You’re allowed to be happy sometimes. This is a win, enjoy it

Those two days aren’t really spent configuring, they’re spent learning.

traches ,

second time doesn’t take two days, but yeah you’re right.

If you roll a 1% chance of dying every day, you don’t make it to your first birthday

It’s a gag, I promise. He’s talked about it on their podcast

First I’d ask if you need to open ports at all - if this is only for your family’s use then Tailscale or one of its alternatives can accomplish the same goal without opening ports in your firewall or worrying about security flaws in your hosted services.

If it’s for public use, maybe consider cloudflare tunnel?

Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

I cannot stand google news any more, too much spam, clickbait and advertisement. So I decided to try to selfhost an RSS aggregator to make myself a news feed that I would be comfortable with. Being RSS such an "ancient" thing I thought there will be many mature systems, but I'm not sure that's the case.....

Personally I use miniflux, which has been amazing. It offers the fever and Google reader APIs, which many phone apps can talk to which means the UI can be almost whatever you want (I’m using reeder on iOS)

It supports all the feed formats, but for sites that don’t offer a feed you’ll need some other solution like kill-the-newsletter.com

  • If you don’t have a surplus of time and energy, self hosting is not for you. You’re taking on administration that normal people effectively contract out
  • docker is worth learning and using. It’s one thing to learn, and with that knowledge you can run basically everything. It really does make your life easier

Your quoted paragraph is the only sane alternative to the ad supported internet. Think Fastmail vs gmail - both are run for a profit, but fastmail’s business model is to simply sell subscriptions. Their incentives are better aligned with the consumer, and while nobody’s going to become a billionaire off the company I have to imagine that they have a very reliable customer base.

Good software should be paid for, devs gotta eat

I know nothing about this person, but on multiple occasions I’ve had the thought that if I was a gazillionaire, I’d sponsor a bunch of open source. Maybe this is that? I’ll choose to stay hopeful (though I’m kinda dumb about this sorta stuff)

traches ,

That’s fair, but I’ll point out that eating is sort of a subscription model.

traches ,

older than the internet

My advice is to just use Tailscale. It’s a 5 minute setup and you get access to your stuff from anywhere, securely, without opening ports to the public internet. It will give your server a second IP address, which you will be able to access from any other device which is also registered to your Tailscale account.

My personal setup:

  • Tailscale installed on all devices that need access to my home lab
  • Custom domain with root A record set to server’s Tailscale IP
  • caddyserver reverse proxy on server, with DNS https authentication configured (regular http with won’t work because it’s not on the public internet)
  • services all on subdomains

How is chown-R someuser different from systemctl—user?

traches ,

Been using arch + sway + neovim for 5 years now. Everyone says it’s the “I spend more time fucking with configs than getting work done” setup but then why does my dotfiles repo look like this?

Neither do I, but it’s nice to have the same settings on my desktop and laptop
