  • Seeding to ratios is self correcting, in my inexperienced opinion as I only share ISOs.

    Unpopular thing sits on someone’s computer (not mine) for ages just happily waiting until it’s useful. Popular thing is in and out. Purely for files intended to be churned; try a distro (in facebook’s case a book), use it, and delete it.

    1:3 could be said to be a minimum (1 for to pay back, 1 to pay forward, and 1 to pay for a leecher)

    Things that are going to be archived can be set as limitless as long as strain on hardware can be tolerated.

    Update went fine on a bare metal install. Customising the webUI port is a little easier now, instead of editing lighttdp.conf I think you can do it in the UI.

    I struggled to find some settings, I looked for ages for the API token. Found it in all settings: expert, scroll for half a mile down the webUI API section.

    Also, struggled with adding CNAMES in bulk, I thought you could do that in the old UI. You might be able to in the new UI. I just 'one by one’d them.

    Docker update went flawlessly.

    I have an lxc and to go which is a task for another day, unless TTeck’s updater beats me to it.




  • Cis people are not entitled to teachers. Trans people shouldn’t be forced into a teacher role for all trolls on the off chance they’re merely clueless. Many trans people have shared their lived experience, including in this thread, it isn’t hard to find.

    Here’s the ideal solution: person spreads their ignorance. Their ignorance is dutifully removed. Person goes on to learn why their ignorance was ignorant and maybe thinks before speaking next time.



  • My main storage is a mirrored pair of HDD. Versioning is handled here.

    It Syncthings an “important” folder to a local back up only 1 HDD.

    The local Backup Syncthings to my parents house with 1 SSD.

    My setup can be better, if I put the versioning on my local backup it’d free space on my main storage. I could migrate to a dedicated backup software, Borg maybe, over syncthing. But Syncthing I knew and understood when I was slapdashing this together. It’s a problem for future me.

    I’ve been seriously considering an Elitedesk G4 or Dell/Lenovo equivalent as back up machines. Mirrored drives. Enough oomph to HA the things using the “important” files: immich paperless etc.


  • My big problem is remote stuff. None of my users have aftermarket routers to easily manipulate their DNS. One has an android modem thing which is hot garbage. I’m using a combination of making their pi be their DHCP and one user is running on avahi.

    Chrome, the people’s browser of choice, really, really hates http so I’m putting them on my garbage ######.xyz domain. I had plans to one day deal with Https, just not this day. Locally I just use the domain for vaultwarden so the domain didn’t matter. But if people are going to be using it then I’ll have to get a more memorable one.

    System updates have been a faff. I’m 'ssh’ing over tailscale. When tailscale updates it kicks me out, naturally. Which interrupts the session, naturally. Which stops the update, naturally. Also, it fucks up dkpg beyond what --configure -a can repair. I’ll learn to update in background one day, or include tailscale in the unattended-upgrades. Honestly, I should put everything into unattended-upgrades.

    Locally works as intended though, so that’s nice. Everything also works for my fiancee and I remotely all as intended, which is also nice. My big project is coalescing what I’ve got into something rational. I’m on the make it good part of the “make it work > make it good” cycle.





  • +1 for Homarr. I didn’t need to learn how to write any configs. Everything can be setup in realtime, in the GUI, and is immediately testable. Homarr brought a homepage down to my skill level.

    My only wish is to lock homepages behind user permissions but it’s fine, my family friends don’t intend to explore, just to get to where they’re going.
