SherpaTTS is great on GrapheneOS with OSM for navigation.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 1 week 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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." 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
You write “Traditional Hungarian Christmas treats” - no lies.
- Comment on Questions about EU meat import ban due to FMD 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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.

- Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 4 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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 1 month ago:
That’s why I burn new ones every 6 months
- Comment on Backups of Backups 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
Last I checked it was abandoned and no one is maintaining a fork either.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 2 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? 2 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? 2 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.

- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 2 months ago:
Pangolin is free for non commercial self-hosting purposes and used quite intensively in the Jellyfin community.
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 2 months ago:
-
Headscale is essentially a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Tailscale’s control server, enabling creation of a private WireGuard-based mesh VPN network. It lets you use Tailscale clients while running your own control server, focusing on secure device-to-device connections without exposing open ports. It requires a server with a public IP for the control server but does not natively manage reverse proxy or authentication for web services.
-
Pangolin is a more complete self-hosted solution built on WireGuard and Traefik, combining VPN tunneling with a modular reverse proxy and authentication management. It provides centralized management with role-based access control, 2-factor authentication, automated SSL via Let’s Encrypt, and can expose multiple private networks or services through secure tunnels without needing to open firewall ports. It includes a web UI and plugins for security features like WAF, API, and OAuth2/OIDC identity providers.

You also don’t want to be tied to Tailscale, another US company.
Take a look at Pangolin instead.

Same here, I have the 4800 Plus and immediately installed TrueNAS when I got it. Has been running flawlessly since March.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 2 months ago:
Databases on sd cards are a nightmare for sd card lifetimes. I would really recommend getting at least a USD SSD stick instead if you want to keep it compact.
Your SD card will die suddenly someday in the near future otherwise.
- Comment on Scottish Government considers quitting X following owner Elon Musk’s use of platform to incite violence 3 months ago:
Do it. Everyone in their right mind should.
Everyone who reads this and still has an X account needs to do some souls searching as to why. If you just keep it to read some particular posts consider using a nitter instance instead.
