  • I used to port forward, but I have stopped doing it. I don’t want to have open ports on the same IP that I use for internet browsing.

    I have my local server connected, via WireGuard, to a cheap nearby VPS. All my services are exposed from that VPS.

    This configuration also offers full portability to my home server, allowing me to switch to any ISP, or even move to mobile data, if I have to.

    For applications that require even lower latency, like remote gaming, I use Tailscale, which can traverse the NATs and create direct connections between the devices.

    Smart TVs are, for sure, easier to setup, but TV manufacturers are starting to inject their ads to anything that is showing on the TV. Sorry, but I don’t want to see any ads while watching a movie, or playing games.

    I don’t care whether the TV is smart, or not. I will just not connect it to internet, and I’ll use it as a monitor. No one is messing with my boss fights!
