Hej wszystkim! Chyba czas na małe #introduction.

Co prawda jestem już z Wami od jakiegoś czasu, jednak po drodze zaliczyłem kilka przeprowadzek - dokładnie trzy, z czego wszystkie pomiędzy własnymi instancjami 🙃 (obecnie Akkoma). Przez ten czas trochę się zmieniło, dlatego pomyślałem, że warto odświeżyć swój wizerunek i przedstawić się ponownie.

Nie będzie chyba zaskoczeniem jeśli napiszę, że lwia część mojej aktywności na fedi ma związek z tematami prywatności i bezpieczeństwa w cyfrowym świecie.

Hobbystycznie bawię się w #selfhosting, czyli staram się hostować samodzielnie co tylko mogę i na ile mi wystarcza na to czasu.

Jestem “adwokatem” #opensource, używam otwartych rozwiązań gdzie tylko mogę. Właściwie to na każdym urządzeniu, które posiadam w domu (szczegóły w profilu). Lubię eksperymentować ze wszystkim, pod co mogę się podpiąć i znam znaczenie słowa backup 😉

Od niedawna prowadzę swojego bloga w tematyce selfhostingu i nie tylko: brtk.eu

Poza tym od nieco dłuższego czasu prowadzę także innego bloga poświęconego ogólnie tematyce wolności i prywatności w sieci: wolnoscwkieszeni.pl

Moim największym wrogiem jest czas, a raczej jego deficyt, ale w miarę możliwości wracam zarówno na fedi jak i na swoje blogi.

W wolnych chwilach jak już uda mi się odkleić od ekranu, wciąga mnie dobra lektura. Poza tym lubię sporty zarówno zimowe jak i letnie, czyli góry i jeziora o każdej porze roku, odpowiednio z buta lub na desce, wpław lub na łyżwach.

Mówiłem już, że moim wrogiem jest czas?

    Stefano Marinelli (creator of the excellent FediMeteo) is working on a new type of lightweight Fediverse server called "littleFedi".

    It's still in its early days and under development, but the first test server is now open and Stefano is gathering feedback about it. More info in the quoted post at littleone.littlefedi.social/@s and more detail at littleone.littlefedi.social/@s

    Hi everyone, I'm Stefano

    Also known as the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe barista - @stefano@bsd.cafe and @stefano@illumos.cafe

    This is the first post from littleOne (littleone.littlefedi.social), the first littleFedi instance open to outside users.

    littleFedi is a new ActivityPub server, still in active development, written in Go and shipped as a single binary. It speaks standard ActivityPub, so it federates normally with Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma and the rest of the fediverse, and it exposes a Mastodon-compatible API, so most existing apps already work with it.

    A few things about it that aren't the usual fediverse defaults:

    • Catch-up instead of an algorithm. Timelines stay chronological, full stop. There's a separate /catchup page, visited on demand, that ranks what you missed using only signals this instance already has locally - who you follow boosted it, replies and favourites delivered here, hashtags you follow. No external popularity data comes in, nothing about what you read is tracked. It answers "what did I miss" without turning into a feed that decides for you.

    • Static blogging built in. Any post can be marked as a blog post and gets published as a plain static page under /@username/blog/, with its own permalink, Atom feed, and no JavaScript or database hit per view, while still being a normal federated post underneath. A proper home for longer writing that doesn't need to compete with a timeline.

    • Self-expiring posts. Any post can be given a timer and auto-delete on its own.

    • Bubble timeline. A middle ground between local and federated: a timeline scoped to a set of instances you've chosen to group together, not just your own or everything.

    • littleMesh. A way to federate without a public domain, certificate, or open port at all - meant for something like a Raspberry Pi behind NAT. Instances get an address derived from an Ed25519 key pair and reach each other through pinned relays that never see plaintext.

    • No trends, no suggestions. These are intentionally left empty. Nothing here is trying to surface "popular" content or keep anyone scrolling longer.

    • Security defaults taken seriously. Signed federation (HTTP Signatures), optional Object Integrity Proofs, TOTP MFA, audit logs, and full account export, migration and deletion if you ever want your data to live somewhere else.

    This instance is here to test all of that with real accounts, not just a small group ones'. In the next few days I'll be reaching out to everyone who already told me they were interested, to set the first accounts up - an invite is coming. If you'd rather just follow along and see how it goes, that works too.

    It's a test instance, so expect the occasional rough edge. If something breaks or feels wrong, tell me - that's exactly what this phase is for.

        Ive been running multiple VPS'es running multiple Claude sessions.

        Ive explained my current workflow a while back but search sucks. I cant even find my own posts I did a couple months ago.

        Anyway, my CLAUDE.md has directives to;

        a) I have a folder called DOCs any time I have a problem/challenge that is resolved (I call them thesis) writes DATE_Thesis.md

        b) I also have ai_index.md which starts with a prompt to regenedate the ai_index. The index has a filename and a brief summary of existing thesis.

        The purpose of both of these files is for the model to come up to speed on the project very quickly, without grepping shit all the time.

        c) I also have file called NEW where all the ideas / bugfixes I dont have time to fix go. So in promt I just say NEW: Fix global hunger and it gets added.

        But specifically, the idea I have, clanky though it is, is to use one of my tunnels as a master /DOC repository and all the instances running Claude can write to the library of Alexandria.

        I used to do the copy/pasta thing but it drove me up the wall. Though I still do it for x-server sessions. But it irks me and I may need to fix it soon.

            Mein Sohn hat auf seinem Handy immer mehr wichtige Bilder... Google Fotos speicher Läuft über...

            Früher: Googlen wie das geht - über web Interface Durchquälerei - Frust vorprogrammiert

            Heute: eine Nachricht an mein KI Agent - der macht alles über immich API - Sendet mir ne txt mit allen nötigen Infos - Sohn richtet es ein - 5 Minuten läuft sein Backup

            Und ich "weiß" wie das umgesetzt ist:

            Technische Umsetzung der Trennung:

            Immich isoliert jeden Benutzer sowohl in der Datenbank als auch im Dateisystem komplett:

            - Dateisystem: Jeder User bekommt ein eigenes Verzeichnis nach seiner UUID. Jakobs Daten liegen unter `/mnt/immich-data/upload/upload/a5a86a77-.../`, deine unter `/mnt/immich-data/upload/upload/6f5b4988-.../`. Das gilt für alle drei Storage-Typen: Original-Uploads, Thumbnails und encoded Videos. Keine Überschneidung möglich.

            - Datenbank: Jeder Asset-Eintrag hat einen `ownerId` Foreign Key auf den User. Immich filtert bei jeder Abfrage nach dem eingeloggten User — Jakob sieht nur seine eigenen Fotos, du nur deine.

            - Backup: Das Borg-Backup sichert `/mnt/immich-data` komplett, also beide User-Bereiche.

            Aktuelle Verteilung:
            - Lars: 33.364 Assets, ~254 GB
            - Jakob: 8 Assets, ~1,7 GB
            - Disk: 332 GB von 697 GB belegt (48%)

            Alles sauber getrennt. Jakob hat seinen eigenen Bereich, kann deine Fotos nicht sehen und umgekehrt. Falls du später teilen wollt, kann Immich das über **Shared Albums** — aber das müsstet ihr aktiv anlegen.

                @nfilipes @8none1 really thanks for the interesting episode, but i would like to share my thought about the Kodi / Jellyfin topic. You are right Kodi is a configuration nightmare but comparing it to Jellyfin isnt the correct approach.
                While Kodi is a very customizable local Mediaplayer you are comparing it to Jellyfin which is a complete client server infrastructure.
                Someone who already has problems with Kodi's overwhelming settings will not manage to setup a Jellyfin server either.
                And another thing about Jellyfin: althought it is a great project we should not forget that they build up onto min. 5 years Emby development before they forked from that (which then went closed source). For quite some time there was no real evolution in terms of the server and the clients also tend to be quite bad. Thats the reason i stick with Emby till the day.

                  Tried nextcloud notes, gets about 90% there. The web UI is fine, but the mobile experience isnt great.

                  Blinko showed promise, ran it for a few weeks and found it to be a little finnicky, and no mobile app. I was using it via a web app on my phone and it turned out to be a bit flaky.

                  So now I'm trying Notesnook. Which shows a lot of promise so far.

                            homelab storage tip: smaller 2nd hand SAS drives are still fairly cheap compared to SATA stuff (e.g ~50-100 for 4tb),

                            because enterprises don't buy second hand SAS stuff (especially smaller disk) and people seem to think SAS hardware is expensive or unusable.

                            If you buy a second hand PCIE Host Bus Adapter/HBA (like an LSI or Dell Perc flashed with IT mode or alike) for like 30-50$ together with some MiniSAS to SAS cables, you'll be able to use these disks in your home server/NAS

                              also worth noting that, if you do really want SATA, or you're looking for a lot of storage in the first place, 18-20tb disks seem to be available for around 20-30eu per tb.

                              It is a larger investment (400-600 for a single disk), but technically speaking you are getting a waaaay better deal than buying a 4tb drive for 200 (50eu per tb, more than twice as much).

                                It's basically just modify the docker compose file to reference the correct forgejo version to replace gitea and bring it up. This is an internal home lab system so no 2fa/oauth or whatever to reverse engineer as part of the process.

                                  Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you.

                                  I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores.

                                  Then the surprises started.
                                  The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x.
                                  Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k.
                                  And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper.

                                  For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is.

                                  Benchmark before you migrate.

                                    Same fio and sysbench setup on both boxes, Debian 13, direct=1, libaio.

                                    Random read 4K, the workload databases actually live on:
                                    1.41M IOPS on the 2025 box against 822k on the 2027 one.

                                    RAM bandwidth: 64,038 MiB/s against 11,906. That is 5.4x.

                                    Single thread CPU: 4,504 against 4,147 events/sec. Same EPYC Genoa on paper.

                                    And here is my favorite part. The old box ran all of this while carrying my entire production: Mastodon, Postgres, Valkey, a pile of Docker containers, 17 days of uptime.

                                    The new box was empty and idle.

                                    The loaded veteran still won almost everything.

                                      Email from @OVHcloud this morning: the bandwidth on my VPS went from 400 Mbit to 1 Gbit. Same plan, same price, nothing for me to do.

                                      This is the box running dol.social. The one I benchmarked last month, on the grounds that its memory and disk beat the newer 2027 model and the network gap did not matter enough to move.

                                      The network gap is now gone too.

                                      Correction while I am here: I said 500 Mbit in that thread. It was 400. The conclusion holds, my number did not.

                                      Screenshot of an email from OVHcloud. The message says that to meet the performance needs of applications and services, the public bandwidth included in the VPS 2027 range has been increased, and that instances now benefit from up to double the throughput at no additional cost. Below is a table listing one VPS with its hostname partly greyed out, showing previous bandwidth of 400 Mbit per second and new bandwidth of 1000 Mbit per second.

                                        Full disclosure on the cost of that free upgrade.

                                        The reboot to pick it up hung at the hypervisor level and took the instance with it. Almost 15 hours of downtime, 41.91% uptime for the day, and nothing I could do from inside the box because there was no inside to get to.

                                        Worth it. But this is the part of "simple restart" that the is mentioned in email.

                                        Also a decent argument for the thing I keep saying: the box is disposable, the data is not.

This snac instance was set up in the new environment from the start and I just moved my moo (https://travellers.metro.cx) as a first experiment to lay down all the plumbing.

                                                                        I've been running Postfix for more than a decade on the primary MX, but it frankly feels overkill for a relatively simple multi-domain setup for essentially just hosting my family's email.

                                                                        I'm already running openSMTPD on on my secondary, so I've got some limited experience with it.

                                                                        Nothing against Postfix, it just feels that with my setup I'm using an 18 wheeler to transport a case of beer...

                                                                          Very easy to set up and had a nice dashboard that can tell me what is going on across a number of Docker containers. I have no reason not to pass on your recommendation to anyone who is and looking for a replacement for Watchtower.

Neat!
