Driving a Leaf 100km a day does not mean that the battery has a range of 100km or more. It is extremely common to charge whenever you park, whether at work or when stopping at home or any time in between drives. With a charge in the middle of the day, even a car with a max range of 50km could still do 100km in one day.

The point he’s making is not about range, it’s about the longevity and the reliability of the car.

Ludicrously simple setup, that’s all.

This is not remotely ghetto, this is really well done. Sure the fans are a bit wonky but that is one hell of a machine for the money.

Well done!

I stopped messing with port forwarding and reverse proxies and fail2ban and all the other stuff a long time ago.

Everything is accessible for login only locally, and then I add Tailscale (alternative would be ZeroTier) on top of it. Boom, done. Everything is seamless, I don’t have any random connection attempts clogging up my logging, and I’ve massively reduced my risk surface. Sure I’m not immune; if the app communicates on the internet, it must be regularly patched, and that I do my best to keep up with.

Just so I understand, you’re using your compose file to handle updating images? How does that work? I’m using some hacked together recursive shell function I found to update all my images at once.

Side note, I really feel for you with the duplicate comments, it happens to me constantly and I know it’s not our fault :(

Tailscale completely negated and desire I’ve ever had to run any kind of proxy or VPN. The setup tool all of 30 seconds to make an account, and then like 15-20 seconds per client. I set it up once several months ago and I completely forgot about it…it’s just quietly working in the background, completely transparent to me.

I’ve gotta say I’ve been using Porkbun for a few years now and I’ve never been caught off guard by insane renewal prices.

Strong suggestion for Tailscale here. It is incredibly easy to use and very easy to set up with multiple users. Opening ports directly to the internet is a thing of the past for me now, ever since I started.
