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.

Now averaging 38.6 tps on the Quad P100 on DDR3 rig running Strata (strata-swift-iq3_xxs). Amazing for a thousand October 2026 bucks. #strata #llm #qwen #local #selfhosted #selfhosting #homelab

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.

Buying hard drives is crazy expensive, but I need more and more storage for my homelab. Having a 3-2-1 backup is my current goal.

Any help or advice from more experienced people is greatly appreciated.

I love getting #TheOnion in print, but this time they’ve gone too far. I don’t know how they broke into my basement but I did not give them permission to use photos of my stuff in their mock ads.

Photo of a printed coupon in the onion. It pretends to be from Best Buy and shows a big cardboard box full of random computer cords like USB and power cables. The coupon says “good for one free pull from the Tub O’ Cords”

Thanks to everyone’s feedback I’m currently testing bunny.net with my fname.ca domain.

Onboarding wasn’t super-difficult, there were a few differences with terminology but overall it was fairly intuitive. They offer a 14-day trial that doesn’t require a credit card, so I’m hoping to get a feel for traffic/cost in that time.

Solar LLM server V2 is coming along. There is still a lot to do, but I'm at the point I can run a basic Strata test.

EDIT: 28 tokens per second achieved with Strata's QWEN 3.8 120b model.

Remaining to do:
-The 4x 500GB Velociraptor HDDS land today, so I can replace this single with that RAID0 array to speed up load times.
-Tend to the GPU power delivery cables, clean them up.
-Install the custom GPU cooling system speed controller and high velocity fans.
-Install the rest of the software stack - Hermes Agent, Unsloth, Netbird, etc.
-Stress test it, measure performance and power, tune the software stack.
-Let r rip!

This photograph shows an open-air computer server or mining rig built on a black metal frame resting on a wooden surface. Inside the rig, a Topower power supply unit sits prominently on the left with a glowing green "Power Good" indicator light, connected by a tangle of black power cables. Several graphics cards equipped with PCIe riser cards and black shrouds are installed vertically in the center. A large, white ring-styled cooling fan is actively spinning on top of the components, while two additional black case fans are mounted on the front right side of the frame. In the background, a beige computer monitor displays terminal text, accompanied by matching vintage beige desktop speakers.

This screenshot displays an nvidia-smi terminal utility output monitoring four NVIDIA Tesla P100-PCIE-16GB graphics processing units running Driver Version 580.178.04 and CUDA Version 13.0. The top section lists the status of four GPUs (labeled 0 through 3). Each GPU is operating at Performance State P0, with power draws ranging from 54W to 98W out of a 250W cap, and memory usage hovering between 13,951 MiB and 15,269 MiB out of the 16,384 MiB total. GPU utilization percentages are shown between 20% and 28%, with temperatures ranging from 59°C to 74°C. The bottom table outlines the active processes, showing process ID 4299 executing an application path (...e/Strata/engine-cuda12/strata) across all four GPUs simultaneously, consuming between 13,856 MiB and 15,174 MiB of dedicated GPU memory per device.

New blog by me:

I'm running Proxmox Backup Server using Backblaze B2 (an S3 compatible object storage service) for storing backups. This does work fine, but my scheduled verification (I verify once a week) regularly fails on some backups due to what appears to be transient issues with the B2 API.

I’ve made a script to re-verify these as needed and thought I'd share:

I’m really enjoying my #Forgejo instance these days: near enough 100% uptime, super fast response times. Reliable CI/CD via Actions.

Everything just works. All the time. Amazing!

**NEBUVERSE – Mein eigenes Stück Fediverse**

Darin geht’s um meine eigene kleine GoToSocial-Instanz auf Worldnode:

Warum ich sie gebaut habe, wie ich GoToSocial ohne Docker auf Debian 13 eingerichtet habe, wie WebFinger, Relays und nginx zusammenspielen – und wie ich Speicherverbrauch, Backups und Restore-Tests gelöst habe.

Kein „Selfhosting ist Magie“-Gelaber, sondern mein echter Aufbau mit echten Messwerten und den Dingen, über die man beim Basteln wirklich stolpert.

Collage-Grafik zum Blogartikel über NEBUVERSE. Groß im Bild steht „NEBUVERSE – Mein eigenes Stück Fediverse“. Daneben sind mehrere echte Screenshots der selbst gehosteten GoToSocial-Instanz zu sehen: das öffentliche Profil, die Einstellungen, die Speicher-Telemetrie und die Instanz-Startseite. Unten stehen die Hinweise „realer Aufbau“, „getestete Backups“ und „echte Metriken“. Das Design ist dunkelblau mit technischen UI-Elementen.

If #bigtech is permitted to self regulate #AI it will become a #surveillance tool for the govt.

It will be everywhere, whether you see it or not.

The next step will be controlling who can run AI, they want THEIR AI in every device. That will mean no #selfhosting or private AI.

Medical scanners, vehicles, traffic lights, vending machines, anything that processes data will have their eyes in it.

This is why they want you to hate it. Would they give you the venom to spit otherwise? Rogue AI? BS

Ich betreibe RollenspielMonster neben Job und Alltag. Ich speichere nur das Nötigste: Nutzername und E-Mail-Adresse. Mehr nicht.

Heute kam ein Löschantrag. Er war ein vorformulierter Paragrafen-Marathon mit Art. 17, Art. 12, Art. 19, Fristsetzung und der Androhung von Beschwerde und „rechtlichen Schritten“. Ohne Nutzernamen und ohne Namen, nur mit einer Alias-Adresse.

Eine kurze Nachricht wie „Hey, bitte lösch mein Konto“ hätte gereicht. Das hätte ich in zwei Minuten und mit einem Lächeln erledigt.

Verstehen mich nicht falsch: Das Recht auf Löschung ist wichtig und gut so. Aber nicht jede Anfrage muss wie ein Rechtsstreit klingen. Vor allem nicht bei ehrenamtlichen Projekten, die ohnehin das Beste aus ihren Möglichkeiten machen.

Mein Appell: Fragt erst freundlich. Wenn das nicht klappt, ist die DSGVO immer noch da.

New open-source tool: DnsAutoSwitch, a Windows service in F# (.NET 10) for AdGuard Home / Pi-hole users whose DNS box isn't always on.

Windows doesn't fail over between DNS servers deterministically, so a secondary DNS bypasses your filter. DnsAutoSwitch keeps one DNS server and switches it: primary while it answers, router when it doesn't. Hold/pause files, logs. MIT, release zip, no runtime needed.

Rephrasing an old joke about count of matches in the box: Dear PES, I'm watching the voltage in your power grid every 5 minutes. It always differs: 224.4V, 228.8V, 226V, etc. Are you crazy there?!

P.S. Original joke: Dear Cherepovezky matchbox factory, I count matches in your boxes every time and every time it differs — sometime there are 330 matches in the box, sometime there are 328 matches, and sometime there are 333 matches. Are you crazy?
