Ich bin nicht aus Prinzip von Windows weg. Mein Wohnzimmer hieß Windows 11, und der Vermieter stellte dauernd Möbel rein, die ich nicht bestellt hatte: Copilot, OneDrive, Widgets, Bloatware. Also Pop!_OS auf eine zweite Platte, Dual Boot als Sicherheitsleine. Nach ein paar Wochen frage ich mich ernsthaft, wie ich Windows jahrelang ausgehalten habe. Welche Distro habt ihr – und warum? #Linux #OpenSource #Fediverse #Selfhosting

**frantically F5ing on several Github issues at the same time**

Oh boy, I do hope Github does not go down before we can get all these docker images merged and published.

#PHP #selfhosting #docker

According to this...

for c in $(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'); do docker exec "$c" sh -c 'ls /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^php"' 2>/dev/null && echo "$c"; done

Looks like #FreshRSS is the only public-facing thing I'm hosting with #PHP in it. (?)

Putting it to sleep and making it local-only until a patch drops.

Expose only share links of a private service with caddy

In this blog post, you will learn how to use caddy to expose only the share links of a service reachable over a VPN, and reduce its attack surface

Well, that’s my job. But if you went into the #selfhosting trap, it's your job, unpaid and urgent because "h4x0r ante portas" 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh Baby, you are so "independent"!

Bad thing about self hosting: patching services with security problems

Good thing: being able to just shut them until the mess is sorted

#PHP #CVE #sysadmin #selfhosting

Selfhosting Bubble what would you say: how crutical is phpocalypse really? Should we shut down everything fi we are not ready to patch at 14:00 UTC or is there more hype than danger?
#phpocalypse #php #selfhosting

🚨 A heads-up for anyone running #WordPress, #Moodle, #Nextcloud or other PHP-based services.

PHP has confirmed two critical vulnerabilities, both rated 9.2/10. Fixes are scheduled for today, 21 October, at 14:00 UTC.

Prepare to patch PHP, not just your applications. CERT-EU advises considering temporary isolation of public-facing services if prompt patching isn't possible.

It sounds pretty bad. Affected versions are not yet confirmed but I've heard 5.4+

Happy to meet you all!

Thunderstorms are becoming more frequent where I live, and a UPS has gone from being merely recommended to absolutely essential for my home server.

I had a cheap one just to get by, but I bought a mid-range model that I can manage using NUT. This shouldn’t have taken me more than half an hour, but I ended up going to bed at 2 a.m. yesterday because I couldn’t figure out how to configure it to shut down after a few minutes of a power outage.

Anyway, I’ve learned a lot, and I still have a lot to learn in this field.

Log and info about my UPS connected by USB to my homeserver

@alejandrobdn The "after a few minutes on battery" part lives in upssched, not upsmon. Make upssched your NOTIFYCMD, add EXEC to NOTIFYFLAG ONBATT and ONLINE, and put CMDSCRIPT, PIPEFN and LOCKFN at the top of upssched.conf, then
AT ONBATT * START-TIMER onbatt 300
AT ONLINE * CANCEL-TIMER onbatt
The script runs upsmon -c fsd when it fires. Test it once in a planned window.

Also thinking about what to do in the medium- to long term. Continue with Proxmox? Switch to a bare-metal OS install, since I was mostly using a single VM + Docker for everything anyway, and get a HomeAssistant Green for my HA to keep it on separate hardware from the home server? Get two or three cheaper individual machines, connect them into a k8s cluster, host applications on that? Everything has its advantages and drawbacks. #selfhosting

Also shows the risk of #selfhosting - all my services are gone for the moment. Good: I have backups of the proxmox VMs. Bad: The proxmox cluster doesn’t have a quorum anymore, so I can’t start them on the remaining machine 🙃. May have to drop an old Pi into the cluster to get back to quorum so I can do stuff again until I the machine gets repaired or replaced.

Hi , my name is Mark.

I'm a retired Englishman living in #France , married to @theMLW

I've been tinkering on the #fediverse since it started as #Laconica.

I run https://www.ttrss.info and https://indieweb-hosting.com

I've spent the last decade #cycling in a #velomobile but prefer #walking now.

I guess I'm gonna end up with #unbound and cronjobs updating blocklists.

Click on random stuff on the Bandcamp player, grab the URL of any label/artist that sounds good and then feed the batch to bcdl and it will grab anything that's free to grab. Insta music collection in your preferred format, unzipped and deposited where you wish.

Bandcamp always been a pain for me to navigate, this feels a much better way to explore and try new music.

How much of YOUR data is on a computer that you do not own?

Me: None of it.

Russians understand this, thanks to Ukraine (slava!). Do YOU?

#selfhosted #selfhosting #cloud #data #security #infosec #ai

Alt...

Never trust a computer that you don't own. The "cloud" is a network of computers you don't own. * Data in the cloud is being used to train Al * Hackers can get it * The corporation running it can wipe whatever they want * Fascists could easily ban any commercial server or service * Media just... disappears...like on YouTube or streaming services. So download everything. Buy hard drives and hoard as you go. Mirror that data once or twice. Store a copy powered off and unplugged. Burn the super important stuff to archival grade M- DISCs. Run AirSonic or something open source to permit remote access of your media.

Wargh ... one big session to migrate all my docker services from my Synology 718+ to my custom TrueNAS box ...

Followed advice from a few folks ( @technotim mainly) but now think I have all my major services set up and accessible via a Caddy reverse proxy (this still need some work) with SSL certs from LetsEncrypt...

Permissions were a bit of a nightmare but things appear to be all working now.

Session number two tonight... digging out all the edge cases that I'd forgotten...
NUT server, Home Assistant backup share, Home Assistant integration, network card link aggregation, some docker tweaks, configuration backup, encrypted data backup to cloud services... only thing left to do is migrate my wife's PC and laptop from Synology Drive to Syncthing and I'm done.

Tor Guard Relay v2.2.0 is out! 🧅🐋

A server is replaceable. Recovering the same relay identity needs a plan.

This update focuses on clearer diagnostics, safer updates and encrypted recovery, so running a relay means more than watching a container stay green.

What's new:
🛡️ Tor 0.4.9.14 or newer required in both variants
🩺 Current-run health, readiness and doctor diagnostics
🔐 Verified encrypted backups and staged offline recovery
🛠️ Validated configuration changes and safer reloads
📦 AMD64 + ARM64 images published from the exact candidates that passed validation
🔄 Reviewed dependency updates and ongoing security audits

The write-up also covers the rebuild improvements, protected registry cleanup and real deployment screenshots.

⚠️ Upgrading? Read the upgrade guidance first. Legacy plaintext backup helpers are retired.

🔗 https://brokenbot.net/v2.2.0

Already running it? I'd love feedback on the diagnostics and backup workflow. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome 🐛💡

Protecting privacy, one relay at a time ✨

My bodged together personal data center draws 1.3kW continuous, higher when computing. It has 15kWh battery storage backup (+ a lot more if I switch on the house microgrid during an outage). The heat pump water heater nearby recycles the waste heat into hot water 😆

EDIT: There are 3 servers missing from this photo as they're placed elsewhere: 1 off-site air-gapped backup mirror, 1 onsite air-gapped mirror, and 1 onsite public data archive.

100% solar powered. No cloud needed. Oh and all of this is DDR3 platforms!! #selfhosted #selfhosting #homelab

A digital flow diagram on a dark background illustrating a solar and energy management system with green neon status indicators and power readings. At the top-left, a solar panel icon shows an output of 0.1 kW feeding into a vertical charge controller. A green line branches downward to a battery icon displaying a voltage reading of 53.9 V and receiving 0.1 kW. The power line continues horizontally, showing 0.2 kW flowing into a central inverter unit. From this central inverter, a vertical line extends upward to a house icon representing home energy consumption, labeled with a load reading of 1.3 kW. Simultaneously, a horizontal line connects the inverter to an electrical grid pylon icon on the far right, which indicates a grid input reading of 1.4 kW supplying the remaining power required by the home load.

A photo of a multi-tier wire shelving setup filled with computer hardware, network gear, and storage devices. On the top-left shelf sits a grey industrial chassis labeled "ADVANTECH INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER 510" next to a small black mini PC. Below it, a black Cooler Master computer case is surrounded by a white cylindrical mesh device, an mtvSolar unit, a Linksys router, and multiple external drives, with a dense tangle of Ethernet, power, and data cables trailing downward. Along the bottom shelf, eight black external hard drives are lined up, each labeled with white tape indicating capacity and ID. To the right, another wire rack holds an open-air server assembly equipped with multiple black cooling fans mounted above components. Below this open-air unit sit stacked cardboard Bankers Boxes with handwritten red labels including "AC Adapters" and "Main Street stor.a.way," alongside loose PC hardware and an exposed CRT tube setup.

A close-up, high-angle shot shows a custom-built, open-air computer server resting on a wooden tabletop surface. The rig is constructed inside a black metal frame containing multiple high-performance hardware components. At the top rear, four thick, black NVIDIA GPU graphics cards are aligned parallel to each other, each featuring a prominent bright lime green accent bar running along its top edge with green NVIDIA branding. Below the graphics processing units in the center, a vertical stack of four Western Digital Velociraptor hard drives is secured with blue mounting brackets. The top drive label displays the Western Digital brand logo along with technical specifications and barcodes. Attached to the right side of the frame are large black cooling fans. A power supply unit labeled "PowerBird 1100W" is mounted at the bottom front. Various power cables, wiring harnesses, zip-ties, and display cables extend from the open frame and spread across the light brown wooden table, with a CRT displaying a terminal visible in the background.
