> is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue
Yes, that is a problem. We're still in a world where you need to manually enable port forwarding in order to get better seeding for bittorrent clients, and if you have CGNAT you're SOL (short of using a VPN or something to bounce through an external host).
It's likely because torrent software is older (& in crappier languages), and came about before CGNAT was a thing.
@mesamunefire @cm0002 Voice + Syncthing-fork is what I use. It syncs between an audiobook directory on my laptop and my phone.
@towerful @baatliwala For real though, I use old laptops for self-hosting so that I never have to dig up a monitor & keyboard.
@Shimitar @whysofurious Same. Getting an enclosure that can properly use linux's uas driver rather than the usb-storage driver is a night-and-day difference. Read the reviews and get a dedicated single-drive enclosure for like $30, and don't overlook cooling. Sometimes an external usb fan is a better option than an enclosure with built-in fans but poor airflow.
@Sunny Backups are done weekly, using Restic (and with '--read-data-subset=9%' to verify that the backup data is still valid).
But that's also in addition to doing nightly Snapraid syncs for larger media, and Syncthing for photos & documents (which means I have copies on 2+ machines).
@werefreeatlast I do this with yggdrasil. Every yggdrasil host gets its own unique private IPv6 address (routeable only to other yggdrasil hosts). As long as you have a single yggdrasil host that's located in public (I use a VPS for this), you can reach any of the yggdrasil hosts from any of the other ones via their IPv6 address. I then map those addresses with DNS, so I don't have to ever type them.
@ohshit604 @AbidanYre Nah, they are still doing releases, but they're hidden. You have to combine the past few releases to unlock the url for the latest release.
[I'm joking, of course.]
@sxan @elyviere In particular, there are two gl.inet models that you can install openwrt on: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/best-newcomer-routers-2024/189050/2
The other models run modified openwrt but don't necessarily allow you to install a stock openwrt release.
@Decipher0771 @victory Neat, I didn't know keepalived was still active and popular. https://bugs.debian.org/144100
@sxan @shortrounddev jmp.chat uses XMPP, and it's a very viable replacement for Google Voice (and generic SIP options like voip.ms), so that's what got me back on the XMPP train. No one else other than my family is using it with me, though, but it's still nice to have SMS, (encrypted & decentralized) family chat, and IRC (via biboumi bridge) in one desktop client.
