Does Actual support investment accounts / stocks? I was using beancount/fava for tracking, but have been lazy and haven’t updated it in a long time.

What mobile issues do you have? I use it both on desktop and mobile with sync mode turned on in the PWA.
- Comment on Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes 2 months ago:
I like it, it seems pretty stable to me. I didn’t use it much before the query/template stuff was changed. I think both are fine right now, but don’t really know what it looked like before.
There’s also “space-script” now which is basically like mini javascript plugins you can write inside your notes. It’s what drew me away from trilium in the end.
I don’t blame you for taking a break if you ran into breaking changes though. That’s one benefit to keeping your notes in regular markdown files too.

Any comparisons to SilverBullet.md? It’s my favorite so far
- Comment on Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement 2 months ago:
I really like mine too, I also have a tube and a pro. Both of them have a weird issue with the TV I use most often though. Both shields won’t display anything unless I boot them in safe mode.
They both work on a different tv that is 4k. This one is an older 1080p plasma. But it’s weird that it used to work just fine. It might be related to the TV, but no other devices have issues so it’s cheaper to replace one of the shields than buy a new tv lol.
- Comment on Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement 2 months ago:
I’m still using an Nvidia shield which I guess counts as an android box. I thought they’d release a new version by now, but I’m considering building a htpc instead.
I used to use a raspberry pi 2 or 3 and it worked fine for 1080p content. Not sure if the newer pis support 4k, but it’s on my list to look into eventually.
- Comment on Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters? 2 months ago:
This is an option, my main reason for not wanting to use a hosted k8s service is cost. I already have the hardware, so I’d rather use it first if possible.
Though I have been thinking of converting some sites to be statically-generated and hosted externally.
- Comment on Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters? 2 months ago:
Network Policies are a good idea, thanks.
I was more worried about escaping the container, but maybe I shouldn’t be. I’m using Talos now as the OS and there isn’t much on the OS as it is. I can probably also enforce all of my public services to run as non-root users and not allow privileged containers/etc.
Thanks for recommending crowdsec/falco too. I’ll look into those
- Comment on Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters? 2 months ago:
It’s mostly working fine for me.
An alternative I tried before was just whitelisting which IPs are allowed to access specific ingresses, but having the ingress listen on both public/private networks. I like having a separate ingress controller better because I know the ingress isn’t accessible at all from a public ip. It keeps the logs separated as well.
Another alternative would be an external load balancer or reverse proxy that can access your cluster. It’d act as the “public” ingress, but would need to be configured to allow specific hostnames/services through.
- Comment on Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters? 2 months ago:
I did actually consider a 3rd cluster for infra stuff like dns/monitoring/etc, but at the moment I have those things in separate vms so that they don’t depend on me not breaking kubernetes.
Do you have your actual public services running in the public cluster, or only the load balancer/ingress for those public resources?
Also how are you liking garage so far? I was looking at it (instead of minio) to set up backups for a few things.

Quadlet
I haven’t heard of Quadlet before this, thanks I’ll take a look at it.
- Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive 2 months ago:
Unraid has this with their cache pools. ZFS can also be configured to have a cache drive for writes.
You can also DIY with something like mergerfs and separate file systems.
- Comment on Is connection from home server to cloudflare HTTPS or HTTP when using cloudflare tunnel? 2 months ago:
What you read online may have been referring to how cloudflare itself can always see the unencrypted traffic?
Cloudflare tunnels are encrypted, but inside of that encrypted tunnel could be a regular http stream.
- Comment on What's a standalone open source project that does file searching? 2 months ago:
Do you need to search inside of files for text, or just file names?
If inside of files, something simple like ripgrep/ag/grep like someone else mentioned would be an easy option.
If just file names, why not create an index of filenames and search that instead?
If you need an advanced search, maybe ElasticSearch would work for you? You’d have to upload each file to the elasticsearch server though.

- Comment on Looking for a crossplatform backup solution over https 3 months ago:
I have not had any issues with Kopia so far, but I have also only used it for maybe a year? My main reason for trying it was that I wanted to be able to give something to family members to use as a backup client with a reasonable ui. I can also control the default exclude list and default policies for compression/etc pretty easily.
I don’t know how many years of restic backups I have, but I still rely on it for my most important data. Anything really important on my desktop/laptop gets backed up via kopia, but also gets copied (usually via nextcloud) to a server that has hourly zfs snapshots and daily restic snapshots. Both the restic and kopia snapshots get stored on a local nas and then synced to rsync.net.
- Comment on Looking for a crossplatform backup solution over https 3 months ago:
Restic with rest-server is great.
Kopia is a little newer and has an actual web ui, so may be a good choice too.
I still use restic on all of my severs, but have started using Kopia for my non server machines.
Both support compression, encryption, and deduplication.
- Comment on what meta search engine to host? 4 months ago:
What’re you wanting to use it for, what are your main concerns?
I’d recommend searxng, but mostly because I don’t have experience with very many others. I’ve never had any issues with it either.
Check out a public instance if the engines you’re interested in and see which you like more?
- Comment on Fork of HomeBox released (v0.11.0) 5 months ago:
Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven’t tried homebox to compare yet though
- Comment on Syncing local server with seedbox 5 months ago:
The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.
rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.

Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though

- Comment on what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion 7 months ago:
Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.
I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.
I’m not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It’d be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.
