I’m done with RAID5
4mon 6d ago in jellyfin@lemmy.mldont need uptime... tried truenas scale on my ugreen nAS 64GB RAM (no ECC) and did not like it. ZFS is great no question but learning curve and risks of losing my whole array is too high (or two array of ZFS2). A pure EXT4 JBOD with replication once in a while is enough and more energy efficient for media
Anyway I envision to keep updating most of it to AV1 down the line, so reducing storage need over time (long period)
Does anybody else use CryptPad as a drive?
4mon 10d ago in buyeuropean@feddit.uk from cryptpad.frI tried really hard... but there is no tutorial for traefik, Nginx is so slow that I dont use it.
No one has posted a working config, and it is so messy with the 2 domains on a hardened traefik install.... (secure headers, ....)
The world is trying to log off U.S. tech
4mon 15d ago in technology from restofworld.orgit is easy to have 1500+ passwords, I'm online since 1996 :-) and use a password manager like keepass, some sites died, others are still online, i have multiple mailbox, twitter, facebook. it goes up really fast!
not counting also all SSO with google, apple, and now my own pocketid selfhosted domain :-)
I will have to remove also those 50+ google authentificator TOTP and replace them with passkeys....
BTW, it is recommended to use single password per service sinces more than 20 years now, so without a password manager it is impossible to create new accounts. i started in firefox, then chrome password manager, then keepassX ....
I’m selfhosting most of my stuff now and did closed 500 accounts, still 960 to review. It take times but I always while closing enter a comment like “lost confidence in USA for the next 50 years thanks to Trump” BTW most services don’t let you delete your account, in this case I empty all my personal data, upload blank images for profile, anonymize field, move email to temp mailbox and delete my password.
I did some architecture and implementation to Azure for a big client, now moved to pure AKS with only OSS software, nest step for them is to quit US cloud, a lot easier if you use pure kubernetes.
I think it is good that we reduce our reliance on US stacks, but not at the cost of using Chinese softwares.
Deleting Reddit, instagram, facebook was really the easiest and most satisfying of all.
I plan to organize meetup on sovereignty, privacy and self hosting soon too 😇
Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now
4mon 18d ago in privacy@lemmy.ml from theintercept.comJust also stop saving critical stuff on your phone you’ll never use nor open again. A good mailbox is an empty mailbox, empty signal chat and so on. With AI it is leaking any away possibly out your phone
Self-Host Weekly (30 January 2026)
4mon 18d ago in selfhosted from selfh.stmy solution is not never have anything important on my computer, i have a dedicated gaming pc just for my flight simulator. And please just empty that damn mailbox, it is not a storage system for documents and it increase surface of attack if compromised. For the rest just air gap many backups of your most important data.
E.g. keeping your taxes report unencrypted at rest on disk is a dumb idea too or worst a copy of your ID documents.
Alternatives for Photoshop?
4mon 18d ago in linux@lemmy.mltry also https://www.affinity.studio/by Canva, free and run on linux great
How many containers are you all running?
4mon 19d ago in selfhostedyes as most service sleep, and time to spin them up is fast. Moreover some services continuously poll folders and avoid disks to sleep. Letting disks sleep the whole night is a good idea if not in use, this won't shorten their lifespan.
In here it is .30 pro Kwh
yes and no...
- Idle process are not cheap: some processes avoid all disks to sleep. .
- In Europe electricity is not cheap, a bit more than .30 euro/kwh
What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable?
4mon 20d ago in selfhostedyeah i was also using hugo and free hosting with github pages, I recommend Hugo or Jekyl as you can host for free in a github repo.
but think twice, the internet is dying, people use social network 5 to 10h a day, dont read blogs and use AI chat more and more. A blog yes but maybe not public anymore, you feed tons of AI Bots and you compete against AI generated blog and avatar.
this page list a lot more issues https://www.waltercedric.com/posts/leaving/
Good luck!
