• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice to upgrade from 2slots sbc to a 4/5 slots NAS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you want to build one yourself or are you mainly interested in off-the-shelf solutions? What’s your budget? Do you run your services as containers? Do you need hardware acceleration for streaming with Jellyfin/Plex?

  I would like to already have some redundancy, can I use the hard drives as they are or will I have to do something to them besides adding other hard drives?

  Why do you want redundancy? To keep your data available or to keep your data safe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Lays Off Employee Who Slept In Car To Work Longer Hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually check my emails while on my autopilot commute to work

  Also, with a 90-minute commute each way, in 2023, he apparently started sleeping in his car, showering at the factory and microwaving his dinners on days that he was working.

  This guy sounds like a fucking idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Assassin's Creed 2 hold today?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AC2 will always have a special place in my heart. If you’re in a renaissance mood, you should definitly try it. I loved to roam around florence and venice while experiencing Ezios adventures. It was also fun to witness Ezio maturing over the span of three games from a rather dumb young man to an old veteran assassin. When the series ended it felt like saying goodbye to an old friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted systrem to monitor daily incoming email (backup reports)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it have to be by monitoring emails or do you have control over the backup script? I’m using Uptime Kuma to monitor my backups via push monitors. My backup scripts call a webhook to indicate success or failure. If the webhook isn’t called for X hours, the backup is also marked as failed. Works really well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally got a UPS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A great investment! Just a few nights ago my power died three times for a few seconds while my NAS was in a degraded state and resilvering. My UPS saved my ass.

  Nice rack btw!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux distro for selfhosting server⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since you’re already familiar with a debian based distro, switching to the OG debian would be an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, I couldn’t run half of the services in my homelab if they weren’t containerized. Running random, complex installation scripts and maintaining multiple services installed side-by-side would be a nightmare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authelia Docker Image outdated?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not using Authelia myself but I don’t think you’d need to run beta releases to get security patches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I accidentally slowed down my nextcloud instance for months⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting - I didn’t bother to set the X-Real-IP headers until now and this might speed up my instance too. Thanks!

  Then I wondered: what if the program is “smart” and throttles it by itself without any warning to the admin if it thinks that an ip address is sending too many requests?

  The word you’re looking for is “Rate Limit(ing)” and according to the documentation you could also disable it completely.

  But I guess the cleanest and most secure solution would be to just set the headers on the reverse proxy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world's smallest PNG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting read! The follow-up about the biggest smallest PNG goes even more in depth about compression and produces a 1x2064 pixel PNG with just 67 bytes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitLab users warned of flaw that allows file overwrite — so update now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This patch is a week old, so hopefully you have already updated.

  GitLab seems to have glaring security holes quite often. Surely this is in part because of the open source codebase and their bug bounty program, which incentivizes researchers to look for these flaws. I’m still baffled sometimes. I’ve read about a lot of > 9.0 CVEs while maintaining our GitLab instance, there was a 10 only three weeks ago. Thankfully our instance isn’t public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you back up?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I upload encrypted daily snapshots to a bucket in the cloud using restic.

  How do you upload a snapshot? I’m using TrueNAS where I can make snapshots visible in a otherwise hidden .zfs directory. Do you just backup from there or something similar? Is there an upside to backing up a snapshot instead of just the current data?
