    This is a good guide and explanation. I also think it is great that Tom covers CrowdSec at the end, which I would like to try out soon.

        GoToSocial, PeerTube, Lemmy, Matrix, a Bluesky PDS and Nostr on one 8-core VPS. How I tamed Pixelfed's Horizon (79% to 16% of its memory limit), cut Celery workers, capped every container and then loosened the limits that were starving the apps.

              A VPS, two IPs with different gateways, and two users + admin. Each user should get its own IP (and IPv6 ideally). Outgoing IP matching incoming matters (so I can't receive traffic from two different IPs but respond from one).

                  With 2026.11 on the horizon, I thought I’d audit my configuration for stale entity references ahead of the changes to entity naming.

                  Rather conveniently, it turned up three references that hadn’t survived some earlier device renaming. A little Python, a few YAML edits, and a clean configuration check later, all sorted.

                  Always nice to discover your configuration is squiffy before some breaks.

                    If, hypothetically, I wanted to self-host e-mail on a VPS, is it possible to set it up so that the mails are end-to-end encrypted in a way that the company who operates the VPS cannot read them? That is: the mails arrive at the serve encrypted, are stored on the server encrypted, and leave the server still encrypted. I assume this is what services like Proton (claim to) do, so presumably it *is* possible? But what's actually involved in that?

So I'd like to use wireguard vpn and go through my vps to my home network. Unfortunately wireguard does not work on some networks outside of my home. Network is dropping after handshake udp packets (maybe caused by deep packet inspection, I am not sure, random udp packets sending to public ip have been sent without problem). I've already tried different port, decreased the mtu, but still wg packets are dropping. do you know solution how could i hide wireguard comunnication to avoid dropping packest and the solution will also work on iphone? Id like to keep wireguard, vps is openbsd...☺️🚀

                                    I recently discovered the My Media skill for Amazon Alexa. I had been looking for something like this ever since Plex discontinued their Plex skill.

                                    My Media installs on your local home server or a dedicated PC. It has a web interface for adding music/watch folders and creating playlists.

                                    I created a "Favorites" playlist and added an Alexa routine for "Play My Favorite Songs." It then silently asks, "Ask My Media to play my Favorites playlist." It auto-shuffles and starts playing music on the device you speak to.

                                    I then used the piggyback technique to get it to play music on multiple Echo devices across the "Everywhere" group. To do this, create a routine called "Play Music Everywhere." This plays music from Amazon Music everywhere, waits 5 seconds, and then asks My Media to play my Favorites playlist. Essentially, it hijacks the "play everywhere" feature with your My Media music.

                                    This has been working great so far, and I have since created playlists and routines for various genres. I even added a "White Noise" playlist ("Alexa, play white noise") for sleeping.

                                    My Media has a 7-day free trial but only costs $9.50/year if you decide to continue using it.

                                    I can now play music everywhere, skip songs, and change genres all with voice commands.

                                          Who would have ever thought that Proton CEO Andy Yen is such a huge asshole? And as if that weren’t enough, he’s also completely fallen prey to AI psychosis.

                                          As far as I’m concerned, I’m done with Proton effective immediately: I canceled my premium subscription and spent the last two days migrating all my accounts and contact addresses to Tuta. They’re also using AI now, but at least not as aggressively or toxically as Proton.

                                          But for now, this is just a temporary solution. The ultimate goal remains a self-hosted mail server.
