idk why, but the performance of #AzireVPN, especially its stability, has decreased significantly (reddit users would say "since the acquisition by #Malwarebytes / #FiveEyes" ). There are non-stop disconnects, and even when the connection is up, the overall throughput and RTT are laughable.

back to #Mullvad it is and... wow, 50% lower median RTT 🤡

the actually sad part is that everybody hosts at #Datapacket, #31173, #xtom, and #M247, which comfortably covers #FourteenEyes

mhmm.. probably nobody remembers or even knows about #ovpnTO (not to be confused with #ovpnCOM) #MrNice #timeflies

ps: please ignore the packet loss, as the step size is 5min and I just reconfigured and restarted everything - thx

More progress on the #homelab renovation.. mostly software-related at the moment though. Managed to get #nomad to correctly mount the NFS volumes I needed for #smokeping and #mariadb, and figured out how template files work for simple config files being passed in to containers.

I'm currently using my old #unraid server as the storage backend.. but I'll most likely still be upgrading to a new unraid server soon so what I setup now can easily be translated to the next server. Once I have everything transferred I'll setup a backup task across the storage on unraid so that I have all application states protected.

Last thing to figure out is the load balancing for my services. I want them all accessible via IP/port on my LAN and by service under #tailscale. Not sure how this will all fit together - I probably need a dedicated box for the LB.. maybe just a simple #nginx proxy with #consul configuration so that it's somewhat dynamic. Would love to get feedback on this, and if you know of a simpler/better way!

You can now find some #smokeping graph on #BoxyBSD's status page: https://boxybsd.com/status/
