I do, mostly for my self but I do allow registrations. I’m generally the only user though.

The communities that I do have get a little trafic - but they are very NZ and niche

I had that problem once, just had to delete a duplicate db function

Email… My wife really wants to further de-google, this means moving custom domains off gsute.

Do I move to proton/tuta or go back to self hosting email again like I did for years until about 2010?

If I self host, do I do it at home or on the server that runs my lemmy instance?

I hadn’t seen all that. I may have to move my services again

I run opnsense as a VM and have done for maybe 5 years now, moved across 3 different sets of hardware.

I DO have a hardware router under the ONT for if / when I feck up proxmox.

Snapshots are great when you start to play with the firewall settings or upgrades

I had/have no trouble here

I run opnsense in proxmox, and have done for what must be coming up to 5 years.

Yes I have fucked up proxmox occasionally, but I use my ‘router’ as my wifi AP. If I have fucked up I can bring internet back up with a single cable swap and a quick config change on the router

I’ll be intrested in the results of this thread

I use AdGuard in my OpnSense firewall.

Why do you want a server on proxmox and NAS? or have I read this wrong?

I run proxmox and a trunas VM.

• TrueNAS is on a virt disk on a NVME drive with all the other VMs/LXCs
• I pass the HBA through to TrueNAS with PCI passthrough: 6 disk Raid z2. this is ‘vault’ and has all my backups of hone dirs and photos etc
• I pass through two HDs as raw disks for bulk storage (of linux ISOs): 2 disk Mirrored zfs

Seems to work well

I’m wondering if you have an incorrect gateway set or default route

also, what ports on both routers are connected? are they both using “WAN” for their uplink?

As said look at DHCP clashes or " Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either"

What do you mean by this? The ones I know of will drop the connection to 10mb or 100mb and will on work on both “halves” at the same time*

you could probably find cheaper with more to do more

I see you mentioned the free Oracle cloud servers, they are not simple to use like many cloud VPS. But if you wanted to go down that route then if you get a full account with a CC on file then you can normally get the ampere instance (still free)

I say go with proxmox on the n100 (I use it), there are alternatives kvm/QEMU managers that I heard good things about as well (namely Incus https://github.com/lxc/incus )

This has taken a long time to get this far, must try it again…

Install was painless and completed in under 60sec, boot was fast, maybe not as fast as the good old BE5 and it seems to work.

/me looks at his lemmy instance domain

I only use proton VPN for public wifi and have had no issues with it. Can select your locations and some do support torrenting if you need that.

after illegal raids on his house.

With the amount of CC and GPL content that has been ingested I don’t know that from a philosophical point
