• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing UniFi OS Server for MSPs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got Unifi Network installed in a container on my home server. I have also an custom-built router, because it is much more powerful than any appliance and does not cost as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Many governments want to decrypt chats. You better learn how to selfhost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a remark from someone who runs ZFS since the beginning. Many people don’t like the deduplication feature because of its memory footprint.

  It’s also nice to have this feature without relying on a certain filesystem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to make a phone proxy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case, just use VPN software like Wireguard. You can reroute everything through your home setup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calendar app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, fossify calendar and contacts and DAVx5 for synchronization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How about installing a downgraded instance solely for migration and then upgrading it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I selfhost Anysync for Anytype. In this way I can sync my notes with my family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m thinking about moving my Nextcloud calendars and addressbooks to Baikal. Why? Because I like one “tool for one thing” better than “one tool for everything”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I migrated from Logseq to Anytype. I just took the raw contents from the directories and imported them as markdown in the desktop client.

  Since I moved to PARA, everything has been archived. When I need a page from the archive I edit it to make it look better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No I didn’t. You should really read the upgrade guide:

  You cannot skip major releases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So you seriously expect an upgrade from major version 20 or less to major version 31 going well?

  It’s like upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 11.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s wrong with following the official upgrade procedure? Don’t complain about missing tables or indices then.

  The most important thing is that the software does not break and you can maneuver out of every bad situation. This is important for self-hosting.

  I don’t care if it’s PHP. Many good things are written in PHP. I find Python and Ruby much worse for web applications. Not because of the language, but because it’s hard to maneuver out of some situations.

  That said I didn’t have many problems with Nextcloud. The only thing I criticize is that it solves too many problems at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you document your Homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I run Netbox for documentation only. But your approach is what I actually wanted to do, if I just had plenty of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My preferences are quite different.

  You’ll need a lot of RAM for all the containers, 64 GB is nice. A CPU that saves power when idle is fine. You’ll need at least 16 TB storage (32 TB RAID1). SATA HDD is fine, when you have ZFS and cache using SSDs. Never use USB for drives.

  It does not need to be quiet. Just put it in the basement and close the door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for ... inventory management, I guess?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve even seen people making presentation slides in Excel. Why ever use anything else? 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Nextcloud is not so great. It does too many things. It’s still OK to use it, because it replaces file sharing in the cloud and you can have your own addressbook or contacts without sacrificing privacy in the Google cloud.

  Nothing special. It just runs and updates well. It also tells you what you forgot to do.

  I thought about using a dedicated addressbook, calendar and file sharing, but I’d need to have some time and at the moment it’s just running without headaches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SMS/MMS backup and sync?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wanted to know what those SMS are about. This year I got 1 SMS from an actual human being. Obviously he forgot that I read emails 1000x more often than messages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SMS/MMS backup and sync?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a bit curious. I don’t get many SMS. Maybe 10 a year. Mostly 2FA from companies who are too dumb to implement TOTP. And got only 1 MMS in my life.

  What do you need SMS/MMS for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommend EU webhosting provider to replace DreamHost?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or their subsidiary: Netcup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developing a self-hosted alternative to Google Keep⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Nextcloud for that. On Android phone it’s DAVx5. Thunderbird can use the contact via CardDAV, DAVx5 syncs them with the Android addressbook. Fossify Contacts is nicer than the Google contacts app.

  The same way it’s done with my appointments. I have also replaced the native Google calendar with the Fossify Calendar here, because it’s less annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TLS is a transport encryption. PGP is content encryption. The latter one is what is most important, even if almost no one uses it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your top three recommendations for someone new to anime?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • Solo Leveling
  • Apothecary Diaries
  • Demon Slayer
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European docs alternative for notion etc.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using Logseq for almost 2 years. But I want to try Anytype now. Both are “local first”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- • Ore dake Level Up na Ken: Season 2 - Arise from the Shadow - Episode 10 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wondered, if he still has to accomplish his dailies. Now we have the answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CalDAV Server Without Exposing Server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s the good old client certificate authentication?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: More Americans View DOGE Favorably than Unfavorably⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, exactly. Breitbart is a source of authentic information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for notes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, haha. 😂

  Wait a moment… 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broadcom reverses controversial plan in effort to cull VMware migrations⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IT departments noticed there are more viable options than VMWare. Thanks Broadcom!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck geometry⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Please be careful with two different things. Complex numbers have two components. Distances don’t. They are scalars. The length of the vector (0,1) is also 1. Just as a+bi will have the length sqrt(a^2 + b^2). You can also use polar coordinates for complex numbers. This way, you can see that i has length 1, which is the distance from 0.

  The triangle in the example above adds a vector and a scalar value. You can only add two vectors: (1,0) + (0,1) which results in (1,1) with the proper length. Or you can calculate the length/distance (absolute values) of the complex numbers directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck geometry⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so angry at people who think that distances can be imaginary.
