Thank you

That’s exactly what I do

Run a transparent encryption program and buy a Google drive subscription of 2TB for a year for $100.

Except the CLI hasn’t been updated in ages

Yeah any FOSS OS that can do a router

Option A modified: get a router, install OpenWRT, install wireguard, get a VPS, create a tunnel, profit

Well, whatever works. Your example wouldn’t need a reverse-proxy.

Well, running your own DNS server will also give you eSNI. And Cloudflare still doesn’t know anything

People already talked about hosting your own DNS, let me add that a reverse proxy would be used for something like mapping myhome.local:8000 to myhome.local/jellyfin.

You might want to study more about SNI. Your ISP knows anyway

I wonder if mpd in a container with a front-end can solve your problems

UART to USB adapter, use a terminal multiplexer on your laptop

How do you reach into your server with SSH disabled without lugging a monitor and keyboard around?

I’m using k8s at work and am planning to set up k3s at home, because even though PVCs and Ingresses are not the easiest to grasp and write in templates, I think the way I want to do storage is beyond the capabilities of podman which I used earlier. Also, Kubernetes on either end so knowledge transfer is ready

You can run a VPN and tunnel your outbound DNS queries over that. Heck, you could tunnel your DNS queries over TOR

I’d like a blog please

It’s actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

K3s is an embedded Kubernetes distribution by a Californian company called Rancher, which is owned by the Enterprise Linux Giant SUSE.

Kubernetes works on the idea of masters and workers. I.e. you usually cannot bring up (“schedule”) containers (pods) on the master nodes (control nodes for brevity). K3s does away with such limitations, meaning you can just run one VM with k3s and run containers on top.

Although if Kubernetes is too hard I would push you towards Podman.

I do not know the extrapolation for CSI but Longhorn is a storage backend of Kubernetes for persistent storage across nodes

Thank you!
