- Comment on If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting? 5 days ago:
Well… I bought a Philips hue starter set. And I had heard of mqtt and zigbee. And I had a spare raspberry pi.
Now that got out of hand and I am looking at a proxmox cluster….

But the entry barrier is very low. Click on a link, enter a nickname and start chatting.

A friend of mine hosts a matrix server and I have an account there, it had no problems when matrix.org went down

You didn’t selfhost your Lemmy instance…
- Comment on Sharkord - an open-source self-hostable Discord alternative with voice, video, and real-time messaging. 6 days ago:
Sure, pick a server (like you did for Lemmy) and register. Choose any of the supported apps and start.
- Comment on Clever trick to Un tangle a spool 1 week ago:
And even more unlikely to happen during production. Think about it, how would that work? Lift up the filament extruder, take out the spool, run around the extruder and continue after that?just to tangle the filament?
- Comment on SSH Client for Linux Desktop and Android - Alternative to Termius 1 week ago:
Why not sync the keys with something like syncthing? Then you can use whatever client you want (even just the terminal)
- Comment on Clever trick to Un tangle a spool 1 week ago:
Please explain to me how the manufacturer could tangle the spool. Both ends are fixed. I literally can not imagine how it could be the manufacturers fault.

Well you could have skipped a bunch of it if you make ssh only available via tailscale like he does
- Comment on 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx 1 week ago:
There are companion apps for paperless (like Paperparrot for iOS) that simplify that process even more.
No need for syncthing.
- Comment on System Redundancy 2 weeks ago:
Yes.
If you plan accordingly and set up the nodes with zfs storage from the beginning, you can have them replicate the container and vom images to all nodes every x minutes. That way you don’t need external storage.
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 weeks ago:
They do look really nice. Don’t get me wrong, these are lovely stickers. But say I want 10 of these, it would be $50, which I am not going to pay for stickers, no matter how nice they are.
Maybe put them in packs? 10 for $20 for example? Something like that.
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 weeks ago:
Why did you lie then? A user asked if you made them? You could have just said „yes, I made them, and if someone wants them, I also sell them“
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 2 weeks ago:
~$5 for a single sticker??
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (30 January 2026) 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that is what you do. But not what the majority does… heck it even asks if it can get access to 1password

Was that on Linux?
- Comment on Is Anyone Printing ICE Whistles? 4 weeks ago:
You are right. You can beat the prices on alibaba though. Then you could even get metal ones for 11 cents a piece.
- Comment on Is Anyone Printing ICE Whistles? 4 weeks ago:
Those are expensive… just a quick search on aliexpress and I found 50 whistles for 5€ including lanyards.
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 4 weeks ago:
No, but my laptop and desktop are seldomly online at the same time.
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 4 weeks ago:
How else would you do it? With a Synchronisation client? Where you need to make sure that all devices are online at the same time?
Or would you sync it over the cloud? Which would mean a server but not yours.
- Comment on BentoPDF urgent security notice: do not pull or update 4 weeks ago:
I don’t read anything related in your linked post…
- Comment on Nametag: Self-hostable personal relationships manager 4 weeks ago:
But I have multiple devices and want to access it from all of them.
- Comment on How do you Sand Coloured PETG without loosing the Colour? Are there any Methods to Preserve or Regain the Colour? 5 weeks ago:
There are lighters with a blue flame, these work quite well and controlled.
Practice on a scrap piece.

What does the underside of that print look like? Maybe nozzle too far from the plate?

Nice.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 4B 1 month ago:
That depends on your area. These machines are not available new (at least not at a reasonable price) but they are readily available refurbished for around 35€ (4gb ram) to 50€ (8gb ram) per piece in Germany.
- Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters 1 month ago:
I have a Unifi router (Unifi cloud Gateway Fiber to be precise), which one you could argue is on the higher end of consumer hardware. But there are also more consumer oriented routers with that capability.
- Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters 1 month ago:
I am certainly not an expert by any stretch. But here are my reasons: Ability to isolate some “sketchy” IOT devices into an IOT only vlan, where they are not allowed to access the rest of the network, only the internet and incoming traffic from the other vlans. Having a “clean” vlan/subnet for servers and services where I can give out static IPs without worrying about collisions with client devices
- Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters 1 month ago:
Exactly.
- Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters 1 month ago:
No. But segregation into vlans has advantages. As this comes with new adresses anyway, might as well tidy up the adress space entirely.
In the end 10.20.20.10 feels much neater than 192.168.174.10.
But yes, you are right, technically the 192.168.xx.yy adress space works the same and has plenty of space for home use.
