Tracking inventory is literally one of its primary use cases.

The default channel is usually populated enough and I think nodes relay other channels using lora too.

My range to the next node is 7 miles.

AirTags work but chirp and thieves know to dump them.

Buy a few t1000 to see how it works and if you have any other nodes in your area. If you do you’ll have decent coverage.

The t1000 doesn’t have amazing battery life but I think there’s devices that are dedicated to gps tracking that last a lot longer.

I have helium nodes near me. Not sure how blockchain fits in, but they offer money if you donate your wifi or LoRa, and you can buy service to use that wifi or LoRa.

I like the idea but WiFi doesn’t have the range to be very useful except maybe in an apartment building.

Meshtastic. Be sure to set it up to not broadcast your precise position over the default channel.

Here is an example.

4 bay usb dock? The one that you just attach the bare drive. I think you can find them for $70.

USB sata adapters are like $10 each.

You need licensing to play music over intercoms.

Veeam has a free client backup app that you can point to a share.

Set throttling.

Ideally set it at your egress point so that sessions get throttled only when your max upload is reached.

If your switch plugs into a switch then they are in the same network (excluding L3 switches). Your devices will be sharing the 1gb link between switches but that’s not usually a problem for most home networks.

Have a core switch that everything plugs into.

Then here you go. Open your pocketbook.

Assuming you were on the same lan you could probably set up chat with HA. A game server likely has a lot of change in memory and keeping that synced would be possible but it might not be cheap.

Across a wan though is a different story and likely not reasonably possible.

Some devices will drop icmp packets. Does iperf show the same amount of loss?

Can you try a different internet connection such as mobile hotspot just to see if you have similar results? That could help identify it as a vps issue.

What’s your mtu inside the vpn?

What iperf speeds are you getting with UDP?

On windows you can use the test-connection -MTUSize powershell command to figure out the correct mtu.

If your udp speeds are normal but your tcp speeds are not, it could be fragmentation, or out of order packets, or high latency.

Without knowing much about, yes unless all servers are using tailscale. It’s simple to share hosts across tailscale tenants.

That’s getting more technical than what OP is doing though.

Thanks, you’re right

Rpi3 is pretty slow but you’re right it’s ok for testing.

Jellyfin doesn’t pretend to do external access well. Some people put a proxy in front of it, others do something like Tailscale to create a private network over vpn. Then you set up the Tailscale app on your mobile devices and it should activate for specific ip addresses or dns names.

Consider using tinymusicmanager to fix up all of your tv/movie metadata first.

I think even the igpu on that p320 would do what you need.
