Even with all of their faults, Unifi gear has been very easy to manage for me. Now I'm eyeing their new 2u UPS and UNAS Pro. My current UPS is dying and isn't rack mounted, and my current NAS is a bit janky and is also not rack mounted.
The eternal problem rears its ugly head here again though: $$$
:(

Really interesting to see how other people in the community approach self-hosting!
Yikes. #ZFS sees no issues yet, but the array suddenly thinks that drive 4 in my media server is failing. Replacement ordered after SMART data examined. #selfhosting
I wonder if part of my problem is slow storage. I threw an old mechanical HDD in this machine to run masto on, and the journalctl output for sidekiq is super slow
In 2026 #Transip gaat wederom de prijzen verhogen.
Inmiddels vind ik met name (👀 😉) de domeinnamen prijzen niet meer in relatie staan tot de dienstverlening.
Voor een VPS en opslag kijk ik nu naar #Hetzner in Duitsland, maar ik twijfel nog over domeinnamen.
Op deze grijze druilerige woensdag vraagt de babbelbox zich af:
Waar registreer & host jij je domein namen en DNS eigenlijk?

Alright #selfhosting fediverse, what is your favorite Software Forge + CI/CD? I haven't done much research, but it seems like Forgejo and Concourse are very popular and worth considering.
I need something fairly minimal, but robust and uncomplicated from an admin perspective (GitLab is out, nothing but painful experiences in the past). I also will need to have it publicly accessible, which means a strong security track record is important.

Decided to post a quick writeup of my hacky workaround for custom #linux distros on Oracle free tier. I don't trust em, but I'll happily take their free compute.
Für mein nächstes Hardwareprojekt, werd ich wohl auch mal in die Welt von Raspberry Pi eintauchen.
Einmal für NAS/Mediaserver mit Jellyfin und einmal als Pi-Hole.
Sollte wohl beides auf einem Gerät machbar sein. Wobei ich wahrscheinlich für HDDs einen Festplattenhub mit eigener Stromversorgung brauche. 🤔
Aber alles in allem günstiger als eine NAS Komplettlösung mit proprietärer Software.

My P1P in the basement is now controlled by AI. This works crazily good.
On print start it checks when the first layer is done, pauses the printer, checks the image. If all is good, print is resumed and checked at increasing intervals.
On any fails, 2 more checks are done after each 2 minutes. If I get three strikes (6 min failed print time) the print is paused and I get a message.
If print behaves again (false positive) we back up with the check gradually after.
So far it stopped 2 prints that went over night, and both truly failed.
There is a great ecosystem of apps and programs to work with your own music collection. In some instances the functionality is better than even mainstream services, they just do what they say on the tin!

@markpitblado I am #selfhosting #navidrome on my home server running #FreeBSD in a #bastilleBSD jail. It is amazing and makes fun ;). It even works on my mobile phone with the ultrasonic app under android. I am connecting it remotely with #tailscale. Better than Spotify ;)

For Self-Hosting Saturday this week I am attempting to vibe-code a comprehensive backup system for my homelab services because I figure the bespoke Python scripts are not sustainable. Claude and I have come up with a Autorestic + Ntfy + Healthchecks.io solution. I don't expect to finish tonight but we'll see how this goes.
Discovered the self-hosted todo app Tududi and I must say that first impression is... not bad, not bad at all.
It's clean, intuitive, has multi-user support and many other neat features.
I liked the idea of a simple capture without tying the "captured thing" as a task but just... here's a thought you had, what would you like to do about it?
Kinda like this Inbox of things you thought of.

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!
BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.
You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.
This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!
This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!
