- Comment on What do you use for music library streaming? 2 days ago:
At the moment I’m trying out Ampache. It seems to have more features than Gonic.
- Comment on Looking for suggestions: Task scheduler ideally with reminders 2 weeks ago:
Nothing special. Radicale is fine, too. As far as I see it also supports sharing of CardDAV among multiple users which Baikal does not support.
One thing I needed after I migrated away from Nextcloud is the birthday calendar. There is a script for that on Baikal.
- Comment on Looking for suggestions: Task scheduler ideally with reminders 2 weeks ago:
Baikal (CalDAV server), DAVx5 for sync, Tasks.org for Android UI, Thunderbird on PC.
- Comment on Introducing UniFi OS Server for MSPs 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
Many governments want to decrypt chats. You better learn how to selfhost.
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 4 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
In that case, just use VPN software like Wireguard. You can reroute everything through your home setup.
- Comment on Calendar app 1 month ago:
Yes, fossify calendar and contacts and DAVx5 for synchronization.
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 month ago:
How about installing a downgraded instance solely for migration and then upgrading it?
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 2 months 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Since I moved to PARA, everything has been archived.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 2 months ago:
No I didn’t. You should really read the upgrade guide:
You cannot skip major releases.
- Comment on Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server 2 months 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 2 months 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? 3 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? 3 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? 4 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? 4 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? 4 months ago:
Or their subsidiary: Netcup.
- Comment on Developing a self-hosted alternative to Google Keep 4 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? 4 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. 5 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 5 months ago:
I wondered, if he still has to accomplish his dailies. Now we have the answer.
- Comment on CalDAV Server Without Exposing Server? 5 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? 6 months ago:
Yeah, haha. 😂
Wait a moment… 🤔
