I would like to backup and test restore app configs not sure how to do that yet :p

Maybe OS backup is the way somehow. Maybe I need an atomic distro …

I’ve always struggles with practicing restoring backups. Do you have to buy an identical 2nd machine to see if everything still works w/o messing up the first one?

I’d be curious seeing the discussion. Its healthy to have respectful competing opinions and see what rises to the top

Are there any services that give you a number for about $5/ year, or a lifetime cost?

I am not a very good sysadmin. All I remember is the DoH feature was causing me problems in accessing my LAN servers.

I have it a little different than you: I have a halfbaked split-DNS system wherein nc.mydomain.TLD resolves to my public IP address in public DNS, and then on the LAN, the router and the pihole both have DNS entries saying that nc.mydomain.TLD points to 192.168.1.10 . I know I should just have one DNS provider for simplicity or do it better somehow, but I don’t want a single point of failure BC the raspberry pi has failed in the past.

That’s why I started out setting an exception in firefox. I’ve since put other LAN-only services on mydomain.tld, and I think I was having trouble resolving those too without the exception. But unlike you I don’t have private ips in public DNS, although AFAIK that’s a fine practice.

Does DoH stand for DNS over HTTPS in this case?

I’ve run into similar problems as you, and am now in the habit of adding my mydomain.TLD to the exceptions for DNS over HTTPS.

I did not even consider that NAS might refer to a commercial device.

Making a raspberry pi host an always on hard drive with Samba and calling it Network Attached Storage was the first thing I ever self hosted.

Language is weird how it changes.

Matrix has “threads” but that is cursed. >:(

Hi quaff!

The app I use for this purpose is called Notally, on android. It supports reordering the checkboxes, but it doesn’t do find in page or sync to web (although it can do backup /restore – I sync the folder with nextcloud and I can access the text files)

That said if you try it, you might love how simple it is and use it for something!

For me the learning curve of learning containers does not match the value proposition of what benefits they’re supposed to provide.

Very cool!

It’s best to keep it around 50℅ and let it charge / discharge about 5%, and then charge again. See the research links on charge.org (note the bias: his business sells a dongle, but some computers like think pads come with this functionality built in.)

I’m setting up a yunohost machine for my brother as a birthday present. I got him a domain good for 10 years, and installed nextcloud and Jellyfin with some home videos digitized from our parents’ vhs tapes.

What is beets, hobbits?

Hello from the other siiiiiide

I think I found it: cassette. Unfortunately it is iOS, not selfhosted :(

You have to search for factory unlocked, because carrier unlocked is also a thing people shop for.

I second the recommendation to buy a used pixel.

Are those real tweets

Oh I get it now
