Depends on your work. If you manage headless remote servers or computers, terminal through SSH is kinda the only way to use the computer. There is a lot of software and algorithms or databases that don’t actually require a gui. Terminal comands are also great because they can be easily reused and further integrated and automated.

Yup that is exactly what i already did (with no-ip instead of duck dns but the same service), but as i said, the fact that it’s dynamic is not the problem. It’s the fact that even my dynamic ip address is not actually truly public. At least that is how i understand CGNAT.

I tried Wireguard now, and it worked beautifully (love its simplicity), than I setup port forwarding, and a no-ip ddns, and it stops working. Because, as it turns out, I dont have a public ip address. My isp runs a CGNAT, therefore i dont think there is any way for me to run a wg at home without some external server to hop from. I guess tailscale does exactly that eith thair connecting server, if i understand it correctly?

Thanks for the recommendations, will look into wireguard first

This was a publicity stunt, fbi than paid nso to give them a zero day exploit to bypass the ios password. No software is bug free.

Oh yeah, that is true. Mini PC has a proper ssd nvme.

Thanks for the feedback! Will look at the NAS you recommend, but i thik i want more freedom to tinker. Will definitely look into proxmox!

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, used mini pc can be found cheaper than rpi5, also comes with a proper cooling and housing, which would be extra for rpi.

Thanks for the feedback! Had similar problems with a raspberry pi. It cannot deliver enough power to the hdd, so it kept rebooting the drive.

NAS, perhaps apps like vaultwarden, nextcloud, immich, maybe grafana for sensors… I am not 100% sure as this would be the first.
