This is exactly it - storage is the best example
Could I run all of my stuff using a cloud service? Of course, but it would be very expensive and only available if my internet works (and there’s a lot of hops between me and my data in the cloud)
I can buy a 2TB HDD for £64 - most cloud providers charge that much per year for 1TB
Dpending on where you live, CCTV
Shinobi CCTV works great - it’s just a fancy wrapper around FFmpeg
Immich is another great recommendation for when you’ve used up all of your Google Photos storage
Proxmox because it’s just Debian with a pretty UI for QEMU
I’m liking it a lot more than ESXi - it’s just better honestly
Yep, monitoring in multiple places with Zabbix
I have pfSense as well (soon to be OPNsense) and that shows traffic per network it’s connected to, so that’s great for live traffic
Zabbix monitors the networks and collects traffic data
Zabbix also monitors all containers and their network traffic
Don’t try to be clever and change the port from 3389 to something else either
Scanners can fingerprint traffic and just blast the other ports instead
I (foolishly) did this a few years ago and luckily I had account lockout enabled
Constant attempts all day long - they were even able to enumerate local users and try to log in as them (fortunately they never could cause the passwords were random keepass ones)
Don’t do it, seriously
Oh man I miss the days of being able to “launder” music through it
For anyone who doesn’t know, you used to be able to upload your own library of mp3s to GPM
When you’d do this, Google would try to content match the song and replace it with the full high quality version
That you could then download and replace your lower quality version
