Accessing NAS when not on LAN

So I have a TrueNAS server set up at home, and it would be cool to have access to it at all times. I currently have Syncthing set up to access and back up my most essential files on my phone and laptop, but it would be nice to be able to access all the … legally obtained files I have stored there wherever I go. I looked into...

I’d also suggest Tailscale, it’s how I access my Synology away from home.

I’ve setup wireguard before but… Tailscale is so damn easy. And no need to open ports!

My understanding is that the email is encrypted still so… they hand over the encrypted data which might be useless.

(CEO did a podcast this week for a Linux podcast)

How often do you back up?

I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales...

5 minutes after every computer boot to a NAS. Then nightly from the NAS to the cloud.

AirDrop cracked by China, revealing phone number & email (9to5mac.com)

The Beijing institute developed the technique to crack an iPhone’s encrypted device log to identify the numbers and emails of senders who share AirDrop content, the city’s judicial bureau said in an online post. Police have identified multiple suspects via that method, the agency said, without disclosing if anyone was...

Authy Desktop client will be discontinued from August 2024

Twillio just announced they’re discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn’t fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client....

Glad I already migrated to using KeepassXC on the desktop for TOTP codes, partially out of frustration trying to use the Authy Linux desktop client.

And hey, now I own my data!

Jellyfin + Synology NAS was a great investment for me! ;)

Wouldn’t go back.

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

The nice thing about Jellyfin is that you can point Jellyfin and Plex to the same media folders and both will work, to try it out.

I would get a Synology with intel Quicksync if you go the Synology route for hardware transcoding. Unfortunately, a lot of the new models don’t have it.

I just have a 220+ but would maybe get a 4 bay model if I did it again.

Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I couldn't find it! I need recommendations on a good starter NAS

Title says pretty much all there is. Im just getting started in this and don’t want to go too crazy. Im willing to go as high as $250 right now which, when i look around, i know isn’t gonna get me anything absolutely amazing but hey back off im an instacart driver lol

Personally I recommend just using KeePassXC and a KeePass app (I use KeePassium on iPhone).

You always have access to all your data that way. No company is monitoring you. A lot of apps make it very difficult to backup!

My totp database is in the cloud for syncing but needs a key file I don’t keep in the cloud (and a password). My passwords are entirely separate.

I use an aeropress and Silverblue. Seem right?

I’m using ddg. It used to be noticeably worse than google; now Google is noticeably worse than ddg.

Google used to be better. Lately though, I really am noticing a decline in search quality.

Google abandons “Web Environment Integrity” (simplifiedprivacy.com)

Google has abandoned the “Web Environment Integrity” API that was supposed to allow websites to only allow approved and verified browser environments. The plan would allow websites to reject browser or even OS modifications that were “unattested” for the purpose of supposedly stopping bots, piracy, ad-blocking, and other...

Use case? Just wanting to group together certain topics. Grouping together all the duplicate communities that have the same focus as well.

Use case is obvious.

Making a ton of accounts for each topic is not a good solution.

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Of course. That’s not what we’re talking about?

ebits21, (edited )
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

I just use a keepass vault and KeePassium (Strongbox is also great) after deciding I don’t trust Authy.

Biggest advantage over Authy for me is that I control the data and that the solution is open source.

Vault is synced locally with syncthing but a vault on a cloud drive requiring a key file that is local is also a good option.

Backups are easy. KeePassXC can be used on the desktop for totp.

Vault is not kept with my password vault.

Any solution that holds both together… is not really a 2fa solution imo.

Can confirm. I’m an Audiologist and remove earwax all day.

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Not sure what you mean?

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

What about it?

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Cerumen is a good thing if it’s not causing complications. Lubricates the skin to stop drying, antimicrobial/anti fungal for certain things, helps maintain acidity.

Ear canal is like a conveyor belt and keeps carrying it out, a lot of the earwax is actually dead skin. For most people, being conservative and mostly cleaning the outer ear entrance is just fine.

It’s a problem if it’s blocking the ear, trapping water in the ear after showers, on the eardrum, affecting hearing aids etc.

Qtips suck for ears and often make things worse. Many times a day I see a wall of earwax blocking the ear with a qtip indent in it. I also see bruises from qtips in the canal all the time. Very rarely people that have shoved the qtip through the eardrums (very bad).

Sure. But I wouldn’t trust closed source software for passwords. Personal decision.
