  • Using a VPN, even if the server is located in the same country, provides several benefits:

    1. Privacy: It encrypts your internet traffic, hiding your online activities from your ISP and potential eavesdroppers.

    2. Security: It secures your data, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.

    3. Bypass Restrictions: It can bypass internet censorship or network restrictions in workplaces.

    4. Avoid ISP Throttling: It can prevent ISP throttling based on content type or data usage, ensuring consistent internet speed and performance.

    Are YOU stupid?



  • I just recently got myself a Pi 4 8GB for €86 on Amazon, a barely used 10TB IronWolf NAS HDD for €120 on eBay, and an HDD enclosure for €20 that powers the HDD and plugs into the Pi via USB3. Currently it’s running Plex Media Server, qBittorrent, Wireguard, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, Caddy, and a few monitoring containers. It’s handling all of that easily. I’m using it headless and just stream content to my TV. Currently I have no redundancy for my drive, but I’ll get around to that eventually.

    You can of course keep using PiHole for your setup. I recommend you check out !selfhosted@lemmy.world and r/selfhosted.

    You don’t even need to buy a microsd card anymore because they now ship with the firmware that can boot from USB.
