I’ve used it for 5 years on iOS with zero issues at all. Set it to ‘Move’ and you will get great resolution.

Lots of people saying mealie or tandoor, so I’ll say Grocy. I don’t use it for every single food item but mainly for spices and frozen items and the recipe functionality is pretty good.

Sucks that it isn’t available in the ios app though.

I’ve had the exact same spectrum setup in Orlando and I just gave up connecting to local services. Had a VPS for my external stuff and things I wanted to reach away from home and then used a couple of local services when at home.

You can use the command ‘wakeonlan x’ where x is your MAC address of the pc you are trying to wake.

I use WireGuard on a pi and then use wakeonlan from my phone to start my pc.

Use a reverse proxy in front and be sure to have auth setup in Baikal.

I’ve been using it with traefik for 5ish years now without issues.

I’m seriously thinking of getting this. Maybe the Firebat brand though as it has two Ethernet ports and it’s cheaper for me.

Have you had Pi’s? I’m currently using a pi4 4gb and wondering how it compares.

I’m also frustrated with arm as a lot of docker images aren’t working. Recently had issues with Hugo and Jekyll which needs node.js that doesn’t support arm at this version.

Have to tried Immich on it?

We didn’t even have a modem, just a locked down AP with no control. All controlled through the apartment complex.

Was in Kissimmee. We were forced into the apartment complex internet plan and it only included WiFi. No Ethernet ports in the apartment just a WiFi unit where you had to approve MAC addresses for access.

Super frustrating. Ended up buying a router, that would bridge the WiFi and offer Ethernet to my Pi and desktop.

Denmark: 1gbps up/down with static IPv4 and IPv6 address for 105dkk ($15).

I can reliably get the offered speeds and the connection is unlimited. Pretty happy with that.

Where we lived in Florida we has Spectrum and they didn’t even offer Ethernet. Apartment only had WiFi with router access…

Some routers can act as a VPN, but I don’t think an ISP provided one can.

I would suggest you get a raspberry pi zero W or equivalent(like orange pi zero) and setup a WireGuard server on that. It’s only like $15.

That way you can vpn to your network and access devices / services without opening any additional ports.

What I do is using OliveTin behind a reverse proxy (traefik with auth) on a Pi. I then have a button in olivetin that sends WoL commands through local network to turn in my ‘big’ server. You can probably run it without issues on a Pi0.

Alternatively, if you have a VPN to your home network, is using an app on your phone to send WoL commands when connected to the VPN. I have tested with both ‘Magic Packet’ and ‘Net Status’ on iOS through WireGuard.

Thanks. I’ll check them out, with taxes they are unfortunately hard to get at $150, more like $225-250. Really want something more powerful than a Pi4

But compared to a Pi4B the N100 should be a beast no?

How would an i5 6500T compare to a mini pc with an N100 or N305 like the beelink?

I’m serious debating if I should get a beelink (or equivalent) with an N100 and 16GB ram or go for an Optiplex with an i5 6500T and 8GB ram. Both are about the same price where I am located.

Im mainly interested in power usage and performance and not so much in upgradability.

I wish that was the case here. I can’t find an 8000 series below $200. Most in the $100 range is 4000-6100 series with 6500 being $120+.

Kinda leaning towards an N100 even though it’s a bit more ($250ish)

Yeah I was gonna aim for an i5 with 8-16GB ram. Seems like a 7500 or at least a 7th gen is what I should look for.

But then you also spend much more than $100 😂 I already have a NAS with a a 7th gen i7, 16gb ram, 32TB hdh, and a 1070 for decoding but it uses too much power to stay on all the time. I only turn it on to watch plex and then power it down to save electricity.

Thank you. I’ll probably go for a 7th gen then, when I find one in a proper price range!

Hmm maybe it’s just me, but I can’t find any N100s for that price.

I’ve looked at that but idk if 650kr for 8gb ram version is worth it if the CPU is ‘only’ a 6100.

I’ve had a DBA Agent going for some weeks but most things are 6th gen or lower or overpriced 8th gen.
