  • Could you run Tailscale? That way you can still use your internal IPs and just whitelist the tail scale subnet.

    You can put multiple shares on the same SMB for Plex. So you can use SMB and also Plex at the same time.

    Mini PC and high storage density do not mix too well unfortunately.

    Running off a USB bus is fine, but with that, I would still run it through the NAS. That way you can still access the files while aboard.






  • It’s hard to explain from scratch.

    Caddy is a reverse proxy software that essentially redirects traffic from a certain port to another port. For example external:port => internal:port. It also enables SSL encryption meaning everything will be encrypted en route between the external and the user.

    VPS is a virtual private server. Just someone else’s computer you can expose to the Internet.

    Tailscale is a mesh VPN that uses wire guard as its transport. I use this to tunnel between my VPS and my Immich server to hide my home IP and to allow encrypted traffic between my Immich server and my VPS.

    A zero-day (also known as a 0-day) is a vulnerability in software or hardware that is typically unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is available. The vendor thus has zero days to prepare a patch, as the vulnerability has already been described or exploited.

    There’s no fix other than security through layers.











  • Consider a dam that is 10m tall

    Then consider the height of water behind that dam is 5m tall.

    Does the dam need to be built stronger if the water behind it is 1 km long?

    How about only 500m?

    How about 1m?

    The answer is, it doesn’t matter. Water exerts pressure equally regardless of how much water is behind it.

    Therefore a graduated cylinder that is 10m tall needs to resist the same amount of force as a dam 10m tall regardless of how much water is behind the dam. Even a thin sliver of water 1mm thick and 5m tall has the same force as a 5m lake behind the dam.

    Incompressible fluids are pretty insane
