  This quote from the article is fucking hilarous:

  Discord has also openly admitted that its Windows app is a resource hog, and it has rolled out a feature that allows the app to restart itself when RAM usage exceeds 4GB.

  Exactly what I thought when I got to that bit of the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your self-hosting success of the week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a test box set up with nixos and a config that runs all of my services. I wanted to test the declarative rebuild promise of it, so I:

  1. Filled the services with my some of my backed up data (a copy of the data, not the actual backup)
  2. Ran it for a few days using some of the services
  3. Backed up the data of the nixos test server, as well as the nixos config
  4. Reinstalled nixos on the test box, brought in the config, and rebuilt it.

  And it worked!!! All serviced came back with the data, all configuration was correct.

  I’m going to keep testing, and depending on how that goes I may switch my prod server and nas to nixos.

  I also recommend forgejo over gitea. I’m running forgejo and I love it.

  For your reverse proxy, look into pangolin. It combines proxy with wireguard tunneling and auth. So you can set up access controls on a service by service level. It’s great. I use it and love it. No affiliation. Just really happy with how it works.

  Why not both? 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using VPS for remote access of my server - some questions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the other folks recommending Pangolin on a VPS for this. It’s great. It combines a reverse proxy and a wireguard tunnel together for you. You don’t have to open any ports on your home network, and Pangolin allows you to set access levels for each individual service.

  So you can have some fully open for those who aren’t going to mess with VPNs and tunneling, and you can put other things behind Pangolin auth to add additional protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using VPS for remote access of my server - some questions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you able to ssh in with Pangolin? I’m also using Pangolin on a VPS, and though a little while ago (last year somteime?) they demoed a tool for ssh over the pangolin tunnel, I could not get it to work.

  Not at all to take away from how horrifying Epstein and every other fuck that joined him is, because they’re all fucking disgusting and should be fucking shot. Fuck every one of them.

  But also, what the fuck is that font?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make the Wordpress media library be somewhere else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is WordPress running in docker or on the host is?

  What you could do is set up and NFS or smb share on the ote other server, move all the media to that share on the file server and then mount the NFS/b share to the folder on the WordPress server.

  Set up the NFS/smb share to mount at boot. WordPress shoudnt wvwn notice the difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What DDNS providers you guys recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used duckdns for years without any issues at all. Only reason I switched is because I’m using Pangolin and tunneling instead of exposing my IP directly.

  Android or iOS?

  On android I found symphonium to be a great app to use with my navidrome server. On iOS, ply:sub was the best experience I found

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forgejo fills up hard drive with repo-archives⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the specifics but forgejo is a gotea fork. There was/is some controversy around gitea governance and movent towards prioritizing a closed source paid/private versions of gitea.

  Again, I don’t know details, just very broad strokes. I chose forgejo because it’s under active Foss development and I didnt want to deal with potentially going with gitea and then having to abandon it later for whatever reason might develop.

  And I totally understand that. These AI crawlers really suck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forgejo fills up hard drive with repo-archives⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying this is an option for you, only that I kept my forgejo instance private to avoid dealing with this AI crawler bullshit. I hope you find a good solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly enough, this concept was used in pattern making for casting machine parts back before modern machining and parts manufacturing.

  They were colloquially called shrunk rulers, and looked like a standard ruler, but was actually longer to account for the shrinkage of the material being cast.

  For example, say you’re casting a part from iron, which shrinks 1% as it cools, which amounts to 1/8 inch per foot.

  An iron shrink rule would look standard, but actually measure a foot as 1 foot 1/8 inches to account for the shrinkage (this is an example and not meant to be actually accurate).

  Source: am historian that interviewed pattern makers that used shrink rulers in their work.
