Wtf. Was this just an IP takeover?

In that case yes ofcourse. Why even ask. Pirating is illegal. Vpns are cheap. I can recommend Proton or mullvad

I do not understand your question. If you surf the web you should use a vpn. No matter your location. Some locations ask for vpn usage more than others.

I’d advise to use headscale on a vps somewhere. Its tailscale but selfhosted.

Jeaaaah I made the mistake of building everything myself. 1.5 years and counting and I have no working environment due to free time constraints.

Buy a nas. You’ll be up and running much quicker. Build a separate server instead. Look for low powered intel NUCs and run portainer or proxmox. Or both. Use rsync or nfs to backup relevant data to the bought nas and use Infrastructure as code/gitops to configure the NUC.

Jeah! Cable fixed it!

Ordered a new cable that was the exacg model from intertech that they recommended. I’ll let you guys know how it went.

Good to know! This might be it. I thought SFF-8087 was the spec of the cable, but its the connector!

Hey thanks!

This is a great idea! I’ll try it this weekend. I’ll let you know.

Jeah, the drives work confirmed. The drives are sata, the backplane has sas out which splits. The manufacturer explicitly says this works. Sooo i gues? Like you I am no expert and just do as i’m told :')
