I don’t, I use it mostly as write only. But for things I do want to keep I have a blog and post it there and just cross post to PieFed.

I’m not using it myself but Proxmox sounds like something you could get good use out of.

For things like pinhole a small device like a raspberry pi is enough

Having several older PCs running 24/7 will cost you a lot of electricity. I would probably try to consolidate all of the things which really need to run 24/7 on one machine and put then the other stuff on machines which I can do wake on LAN on them when necessary.
Jellyfin for example does not need to run 27/7 you can wake it up when you or other users want to watch something. The webserver on the other hand needs to run 24/7 but is fairly lightweight.
I have a NAS but I don’t really use it for much just small things like grafana and a second picture backup from the phones, because the old synology is not powerful enough for things like paperless, Immich, etc. So those things I run on my PC which I can WOL.

We have IPFS already, which is a federated file system which doesn’t depend on domains, but has content hashes. And we also have BitTorrent with magnet links, also independent of domains. So something similar could be implemented and I think it would be neat.

Because you point to :latest and everything is dockerized and on one machine? How does it know when it’s time to upgrade?

Yeah, For some reason I didn’t think of ansible even though I use it at work regularly. Thanks for pointing it out!

And it’s stable enough for you? Do you go service by service or is it good enough for everything?

So everything is dockerized and points to :latest?

What about the necessary changes to the docker compose files? What about changes necessary in nginx configs?

I guess you also read each release notes manually?

I am developing a script which will do that specifically for my services.

Right now at the first stage it only checks GitHub, Codeberg, etc. To check if there is a new version compared to what each service is running right now.

https://git.jeena.net/jeena/service-update-alerts

I am extending it now with a auto update part, but it’s difficult because sometimes I can’t just call a static script because some other migration things need to run. So I have a classifier which takes the release notes and let’s a local LLM to judge if it’s OK to run the automation or if I need to do it manually. But for that I am collecting old release notes as examples from each service. This takes forever to do so I only have it done for PieFed, PeerTube, Immich and open-webui, and I didn’t push those changes to the public repo yet.

Hm, I didn’t think of ansible, that’s something I should think about to use.

What is n8n?

I know what you mean, at work right now when you run Linux they don’t give you support but they also don’t enforce any of the bullshit but skill give you VPN access to the work resources.

On win and Mac they dust disabled USB storage access and there is a to other bullshit going in TN the name of security while everyone uploads their code to openai or anthropic because they’re pushing for it

So now I am hidden from IT, when those Sanitized Linux ditros start showing up they will build in the same bullshit as they have from win and Mac now and then I’m fucked, because they will force me to use them

One caveat is that all of us are using the same user radicale user account
This is not necessary, we don’t do that we have the same setup but what I did was I just symlinked the shared calendars, to all the users, see https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/wiki/Sharing-Collections

Yeah, actually once I realized how much they have I turned it off in panic first, but then I realized, turning it off only disallowes me access to it, they still have it, so I turned it back on.

OK, I didn’t read the full text but I saw self-hostable alternative to Google Timeline and Hona Assistant and I’m sold!

Google timeline once genuenly helped me get my Swedish citizenship, but it also freaked me out how much data Google had about me.

I had to write down when I left the country and when I came back for the last 5 years or so, and without timeline it would not been possible because during that time I traveled abroad at least twice a Mont for a year.

Anyway it sounds very cool especially because I’m already having Home assistant set up for this but it doesn’t have this timeline functionality.

FairScan, very cool, I was looking for something like that. I already use Paperless.

Interesting that finally there starts to be some reprecusions for the Germans being so pro genocide. I know it’s a very small gesture in a very nish social media but I’m happy about it neverthe less.

Das ist schon unfair die URL so zu verschleiern.

Thanks for mentioning it!
