Sounds like exactly the right way to talk about physical buttons to me.

Most computers with (at least) two network interfaces will do. If it’s something too crappy your throughput will be limited by CPU speed but I can’t tell you exact recommendations here. Here’s OPNsense’s hardware recommendations for example, they’re not high at all. Off-the-shelf devices that allow you to do this should probably be fine too.

I’d put Linux on it and use nftables but BSD PF seems to be very popular for firewalls (OPNsense/pfSense are built on this) which I have never used so consider that too.

Not a professional networking guy either but here’s my opinion.

What I would do is use the ISP router as is, open all ports on it (except to itself, hopefully it doesn’t do that…), and put a firewall in between the router and everything else that controls the actual access to everything behind it (in bridge mode between the two network interfaces of the firewall, so you only have the one network).

Could a potential second router also assign addresses to devices in that globally routable space directly?

Devices in IPv6 assign addresses themselves via SLAAC, you just need one device advertising the prefix which the ISP router should already do. The firewall should be able to just purely be there for packet filtering. If you need fixed addresses for public facing servers I would just assign them manually to the respective boxes as you likely also need to add them to public DNS manually anyway.

Huh, I thought I looked through them all when I tried it last time. I’ll check again.

Do you self-host Jitsi? The public instance has absolutely unusable FPS for streaming gameplay which is pretty much the only thing I still use discord for because it’s the only thing that seems to do it well. I read somewhere you can turn up the FPS on a self-hosted Jitsi though.

Irresponsible and malicious journalism like this is why I have an immediate distrust against any sort of reporter that tries to talk to me. Probably irrational but still.

I hope your balls explode.

I wish him the very same.

Yup!

Never seen this before, but you can enable NFS debugging with ‘rpcdebug -m nfs -s all’ (or nfsd on the server, or rpc for the underlying protocol). It prints to dmesg.

IIRC Keepass2Android does have that feature.

What about just wire transfer? Everything goes through your bank anyway. That’s what I’ve replaced PayPal with a while ago.

Okay, I edited it to quote the full sentence. You also don’t need those either, though.

Unfortunately, the latter means having to maintain multiple email accounts, or forwarding services like Addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, or DuckDuckGo Email.

It doesn’t, you can hook multiple domains up to deliver mail to the same mail server. I have three domains pointing to a single server myself.

(edit: added full quote)

I’m not convinced this is a good idea. Resident keys as the primary mechanism were already a big mistake, syncing keys between devices was questionable at best (the original concept, which hardware keys still have, is the key can never be extracted), and now you’ve got this. One of the great parts about security keys (the original ones!) is that you authenticate devices instead of having a single secret shared between every device. This just seems like going further away from that in trying to engineer themselves out of the corner they got themselves into with bullshit decisions.

Let me link this post again (written by the Kanidm developer). Passkeys: A Shattered Dream. I think it still holds up.

This thread is the worst case of astroturfing I’ve seen on this site so far, holy shit.

This is what I do too.

What they suggest sounds like setting up a bridge interface between your LAN and the VPN interface to connect the VPS with your LAN. That’s actually a good idea since it would not need you to have a separate /64 for your local network. In this case I’m pretty sure that your VPN needs to be a layer 2 VPN, i.e. transports whole ethernet frames instead of TCP/UDP only, for this to work correctly. Wireguard doesn’t do this, OpenVPN can for example.

To make the VPS a gateway, you need to configure it to forward packets between networks and then set it as your default route on the clients (with IPv6, default route is usually published using router advertisements, set up radvd service on your VPS for that). That’s pretty much it IIRC except for the firewall rules. Here’s an article that’s some cloud stuff but is also applicable to your situation: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/linux-router-and-ip-forwarding/#enable-ip-forwarding

I had the network before moving here (created it when I did have a public IPv4). Can’t test creating one new since it will only allow me to make one per IP.

Hm, it doesn’t? I’m not behind CGNAT but I’m in a network I don’t control (university dorm) so my gateway is just another device in the local network and I don’t have a public IP which I control, which I feel like should effectively be the same thing as CGNAT, and it works for me. Maybe it isn’t the same.

The easy way is to just use tunnelbroker.net, that is what I currently have (this would use one of their assigned net blocks, not the one from the VPS). Set it up on the Pi, set up IP forwarding with appropriate firewall rules, make the Pi serve RA so clients can assign themselves an IP, done (IIRC).

If you want to set up the v6/v4 gateway yourself, I would do this with a /64 you can fully route to your home network like you would get with tunnelbroker.net because then you don’t have to deal with the network split and essentially two gateways for the same network (your Pi and the VPS), because otherwise your clients would assume the VPS is directly reachable since it’s in the same network when in reality it would have to go through the gateway (you would have to set up an extra route in that case on every client, I think). You’d need a second network from Oracle for this.

But it’s pretty much the same thing I would assume plus the setup on the VPS side, make the VPN route your /64 block (or use 6in4 which is what tunnelbroker.net uses), configure IP forwarding on the Pi and the VPS between the VPN interface and local/WAN respectively.
