Why? It's TCP/UDP connection data for troubleshooting you can turn off. No privacy issue there.

RAID is not a backup because anything happening within that file system happens to both drives immediately.

If you want TLS for your websites/webapps you're gonna need a DNS name to get a cert

They're compressed in x265, most web browsers can decompress that natively ;) Heck, when you watch something on YouTube you are decompressing the content ont he fly

But yes, Jellyfin can also natively transcode formats on the fly if you stick a GPU in there: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/

- They're not using a VPS, they're using a server hosted inside their house

- Lots of ISPs use CGNAT which means you can't always have direct access, especially on mobile. Tailscale solves that via DERP (https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/derp-servers)

- Static public IP addresses for ingress cost money from the cloud provider, they're not cheap either

- Having a public IP makes the ports open to attackers, using Tailscale the attacker has to hack your tailnet before they can hack your server

- You have to buy a DNS name for your public IP, you don't need one if you use Tailscale thanks to MagicDNS

- Tailscale has a bunch of nice features like Let's Encrypt integration, OAuth support, Tailscale SSH, etc. that make the experience quite nice overall

That all probably fits comfortably in like 12-14GB easily

Yeah I do something similar, a local backup on an external drive that mostly lives in a different place and a last resort backup in glacier

This is also common for people inside China who need to access external internet because:

1. All the VPN providers are blocked anyway

2. You have to disguise your traffic to look like non-VPN commercial traffic, anything that looks obviously like an outbound VPN gets blocked by the Great Firewall

Weirdly, my "Linux ISOs" are compressed in x265 :)
