- Comment on Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks? 8 hours ago:
Never tried with non free podcasts…
Maybe if you can specify authentication in the URL it can work? Or you manually upload them.
- Comment on Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks? 1 day ago:
Yes, its plug and play easy peasy. Search and download directly inside abs

My notes and my approach, so YMMV
- Comment on Alpine Linux intro 3 days ago:
On gentoo, yes they are distributed as packages
- Comment on Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks? 3 days ago:
+1 for audiobookshelf
I use it for audiobooks and podcasts.
Does it support ebooks? Never known.
Anyway I wouldn’t use it for ebooks, better to use a dedicated reader. Even if they seems to be the same stuff (books) they really are not as one is pure audio and other pure text. Way different way to use them that I think no good reader supports both formats at once in a satisfactory way.
- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 4 days ago:
Here: wiki.gardiol.org
Based on Dokuwiki and my own experience. Mostly started to track what and why I do stuff, and published because I truly believe in a free internet.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 5 days ago:
They would not be able to.
Ai only mix and match what they have copied from human stuff, and most of code out there is on high level language, not machine code.
In other words, ai don’t know what they are doing they just maximize a probability to give you an answer, that’s all.
But really, the objective is to provide a human with a more or less correct boilerplate code, and humans would not read machine code
- Comment on audiobookshelf listen to podcast without downloading 6 days ago:
Yes, if you mean not download to the cliebt. By default they are streamed to your client.
If you are asking NOT to download them to the server itself… Nope, make no sense after all… You are selfhosting…
Just use antennapod instead or another podcast client and don’t use abs in that case.
- Comment on Recs: Calendar and Contacts? 1 week ago:
I use radicale with great success. Highly recommended. It’s simple and barebone, get the job done, doesn’t get into the way.
Is it fancy and has bells and whistles? No. But who cares given how solid and easy it is.
It has no web calendar, you need an additional tool for that.
- Comment on Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. 2 weeks ago:
Good thought…
But no, dreams are forgettable because they are built that way: the stuff the brain uses to create memories is disabled during dreams.
This is because, otherwise, you would just keep hallucinating without being able to discern between reality and dreams.
- Comment on MicroOS: Rootless podman? 2 weeks ago:
You can give podman rootless the power to open ports less than 1024. So no, it can still be rootless.
And yes, for being rootless you must have non root users as well…
So its probably root and not rootless
- Comment on MicroOS: Rootless podman? 2 weeks ago:
I suggest you read some guides about podman and rootless containers.
Here is my experience albeit on a different Linux: wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=gentoo%3Acontainers
- Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment 2 weeks ago:
I would just not dismantle the rack. Ensure that everything inside its securely strapped down and nothing can move freely, not even cables. Ensure that all plugs are safely screwed in the socket or tape them for non screwable ones to prevent to come loose and bang around.
Then fill voids and gaps with bubble wrap or anything light and non scratchy. Wrap everything from the outside with bubble wrap layer to prevent damage from hit or scratch.
Then find or build a big enough cardboard box to fit the rack and call it a day.
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel Alternatives 2 weeks ago:
Cool! We just released 22.2 for surya ;)
Glad to see you here too!
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel Alternatives 2 weeks ago:
Rent any low cost vps and setup wireguard tunnel or ssh tunnel to it with port forward, done.
Check wiki.gardiol.org where I detail my setup which is exactly this.
- Comment on Plex/Jellyfin - YouTube content 2 weeks ago:
Tube archivist + jellyfin plugin.
Works wonders.

- Comment on How to send backups on multiple location? 3 weeks ago:
The same way you back it up, using ssh remotely for example
- Comment on How to send backups on multiple location? 3 weeks ago:
Just run backrest backup on each server three times, one for each remote backup tepository. Easy enough.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, nextcloud is a beast with lots of whistles, if you don’t need them you can have simpler solutions
This my approach here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=selfhost%3Afileserve…
And I stated using AList which is a funny piece of software that has great potential. See here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Aalist
- Comment on Need help with SearXNG installation 3 weeks ago:
From somebody who prefer to run stuff not in containers… Don’t bother and run SearXNG in container. I suggest rootless podman instead of docker.
See my notes/guide here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Asearxng
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 3 weeks ago:
You can share jellyfin on the net. I do.
The issues shared wide and large are mostly moot points, where the attacker needs to already have access to the jellyfin itself to have any surface.
Its FUD and I am convinced spread by Plex people in an effort to cover up their fuckup and enshittyfication.
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 4 weeks ago:
Deep level packet inspection, they detect patterns or whatever in encrypted traffic (and the lack of thereof) and ban the destination ip china-wide.
How they do I have no idea, but they do, on my direct first hand experience. Its not based on domain names, directly straight and total ip ban. All ports, all domains on that ip get banned forever just because you started using a VPN (OpenVPN in my case, it was a few years ago).
- Comment on Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall? 4 weeks ago:
It will work for a bit, then they will detect VPN traffic and just block the destination ip for good. Any ip you will use will be shortly unreachable for you, so be prepared to that.
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 4 weeks ago:
LOL you madre me laugh…
Anyway being security conscious is important, and better be safe than sorry…
- Comment on does captain Picard snore in Star Trek tng? 4 weeks ago:
I would expect that in such an advanced society snoring has been “fixed” for good…
- Comment on I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use? 4 weeks ago:
The issue here is the USB stick, not the router. Use WiFi no problem but self hosting on a 32gb stick is a disaster waiting to happen, specially with a write intensive task as lemmy.
- Comment on I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use? 4 weeks ago:
He just want you to use your brain and try out stuff by yourself. Go on!
- Comment on I cannot hook an ethernet cable to a router because the router is using all the plugs. What is a backup to make a Lemmy instance with Yunohost? If there’s no other way, what else can I use? 4 weeks ago:
Get a switch, a cheap 5 ports gigabit one is only like 10 bucks or 20 if you want a reputable brand (not needed).
Or just use WiFi…
- Comment on How can I create a Lemmy instance without coding or the use of Ethernet/router wiring? 4 weeks ago:
See here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy for specific lemmy instructions and here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Aexterna… for how to remote access stuff.
While Ethernet is recommended, WiFi will work as well.
The above links are my personal experience only and indeed YEMV.
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 4 weeks ago:
100% agree.
One point: use an SSO like authelia or authentic. Way better than basic auth and you get the fancy login form too preserving all the benefits, and you can also use OIDC with those services that require more complex setup for proper auth
