Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists
A question re. #wireguard
When I'm away from home I usually connect to my home (US) and my server (Europe). However sometimes (not always) the connection to my home is blocked, I don't know if it is caused by my phone company or my ISP. I blame the latter, because the connection to my european server never fails.
I wonder if there is something I can do in those cases?
I guess I could try to redirect the traffic to use the european server as a proxy, but that would make things slower the 90% of the time this isn't a problem. Also, this would require me to switch wireguard connections manually, which is not ideal, especially if I'm driving.
Another alternative would be tailscale (maybe with headscale), but I'd rather keep my infrstructure as wireguard only.
Any ideas? cc @[email protected] @[email protected]
How can you increase the disk capacity on a MiniPC?
I already have a 2TB SSD but I would like to have a raid of SSD or NVMe, but I'm not sure what is the best solution for MiniPCs
Any experience with a similar problem?
I have a Kasa HS210 3-way switchm but it has started to fail... maybe it is related to the fact that I blocked the DNS entries to tp-link servers, but every a few days it restarts it self.
Do you have a recommendation of a local-only 3-way switch that is HomeAssistant friendly (and hopefully not super expensive)?

When I open a file Jellyfin always shows "fetching additional data".
Is there a way to do that before opening a file, ideally for all files?
Now that Mozilla will start selling ads what is the best Firefox alternative?
Self hosting kids-friendly multiplayer games on Raspberry Pi 4
I'm working on a little project and I would like to have some multiplayer game that I can play with the kids. Ideally they should be little kids friendly, so no doom or quake.
I tried Minecraft, bedrock but the latency over wifi (and it needs to be over wifi for my project) is really bad.
In an ideal situation, I'd like to have one or more games that
- Can be played in multiplayer mode
- Ideally you only need the browser
- Is relatively lightweight, so can be run on a Raspberry Pi with Wifi
Any suggestions besides the one I mentioned? Maybe some emulator that can be used? Thanks!
Question about replacing/expanding a disk
I have a small mini pc as server similar to [1], which has a super nice small form and has an internal slot for a 2.5" ssd disk. Currently I have a 2TB SSD, but it is filling up rapidly.
My options are:
I wonder what are the pros and cons of each option. I like 1 more because the form factor of the homelab is maintained and I don't need to plug yet another thing. OTOH I'm allergic to spending money 😆 so a cheaper solution (about 4 times cheaper) is always welcome.
Maybe I'm missing a third alternative? Opinions?
Syncing password between firefox clones
I use floorp at home and firefox at work and I would like to sync password between those in a self-hosted way. I saw some mozilla server code somewhere to do so, but seems abandoned.
I would prefer a native mozilla-like solution instead of installing an extension, but if nothing else, that is also an alternative... suggestions?
Question about #restic
Currently I'm backing up my personal computer on a local server and a remote repository. The easiest solution is to have a cronjob for 2 processes. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to scan the files only once and send the backup updates to both repositories instead of doing two scans... suggestions?
There should be a “shower thoughts mode” in the shower so after you clean yourself, the current water used in the shower is recycled and reheated. In this way you can keep shower thinking without wasting water cc @[email protected]
Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?
I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.
It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.
What are your strategies to avoid this?
Firefox alternatives
I'm thinking of switching to some Firefox alternative, but there are too many. So far, I'm thinking of Floorp, Waterfox or LibreWolf, but it is hard to decide on one specifically. Is there are suggestion in terms of privacy, security, maintanability, etc?

Is there an equivalent of o-rings for kailh choc v1 low profile?
If so, what is its name?
Is there a type of switch that is closer to a chiclet in terms of travel distance?
What about in terms of sound? I tried some kailh and they still felt a bit too long. Any suggestion?
