- Comment on Vikunja Email Config Help 2 months ago:
I was under the impression that Google retired the “app password” workflow and moved to Gmail API within Google Cloud. I have the API set up and that’s what I’m using in the Vikunja configs but like I mentioned in the post, at this point I don’t care if its Gmail or something else. I just need the email functionality to work so I will use whatever service works well with Vikunja.

- Comment on Should I stick with Docker Swarm for self-hosting? 4 months ago:
I don’t have an answer for you but I have one instead. When I attempted to do swarm my biggest challenge was shared storage. I was attempting to run a swarm with shared storage on a NAS. Literally could not run apps, ran into a ton of problems running stacks (NAS share tried SMB and NFS). How did you get around this problem?
- Comment on Question about printing times 6 months ago:
Something else to check is your infill percentage. Make sure you don’t have it at 100% (unless you absolutely need to build something completely solid). Another thing to check is your print speed. Too low and it will take a decade to print something simple. Too fast and it cause your print to fail. At this point we will all be throwing spaghetti against the wall. Can you share a screenshot of your settings?

- Comment on [Immich] What is the "proper" way to navigate migration from another service (all photos are already on the server) 9 months ago:
This is the only thing keeping me from moving everything from PhotoPrism to Immich. I have over 40,000 objects (photos and videos) on my server already. If I could somehow get immich up and going on and have immich “recognize” this giant directory of objects without having to reupload everything, I would switch tonight.
- Comment on Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. 11 months ago:
Honestly what really matters (imo) is that you do offsite storage. Cloud, a friends house, your parents, your buddy’s NAS, whatever. Just get your data away from your “production/main” site.
For me, I chose cloud for two main reason. First, convenience. I could use a tool to automate the process of moving data offsite in a reliable manner thus keeping my offsite backups almost identical to my main array and easy retrieval should I need it. Second, I don’t really have family or friends nearby and/or with the hardware to support my need for offsite storage.
There are lots of pros and cons of each, let alone add your specific needs and circumstances on top of it.
If you can use the additional drives later on in your main array, some other server or a different purpose then it may be worth while exploring the drives (my concern would be ease of keeping offsite data up to par with main data). If you don’t like it for one reason or the other, you can always repurpose the drives and give cloud storage a try. Again, the important thing is to do it in the first place (and encrypt it client side).
- Comment on Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. 11 months ago:
Well here’s my very abbreviated conclusion (provided I remember the details appropriately) when I did the research about 3 months ago.
Wasabi - okay pricing, reliable, s3 compatible, no charges to retrieve my data, pay for 1tb blocks (wasn’t a fan of this one), penalty for data retrieval prior to a “vesting” period (if I remember correctly, you had to leave the data there for 90 days before you could retrieve it at no cost. Also not a big fan of this one)
AWS - I’m very familiar with it due to my job, pricing is largely influenced by access requirements (how often and how fast do I want to retrieve my data), very reliable, s3, charges for everything (list, read, retrieve, etc). This is the real killer and largely unaccounted cost of AWS.
Backblaze - okay pricing, reliable, s3 compliant, free retrieval of data up to the same amount that you store with them (read below), pay by the gig (much more flexible than Wasabi). My heartburn with Backblaze was that retrieval stipulation. However, they have recently increased it to free up to 3x of what you store with them which is super awesome and made my heartburn go away really quickly.
I actually chose Backblaze before the retrieval policy change and it has been rock solid from the start. Works seamlessly with the vast majority of utilities that can leverage s3 compliant storage. Pricing wise, I honestly don’t think it’s that bad
Hope this helps

I’m currently using Backblaze. I also researched Wasabi and AWS.
- Comment on Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. 11 months ago:
Can’t speak for those but I tried Kopia and it did the job okay. Ultimately tho I landed on rclone.
- Comment on Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. 11 months ago:
Lots of answers in the comment about this particular storage type/vendor. Regardless, to answer your original question, rclone. Hands down. If you spend 30-60 minutes actually reading their documentation, you are set and understand so much more of what’s going on under the hood.

- Comment on How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located? 1 year ago:
Didn’t even know
- Comment on How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located? 1 year ago:
In my opinion it really comes down to support, price (first year and renewal) and ethics.
For the ethics piece, if you think Google is an evil company then avoid Google Domains, as an example.

Okay that sounds like importing/exporting an stl should be an easy task. Let’s hope it is for me hahaha
- Comment on Does anyone know how to create a 3D wireframe? 1 year ago:
I’ll check out that series. Need a bit of a jumó start to get started.
- Comment on Does anyone know how to create a 3D wireframe? 1 year ago:
Say I have an stl of car. I would like to take that stl and import it into , push some buttons and sprinkle fairy dust to create a wireframe of said car (like in the link provided in the post) the export that wireframe to an stl, svg, or whatever I can to be used on my laser or printer.
Alternatively, if such “import” feature does not exist, then use to manually create the wireframe of a car then export it the same way as above.
- Comment on Does anyone know how to create a 3D wireframe? 1 year ago:
Okay I’ll check this out. I’ve not touched Blender out of intimidation. Every time I install it, I’m just overwhelmed with the insane amount of buttons and levers you can pull or push.
I guess it’s time to sit down, bite down on a stick and do it.

- Comment on Self Hosted Database ERD Manager? 1 year ago:
Sad indeed. Maybe raising an issue on GitHub? Even if you don’t end up using cloudbeaver, it’s worth reporting it. Maybe they don’t know there’s a problem with this component of their app.
- Comment on Self Hosted Database ERD Manager? 1 year ago:
I do remember being a bit lost with initial connection to a postgres when I first spun up the app. I clicked around for a few minutes but after than it has been very handy. My use case was extremely basic as I just needed to manipulate some records that I did not know the right query for and to visualize the rows I needed.
- Comment on Self Hosted Database ERD Manager? 1 year ago:
Have you taken a look at CloudBeaver? I’m not sure I understand what an ERD is but I’ve used this to manage and work with databases before. Pretty easy, UI is not bad at all and it’s self host-able (through docker). I don’t know if it meets your criteria 100% but worth checking out.
- Comment on Certificate management 1 year ago:
I went with the OpenSSL CA as cryptography has been a weakness of mine and I needed to tackle it. Glad I did, learned a lot throughout the process.
Importing certs is a bit of a pain at first but I just made my public root ca cert valid for 3 years (maybe 5 I can’t remember) and put that public cert in a file share accessible to all my home devices. From each device I go to the file share once, import the public root ca cert and done. It’s a one time per device pain so it’s manageable in my opinion.
Each service gets a 90 day cert signed by root ca and imported to nginx proxy manager to serve up for the service (wikijs.mydomain.io).
Anything externally exposed I use let’s encrypt for cert generation (within NPM) and internally I use the OpenSSL setup.
If you document your process and you’ve done it a few times, it’s gets quicker and easier.
- Comment on what are you all doing for secure DMS? 1 year ago:
When I was looking for a DMS I ran across MayanEDMS. I never got a chance to stand up any DMS but it may be worth checking out their site in case it meets your needs.
Not exactly DMS but I have a WikiJS instance running with MFA enabled and access control. For example, my wife and I can access a set of documents we deem sensitive but other users can’t. I use WikiJS for all my documentation needs.
