  • NFSv3 (udp, stateless) was always as reliable as the network infra under Linux, I found. NFSv4 made things a bit more complicated.

    You don’t want any NAT / stateful connection tracking in the network path (anything that could hiccup and forget), and wired connections only for permanent storage mounts, of course.






  • Welcome to the world of Carrier Grade NAT. 100.64.0.0/10 is reserved for this.

    If you are lucky, you also have an IPv6 address. The catch is you need IPv6 on the client-side too.

    A VPS or similar running wireguard and a proxy might bridge the gap.

    It might also be possible to ask your provider for some port forwarding. Probably not, but check anyway.

    Good luck!





  • Not my experience with Arch at all, but I stick to pretty standard hardware.

    What I like with Arch is that it gets out of my way and makes it easy to have a minimal desktop experience. I’ve been a Linux user since '95, so I have a pretty good idea of what I want out of a distro. When there have been issues, the wiki has been excellent.

    I update regularly, but not constantly. I tend to hold back kernel & driver updates until I’m ready to reboot. Pretty chill experience all around.
