- Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 2 days ago:
I’ve been documenting my homelab experiments, set ups, configurations, how-to’s, etc in both Trilium and Silverbullet. I use Silverbullet more as a wiki and Trilium for journal style notes. I just got into self hosting earlier this year, so I’m by no means an expert or authority on any of this.
So my Silverbullet set up contains most of my documentation on how to get things set up. I have sections for specific components of the homelab (Proxmox general set up, general networking, specific how tos for getting various VMs and LXCs set up for specific applications, specific how tos on getting docker stacks up and running, etc.)
I didn’t document shit the first two times I set up and restarted my entire homelab, but by the third time I learned. And from there I basically just wrote down what I did to get things running properly, and then reviewed the notes afterword to make sure I understood what I wrote. This is never a perfect process, so in the following attempts of resetting my server, I’ve updated sections or made things more clear so that when I’m coming at this 8 months later I can follow my guide fully and be up and running.
Some of my notes are just copy pasted directly from tutorials I originally followed to get things set up. This way I just have an easily accessible local copy.
When I troubleshoot something, I document the steps I take in Trilium using the journal feature, so I can easily track the times and dates of when I did what. This has helped me out immensely because I forget what the fuck I did the week before all the time.
I learned all this through trial and error. You’ll figure out what needs to be documented as you go along, so don’t get too caught up trying to make sure you have a perfect documentation plan in place before deploying anything.
I’m one of those people who never really took notes on things or wrote shit down for most my life. Mostly because I’ve been doing shit that doesn’t require extensive documentation, so it was a big learning curve.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, I don’t think its being gatekept. I got into self hosting earlier this year, so I have pretty fresh eyes as a new novice.
This community here has been an incredible resource for learning and asking questions, and people here are generally very helpful and kind.
"If you can’t configure Docker, reverse proxies, and Yaml files, you shouldn’t be self-hosting."
- No, and I don’t see this perspective pushed. You do have to eventually learn how to do these things though if you want to be able to selfhost in most capacities.
Is telling people they have to learn traffic laws before driving gatekeeping driving now?

Hell yeah I love Tempo and its great to see it getting updates again. Thanks for your work on this!
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 month ago:
I’ve never completed the main quest line in any Elder Scrolls game.
The majority of my playtime in Oblivion was spent breaking into NPC houses and stealing their shit. I’d stalk targets based on who had the most valuables in their pockets when I’d see them wandering in the cities. I basically played the game as a stealing simulator, only ever completing the Thieves guild quest line and the Dark Brotherhood line when I wanted to be add some murder to my thieving.
I don’t think this is uncommon with the Elder Scrolls games.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 2 months ago:
Thanks for putting this together! This is an excellent write up and is super informative! I’m already using Navidrome + Tempo with Lidarr for my music library, but since the database issues with Lidarr popped up a few months ago I haven’t bothered adding new stuff.
I had no idea Explo was a thing, it’s just what I’ve been hoping existed. I’m going to try and get it integrated into my set up.

This is incredible! I’m going to play around with this in my docker stack.

I’ve also really struggled with Caddy despite everyone saying its so simple. I’m pretty new to all this, but I had better luck with Traefik - I now actually have a reverse proxy up and running correctly, which I haven’t been able replicate with Caddy.
Traefik labels make sense to me in a way Caddy does not.
- Comment on Better music management 5 months ago:
Wow I’ve been looking for a way to integrate soulseek into Lidarr that wasn’t a hacky mess for a while now. This is awesome, thanks for posting this.

- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 9 months ago:
I believe that if someone is supporting policies that are directly impacting your quality of life/well being you’re well within your rights of cutting that person out and telling them to fuck off.
This goes beyond “politics”. What kind of garbage person puts the well being of 2 handfuls of rich failsons ahead of their own children? Well, my parents for one, and your dad for another it seems.
Before cutting them out, I recommend putting it in terms similar to this. Emphasize how they have failed at the basic premise of being a parent by putting their own children’s wellbeing behind that of about a handful of the wealthiest families on the planet with more resources than god. Literally subsidizing these strangers failsons at the expense of their own children.
