• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Be Done - modern offline-first self-hosted TickTick/Todoist alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Been meaning to make something like this, where every day has a list and I can swipe through days. I want uncompleted tasks to be moved to the next day at midnight. Finally, I want default (repeating) tasks every day or every week, which don’t carry over.

  Been too lazy to make it myself so right now I have a daily todo list template (text file) that gets copied to $(date -I).md a month in advance. I keep a few days open in nvim tabs and access them on my phone via ssh/termux. Then the cronjob archives old lists. Kludgy but been using it for years.

  Watching the bots eat my iocaine poison. Its most of my traffic.

  I probably would have gone with zwave or thread but zigbee is always way cheaper. Maybe someday the others will come down in price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some questions about how to structure my self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I want them available 24/7, even if I decide to distrohop and wipe my PC at home.

  If it were me, I’d get another machine as a dedicated homeserver and distro-hop on your pc.

  If it were me, I’d have chosen a different name to avoid confusion with helix the editor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Storing encryption keys for backup drives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can dettach your headers with –header.

  I’ve started putting the header and key on my boot partition on a USB key. Without the usb, the hard drives appear to be filled only with random data (plausible deniability). After booting, the USB can be removed to prepare for a panic shutdown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Storing encryption keys for backup drives⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also want to be really sure that I don’t lose the encryption keys if I lose my phone and computer where I have my password manager.

  Keep a copy on your (PIN-secured) phone and a copy on your PC and dont lose both at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is self-hosted voice chat so hard?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try mumble if you just need voice. Just fire up a docker container and open a tcp and a udp port. The settings are under-documented so things like auth are tough to set up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWRT router⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because Asus has EoL’d doesn’t mean openwrt will drop support. In fact, you can get these routers for cheap now and breathe new life into them.

  With openwrt your router will outlive you. You might have to take it out with a shotgun. I have a 20-year-old dsl router that the isp gave us for free and it will not die.

  There are probably people reading this who are younger than this router, and don’t remember DSL… and yet this beast can absolutely run openwrt 23.xx.

  openwrt.org/toh/actiontec/gt784wnv

  I say “can” because I retired mine to the box a few years ago, running 19.xx and working like new. (Just that 100Mbps is too slow.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Beginners Guide To Selfhosting Part 1⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should check out the official 11ty images plugin if you haven’t already. Itll generate multiple sizes for your output. Its the best feature imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  tldr: A used x86 desktop is better than a pi

  I’ve never understood why so many people self-host on pis. If it’s at home and not on a sailboat or drone, don’t worry about the power consumption. Worry about having enough power for a smooth operation.

  Like imagine your jellyfin skips during videos. Now you have to chase down the bottleneck and when you do, probably can’t upgrade the hardware anyway.

  Plus if the project doesnt have an ARM binary or container, you have to create a compilation workflow.

  Hospitals and schools upgrade their hardware every five years or so (when windows starts to slow down). The x86 workstations go up for auction for cheap. I buy them direct at govdeals.com (usa) where they usually sell in lots. If you just need one, look on ebay where the units are typically resold. Either way you can find something decent for $50-$100.

  So buy an x86. It will live forever and you can use your pi in a weather station or drone or similar project where size and power consumption.

  In my own setup, I have jellyfin on one $50 workstation and homeassistant/frigate on another. I would not have space (resources) for both on one machine because frigate is doing object detection on six cameras (even with a hardware detector). So the homeassistant computer has that NPU and zigbee dongle and a big hard drive for the recordings. In the Jellyfin machine, I put a 12tb hdd for the media and graphics card that is really good at transcoding (I travel a lot and stream videos from home).

  I uae tempo and love it! It’s the only client that doesnt choke on my big library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Linkwarden docker storage right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrelated: I recommend vaultwarden, an open source community fork in rust. Works great with official bitwarden apps and extensions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Separate Docker stacks using gluetun networking⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the qbt compose file, you can set

  network_mode: container:gluetun
  

  To use Gluetun’s network namespace for your qbt container. This is how I use qbt over vpn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is another implementation of what's possible inside of termux for all you self hosters.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t used to be this way. You used to apply for copyright like a patent. Rich people stole content from poor artists that didn’t have the lawyers to file copyright. This broken system has been reformed. Nowadays, if you create something, you automatically own the copyright. You now have to “opt out” of copyright with an explicit license to “release” the rights. Much better system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backing up easily⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rsync is the correct solution. It does exactly what you want and nothing more. A script that uses rsync is future-proof. Other backup solutions depend on the maintenance of the software, which could be abandoned, go up in price, or have vulnerabilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single board computer for selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hate to be the guy that says “why don’t you just do <different setup>?” But unless you are on solar, I wouldn’t worry about power consumption. Jellyfin is a resource-intensive program and you’ll have a better experience with a dedicated graphics card (as recommended in the docs). I also recommend SATA or PCIe storage I/O instead of USB.
