On what platform?
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 2 days ago:
Sure, I can accept that.
I don’t particularly have an opinion on artist compensation vs listener freedom when it comes to this. Obviously, I would prefer artists were paid what they deserve, but I don’t like participating in the fallacy that the end user is ethically responsible for the bullshit music industry infrastructure not paying artists properly.
I give where I can, but I’m just some person.

I think like this solution the best.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 2 days ago:
Not if you’re buying them 2nd hand on eBay, which would represent the bulk of building a collection.
To be clear, im not trying to detract from the effort, it’s just op mentioned artists not getting paid what they deserve.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 2 days ago:
Legal, yes. Supports the artist? No.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 days ago:
That thing about docker being so badly behaved in unprivileged containers seems to be a proxmox problem, not an LXC problem, as I’ve discovered running LXC in a non-proxmox environment.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 days ago:
Same here. I used proxmox for 8 years and have recently dumped it in favour of a couple of incus machines running OCI and LXC containers.
Much lighter, much faster, and to be honest, more straightforward when it comes to storage abstraction, which I think proxmox does in a very… convoluted way.
- Comment on Adding additional FreeDNS domain to duckdns (nginx/certbot) 4 days ago:
You can create a canonical name (CNAME) record to point to your old domain, you don’t need to recreate the LE if you don’t want to.
- Comment on Adding additional FreeDNS domain to duckdns (nginx/certbot) 6 days ago:
Assuming I understood your scenario, Canonical name record pointing one DNS name to another domain, then recreate your letsencrypt on the host.

- Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help 1 week ago:
Makes sense, thank you.
- Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help 1 week ago:
Looks great, and I’m fully supportive of this.
However, I can’t understand the use case, and the part I can’t wrap my head around is why the server part is required… What differentiates pinepods from, say, antennapod from a functional standpoint?
- Comment on Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts 1 week ago:
I thought I was being clear that I have audited some of the scripts. They are built referencing other scripts instead of functions, and these rely on URLs. It’s difficult to follow.
Don’t ask chatgpt to audit code.
- Comment on Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts 1 week ago:
Have you ever looked at what was once ttek scripts? They’re a spaghetti of calls to other scripts. It’s not pretty.

An apipa address is a sign that networking is not working as intended. This should be resolved first before assigning a class C private addr manually.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 1 week ago:
The ds211j is on synology DSM 6, which is ancient. I’ll look again, but I don’t think it supports btrfs.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 1 week ago:
I don’t use access control, I lock down with networking and filters.
- Comment on Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction? 1 week ago:
But those are concerns for all containers, and not really an immich issue.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 1 week ago:
I agree, NFS is eazy peazy, livin greazy.
I have an old ds211j synology for backup. I just can’t bring myself to replace it, it still works. However, it doesn’t support zfs. I wish I could get another Linux running on this thing.
However, NFS does work on it and is so simple and easy to lock down, it works in a ton of corner cases like mine.
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 2 weeks ago:
My issue with mgmt.config is that it bills itself as an api-driven “modern” orchestrator, but as soon as you don’t have systemd on clients, it becomes insanely complicated to blast out simple changes.
Mgmt.config also claims to be “easy”, but you have to learn MCL’s weird syntax, which the issue I have with chef and its use of ruby.
Yes, ansible is relatively simple, but it runs on anything (including being supported on actual arm64) and I daresay that layering roles and modules makes ansible quite powerful.
It’s kind of like nagios… Nagios sucks. But it has such a massive library of monitoring tricks and tools that it will be around forever.
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 2 weeks ago:
Running the k8s in their own VM will allow you to hedge against mistakes and keep some separation between infra and kube.
I personally don’t use proxmox anymore, but I deploy with ansible and roles, not k8s anymore.
- Comment on Help setting up a selfhosted VPN at home 2 weeks ago:
Besides being easy, there is no advantage to tailscale for this case, and I would add that lots of us don’t want to depend on an external resource just to road warrior back home.
- Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re still OK.
There are lots of great itx boards out there, so basically take your pick. And there will be ppl who say you don’t need ecc, but it certainly won’t hurt, it will just cost a bunch more.
I run a supermicro mini itx with ecc, for my zfs backup, but my non ecc machines have also been fine.
- Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please 2 weeks ago:
You’re fine with this setup, and in many respects it’s overkill.
I run 33 containers including jellyfin, frigate, and immich as the hardest working ones across 2 HP elitedesk g4 with 48 GB ram, and a 3rd low power system hosting 8gb NFS for storage on simple gigabit lan. Even that is overkill for these tasks.
The apps most commonly run in a self-hosted env are really quite lightweight and spend most of their time at idle.
- Comment on Your fav guide/method for securing Jellyfin? 3 weeks ago:
I think the big deciding factor is how many folks will be watching remotely.
For my case, I use a VPN to tunnel back to my network and watch jellyfin that way. My son also lives away and watches jellyfin, but for him I simply punch a hole in my firewall for only his public ip, which doesn’t change much.
This works for me, but had to host for any more ppl, I would likely go the caddy route.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s not about the list of things wrong with (in this case) systemd. I don’t like systemd’s approach either, and I think poettering is a pompous ass. But we’re here now.
The great thing about Linux is that when someone comes around and wants xfce with i3 instead of xfwm, they can have that. Most of us might think it’s a stupid idea, but if they want it, they can do it.
So when it came to systemd, no one ran up and said “I don’t like this”, they just didn’t use it, mostly cause it was half-baked. And hey, if some guy wants to build an all-systemd box, go for it.
The crime of systemd is forcing most of us to use it by shipping it by default with Ubuntu, then Debian, then red hat, etc. I see menus in the debian install that ask what DE to use, whether SSH should be installed, etc, but no sysV/OpenRC/systemd menu choice.
The problem isn’t “what’s wrong with systemd”, it’s “why are you removing my choice to pick”. That’s why this list misses the point.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
That is incus. But similar in other implementations of LXC. Docker has similar ratios, but I suspect you know this already.
Also, I fucking hate the person that decided it wasn’t going to do search domains properly or DNS over TCP.
That has been fixed since 3.18.
Look, I’m not sure why you’re challenging me so hard on this, I’m not a superfan of Alpine or anything. I use it when I can because it’s really, really light on memory and so do others. There are lots of cases that don’t work with Alpine, like mongodb, sql, etc. But there are lots of great uses for alpine as well, like networking or anything that works well with busybox tooling.
Have a better one.

Glibc matters on desktop, but the speed advantage doesn’t really matter to services running in cgroup2 containers borrowing the host’s kernel and namespaces.
For op’s purposes, memory density is important, and alpine base images will need about 10x less memory than their Debian counterparts, mostly due to a very pared-down service layout.
There’s a reason a huge portion of docker images are alpine-based.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Alpine is a fair amount lighter in memory consumption than Debian.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m no systemd fan, but this is wacky.
