  Nice! I use Nginx Proxy Manager and found the process to be surprisingly simple, but if your public IP change often it could be annoying if you don’t have some way to automate updates of DNS records. Let us know if you have any issues!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backups? (and Intro)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been a major sinner on the backup front, but I’m now in the process of setting up automated restic encrypted backups that first copies to a different hard drive, that is then is rscynced to my Hetzner storage box (you can also swap this around - rsync to another hard drive, then use restic to dump it on the Hetzner server, but I want the backups with multiple snapshots locally as well). Primarily for Docker container configs and data for now, but I will set up similar automation for dumping stuff from my laptop on my local server and then similarly push encrypted restic repos to Hetzner. Not set up RAID or a NAS or anything like that, but I will eventually build a NAS. I am forcing myself to write the scripts in bash as well to get some more experience with it - I usually default to Python for any scripting, but in this case I would almost only use subprocess.run anyway :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RSS Club #001⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love RSS! I have tried to move all first-hand consumption of news (so excluding for instance Lemmy) to RSS, but I still haven’t found an effective way of dealing with the sheer volume of articles that is generated by the news outlets, so I am either getting exhaustes trying tosift through or missing the articles I actually want to read and archive. I am toying with the idea of feeding it through a local LLM to make daily or even weekly digests, so I can focus my RSS energy on the blogs I follow instead. But it’s at a very conceptual stage and I don’t yet have the hardware I would run that on. Anyone have experience with that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “1kW within 1hr” isn’t power. That’s energy.

  The watt is always power, not energy. I’m assuming OP here got some prepositions mixed up and meant 1 kW delivered for 1 hr. That amounts to an energy of 1 kWh.

  The second is like hell hole, tons of energy but still only a little bit of power.” No. They are both precisely the same energy.

  No, they are the same power. The energy in the case where 1 kW of power is delivered for 1 hour is 1 kWh. The energy in the case of 1 kW delivered for 1 s is about 0.28 Wh.

  If instead 1 kWh was transferred over the course of 1 hour, that is an average power of 1 kW (but does not have to be uniform, without more information we can’t know the power profile). If 1 kWh is transferred over the course of 1 s, that is an average power of 3.6 MW which is the example I think OP was getting at (ref. hell hole comment).

  Thanks for that explanation! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨KaraDAV release 0.6.0 [webdav]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a general purpose WebDAV-server? I’m looking for something to use as my Zotero file storage (nearning the point I have to spend $120 for it every year), but as of now, I know nothing about WebDAV.

  Also not sure how I understand what it means that it is compatible with Nextcloud. Is it so that my Nextcloud server uses WebDAV as file storage, and I can use this to connect to that? I have kind of been thinking about ditching Nextcloud in favor of more specialized services for the stuff I use Nextcloud for (file sync, photos, calendar, contacts and cospend).
