I really hope you have that backed up
Lemmynsfw.com has plenty
Who in the world is using a USB printer in 2023?
Ethernet bby
As others have said, bitwarden. I've also heard good things about roboform.
I really love that bitwarden is not only open source but has been professionally code reviewed, and can be self hosted if you've got the knowledge to do so.
Of course, if you're self hosting it make sure you have a solid backup strategy for your vault.
All the servers I've spun up in the past few years have been Debian instead of my usual Ubuntu.
The last straw was kinda when I learned that installing docker via the install menu gives you the snap version instead of the normal one, with no indication that this is the case.
I'm using DuckDNS, it has a plugin for pfSense / OpnSense.
Mail server, but mostly because deliverability in this day and age is a nightmare. If you're some one off running your own mail server in 2023 be prepared to deal with many headaches around IP reputation.
I've been testing some alternative SBCs like the OrangePi 5.
Currently mine is a fallback DNS server and reverse proxy for my network, trying to come up with some other uses for it.
They're still low power ARM boxes, but they're much cheaper than the RPi is at the moment.
If you've got a copy of the data that's local, why are you opening up ports? Just run the backup job internally.
I'm also not fond of using SBCs as a NAS, by nature their I/O is extremely limited. It will probably work as a backup, but man do I not trust a USB interface at all.
I also recommend not relying on email for notifications - too unreliable. I use the healthchecks.io docker image and have it send me notifications via Pushover when something fails.
Nothing is really too much.
I have too much hardware to swap out to go 10G networking or I totally would.
The point of my homelab is for me to learn and break stuff in a safe environment, so if that leads me down a Kubernetes rabbit hole at some point so be it.
I only rolled my own Wireguard VPN because I wanted to learn how things worked on the backend - I've suggested Tailscale to many other people, its just a really well designed product.
It's astonishing to me how much they're giving away for free.
freshRSS. I'm using the linuxserver.io docker image.
Doesn't come with a power adapter and has weird power requirements. Wouldn't power up at all with a standard 5V 1A wall plug, needed 5V 4A.
Apart from that it's been perfectly fine. I wish other OS than the armbian they provide supported this CPU.
Someone may have commented this already but my recommendation is to set up an overlay network like tailscale or twingate.
Doesn't require you to open any ports on your firewall, and Tailscale at least is very performant since it uses Wireguard as it's underlying protocol. (I have yet to test Twingate but I've heard positive things.)
It will require a little more setup per device but it's honestly incredibly simple and more than secure enough for a home network.
Tailscale also has something called a subnet router which you can use to get incompatible devices onto the tailnet.
Me currently banging my head against the wall trying to get Sway configured.
I recently migrated all our various Excel and Word documents from Sharepoint into a self-hosted Bookstack instance. I love it.
I have one shelf for stuff like SOP, contracts, etc, and another for customer documentation.
You don't need to be home for a cron job to run.
USB has a bad habit of randomly dropping off the bus until you reseat the cable or reset the device.
I just use ssh for management. Monitoring is handled by nagios.
I'd run my own mail server if deliverability wasn't such a huge hassle.
Basically if you're not google or Microsoft... Don't even bother.
I have an rsync script that pulls a backup every night from my truenas server to my Synology.
I've been thinking about setting up something with rsync.net so I have a cloud copy of my most important files.
You can set up firewall rules to redirect the traffic destined for public DNS servers to your internal DNS server.
Not sure how to construct that rule in the unifi firewall but it comes down to "any outbound traffic on port 53 that's not destined for the adguard server, redirect it."
This is the one I'm using as well. I use it to keep my work laptop running Linux in sync with the various Windows desktops I use in our offices. Works great for keeping my work keepass vault in sync.
If you have a Synology their Surveillance Station product is amazing and will work with basically any IP camera brand.
Appreciate it. I wound up giving up on Sway just because so many applications fail to have proper support for Wayland. coughdiscordcough.
I've got i3wm configured for now, testing that out for a while.
I'll still save your config and maybe I'll fire it up again down the road.
Windows 11 on the main desktop for gaming reasons. Currently Pop_OS on the laptop, considering moving to Arch. My servers all run Debian or Ubuntu.
God damn I'd forgotten about Plymouth
Sounds like a cost of living adjustment to me.
I'd also like to know where these surveys are being run, as the COL varies wildly between states.
