  • What you need is a sip server / interface for making VoIP call through internet, there are many implementations and servers, selfhosted and paid. Pick up one you like.

    Please, be aware that the quality of the voice call depends and a lot of the data rate. Keep this in mind uif you are in remote locations with poor coverage.

    It is always recommended the asterisk + the freepbx for the gui. Please be aware that I don’t have experience with those systems


  • I think I didn’t get exactly what you want. Ant it keeps me wondering that perhaps there are a few concepts not so clear.

    Do you want to receive streaming from a server? do you want to setup the server? Or something completely else?

    If you want to receive the streaming from a server, the most compatible cost-effective solution is the Amazon fire. Works with remotes and you will be able to play every media you have because the server will transcode the file on the fly if the fire stick doesn’t support the format.

    If you want something more open to tinker or to get more functionality then a raspberry pi will be enough, because once again, the heavy lifting is done by the servers (via plex server or moonlight server).

    More powerful boxes exists but then you need to start thinking carefully what is your use case for not eating money.


  • This type of posts always reminds me a conversation I had with some friends, where they always claimed that the lack of rules, safety measures and freedom to smoke when I was 6, and all the mentality/concept/vision of the world is now considered really bad, difficult to accept or comprehend for modern mentalities.

    And we survived, they always reassesed.

    But the point is we didn’t, lot of fellas died in the process, alcohol was socially accepted as a way to deal with problems to the point that life-risk jobs were having daily accidents and 99% of them the guy was really alcohol fucked.

    But the deads were not there to disagree. It is only survival biases. And a lack of memories about who could not deal with the situations…



  • Precisely bitwarden movement proves my point. Bitwarden tried to degrade the features/compatibility of the solution and they couldn’t because of the vaultwarden implementation.

    Can they always add new features after a pay wall? Sure! But once foss Sw is here it is simple impossible to remove functionality, at most, to get some coins for services not fully selfhosted.

    If tailscale tries to do something similar is goint to be a shoot into their own leg, because all the sw already disclosed makes it impossible. Could they make the relay a paid one? Sure but then they will face the competence of a vps with the Headscale implementation.

    This and only this is because in your home lab only foss Sw should be allowed, even if you need to pay some money from time to time
