  • The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

    I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

    So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

    I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.


















  • I’m interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

    I’m no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

    The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

    At least, that’s my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning…


  • I use an old Stream Deck- not the Steam deck- from Elgato. It’s essentially a small touchscreen with a transparent button pad laid over the top, making for a fully programmable macropad with fully customisable screen-per-key.

    Not only can I have esoteric shortcuts, but I can also dynamically label them, depending on layer. I have a ‘home’ layer with icons representing each other layer. So, for example I can load up a video game, and press the corresponding icon on my macropad. It will then change the icons to match whatever command it does- various whistle commands in Ark, for example. I can then change programs into my CAD, and have the icons now be various shortcuts for modelling tools.
