Unless something has changed recently, OPNSense doesn’t have an ARM build so it won’t work on the Pi4.

If you want to use the PI as a router you’ll probably end up with a double NAT situation which isn’t ideal but may work well enough. In terms of wifi performance, I wouldn’t expect a Pi to be particularly good here so I’m not sure this even worth it unless it’s just a budget issue and you don’t have any other options.

In terms of your problem, you should be able to assign the Pi ethernet port to the default WAN and WAN6 networks. As for wifi, the Pi adapter needs to have support for AP mode, and looking around it doesn’t seem clear if the built in wifi adapter supports that or not (most people using the Pi are using it purely as a router and not a wireless AP). If not, you’d need a USB wifi adapter that supports AP mode. You might want to get that additional ethernet adapter too for testing/debugging and it will allow you to add a dedicated wireless AP.

It’s nice not to deal with HTTPS warnings etc and as you said it’s more convenient to access by domain name rather than remembering port numbers. You should be able to technically achieve the latter in another way by using docker and configuring it to assign a real IP for each service (a bridge network presumably), then setting each service to use port 80 externally. But that’s probably as much work as just setting up a reverse proxy.

And if you’re concerned about exposing ports, you can use DNS challenge which doesn’t require opening port 80 on your router.

I haven’t tested the ebook functionality and I mostly use it for podcasts, but you should be able to download on the mobile client at least.

And if you’ve hosted it at home it will continue to work on the LAN if your internet connection goes down.

Assuming the Switch supports ipv6, and given how backward Nintendo’s tech tends to be, it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t.

Although at least nintendo.com has an AAAA record.

I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time

Probably where some of the attitude comes from. People are assuming that it’s paid IT people bringing their work home with them, which is a different case then a casual user trying out self-hosting without the broader background.

Although I haven’t seen this attitude myself so I suspect it’s not that common, and probably just a handful of users jumping to conclusions.

I haven’t tried it, but Tube Archivist may fit the bill.

The downside with ULA is that ipv4 is given preference, which is annoying on dual stack networks. I believe there is a draft RFC to change this but it will take a while for it to be approved and longer still for OSes to change their behaviour. I workaround it by using one of the unused (but not ULA) prefixes.

Pretty cool especially since it’s RISC-V. I’d have some concerns about the software and driver side of things, though (and the performance).

Ah Nvidia. Bazzite uses Wayland I believe since it uses the same gamescope session as SteamOS (unless something has changed recently). While it may be possible to get it working, I’d expect a much better time with an AMD card.

A traditional distribution may be a better bet with Nvidia for now.

There’s a bunch of other variants like PiKVM and BIiKVM as well. Even some cheap knockoffs on Aliexpress that may do the job.

Mainly because running multiple desktop machines adds up to a lot of power, even at idle. If you power them off and on as needed it’s better, but then it’s not as convenient. Of course, if you leave a single machine with multiple GPUs on 24/7 that will also eat a lot of power, but it will be less than multiple machines turned on 24/7 at least.

And the physical space taken up by multiple desktop machines starts to add up significantly, particularly if you live in an apartment or smaller house.

Vanguard is especially bad because it will not allow to run the game with Intel-VT/AMD-V enabled even if you are running bare metal as of its last update.

The Vanguard anti-cheat is incredibly invasive and something akin to malware, so that’s not surprising.

I’ve recently tried to do that using sunsine and different linux gaming distros and it was awful, the VM was working great for a few minutes and then suddenly crashes and I have to hard stop it.

Are you running this with something like libvirtd/qemu? If so, VFIO configurations can get pretty complex. Random crashes seem like MSI interrupt issues (or you’ve allocated too much RAM to the guest). Or it could be GPU reset issues that would also occur on the (Linux) host, a newer kernel and Mesa version in the guest may help.

Setting on the kernel commandline for the host to workaround MSR interrupt crashes:

kvm.ignore_msrs=1

If you’re running on a Windows host or with something like Virtualbox (assuming GPU passthrough is supported by these), YMMV but I wouldn’t expect good results.

Systems themselves are all around 5-20W, although the ones with mechanical HDDs obviously add their own idle usage.

I target a certain level of quality and a reasonable compression speed, and whatever file size it takes is what it takes. If a particular video needs twice the file size to reach the same quality than usual, then so be it.

DDG results weren’t too bad, although repetitious and focused on the history of the gag, and not particular examples.

absolutely grotesquely bad Apple Maps they integrate

You can use !maps query to workaround that. I typically end up using DDG as a frontend to other sites through its bangs syntax.

E.g.

!maps x location to y location

But yeah, if normal DDG results don’t work for you it’s probably not a huge gain.

In fact, if you are capable of the admittedly high bar of self hosting, use bit warden instead.

Vaultwarden, typically, because it’s fully free and more resource efficient. But bitwarden as the client of course.

Ledger/hledger may be an option if you’re command line inclined although more local only then self-hosted per-se.
