What’s happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?
I didn’t do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I’m not sure if I want to have everything twice.
Not quite homelab, but I’m about to install Linux Mint on my mom’s laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I’m still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.
I finally got my ISP to enable bridge mode on my modem.
I also learned that I didn’t lose port forwarding and related services because I had been moved behind CGNAT or transitioned to IPv6 – they simply no longer offer port forwarding to residential customers. Ruminate on the implications of that statement so I’m not the only one with blood pressure in the high hundreds.
My ISP did the same thing recently and what was most annoying is they didn’t admit to changing anything, while trying to sell me a business account.
This weekend I setup Pangolin on a budget VPS and forwarded it back home. I don’t have my VPN backup but it fixed Plex and I can access my security cameras again.
