This is cool but for self-hosting you probably want a more robust monitoring system capable of alerting at all times. Prometheus is what I use. It also gathers data over time and can monitor many machines.

That’s odd because the clients are just web apps I think. That should work without crashing on a stable OS. I use them on Android mobile and Android TV with extensive subtitle usage and haven’t seen instability.

A funny thing I noticed is that the client distributed in F-Droid is extremely old even though it says it’s updated recently.

I switched from a heavily used Plex server with about 10 users to Jellyfin with the samw usage patterns abour half a year ago. So far it’s been pretty smooth sailing. A better world is possible!

Can confirm it’s the truth.

It’ll probably be great. That’s pretty much giaranteed based on the physics. That said, if you already have a mesh that has good connectivity, an antenna like this would probably just reduce the latency a bit. If you have latency-sensitive applications. I use an HA Yellow with its built-in Zigbee radio. It only reaches 5-10m. Everything after that is connected through the mesh.

Never had it. Z-Wave needs a differrnt antenna and since they’re using full-size antennas for these devices, the Z-Wave one is significantly larger so it’s a separate device.

Got the module some years ago when there were massive shortages. I found a couple CM4s and bought them at the time.

What are you comparing it to?

You’re supposed to set SQM lower than the WAN throughput. I think you’re right that by default it limits it by about 10%. There was some study over a decade ago on this that showed 20-25% limit is best for maximizing responsiveness under load. It’s not possible to effectively schedule packets if there’s no headroom.

I have a few Pi 4 + UE300 routers in operation that work just as well but this is a nice alternative if you have a CM4 lying around.

I don’t think so, not by DFRobot at least. That said, I think 2.5G is only useful for >1G internet connections. On the LAN side, the switch is what matters for LAN throughput.

I thought you might not be enraged enough. 😂

Buddy, TP USA material is now entering school curricula. The damage is continuing, hard.

Magnet or it didn’t happen.

Just another way to extract surplus created by the 99%.

ZFS. It runs on whatever RAM you give it.

As someone who’s done cloud infrastructure professionally, this is the right way to make a project for setting up self-hosted applications. Not writing a bunch of bash scripts and putting them behind some web UI. We have well established infrastructure/config-as-code systems that are the gold standard which runs most clouds out there. Ansible is one of them. That’s the right tool for this job and a ton of professionals understand it and therefore can easily contribute improvements for the ones who don’t to use. I’m unfortunatrly invested in SaltStack but I wouldn’t feel worried to deploy a (well reviewed) project built on Ansible. Then slap a web UI on it if you like but that should be another project that hooks uses this one.

You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end.

Basically means the user has to trust that project to do the right thing and be maintained to keep their setup secure.

Same. No WAN ingress without VPN.

“If you can’t configure Docker, reverse proxies, and Yaml files, you shouldn’t be self-hosting.”

If this is an example of gatekeeping, I think you are misjudging.

Whenever self-hosting there’s a very real risk of exposing your private data to the internet. Potentially a lot more private data than you’d otherwise expose via cloud providers. This risk necessitates a basic understanding of some of the importand bits and how to operate them securely. If not for that, then anything would go.

Understanding docker, reverse proxy, and YAML which is used to configure those is part of probably the simplest way to get to secure self-hosting. I’d add a self-hosted VPN to access local resources. I’m not aware of a magic UI solution that does it all and securely. Docker compose files are very accessible. A couple of those followed by docker compose up -d and you have a basic env up and running.

Generally the lack of knowledge in X or Y doesn’t mean there’s necessarily an easier path than learning X and Y and that you’re being gatekept by being told you have to learn X and Y. Some things are harder than others. Buying Apple Cloud and setting it up is easier than self-hosting Nextcloud. I don’t think that should be the case, but today it is as far as I’m aware.
