I’m sure you’re already aware, but the framework laptop includes toggles for mic and camera. I’m a big fan of the laptops in general because of the upgradability and ease of repair.

I had a similar problem that ended up having to do with my server’s language settings. I didn’t realize you can select more than just “Undetermined” by holding down shift or ctrl. So everything tagged as English didn’t appear until I went back and fixed it. You can read the whole odyssey here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1205767

I’ve definitely heard bad things about Oracle deleting people’s machines without warning. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about Ionos. I may go with Linode, their cheapest VPS at $5/month has a 1TB transfer limit, which I might stay under. But please let me know if you end up finding a decent option from a reliable company!

I’ve definitely thought about it, and I would if it were just me. I share some services with family and I don’t want to be responsible for troubleshooting if they accidentally uninstall tailscale or reset their phones

For sure, I think Oracle has unlimited bandwidth even in it’s free tier. Ionos is one that I was looking at, fairly cheap but also offers unlimited transfer

Thank you for explaining and for the examples, it’s definitely time to start learning caddy. I liked npm for the simple gui, but security and reliability are more important

Are you sure it’s abandoned? The docker page was last updated three days ago and there is activity on the github page. Are they just updating the software without pushing any security fixes? I’ve definitely not had issues renewing certificates

Thank you! It does seem like there are afforadable VPS options that don’t limit traffic anyway, so I might as well start there.

Thank you! I have a followup question if you don’t mind. If I host npm on a vps that allows me, say 500GB of data transfer a month, and I am streaming media through a jellyfin instance that I have forwarded through the VPS, will the media I’m streaming count against that transfer amount? This seems like basic information that I should have learned a long time ago.
