- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 week ago:
Didn’t know that, I always read it was American.
Sorry Canadians - my apologies.
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 week ago:
My bad, sorry Canadians!
I just read a thread on hackernews where a bunch of Europeans where switching to netbird because of migration away from US tech, so I guess that was a mistake on their part.
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 week ago:
Tailscale is american. There are European alternatives like netbird.io or self hosted headscale.

In some places you can still get 32GB DDR4 for a kidney if you‘re lucky.
- Comment on Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? 1 week ago:
It’ll die with me. Albeit probably a slow death over a couple months, I have to be realistic here - none of my family members will care enough to keep anything running in the long run.
It’s the same fate your grandma’s unfinished knitted scarves and socks had a couple years ago.

Every country working with Palantir is completely giving up their sovereignty to the fascist US technocracy.

- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 1 month ago:
As a sign of good will all politicians will make all of communication public starting today. That includes private and personal matters as well as all conversations with donors, party members and all government bodies and officials.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: Tories to scrap petrol ban if they win next election 1 month ago:
No, not at all. I am just saying there are more effective ways of steering people in the right direction here than banning their beloved combustion engines.
Just creating an illusion of choice while the eco friendly option is the only sensible option for their wallets will do the trick and they will rave about their new car and how much money they save instead of bitching about bans and stupid politicians.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: Tories to scrap petrol ban if they win next election 1 month ago:
Bans are the worst form of politics anyways. Just show people how much more affordable the alternatives are and subsidize local manufacturing of new environmentally friendly and sustainable tech. Let people make their own choices with their wallets and all will work out in the long run. People don’t want to be told what to do.

- Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. 2 months ago:
Home Assistant can send wake on lan commands.
If you have a remotely accessible Home Assistant Server on your LAN it can send the commands for you on the LAN while you access it remotely.
- Comment on New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." 2 months ago:
Does this include Youtube videos? Or at least Youtube videos without a clear description and summary?
Those constant ad money farming posts really lower the quality of this sub.
- Comment on Questions about EU meat import ban due to FMD 2 months ago:
You write “Traditional Hungarian Christmas treats” - no lies.
- Comment on Questions about EU meat import ban due to FMD 2 months ago:
I would just eat 3-15kg while I’m in Hungary. That’s the easiest way to get around the import issue, nobody will bat an eye if you bring back 5kg extra weight after Christmas.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
If you like her check out “Bread on Penguins” too. She was suggested to me because I watch Veronica and I really dig the way she does her videos too. She’s the complete opposite of the mainstream YouTubers and just a nice person who really enjoys Linux and making videos.
- Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 2 months ago:
I‘m a realist in that regard, once I am gone all my hard work will go to shit in 6-12 months no matter how much I train an instruct my friends and family. They just don’t care enough.

Everyone will have their own system.
I save all my credentials in Bitwarden/Vaultwarden and take notes in Joplin.
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 2 months ago:
I am still using cloudflare tunnels for home assistant, so I am a little annoyed. On the other hand this was a much needed reminder that I need to move home assistant to pangolin/newt as well.
- Comment on Backups of Backups 2 months ago:
That’s why I burn new ones every 6 months
- Comment on Backups of Backups 2 months ago:
I actually still burn 5-8 BluRay disks about twice a year with my most important data (Photos, memories etc.) which I store at my parents house as true immutable offsite backups. Furthermore I mirror my TrueNAS Backup Server every night at my brother’s place through a VPN connection .
- Comment on Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering 2 months ago:
One big advantage is that you don’t need to run unbound to free yourself from (commercial/non-profit) upstream dns providers completely.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 2 months ago:
Afaik the budget friendliest local AI solutions currently are Mac Minis due to the CPU/GPU/RAM unified structure they are powerhouses for AI.
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 3 months ago:
Last I checked it was abandoned and no one is maintaining a fork either.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 months ago:
FYI from the newest release notes for 10.11.0
Jellyfin now actively checks the available free space for its configuration and data directories. If you have less than 2GB of free space in each data directory, Jellyfin now refuses to start to prevent data corruption. Additionally, checks are implemented to prevent certain path misconfigurations that are known to cause issues. - Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 months ago:
I actually registered my unused landline for the signal rest api account a long time ago, been using that one for all kinds of automated notifications for over a year.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 months ago:
I’ve set up Uptime Kume this weekend, monitoring everything from Docker containers, network devices (like IPcams, switches, printers, …), wireguard tunnels, etc etc. (I habe 65 monitors set up so far) and a Signal rest api for notifications.
Furthermore, I integrated multiple new ESPHome switches into my Home Assistant setup for cable model reset, alarm system controller reset, etc.
