If a container uses Postgresql, you can’t auto update.
That’s interesting. I certainly will keep that in mind.

Thought I had answered you this morning, but apparently not. I did see the rate limit entry, but I thought that rate limits are like 100 pulls every 6 hours and I certainly haven’t exceeded 100. I just checked tho, and all but two have updated, so as you say, it’ll eventually get around to it. Thank you for the input.
- Comment on Question About Watchtower 4 days ago:
Apologies. My bad…I misunderstood. Tags/Labels… To answer your question, no I am not running any tags. I just checked and all but two have updated, so it might be as a lot of people have suggested. It’ll get around to it. Sorry for my confusion.

If I have disabled labels in deployment, then I’m not using any labels, since I disabled them in deployment. Does that track?

These are the Watchtower logs so far. pastes.io/watchtower
I didn’t see anything remarkable other than the error for Netdata but I got that fixed:
NFO[30906] Found new netdata/netdata:latest image (6376ffeda44a) INFO[30940] Stopping /NETDATA (a18a3e3409f3) with SIGTERM INFO[30942] Creating /NETDATA ERRO[30942] Error response from daemon: the container-wide MAC address must match the endpoint-specific MAC address for the main network, or be left empty

The end result is that people understood common sense that it’s not admirable to be pathetic and weak. You should have been beaten as a kid by other kids, and weren’t.
Ahh yes. Violence always helps. I come from an entirely different timeline myself being 70 years old. I didn’t like bullies then, and I don’t like them now.

I was thinking more along the lines of Morty’s sex robot purchased at a intergalactic pawnshop.

Hmmm, well, I’m not one to judge a person’s proclivities, but I don’t see it as being much different than porn, assuming you are selfhosting a girlfriend for sexual release/companionship. I’m not sure I’d disclose this on a public forum, but maybe you feel a bit more comfortable than I.
The other consideration is that AI generally takes a pretty good chunk of resources to use effectively. I have selfhosted a couple of LLMs like GPTFree, Automattic111, and a couple more, however, as I mentioned, they take a lot of resources.

That Dead Man’s Hand looks interesting. I guess it could send out texts and email should the owner pass away…or as the dev said, when you are no longer be “available”.

Just don’t look behind the curtain to see what the CEO is up to.
Had to go look it up. What a cluster. Anyways, I don’t blog mainly because I don’t have anything to say that people would be interested in. Maybe farming. LOL I’ve just wondered down through the years why someone didn’t fix all the attack surfaces Wordpress seems to have. Plus it drives a substantial share of websites, so I guess it’s a good target to go after.
- Comment on Selfhosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last. 5 days ago:
Life rears it’s ugly head again. It happens tho. I myself, have had to scale things back over to where things are more manageable in my declining years. It wasn’t a podcast that I frequented on the regular, but I did enjoy the material presented.
- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 6 days ago:
I really don’t like the idea of every device automatically having a publicly reachable IP.
It’s kind of like AI or ‘the cloud’. Everything now has access to at least your wifi. Hell, even my rumba has wireless access. I didn’t activate that feature. I live in a very small house. If I want to restart it, I can walk over to it and push the restart button. Refrigerators with flat screen embedded in the door? Who is that for? I just want my fridge to keep everything cold. I absolutely love technology. I think it’s wonderful. However, imho, not everything needs internet access, or AI, or ‘the cloud’. I did build a little ‘magic mirror’ a while back that alerts me about weather, schedules, keeps track of a couple of my 25 different security cams, but that’s about it. I haven’t purchased a vehicle in quite a long while now, but I would guess the gadgetry saturation is pretty high.

What is it about Wordpress? I’ve never used it, but it seems that every other day there is a new Wordpress exploit, and that’s been going on for years.
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 6 days ago:
I would find it odd. I am always shocked when I look up an ip at AbuseIPDB and find it has no history. Bots scan everything, even the most innocuous ioT devices.

If you want a backup cert checker, iam.redsift.cloud does it for free. They basically took over the LetsEncrypt email notifications.
- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 1 week ago:
That’s cool OP. I have a business internet package with a static IP. I do a lot of large file transfers between clients and it does come in handy. I’ve yet to serve any public facing services tho. I’ve tried on numerous occasions to get invidious running consistently. It just seemed like I was having to tinker with it weekly just to keep the wheel spinning. I’m not sure what the issues were except maybe YT blocking IPs.
Have fun OP, and be safe and secure with your new found powers.
- Comment on How to forward real IP from Caddy server? 1 week ago:
Ok so This is a bit outside my Caddy knowledge base, but I remember reading about the Caddy RealIP module: github.com/captncraig/caddy-realip. Sounds like maybe that would be something to investigate.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is a good point. I know there are a handful that my ISP blocks right off the bat. For me it’s 25,135,137, 138, 139, 445, 6666, 6667.
- Comment on Spit Balling A Work Around For Blocked Email Port 1 week ago:
the simplest option is probably to just have Postfix deliver into a local mailbox and access that over IMAP
I already have sendmail on the server. Is there something special about Postfix? Just asking,I’ve never run Postfix and I’ve never had this experience before with a host. I guess they think that if they charge an extra 6 Euros to flip the switch, people wouldn’t use it for spam purposes. I’m bound and determined to figure out a workaround just because.
- Comment on Spit Balling A Work Around For Blocked Email Port 1 week ago:
Would something like Mailu work. It runs in a docker container.

She sure has a lot of domains tho. That’s not that unusual, just notable. I hope she finds inner peace.

- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 1 week ago:
opnSense and use that immediately after your new ISP device
This. It’s how I set up my local network, tho I went with pFsense and then hung Pi-Hole+unbound off the managed switch. I did have to set up a vlan just for my lady friend because, apparently, screens full of ads is exactly what she likes, and I don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel every time she comes over. So, I guess you could say it’s pain avoidance. LOL

The fuck you say…LOL.
- Comment on An alternative to Contabo (VPS provider) 1 week ago:
As I mentioned, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. One thing I don’t like about Contabo is that you can only maintain one snapshot at a time and there is no automatic way to create multiple snapshots. I did find an n8n flow that does just that.
- Comment on An alternative to Contabo (VPS provider) 1 week ago:
One man’s dream VPS is another man’s nightmare VPS.
I do business with Contabo. They did raise my monthly by $1. I’m still with them, I have had no real issues with their service. I also do business with Ethernet Services. They are bare bones, no frills, hosters. I pay $25 per year with them so I don’t really expect that much in return except for keeping everything online and they do a fairly good job of it. Their service tickets are slow, but they’ll get around to you.
LuxVPS is my latest host. I get more bang for buck from them:
- Black Luxury Deal #1
4 vCores (Xeon Gold 6150)- 26 GB DDR4 RAM
- 150 GB Raid 1 NVMe
- 1 Gbit internet speed | 40 TB Traffic
- 1x IPv4
- 1x /64 IPv6
- 3.2Tbit Premium DDoS Protection
- 24/7 Ticket Support
- 4 Backups
- For ONLY 10€/Mo (recurring)
Their only caveat is that you have to pay extra for mail ports.
- Comment on Considering a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q for use as a discrete HTPC / SteamLink console. Is this a good idea? Does anyone here have any experience with these? 1 week ago:
If it was free, I’d say go for it. If it’s $100, you’re halfway to a much more capable machine
This very line of reasoning is why I cannot build cheap desktops. I’m always thinking ‘well you know, if you add another $100 you could have all of this’
