Underrated explanation, you held it finally click for me. I consider myself a fairly educated person but just couldn't wrap my head around what made it so special. Correct me if i'm wrong but my understanding is the server uses the public key to encrypt a challenge code that can only be decrypted by your private key. You get an on device prompt to approve the process and the rest is done under the hood.

To go further on this, is the public/private key a mathematical relationship? What ties the two together to make them useful as a pair?

AudioBookShelf is a beautiful podcast option. OP would have to fully migrate into it but once done it'll let you listen to an episode on pc, pause, then resume from the same spot on mobile. It'll auto grab episode as they come out and store them on your system for streaming or local access. The android app is pretty good and i know webapp works well on ios

That goes hand in hand with a level of trust with some companies/people and everyone has different threat tolerances. It also highlights the mindset that you have no idea what the person on the other end of the message is doing with it. End to end encryption helps keep in line eavesdropping down but if the recipient of the message has a compromised device or are screenshoting everything and posting it on facebook it's out of your control.

As someone else said, selfhosting is the only real way to overcome this problem. When it's all on your hardware it matters a lot less if the messaged at are decrypted server side or not. Everyone has a different threat level and at some point you have to put trust in some companies but if beeper makes you uncomfortable then buy a cheap second hand mini pc and learn to self host the service.

I'm never a fan of virtualizing network related items for the sake of redundancy, if your server goes down the rest of your network can keep doing it's thing. That being said, with the hardware you have on your hands i don't see any solid atonemen argument for bringing in more hardware.

Proxmox is a great base for you to really ramp things up and i'd recommend looking into pfsense as a routing/firewall solution. There's a bunch of great youtube videos that can talk you through setting it up and using it as your vpn point, adblocking, reverse proxy, and so much more.

In the later books they drop a line about anti aging meds a couple times as a way to explain the timeline. I wanted to be mad about that but realized i accepted anti cancer meds without blinking.

I'm no expert but my understanding is all drinking cans are lined with plastic to withstand erosion.

Everyones process is a little different but that sounds unnecessarily complicated. See my other comment about the arrs through docker. You could probably do it all in a single compose file.

It gets even more automated/complex when you add in something like overseerr which pairs up with sonarr and radarr to read your library and allows your users to search for a title and request it if it's not in your library. With the click of an approve button the automation will have their desired title on plex in a matter of minutes.

Headscale is a self hosted version of tailscale, if you'd like to keep it as an option

The arrs would be your best bet to reduce your input. If i'm not mistaken you can run them all through docker including a version of qbittorrentb that's bound to a vpn and the only way it access the internet is through that vpn. Or you could split tunnel your vpn and bind your qbittorrent to it and bipass your jellyfin instance.

Whoogle. It's treated me well enough so far.

Accidentally read the second book thinking it was a stand alone. The story still held up so i made it half the book before i realized my mistake

So in your case the vm is HAOS and Frigate is running inside that?

That would be one hell of a project

If i remember correct the vm i'm running lemmy on has less than 300gigs of storage and i've used less than half of that with running lemmy for a couple of months with a hand full of users. I can't speak to the bandwidth aspect but i'd imagine self hosting lemmy would almost be better suited for low bandwidth so it can pull down the posts over time and hold them locally for you when you're ready, but thats just a guess.

This looks like a great fit for my use case, i'll dig into this more, thank you.

I'm seeing a lot of good options involve email servers and if that's the best route then that's where i'll take things but i'd prefer nothing more than a simple, lightweight, calendar service.

What public services do you use that you think you'd want to self host? I'm trying to reduce the data i give to big companies so i starred running an instance of Audiobook-shelf and use it to auto grab my podcasts from an rss feed and keep a copy on my server plus it serves up all my audio books too. Or you could set up a vpn back to your network via wireguard and get the benefits of pihole when you're not home. If you feel like really digging into things you could host your own lemmy instance, or matrix chat and bridge in other serviced but that requires a bit more advanced knowledge.
