- Comment on I need a new hobby, I'm going to set up my own Lemmy instance. Am I an idiot? 5 hours ago:
Cool man… I did the same last year, best decision ever.
Pretty easy too
- Comment on Birdnet-go: Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife 1 day ago:
That’s true…
- Comment on Birdnet-go: Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife 1 day ago:
I still like it and i have seen projects with much uglier logos made by humans. Nothing against humans or AI either.
- Comment on Birdnet-go: Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife 1 day ago:
Xale, the logo is pretty l, on topic and quite cute. Is it made with AI? No idea. Does it really matter?
Give open source projects a break will you?
If you don’t like the logo just say so.

The Android release, Will you publish on play store? Otherwise from next month it will be dead in the water for most people.
- Comment on Should I bridge Whatsapp on Matrix? (Or alternatives to get on Whatsapp) 1 week ago:
I run a few bridged, with Continuwuity.
First of all, great choice. It works perfectly and it’s very light on resources. Totally different from Synapse, specially for few users (1 user in my case) instances.
The wa bridge works just fine, but I wouldn’t rely on in for critical messages. Actually in two years I never lost a message, but … Well … My wife would NOT like that I lose even one message from her in real time.

- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Building a new server, pinping up the specs to run more serious llm in parallel with all my services.
Waiting for the CPU (an amd Ryzen 9 5950X) that delayed in delivery, and building wooden crate/case to hold everything together with proper ventilation .
- Comment on Finally happish with my all-in-one homelab (20+ services and way too much tinkering) 1 week ago:
Love the front sticker
- Comment on 🎉 Dreeve v5.0.0 released (formerly Statistics for Strava). No more Strava or any 3rd party dependencies. 2 weeks ago:
You should think about sleep data as well, because it’s an important metric for athletes as well, I always cross check my sleep data with my training performance (to find stupid excuses for the abysmal performances)
- Comment on 🎉 Dreeve v5.0.0 released (formerly Statistics for Strava). No more Strava or any 3rd party dependencies. 2 weeks ago:
Thank you, interesting piece of software … will have to seriously evaluate my workflow and act one day…
- Comment on 🎉 Dreeve v5.0.0 released (formerly Statistics for Strava). No more Strava or any 3rd party dependencies. 2 weeks ago:
Yes definitely add a way to import from Garmin, separate is good too.
- Comment on 🎉 Dreeve v5.0.0 released (formerly Statistics for Strava). No more Strava or any 3rd party dependencies. 2 weeks ago:
Love this… I am currently using endurain, two questions:
-
automatic import from Garmin? That would be lovely
-
differences with endurain for a single user?

- Comment on Multiple CalDAV calendars synced to email aliases for a single email account? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t see the problem. Which caldav server are you using? Which caldav app? Android? PC?
It’s a bit vague.
- Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers? 4 weeks ago:
And you need a robotic lawn mower? Use cattle as lawn mowers … Free fertilizer too
- Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers? 4 weeks ago:
That’s not a lawn. It’s a field you can grow crops on. You need John’s Deers…
- Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers? 4 weeks ago:
Not really, apart from some software algorithms I guess. Totally different stuff, they use a perimetrali wire with radio signal to detect borders and can work up and down slopes and have much more advanced security measures since we’ll your pet tail might be in the way. Also more security as those might be snatched by thieves walking long side your lawn … And they are built to live under rain. Hail and scorching sun.
- Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers? 4 weeks ago:
Mine is 600sqm (squared meters) and my robot clear it just fine
- Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers? 4 weeks ago:
I have own, it’s been running for like 5 years now and I have never mowed my lawn manually more than one per year.
Overall it’s not zero work and maintenance, you still need to do stuff. But like 1/10th of how much time and effort it took before
- Comment on Immich vs Ente ? 5 weeks ago:
Running immich since 2 years, never had a single breaking issue or instability of any kind.
There is really no reason not to choose immich unless you prefer something that’s only in ente.
- Comment on How secure is my local backup drive with ssfhs? 5 weeks ago:
It is as secure as it can be.
Are you planning to connect to the server from internet? Are you planning to expose services to the internet?
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI - Part 2: The Results 1 month ago:
Not at all …
You are free to do as you please, and I fully respect that.
I was also a no AI coder, but somehow changed my mind slowly as I learned how to use PROPERLY the tool, which can be quite useful.
Learning how to use it has been fun too, so I suggest you give it a try if you haven’t done so yet.
The first risk is abusing it. The second risk is trusting it. And there are many more risks, but AI is a knife and not a pistol: there are good uses for it, but you must be careful and use it properly all the time.
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI - Part 2: The Results 1 month ago:
Disclosure is needed, I agree.
Let’s say it feels complex, and the tags will not avoid the discussion in the comments anyway … but it’s a start so good for it
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI - Part 2: The Results 1 month ago:
Woah …
This is overly complex.
As a dev that sometimes published something, and I don’t vibe code butnl who doesn’t use AI nowadays? That is way too much complex. And zero projects today don’t use AI in any forms blnot even to search or bugfix …
- Comment on Recommended mini pc for a homelab? 1 month ago:
Go for a n100 or even one with an Atom CPU. Get as much ram as you can afford…
- Comment on How my AI Agent views and maintains "our" homelab 1 month ago:
I use AI, i don’t hate it at all. It’s a tool. And as such needs to be used properly and not abused. Like a knife or a camera or a drone.
I am looking at agents with interest and i believe it’s still early to try them myself, but any early adopters and experiments I find interest in …
- Comment on How my AI Agent views and maintains "our" homelab 1 month ago:
I Hope you done get down voted to oblivion. I found the read interesting.
While I still don’t see advantage in using agents for these tasks, because I have fun doing them myself, I have great interest to see where all this leads.
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 1 month ago:
No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).
Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.
I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 1 month ago:
The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself
On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.
Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.
In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.
- Comment on Does anybody know what's going on with Calibre Web Automated? 1 month ago:
There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.
I switched on the fork happily

hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…
