- Comment on Nextcloud client just deleted all of my files, why did it do this? 1 day ago:
Because you pointed 2 programs at the same directory to sync the content with an external directory structure.
In my experience adding an already existing directory structure to a sync program is a bad idea. Create the directory and then move the existing structure into it to be safe or/and at the very least have a backup.
Not having a backup is on you. You got lucky this time.
- Comment on Help Running Scrutiny 2 days ago:
NOTE: Scrutiny is a Work-in-Progress and still has some rough edges.
Honestly, at this point i would not recommend the usage of scrutiny, the development was almost ways really slow and the creater does not seem to have kuch interest in the project. There are still standing issues and imho important features missing.
I would look into prometheus+grafana or something of that sort.
- Comment on I present: Managarr - A TUI and CLI to help you manage your Servarr instances 2 weeks ago:
This is not really correct. Those companies take complete control of the secret keys. And no, it is not the same effect when you use tailscale compared to wireguard cause of various reasons. CGNAT, no port forwarding, funnels etc.
- Comment on I present: Managarr - A TUI and CLI to help you manage your Servarr instances 3 weeks ago:
Netmaker, Tailscale or Zerotier
No way in hell i am giving a company complete remote access to my servers and clients.
- Comment on JetKVM - a polished take at the nanoKVM(?) 3 weeks ago:
This is not the invention of an IP KVM, those are old. This product just offers the functionality of an IP KVM for very little money.
- Comment on JetKVM - a polished take at the nanoKVM(?) 3 weeks ago:
It is based on completely different hardware. A Raspberry Pi CPU is much more expensive than the CPU that is used here.
- Comment on JetKVM - a polished take at the nanoKVM(?) 3 weeks ago:
Power issues can cause problems that the hardware glitches into states it should not be. Changing something in the BIOS or updating it. Hardware defects. OS upgrade fails (Kernel bug causes the network driver to fail) Etc. Etc.
Those devices are not for the weekly “oh my setup failed” its for the once in 10 years “i am on vacation and the server is not reachable and for some reasons my system crashed and has not rebooted by its own”
And for below 100€ it’s a no-brainer.
- Comment on Anyone self-hosting ActualBudget? (with connection to bank) 3 weeks ago:
I just set it up. Yes i dislike the fact, that you need another party for syncing it, but i doubt it would be possible otherwise, just too much work to support everyone.
I read up on GoCardless and they do not sound that evil
But not sure if i will keep the connection up. Will see i guess.

Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 4 weeks ago:
I am talking about the fork. It is operated by someone else.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 4 weeks ago:
The syncthing fork on f-droid is still an option. An issue has been opened on the github repo. Lets see what will happen with the fork
- Comment on If you already know Docker CLI, is there a reason to use Portainer? 1 month ago:
The thing is, those poor design decisions have nothing to do with those features, i claim that every feature could be implemented without “holding the compose files hostage”.
Btw. dockge does support connecting to another docker dockge instance.
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 1 month ago:
No, that would make no sense and is obviously not what i meant.
But you could separate the arr stack from things like pihole with a vm. For example you could pin one thread to that VM so you will not bottleneck your DNS when you are doing heavy loads on the rest of the system. This is just one example what can be done.
Just because you do not see a benefit, does not mean there is none.
Also, VMs are not “heavy” thanks to virtualization technology built into modern hardware, VMs are quite light on the system. Yes they still have overhead but its not like you are giving up big percentages of your potential performance, depending on the setup.
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 1 month ago:
You talk like there is not in between containers and VMs. You can use both.

Who says that it is no longer maintained? github.com/containers/podman-compose Looks fine to me?
- Comment on How do you use only ipv6 server? 1 month ago:
There are tunnel protocols like 6to4, 6RD and so on to allow you to get an IPv6 connection tunneled to you. Various routers do support it.
Another option is to ask your ISP if he will supply a IPv6 subnet to you.
- Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work 1 month ago:
You can disable the web updater in the config which is the default when deploying via docker. The only time i had a mismatch is when i migrated from a nativ debian installation to a docker one and fucked up some permissions. And that was during tinkering while migrating it. Its solid for me ever since.
Again, there is no official nextcloud auto updater, OP chose to use an auto updater which bricked OPs setup (a plugin was disabled).
- Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work 1 month ago:
Docker is kind of a giant mess in my experience. The trick to it is creating backup plans to recover your data when it fails.
Thats the trick for any production service. Especially when you do an update.
- Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work 1 month ago:
They’re releasing a new version every two month or so and dropping them rapidly from support, pinning it with a tag means that in 12 months the install would be exploitable.
The lifecycle can be found with a single online search. Here github.com/…/Maintenance-and-Release-Schedule
Releases are maintained for roughly a year.
Set yourself a notification if you forget it otherwise.
- Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work 1 month ago:
What are you talking about? If you are not manual (or by something like watchtower) pull the newest image it will not update by itself.
I have never seen an auto-update feature by nextcloud itself, can you pls link to it?
- Comment on I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work 1 month ago:
The docker image automatically updated the install to nextcloud 30, but the forms app requires nextcloud 29 or lower.
Lol. Do not blame others for your incompetence. If you have automatically updates enabled then that is your fault when it breaks things. Just pin the major version with a tag like nextcloud:29 or something. Upgrading major versions automatically in production is a terrible decision.
- Comment on Synology/QNAP/Asustor 1 month ago:
That brings me to what’s available. I almost pulled the trigger on Synology DS423+. It looks reasonable powerful, I can put 4 SATA SSDs and 2 M.2… that’s what I thought. But it turned out it’s not possible to use M.2 as storage with anything but Synology’s own overpriced drives that aren’t even available in my country.
You can use a script to make them available. Still a pain.
Since you only need 2 TB, why do you even bother with the m.2 slots?
Why do you think that you need the m.2 in the first place? I guess you are hang up on “sata bad cause m.2 new” (thats btw only the connector not the interface, there are sata m.2 as well)
sata can handle 6 Gbps. That’s 6 times more than most home network connections can even handle. Since you have not mentioned once how many Ethernet ports the systems have and how fast they are, i figure you only have a 1 Gbps LAN.
Yes NVMe SSDs are somewhat cheaper these days, but not that much that i would bother with it. We are only talking about 2 times 2 tb.
- Comment on How can I keep my forwarded port secure? 2 months ago:
A port is not secure or insecure. The thing that can lead to security risks is the service that answers that port.
Use strong authentication and encryption on those services and keep them up to date.
- Comment on What do people here think of Nebula? 2 months ago:
Yes. But it removes some benefits. You again open some ports or use a VPS to host it. The benefit of not needing to have open ports on other servers and central auth and management still stands.
- Comment on What do people here think of Nebula? 2 months ago:
The benefits are obvious:
- No port forwarding needed
- Central Auth management
- Easy integration of new devices
Not saying you should do it or that it is better overall, but ignoring those is not fair.
Personally i would never go for Tailscale since i give away the access control to my kingdom to a company. Exactly what i want to get away from through selfhosting.
- Comment on Power outage worries 2 months ago:
The batteries should not degrade that fast. Get a name brand like Eaton or APC or something like that similar to a Power supply, cheap devices can do harm to your expensive devices. Have a couple of setups where the batteries (lead acid) are 5+ years old and they work ok.
- Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive 2 months ago:
The limitation of HDDs was never sequential Read/Write when it comes to day to day use on a PC.
The huge difference to an SSD is when data is written or read not sequentially, often referred to random I/O.
- Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive 2 months ago:
40MB/s is very very low even for a HDD. I would eventually debug why it’s that low.
Yes it’s possible. FS like zfs btrfs etc. support that.
- Comment on Tailscale blocked on hotel wifi 2 months ago:
That is why i have everything that needs to be accessible, is reasonably secure and is not critical like management interfaces exposed.
You could try to http proxy your connection. As soon as the connection is then encrypted with https no firewall can block it.
The firewall probably blocks everything except port 80 and 443 and every protocol except tcp and udp.
- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 3 months ago:
No, but those vulnerabilities where there when you bought it.
Would a car have a defect that was shown 5 years later, then the manufacturer would have to recall it or offer a repair program and or money in exchange.
Since everything is proprietary you cannot even fix things like this by yourself. The manufacturer needs to be held liable.
