Welcome to the deep rabbit hole :-) how much do you know about how computers work? In general, you’re going to need to understand some basic networking and general Linux administration, but if you already have a grasp on that then I’d say you just need to start small (simple service, aim to have a resilience goal with backups and restoration) and other metrics that motivates you. Perhaps you want to learn something new with every service you host? You decide, this is your hobby :-)

Hey, don’t forget unciv :-) it may not look amazing but that game is a very fun 4x to play.

This is a very solid (if not the best) roguelike to play on phone.

The Danish krona is actually pegged to the euro, so you are half right 🙂

WORD

Scholz and Merkel have their flaws, but they’re not fascist buffoons. Yep, that’s where the bar is right now.

Devin Townsend was without a doubt one of the best artists I’ve seen live last year. I limed his music for the longest time, and got tickets the day before the concert, and it was so damn good. It wasn’t anything fancy, just awesome interaction with the crowd and amazing music.

I saw them two years ago, and I was amazed by how radically the stage shifted between songs. The band members were struggling bouncing around though 😅

I think for matrix to be usable in a homelab setting, Matrix needs to enable a way to handle these huge data storage with prune or something similar.

I found snikket to be quite decent, give it a whirl.

I have a galaxy phone but haven’t pursued the idea of installing grapheneOS on it as I thought it would be impossible. Please share you arcane knowledge of the unholy incarnations.

There are various obstacles to “just forking” a project; it requires times to understand the frameworks / libraries used in the project, understand the code and its different parts and last but not least, have a interest to invest that time and energy (most often, that time could be spent developing your own solution that would fit your usecase better).

As for the stage I was referring to, both the theories of enshittification and rot-economy see software and services going through stages to attract new users, before going in for the profit maximizing.

What’s wrong with Ubuntu and RH? Is it because of the snaps / source code debacle? Both of those had solid business cases to them and while I dislike the outcome, I do understand why they made that choice and most importantly - I still appriciate what each company does for FOSS.

My two examples are of OS SaaS that got their plug pulled before they got to that stage. See skiff.com and omnivore.

Awesome <3

If you need feedback, testing etc. on this feature, I’m happy to help. Just pm me and I’ll give you my github account.

This is really cool. Happy that you included the comments, as I find them often quite insightful. Look forward to spin this up and try it.

Edit: I know this is really hard to design and implement, but is it possible to bring in certain amount of child comments as-well? E.g., past a certain vote threshold or only X child comments deep. This might be a requirement that want to “move” the social media platform into the RSS feeder, but I want to entertain the idea.

There are so many monitoring tools with various degrees of complicated setup / configuration or the amount of information you get. And honestly, I’ve looked into various tools: checkmk, monit, Prometheus… And realised that I rarely look into that information anyway. Of all “fancy” tools, I liked the ease of Netdata to set up and the amount of information that you get. However, beware that their in the process to make their free / homelad offering worse. I’ve been eyeing beszel and don’t forget CLI based tools that are avaible such as atop, btop, htop or glances.

If you want to delve deeper into the rabbit hole of monitoring, I can recommend you to read this article below: https://matduggan.com/were-all-doing-metrics-wrong/

I’ve tried different approaches with fail2ban, crowdsec, VPNs, etc. What I settled on is to divide the data of my services in two categories: confidential and “I can live with it leaking”.

The ones that host confidential data is behind a VPN and has some basic monitoring on them.

The ones that are out in the public are behind a WAF from cloudflare with pretty restrictive rules.

Yes, cloudflare suck etc., but the value of stopping potential attacks before they reach your services is hard to match.

Just keep in mind: you need layers of different security measures to protect your services (such as backups, control of network traffic, monitoring and detection, and so on).

I really like this. Is it possible to have it search several sources in the future?

I know that you get this question a lot, but why would one use this over sterlingPDF?
