I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?

Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now

No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).

Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.

I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.

The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself

On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.

Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.

In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.

There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.

I switched on the fork happily

hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…

I fully understand your point, but the mailcow as open relay seems strange. Anyway, it’s a risk/cost tradeoff right? Everybody should do it’s own assessment and experimentation. But after the initial setup, it’s zero maintenance. The only maintenance i do is keep the stack regularly updated, and it broke twice in 20+ years (dovecot new config format, WTF…)

Sorry man, i understand your fears, but it’s not that difficult. Granted, you need to STUDY and UNDERSTAND what you do, it’s not just deploy a container and run. But hey, you can give up on learning new stuff and don’t run risks ever, in that case you should also stop driving a car, since it’s much more dangerous than running an open relay by error.

Also, use mailcow stalwart or any other already packaged solution if you want to be safe.

Why people keep spreading this misinformation? It’s plainly not true and I am the living proof of that.

Been using my email self hosted (on VPs) for decades now, never had serious issues at all. And it’s all my family primary addresses

I have a premium account, but It should work also with a free account. The difference is in audio quality.

Navidrome Is good. I also have jellyfin but preferred a dedicated tool for music. I use Symfonium (paid android app) on mobile and navidrome web GUI from PC.

Paired with AudioMuseAI and Spotizerr it’s pretty great.

You can make different groups or even different dashboards entirely

It’s my house heating. Basically it’s a home made app on a orangepi that controls three dry relays and a few sensors feedbacks (stove on, stove warm, gas burner on, etc).

Everything is wrapped up by home assistant automations via MQTT and ZigBee thermo valves and thermometers in each room

The link on the dashboard points to the web GUI to check and control heating bypassing home assistant automations.

My setup it’s better described here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=homeautomation%3Aheating

What do you mean?

Highly appreciated, you made my day

What a fuckton of ads and shit on that website…

Feels awesome and a cool project to self host but visiting that URL makes me puke

If you have a public IP just use wire guard. If you don’t have a public IP, rent a cheap VPS and use that as entry point, setting up one wire guard from home to the vps, and the other from your phone to the vps.

Don’t get me wrong, you are a bit patronizing.

I was only giving a suggestion based on my personal experience, I don’t feel obliged to respond directly to their question, as well I do not expect OP must go to a synapse forum, any question is always welcome.

I think OP was looking for fellow lemmiters experience on matrix and the topic, so I felt like giving my experience.

I was a bit brief yes, but not out of line, oli think.

Your comment was correct, just a bit patronizing.

I don’t use synapse so I cannot directly answer the question. But this is not the support forum for Synapse either, so I think proposing a different approach could be of benefit for the community …

Use Continuwuity instead of synapse… Faster and much less resource hungry
