  • Every WiFi router and network has something called an SSID and a BSSID. The SSID is the friendly name that you use to show off your puns to your neighbors. The BSSID is a 6 byte MAC address. All devices use the BSSID when connecting and communicating.

    With a non hidden SSID, your router broadcasts the SSID and BSSID.

    The BSSID doesn’t change even if you change your SSID (Though APs with support for multiple SSID create a different BSSID per network) and it’s what is actually used for geo location.

    When it’s hidden, it doesn’t send the SSID out, but sends out packets with the BSSID. Clients then scream out to the void “anybody know the SSID ‘My Secret SSID??’” Then it’ll respond.

    So basically hidden networks still send out the unique identifying address and then when you take your phone with you, you’re just telling everybody what your home WiFi is called.

    Hidden SSIDs are not that useful.

    A newer release, v0.6.30 is already released to fix an issue with OneDrive integration.

    Looks like they finally finally made their slim image tag smaller than the main image:

    ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:v0.6.30-slim    7c61b17433e8   46 hours ago    4.3GB
    ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:v0.6.30         c1ac444c0471   46 hours ago    4.82GB
    

    Though only saving .5GB of space is not very slim. I use OpenWebUI in my home lab, but this issue just made me question the quality of the project a tiny bit.






  • Gluetun doesn’t make any sense here. You’re forcing all the traffic for from Jellyfin to go through Mullvad, but you need to be able to connect to Jellyfin because Jellyfin is a service you connect to.

    Since your Tailscale is host network mounted, you’ll be able to expose your Docker network subnets over Tailscale then access Jellyfin. This is done via the TS_SUBNETS env variable. Docker will use a 172.16.0.0/12 subnet.

    You probably intend to gluetun your downloading software, not Jellyfin.
