- Comment on how to start with self-hosting? 1 day ago:
I might recommend starting with a project.
Something like getting pi-hole running. This would help you learn some of the networking basics. But I’d recommend reading at least enough to have a conceptual foundation about the things you don’t understand along the way (DNS, DHCP, etc).
You’ll want one of their supported OS choices to keep things simple. That means one of: fedora, debian, ubuntu, or centos. I might steer you away from centos just because its user base is a bit more linux-pro so finding specific help might be more daunting, but I don’t have much experience with it either. Maybe use a “server” variant to keep your system demand to a minimum (boot to terminal only).
- Comment on Linux Foundation says yes to NoSQL via DocumentDB 5 days ago:
Mongo DB popularized the “document DB” model which is just storing JSON in a database and offering a way to interact with it roughly like you would data in a traditional relational DB.
7ish years ago, they got fed up with the major cloud providers offering their free software as a service and changed their license to one that is more restrictive.
Of course this is sort of the inevitable outcome: a cloud provider builds a competing product and then “open sources” it in a way that will allow them to grab mind share and eventually erode the company that dared to demand compensation for a “free” product.
Microsoft added a middle finger by announcing it just before mongo released quarterly financials too.

Reminds me of the old gas shaver kit my grandpa gave me on my 13th birthday.

I like and understand where you’re going, but I can offer some actual experience. I learned my legal first name at 8.
It didn’t go down well (I cried because the teacher didn’t call my name and sent me to the school office to get it sorted) and I had a weird complex about the real name into high school. There’s no rhyme or reason to the two names, so it is actually sort of surprising to pair the two. To this day I still go by the nickname I thought was my real name. My nieces and nephews still enjoy discovering my real name and calling me by it thinking it’s a big secret they’ve discovered. I still have to explain it a hundred times a year to new coworkers and acquaintances.

Beard beer! Yeah, rogue was definitely playing with things at the time (remember voodoo donut?). Gotta keep in mind this brewer had been brewing in a yeast laden environment for many years.
I feel like I remember reading white labs sampled it and found it was a combo of several of their strains.

Something like the rockler removable casters might be an option if you’re moving it with some frequency. Definitely depends on your aesthetics though.

Totally.
Port knocking is one of those “of course someone did that” things to me too. A replay attack is enough to make it security theater.
An IP allowlist is a more useful addon.

So, less than the Bronx (1.4M), but more than Staten Island (450k).
About the same as Indianapolis, IN, USA or Donetsk, Ukraine.
So, 1 medium city’s worth.

- Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
Agreed! That would be a huge QoL improvement (and work just like the podman command does). Now I’m thinking about other commands that force this silliness, like
pip. - Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
The spec for quadlets has a few dedicated homes for the .pod, .container, etc. files. You can absolutely mount directories or files wherever (
%his$HOMEfor systemd unit files). See the Volume description for Container unit files: docs.podman.io/en/…/podman-systemd.unit.5.html#vo… - Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
I’m now running quadlets on Garuda (my gaming/devbox), and Fedora. The impetus for this was needing to host service in an unprivileged way at work on RHEL9, so I got paid to do some learning with my own services.
My laptop is running Bazzite, but no services there. I’ll move the server to silverblue or another image based distro when I finish extracting the rest of my misadventures to containers.
- Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
I’m definitely interested in your experience and why you came to those conclusions because I’m not sure I can agree on the primary points.
But I have to give you the note. Root is also user space (if privileged). I’ve barely ever done anything actually in kernel space, so I guess it’s easy for me to screw that up.
- Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
I used podlet on my compose file. I was a little disappointed in the limitations, as a lot of things like variable interpolation isn’t available.
That said, the output made me wonder why I’ve waited! It was so much simpler than I imagined. It also helped demystify unit files a bit more.
- Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t use that! I had a docker-compose file and used podlet to translate (which took a little massaging due to it not supporting interpolations).
/usr/libexec/podman/quadlet --user --dryrunwas quite helpful though! - Submitted 5 weeks ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 28 comments

- Comment on TIL about Fedi-Search, an open sourced frontend to easily search the Fediverse with a lot of mainstream engines 1 month ago:
Looking at the very short script that powers the site, adding additional search engines is trivial (though at some point will make refactoring obligatory).

Seems on brand. Like they want people deported so they can go on missionary trips to accost them in their home countries with the love of Jesus.

Yeah maybe I should have said “pushed him to return to being someone he physically no longer was.”
The parallel between these episodes is really strong, and with nary a mention of Tuvix in season 6.
