those chips to get what they need, or factories are simply de-prioritizing those chips for others that make them more money.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation doesn’t own factories… They have to pay for manufacturing capacity and thus are limited in that capacity because their boards are built to a very strict cost that they seldom raise.

I would give up before I figured that out and find some other service to use.

Because manufacturers prefer profits over the race to the bottom pricing strategy of many SBCs.

I do tone mapping just fine with a 1050 TI. It just happened to be what I had left over for my server and it works very well.

Nothing enrages me more than a password character limit. Thank you for making sure my password is LESS secure with your idiotic requirements based on security recommendations that are at least a decade old.

Contact Google support, I have no trouble port forwarding using the home app, other than their app is a bit cumbersome.

My biggest weakness is bad interview questions.
