My current setup is that I have a home server running a number of services that are only accessible to myself on my local network (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc.) and a DigitalOcean droplet I rent that runs a number of public facing items (personal websites). I've been looking into running my own Matrix server for myself and some friends, but while it will be public facing, I would prefer to run it on my own hardware for cost and storage reasons.

I have gotten it up and running the "old fashioned way", by pointing my domain at my home network, setting up port forwarding and a reverse proxy. Is this the recommended solution? I have heard vague references made to somehow using a VPS service to forward specific traffic to a home server via WireGuard. I'm not sure how this is done, or really what the benefits are, so I was curious if anyone had any advice.

While I'm personally not really interested in a animated comedy Star Trek, I do understand why people like the show.

That being said, I'm really not excited for this crossover at all. I think Lower Deck's style, particularly in its dialogue, will just bring out the worst in Strange New Worlds. I expect it'll fall to whether you do or don't like Lower Decks whether you'll like that episode.

 

I've ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi's quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I've broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.

Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?
