Thanks! I can read German
- Comment on Log monitoring software? 11 hours ago:
I use the elastic stack at work and it’s more than I want to set up for my homelab. I’m looking at Loki but didn’t start anything yet. I’m already running Grafana.
- 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? 13 hours ago:
It’s heavy and it doesn’t like if you tinker with the box in Non-TrueNAS ways. In the end it’s a convenient shiny gui for ZFS and NFS. But it (or ZFS) needs some RAM (minimum 8 I think), so I’m not sure about it working on your old laptop.

Same :( admittedly I never tried, but it’s the one thing everyone recommends against.

Maybe they’ll use the Forgejo code as most of it should be compatible, but yes, I won’t wait for it.

Upon reading further, I’m pretty convinced this is AI Slop. Much is this doesn’t make any sense.
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 3 days ago:
This is a lot of additional work in the first place.
Also some things here don’t seem to add up. How much of this was written by AI?
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 3 days ago:
Indeed, not sure I want do host sourcehut though. Looks like a complicated setup and only supports Alpine but not (Docker) containers.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 3 days ago:
Interesting, I’ll check that one as well!
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 3 days ago:
Yeah I guess git via mail would solve some of those problems. Maybe I’d just need to get used to it, but generally I prefer a web ui for those things, including Issue tracking etc - I know there’s tools for that via email and there’s good reasons to use it, but somehow it doesn’t feel right to me. I’ll give Drew’s articles another look, thanks for posting.

- Comment on localhosting: selfhosting to the min 4 days ago:
My initial reaction was basically one of your headlines - “Desktop apps with extra steps”. But I guess you are right that selfhosted apps are often better than plain desktop apps. Interesting idea in general.
A cool thing to have with this would be backups, designed in a way that makes it easy to manually back up on a USB drive. Not necessarily automated, but maybe with automatic reminders “You didn’t back up your data in X days - Backup now - Close”.
- Comment on Where to begin? 5 days ago:
If you want to have VMs as well, Proxmox is the to-go thing in selfhosting. Maybe your supermicro even has two network interfaces and can have a virtualized firewall or the like.
Not quite sure about your services go sleep thing. Ideally, services won’t use much CPU while idling, but certainly RAM. You can probably build something like you described, but it’s mostly not “a thing” afaik.

And my axe?
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (22 August 2025) 5 days ago:
Yeah that’s pretty cool!
- Comment on Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits? 5 days ago:
True, but from experience, those cycles are not broken by bot posts. You then have a community full of crossposts with 0 comments. Try it if you like, but usually the reason for dead communities is a lack of interested people.

Just a tip for hardware: don’t buy anything unless you really know what you need. Just start tinkering with some old computer/laptop. Most services will run fine on anything up to ~10 years old stuff
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 6 days ago:
Yes, that one, thanks!

- Comment on How To: Setup and configure Forgejo with support for Forgejo Actions and more! 6 days ago:
I think the article goes against forgejo’s best practice recommendation of installing the runner on a different instance but otherwise it seems solid.

- Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please 6 days ago:
I’m not sure you need a GPU, and Jellyfin docs state:
AMD is NOT recommended if you plan to use integrated graphics for Jellyfin.
I don’t run Jellyfin but my NAS is also TrueNAS and it’s just a J5005-ITX Mainboard with integrated cpu that costs around 100€ used. I’ve seen similar newer ones with n100 with 6 SATA ports. Pretty sure you don’t need an 8 core and you mentioned power consumption is relevant.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Sure, I’m not arguing against Anubis! I just don’t think the added compute cost is sufficient to keep them out once they adjust.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
They don’t have to do anything but let an unknown program to max their cpu unauthorized.
But they currently can’t and that’s the point.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
No, it works because the scraper bots don’t have it implemented yet. Of course the companies would rather not spend additional compute resources, but their pockets are deep and some already adapted and solve the challenges.

“good old captcha” is the most annoying thing ever for people and basically universally hated. Talking about leaving the page, what do you think what will cause more people to leave the page, a captcha that’s often broken or something where people don’t have to do anything but wait a little?
