Hell yeah
- Comment on What else should I selfhost? 4 days ago:
The comments give some great advice on what to self host, but my advice to you before you start spinning up a million services is to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
Seriously, document as you go and you will thank yourself later. Document niche commands you found online that worked, docker compose files, IP addresses/hostnames, where you put that random config file.
There are some great self hosted wiki and documentation products out there, start with that, then build the fun stuff!
- Comment on Day 557 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
This game was my SHIT back in high school. One of our computer classes had the coolest teacher who would let all 12 of us play LAN multiplayer for the last half hour of class.
I remember figuring out how to mod Halo, and did some absolutely silly stuff with it, like making a sniper rifle that would immediately put a sticky grenade on wherever you clicked lol.

I couldn’t tell reading the post, but they may be renting instead of owning? They likely can’t do bigger construction tasks like that, so they’re forced to use what they have.
- Comment on A new look for Snikket on Android 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t really either, just from browsing their website it seems like a federated service you can either host yourself or join someone else’s, and then use their app (or a fork) to invite the people you specifically want to talk to.
I don’t know much about XMPP, but that is what it’s based on.

This is a good source, but why the fuck is Spotify listed as a suitable alternative? Spotify is one of THE apps that people are trying to break away from.

Ah, that makes sense. A bit aggressive for my needs. Thanks for the info!
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 3 weeks ago:
There is an option in the Folderpair for instant sync, I believe that is what you’re looking for. I’ve never used it, as I also just do scheduled syncs
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 3 weeks ago:
That’s what I currently use, it has a fantastic and easy to use UI. It also lets you migrate your desktop license between distros, which was super helpful while I was distro hopping a bunch in the beginning lol

Caddy is extremely easy to set up for reverse proxies! I have Caddy reverse proxy my headscale server and it’s been a dream. Literally three lines of config per proxy.
- Comment on How to keep track of system temps and hardware health indicators via dashboard with a proxmox installation? 2 months ago:
Seconding Beszel, it’s dead simple to install, and add systems to. I love the sleek interface, and the ability to send notifications to a slew of services (like ntfy)
- Comment on Help? Caddy reverse proxy 2 months ago:
I’ve honestly never tried it, since I have the only node in my home network serve the local subnet. It allowed me to statically assign IPs at home and still use them outside of the house. I suppose there’s nothing stopping you from using the overlay network, especially if you have all devices involved on the Tailscale network, but I didn’t feel like doing that :)
- Comment on Help? Caddy reverse proxy 3 months ago:
Something that might help with using Tailscale and reverse proxying: you don’t have to use the IPs given to you through the tailnet if you don’t want to. Something tailnet nodes can do is serve the local subnet theyre connected to, even if you’re running the self hosted version Headscale, which is what I do. This is how I am able to have my phone and one other pc connected through Headscale/Tailscale, but still access everything on my local network.
Im assuming your Jellyfin is on your local network, and you want to connect to it through Tailscale, but still use HTTPS? If that’s the case, you don’t need to do any kind of port forwarding on your router, as everything is funneled through Tailscale anyway.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 3 months ago:
If you just want to play music locally without hassles, there are a slew of music apps that can do it for you, my personal favorite is Musicolet.
If you wanna get fancy you could always spin up your own music server with navidrome, and combine that with the android app Symfonium (what i currently do). If you don’t like the idea of always streaming your music, for example if you have bad internet service outside your home, you can temporarily or permanently cache music to your phone.
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 5 months ago:
Same! It decided ‘fuck em all’ and just downloaded all my music locally. It took some time to find a decent music player, but ended up with Musicolet, it’s a fantastic local music player. The way I see it, I’ve paid for Spotify for years, so I don’t feel bad about downloading all the music I had on there. Any new music I want I’ll just straight up buy myself.

This is why Microsoft is making it damn near impossible to set up a new computer without logging into a Microsoft account. Luckily the OOBE trick still works (for now).
