@blog As an old IT geek that started in this game long before the modern internet (I had an email address in the 1980s when all it could do was talk to UK or US universities or the military via JANET or DARPANET etc.over UUCP) I have been increasingly depressed at how big US tech has worked so hard at killing off the original,, open, standardised, federrated design principles of the web and sucking everyone into their closed silos.

Email is one of the original protocols in use and is still federated in theory but nearly everyone iis forced onto Google or Microsoft as there are few good alternatives.

I have hosted own email (plus calendar and contacts) for 25 years now. Not too tricky if you are IT savvy... but...

My stack (all open source):

Opensuse Linux
Postfix email server
MariaDB database
Dovecot IMAP server
Apache web server
Amavis anti-spam/anti-virus
Spamassasin spam filters
SOGo groupware

Plus good secure DNS with SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and reverse-ip for the server.

Give it a go!

Okay so, if I'm running nginx-proxy-manager that proxies back to a bunch of docker containers on one host, and also points to another instance of nginx-proxy-manager that proxies back to docker containers on a second host...

...at what point should I consider letting Kubernetes into my life?

Ich habe den Sprung geschafft.
Ich habe mir mein HomeLab verwirklicht. Zwar besteht der "Server" nur aus einem MicroPC mit wenig Wumms und mein DSL ist vmtl. Auch nicht für krasse Echtzeit-Gameserver geeignet, aber das Grundgerüst steht.
Mein erster Dienst ist FreshRSS für mein Handy und PC, der mich jetzt rund um die Uhr mit den neusten Blogeinträgen aus dem IndieWeb versorgt.

Self hosting question for the masses. Is there a mature open-source, self-hostable, alternative to Synology Cloud Sync?

synology.com/en-global/dsm/fea

I would really like to start transitioning away from Synology for home and work, but there are features in DSM that I can't seem to find replacements for.

www.synology.comSynology Inc.Centralize data storage and backup, streamline file collaboration, optimize video management, and secure network deployment to facilitate data management.

Huh. Turns out security by obscurity really *doesn't* work.

When I moved from plain Wireguard tunneling to Pangolin, I also setup the geoblock Traefik plugin (and I eventually got Crowdsec back up).

randomstringofcharacters dot rxbrad dot com (which I've never posted anywhere online) sure is blocking a lot of requests from FR, JP, & CZ right now.

I'm looking at #selfhosting a wiki to store more static, historical info, etc. I've been using Obsidian but I'd rather have hosted services so I can access them more easily. After looking around, I think I'll go with Otter Wiki. I don't need many features. It's written in Python. The data is stored in a git repository. It's under active development.

I almost *actually posted something* to my blog. I had a lengthy guide written-up on how to use Wireguard to tunnel through CGNAT.

Then my Oracle Cloud account broke. And my tunnel broke. It's hard to document stuff you can't access.

And then I discovered #Pangolin.

Deleted the guide from my Drafts.

Just use Pangolin. 😀

Well, those drastic measures I took of bringing down my media cache setting to one day and unfollowing a lot of good accounts has got me back in the green. So I'll wait for that to be stable and predictable and go from there.

Screenshot from a Masto.Host control panel showing my mastodon site running. Database is using 4% space, 0.2 GB / 5 GB. Media cache is now in the green at 27.77 GB / 50 GB usage.

I think it's time to replace the two IBM System x3550 M3 in my #basementrack. They are getting old and kind of unreliable. Rebooting takes ages, and quite frankly the NAS I build is doing a better job.
But what to replace them with? Building something myself again, or are there good options out there that don't break the bank? Should of course be rackable again.

Welp. Went into my Oracle Cloud account to do my periodic apt update / apt upgrade. Rebooted because it wanted to use the new kernel.

And then my instance died. Three hours of rebooting, and it's just stuck "Stopping".

I guess that was the universe telling me to do that transition to RackNerd + #Pangolin for my CGNAT tunneling. (Spoiler: It works great.)

Bruh!! Spent like 45 minutes trying to remember the 37 different steps to get a vlan, dhcp stuff, and its interface on a mikrotik router. Just to fuck up the vlan on the device I was trying to manage. Now I gotta do that shit again with yet another vlan!! Mikrotik makes great hardware. Their software is wild!!
