There’s also GPS logger, maybe more up-to-date :) and more privacy friendly !
- Comment on Release 0.26.0 · Dawarich (breaking changes) 3 days ago:
Very cool project, thank you ! I will give it a try on my next bike escapade !
Android GPS logger:
You may also want to check your environment, as there can be inaccuracy due to clouds, buildings, sunspots, alien invasion, etc.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 3 days ago:
They even have a full tutorial on it here.
However, if you’re going the self-signed certificate route, consider to make your own mini-CA with root-CA + intermediate CA added in your trust store on every device and all your servicrs behind a reverse proxy. The only thing you need to worry about is the certificate validity !
- Comment on Anti-forensic and secure messenger 1 week ago:
I’m interested in why so many downvotes? Because of the gitea instance or something related to the project?

London is the perfect place for some futuristic cyberpunk distopia !
The rest of the world (except some highly polluting countries who anyway doesn’t give a shit about the environment…) can keep the trees&bees and build arround it ! :)
- Comment on Imagine what Yeoman Ross would be wearing if Trelane had studied 20th century Earth 1 week ago:
Now a friend of mine wants to read this book. Does anyone knows if there’s some archive about this 1970 playboy ?
It’s for a friend and some uni study thing !
- Comment on Suggestion request: Self-hosted app for shared directories like google drive 2 weeks ago:
I think this one fits the bill ! From what I saw in the options you can even share a directory with multiple users while everyone has it’s one place and create public links… Never used these functions, but seems possible !
There’s also a webdav share functionality if thats something OP is interested in !
- Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 2 weeks ago:
Installation is easy. But the moment you have to explain the chain of action of ffmpeg’s syntax… Grandma goes back to flappybird !
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
Hey :) I’m not giving you any recommendations but want to give you my personal experience !
5 years ago I had absolutely no clue about Linux/CLI/networking/docker… You name it ! And I also wanted to repurposed and old laptop as a server.
The first distro I installed on my server was Debian ! Why? Because I remembered my brother said something along the line: “Every server infrastructure is run by Debian or a Debian derivative”. So this sounded like the perfect thing to install as a server distro :) !
5 years later I’m still running Debian on this old laptop and it’s going strong ! Never did it failed me except if I did something wrong over the CLI !
As you guessed it, you will need some degree of proficiency on the command line specially if you install your distro without a graphical user interface, which I would recommend… Yes, the CLI isn’t easy to beginning with and you will do some mistakes that will need a full reinstall of your system… But before you learn to move, you learn to stay up right on your legs and this involves a lot a failing !!
It’s not mandatory, you can install a lightweight GUI and take your time. There are a lot of application with good UI which will help you out ! However, not once did I regret to take the harder route and learned so many things along the way ! After this amount of time in the CLI, I can say I’m getting quite good In navigating my system, keeping it healthy and alive :p !
Okay, If it’s a matter of time I get it ! We only have 24h a day and most of this time is already spend at work/school, family time, friends, sleep, eat ! If you’re lucky enough to have 2 hours to spare to tinker arround, a UI is a good idea to keep a healthy balance between all your personal activities ! But keep in mind, both are thorny and have their fair share of issues and debug time.
Last words, have fun with your system :)
- Comment on Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? 2 weeks ago:
While I do agree on the general sentiment to not overcomplicate things, homebox seems rather easy to use and intuitive.
Being able to create qr code to put them on boxes and also have them directly accessible through the web interface is neat !
However, there’s one thing that’s quite cumbersome… There isn’t a one button move everything to a new location. Someone already posted a feature request ans got some traction :) so cross fingers this going be implemented in the near futur !!
- Comment on Help setting up fail2ban for jellyfin both in docker? 3 weeks ago:
The solution here is to use a wireguard (or similar technology) server and use it on all your devices. People already use VPNs for everything, so adding this layer isn’t that much of a hassle !
- Comment on Self-hosted PDF manager? 3 weeks ago:
Not self-hosted so I doesn’t really answer your question… However, if you’re still a student consider the switch to Zotero.
Things you can self-host though, to make your books available everywhere, is some webdav sever to link your books directly to zotero on access them on every device.
If you’re serious about book reading a study, nothing beats Zotero !
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah sorry ! For the ease of use part I ment the NAS stuff which already comes bundled with all the necessary software to keep things easy but less customizable !
Yeah if you get IT enterprise hardware for free it’s kinda similar to repurposing, sooo that’s a great deal and lucky you !!!
But I would never put 1$ myself into specific server stuff ! Except if one day I want to contribute to the self-hosted/opensource community and host something like newpipe or the like that needs to be publicly available.Then yeah, proper hardware and software stuff is mandatory !
Sorry if my comment came by rude, that wasn’t my purpose !
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 4 weeks ago:
Yeah… Never had a specific “server” certified hardware and always repurpose my hold hardware stuff. Never failed me !!
However, there are some functions specific to NAS’ like low power and other stuff people mention but I already forgot.
IMO all this NAS and certified server stuff is good for Enterprise shit and the like… But homelabbing it’s probably overkill and way to much overpriced for the little gain…
Except maybe for the ease of use and plug and play function? Each one it’s own I guess !
- Comment on Conduwuit is dead, long live Tuwunnel! 4 weeks ago:
Yeah maybe, I’m not sure anymore ! Maybe both had some mental break down with some strange political and cultural view 🤷♂️ Long time I haven’t been in the gaming piracy scene… But if you confirm it was Empress rather than FitGirl I will edit my comment !
- Comment on Conduwuit is dead, long live Tuwunnel! 4 weeks ago:
This reads like FitGirl’s mental breakdown xD
- Comment on How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2) 5 weeks ago:
Ohhhhh ! Sometimes I just need to sh*up !
Thanks for the clarification.
- Comment on How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2) 5 weeks ago:
Huh? Yeah it is… It’s a self-signed intermediate CA, signed by a self-signed rootCA.
In my case a miniCA in my lan.
- Comment on How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2) 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get that… What or where?
I have self-signed SSL certificate and intermediateCA installed on all my devices and works flawlessly with every application that accept those (on android the manifest.XML has to allow user based certificate which is in most cases).
One exception on Android was the use of MPV which doesn’t do that and never will? However, the web player video type from official application works without issues…
I have navidrome, jellyfin, Ironfox, LibreTube, KoReader, Findroid… All work flawlessly with self-signed certs !
The issue here (as said in the second post of his linked jellyfin post) is that them needs a reverse proxy that takes care of the SSL handshake and not jellyfin directly. So OP was missing a lot good information in them’s first post…
- Comment on Why is my server using all my Swap but I have RAM to spare? 5 weeks ago:
I though that the recommended swap partition was to double until 16 GB? So at 32GB of ram use 32GB of swap?
- Comment on [Question] How to build from ground up solar led/optic fiber lightning? [Hardware][Electronics][Coding] 5 weeks ago:
Thank you ! So ESP32/ESP8266 microcontrollers are the first lead I need to investigate.
After further searching I found this DIY-Solar-Mason-Jar-Lamp/
While this is a cool hands on project, however I really want to go a bit deeper (how to solder the PCB, understand what pieces are needed, circuit understanding and solar power cells…)
Thanks for your answer :))

- Comment on Testing vs Prod 5 weeks ago:
Production is my testing lab, but only in my homelab ! I guess I don’t care to perfectly secure my services (really dumb and easy passwords, no 2fa, not hiding plain sight passwords…) because I’m not directly exposing them to the web and accessing them externally via Wireguard ! That’s really bad practice though, but any time soon will probably clean up that mess, but right now I can’t, I have to cook some eggs…
There are 2 things though I actually do have some more complex workflow:
-
Rather complex incremental automated backup script for my docker container volumes, databases, config files, compose files.
-
Self-hosted mini-CA to access all my services via a nice .lab domain and get rid of that pesky warning on my devices.
I always do some tests if my backups are working on a VM on my personal desktop computer, because no backup means that all those years of tinkering for nothing… This will bring up some nasty depression…

- Comment on How do I use HTTPS on a private LAN without self-signed certs? 5 weeks ago:
If you change your mind someday, just send me a PM !
- Comment on How do I use HTTPS on a private LAN without self-signed certs? 5 weeks ago:
Just create a wildcard domain certificate !
I access all my services in my lan through
https://servicename.home.lab/I just had to add the rootCA certificat (actually the intermediate certificate) into my trust store on every device. That’s what they actually do, just in automated way !Never had an issue to access my services with my self-signed certs, neither on Android, iOS, windows, linux ! Everything served from my server via my reverse proxy of choice (Treafik).
However I do remember that there was something of importance to make my Android device accept the certificate (something in certificate itself and the extension).
If you’re interested I can send you the snipped of a book to fully host your own CA :). It’s a great read and easy to follow !
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 5 weeks ago:
Ohhh thanks for the clarification ! As you guest I’m not into dev/programming so I wasn’t aware of this kind of detail !
Thank you :)
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 5 weeks ago:
I mean, where else should they show that warning? It’s also posted in the forum. They also edited the documentation page.
Maybe you’re more into mailing list or the like? I’m genuine curious on what and how you expected getting this kind of information.
- Comment on Email hosting over NNCP 5 weeks ago:
Really cool stuff !! Something I need to try out for sure !
Just to bad they didn’t add a multiuser setup example :( !
If you are doing any kind of multiuser mail node, you should have a separate SMTP system in front of this one that performs any necessary validation.
- Comment on Moving from Cloudflare tunnels for media streaming, first plan didn't work out due to double NAT 1 month ago:
Maybe something worth a shot is a direct Wireguard server/client connection. While I don’t know how it works with double NAT (wireguard client with double nat) making your server act as a direct tunnel would solve all your issues.
- Access your services from everywhere without middleman.
IIR, tailscale uses wireguard under the hood and you’re already hosting things on your home server, so maybe this could be worth a try :) !
- Comment on Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump 1 month ago:
Huh? Never did I mentioned to not participate in society. On the contrary. However I find it a bit hypocrite…
Would France boycott coca cola, McD, Tesla if Trump wasn’t elected? ://
France should boycott France?! Let’s be realistic, how does someone like Macron is still in power despite the new votes to take him down?
Just my personal opinion, I’m not versed enough in politics to judge anyone. However, I have read a lot about how those multi billion dollar companies destroy our kids future…
Boycott for the real reason, not with a sketchy political background !
