    Neuer Blog-Artikel

    podman kennt keine Upgrade-Funktion wie docker? Brauchen wir auch nicht.

    Im neuen howto machen wir aus einem pod einen sauberen systemd-service: startet beim booten, hält sich per auto-update selbst aktuell und rollt bei einem kaputten Image automatisch zurück.

    Und alles rootless.

      Ich hab's auf Platte! - Schallplatten digitalisieren und streamen mit #Navidrome

      Spotify? Brauch ich nicht mehr. Ich hab's auf Platte – und trotzdem immer in der Tasche.

      In diesem Video zeige ich dir, wie ich meine Schallplatten digitalisiere und mit Navidrome auf meinem eigenen Server hoste. Mein persönliches Spotify – nur mit meiner handverlesenen Vinyl-Sammlung, in HIFI-Qualität und ganz ohne Abo, Algorithmus und KI-Slop.

      Das Motto: TIME TO PICK A SIDE.
      Ich höre wieder ganze Plattenseiten statt geshuffelte Einzelsongs.
      Kein Skippen, kein Spulen, kein Berieseln – dafür bewusster Musikgenuss und volle Hoheit über meine eigene Sammlung.

      🎬 Kapitel:
      00:00 - Intro
      00:54 - Eine Passion für Schallplatten
      02:41 - Die Idee: Digitalisierung
      04:10 - How to Aufnehmen
      06:49 - (nicht viel) Feinschliff
      09:16 - DAS MOTTO - TIME to pick a SIDE !
      11:52 - Go Host Yourself - Navidrome
      13:20 - Die beste App: Symfonium vs. SubStreamer vs. Castafiore
      15:53 - Fazit: So muss Musik heute!

          Found this useful tool called Hister. Basically your search history with better capabilities. I often will stumble across something, forget to save it and recalling it is a hit-or-miss if i can remember the title of the page I am thinking of. This makes it easier. It makes a local copy of the text and adds better search capabilities to sites you have visited in the past.

          Forgot what Grim Dawn build I was working on. Searched for it and found it from my browsing history.

                      IPv6 isn't "the future of the internet." It's the internet. IPv4 is the relic we keep alive on NAT life support.

                      A laid-back tour through the basics: how the addresses are built, the two rules for crushing out the zeros, a /64 per subnet so you stop counting hosts, SLAAC, and why blocking ICMPv6 is a self-inflicted wound.

                      And no, dual-stack isn't a destination. It's a burden.

                                                  HOLY CRAP... a RAID (albeit a faux 'SnapRAID') just saved my files! AND it did it in minutes!

                                                  I have NEVER had a RAID give me anything but grief. EVER

                                                  I mean in 30 years of running RAIDs, I've never had anything but dead controllers and week long rebuilds that failed!

                                                  I love you SnapRAID!

                                                      Hachja, der T-Online MX ... "Bad reputation" weil wir uns noch nicht kennen, alle meine Mails werden kategorisch abgelehnt.. weil...
                                                      Weil ist halt so. Die T-Online möchte anscheinend eine handverlesene Liste an Servern, von denen sie Mails aktzeptiert....
                                                      Und ohne Impressum, machen die erst recht nix...
                                                      Wieso muss ich mich aktiv von t-online irgendwo auf eine Liste setzen lassen, dass ich legitimer Mailzusteller mit meinem Server bin?

                                                        Epic Geek rant [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                                                        @labellaragassa I have a rant here that probably will become a blog post.

                                                        Look, virtually everyone has been babied into not needing to care about a whole bunch of technological things that are actually quite tough to self-host manage oneself, longer term

                                                        IP addresses? They're not a solution, they're a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. ? It's not a solution, it's a framework. Do you see a pattern here?

                                                        99% of the people who use the internet (not including the cool people of here) have been spoiled absolutely fucking rotten with highly-convenient *solutions*. Facebook is a *solution*, WhatsApp is a *solution*, Instagram is a *solution*, Tiktok is a *solution*, etc. etc. Again, do you see a pattern here? People become spoiled once they become accustomed to a certain level of convenience. You know the famous album name "Give me convenience, or give me death" (Dead Kennedys)? Well, that's about the size of it.

                                                        Alas, what you need are a small army of seasoned network and security architects - who command high salaries these days - who all get along and work together. You know, have actual Computer Science degrees, and are not narcissistic asshole businessmen.

                                                        All of a sudden (who could have guessed?) people come along and want *solutions* (not frameworks) in replacement to all the big tech Social media, which idealistically respects their . You and what big payrolls to get it, oh spoiled-rotten hoardes of disenchanted carnival-goers?

                                                        All along the Goose of DataSovereignty was not valued, and all of a sudden that has value. Yes, it's going to be a rude awakening, for those spoiled brats with their excruciatingly convenient fondleslabs
