does anyone know a website that has a good filter for searching PC/NAS cases?

the filter params should allow filtering for harddrive sizes and also understand combining them.
example: sometimes there is enough space for, lets say, 2x 2.5 and 2x 3.5 but when combining them the 3.5 would take space of one of the 2.5 😅 I need 2x 2.5 and min 2x 3.5

At the same time I want the physical size of the case not to exceed 230mm 🤓

I’ve been running GrapheneOS since February 3rd. After the initial setup, the first thing I noticed was a strange sense of "emptiness" — not because something was missing, but because the digital noise was gone.

Key Technical Takeaways:

- Hardware: Running this on a Pixel 10. The synergy between the hardware and a de-bloated OS is impressive.
- Compatibility: I opted for Sandboxed Google Play services. Everything works perfectly: banking apps are stable, and NFC payments function without a hitch.
- Performance: Noticeably better battery life and snappier UI response compared to stock.

The "Freedom" Factor
For me, GrapheneOS isn't just for the "anonymous" crowd; it's for enthusiasts who value agency. It’s about owning your device rather than the device owning you. Under the hood, you’re free from the hidden trackers that treat your behavior as a commodity.

Still testing, but so far, the sense of control is worth the switch.

Fellow homelabbers, if i want to selfhost a Matrix Homeserver for max. 10 people (mainly family) what homeserver software should i use? The software should run on a small VPS with 2GB Ram and 60GB Storage. Working Voice Chat is essential for the kids while gaming.

Would you go with a full blown Synapse install or would you go with something like Continuwuity, Tuwunel or something completely different?

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost/

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

Sooooo my recent mishaps with server administration are making me speed up my plans of shifting towards community-owned and -maintained hosting.

Ever since my conversation with @boris almost one year ago, I took his quote “self-hosting is selfish” as a mantra. It’s time to act accordingly.

Together with @Holly and @youjungnoh, we are putting together a group of tech-savy people who want to, respectively:

1. Learn more about system administration
2. Get their hands dirty while doing so
3. Maintain our own shared server
4. Host their own things (be them websites, projects, or services) together with comrades instead of individual infrastructure.

There are many super cool collectives that are doing this already, and we intend to draw inspiration from their work and their documentation, but we really want to do this together!

Who wants to join? Please, do reach out! I already spun up a small-ish VPS that is now hosting all my static websites. If you’d like to get involved, reach out and I would be happy to give you SSH access 🌻

We would also be very grateful if more experienced sysAds want to help us out by hosting workshops or brief classes.

We intend to meet for the first time in South Holland (but maybe virtually too) sometime during the first two weeks of March.

Next steps:

1. Find a name for this group/server/mission
2. Plan a series of (free, open) intro lessons with guests
3. Start hosting some things
4. Migrate things I am already hosting with YunoHost in our community server
5. Migrate to a physical device in a home of ours?

EDIT: I forgot to add this, but it goes without saying that ours would be a queer and transfeminist server

Looks like #synapse is moving #minio way. All that mess with the server components, versions, and lack of documentation on all of that forces me to look into an alternative. Well, they are writing docs right now, but mostly for enterprise.

I found the #tuwunel documentation very friendly. Thinking about migration.

Mein #nobigtech journey ist irgendwie vorübergehend zum Stillstand gekommen. Alle bigtech-socialmedia-Accounts sind gelöscht, meine Daten aus Onedrive auf ne #nextcloud umgezogen, mein Freundeskreis auf #signal Mein neuer #linux PC macht mich immer noch glücklich. Und nu? Warten, bis der #raspberrypi geliefert wird und ich mit #selfhosting und #pihole experimentieren kann.. Gilt das jetzt schon als "Onni hat übrigens Ahnung von Technik"?

Und hier eine weitere Frage: Wenn es um ein selfhosted NAS geht, dann ist meiner Meinung nach #TrueNAS oder #Openmediavault die erste Wahl.

Welches der beiden Systeme nutzt ihr und wieso?
Gibt es vielleicht doch Alternativen, die besser sind?

Gerne kann auch diese Frage geteilt werden. 🙃

Mein Umzug: Von anonsys.net zu friendica.tomforge.de

Hallo zusammen!

Ich verlasse anonsys.net und schlage mein Lager auf meiner eigenen Ein-Nutzer-Instanz auf. Ab sofort findet ihr mich dauerhaft hier:

📌 @thomas
friendica.tomforge.de/profile/…

Das Ganze läuft als Docker-Setup. Während die Föderation sich gerade erst so richtig einspielt, hoffe ich, dass die Kiste stabil bleibt und ich dort langfristig mein digitales Zuhause finde.

An die Admin-Community:
Da ich gerade noch mit dem Self-Hosting experimentiere: Habt ihr Tipps zur Wartung oder Performance-Optimierung von Friendica unter Docker? Wie regelt ihr eure Backups am effizientesten?

Ich freue mich über jeden, der mir an die neue Adresse folgt und vielleicht den einen oder anderen Admin-Kniff parat hat.

Man sieht sich drüben! 👋

I think the next part of my project HAS to be email. I want to start using the new identiy I am building through my domain. Does anyone know a good server to test against? #homelab #selfhosting #email

What do people use as #smtp for #email notifications for things like #trueNAS? I’d rather not self-host email specifically. Must be hosted in #Europe.

I don’t think I can set this up with @Tutanota

What new self-hosted apps have you found recently that you're really happy with?

#homelab #selfhosting #docker

Immich got really good just in the last little while. Some random geek notes/thoughts, after several hours tinkering (non-geeks, stop reading here):

As to sizing: a Pi 5 with 4GB (better yet, 8 to be safe) of RAM - and the docker container gets its own fast SSD, for storage - could do it. Forget using a Pi 4. Great for sharing albums to family and friends privately; they're password protected.

The Good News:

- I'm playing with Immich on a Raspberry Pi 5 in docker, really liking it. It took a long time to import my photos - several hours to do 10,000 photos.

- It's very nice to access from Android or iPadOS, as there are Immach apps for both.

- It does a local AI facial recognition. I'm giving names to the faces - what a trip down memory lane! That's a rather astounding feature for such an open source app: it's awesome to see pictures which involved certain individuals, all grouped. There's been a lot of controversy around facial scanning by apps lately (the data being silently sent back to the "mothership"). With Immich, the data stays local - doesn't go back to any mothership. No geek contests or says otherwise (and I would hear about it).

- The Rasberry Pi 5 on the backend can keep up nicely - to me being the one user pretty much. Its little fan whirs away, while I do the editing, etc in the app, silently in the other room on the iPad.

- I can publish web-accessible Albums online easily.

- I set up a reverse proxy on a VPS for remote access.

The Bad news:

- I had to strip out the videos, before an import. The videos just brutally crushed that Pi to the floor.

- I just tried uploading all ~300 recent photos from my iPad to Immich. About 100 failed. Many are Jpgs, should have no problem. It does have a protection against duplicates - calculates hashes. Some uploads certainly failed (from the Immich #iPadOS app), which shouldn't have! Just saying: copyparty uploads with ~100% wire speed and *does not fail*. But it doesn't have the photo management goodness which Immich has. Copyparty will do a basic slideshow of a folder of photos. Although it annoys me to say this, I think I'll have to use Copyparty to exfil the photos out of the #iPad's (walled-garden) "Photo Library", then as a second, regrettable hop, use immich-cli (the go-based docker container) to do an import to Immich. I just did a test, comparing copyparty's "up2k" uploader (just used from a web browser like Safari of Firefox), and the Immich app in iPad OS, and there's no comparison. Copyparty absolutely rips Immich away, totally destroying it for bulk upload. I just uploaded over wifi at a steady, sustained 80MB/sec with Copyparty.

Is anyone self-hosting Loops? Are there any Loops servers that are popular outside of loops[dot]video? Every time I see someone link to a Loops account, it's on loops[dot]video. I actually think Loops is a really cool idea; that's why I would really hate to see a monopoly.

Durch einen Troet von @diekehrseite, wo eine App gesucht wurde die Beiträge planen kann, bin ich auf #fediplan gestoßen. Die Planung läuft plattformunabhängig im Browser. Den Dienst kann man auch selber hosten, was für mich wieder interessant war.

Nun habe ich das Ganze mal eingerichtet und teste mal ein wenig ob es funktioniert. Dies ist also der erste geplante Beitrag von mir über fediplan, welches nun auf meinem Server läuft.

I spun up Seafile last night to replace my bloated Nextcloud setup (which I hadn't really used beyond WebDAV for Obsidian notes & Floccus bookmark syncing).

Documentation was definitely lacking. It didn't help that Google took me to their obsolete v11 instructions instead of the current v13, and I dumped an hour or two into fighting the jank around that.

Seafile seems much less bloated.

Though I wonder if I should worry that it's developed in China?

Dear EU server admins: If you at all consider a shutdown of your server, you *must* notify your users in advance.

NOT doing so actually is a breach of GDPR, as a "Personal Data Breach" includes "unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of personal data". https://gdpr-info.eu/art-32-gdpr/

I wholy support everyone wanting to selfhost, but *before* you make a *public* instance, you absolutely need to consider these type of laws and how you're going to handle them.

"It has been a bumpy ride but at least we own the car" is probably the best way to describe why #selfhosting is so important.

Time for an #introduction
My name is Forest and I’m an #SysAdmin in an international company by day and a #gamer by night.
I have lots of hobbies like #retrogaming , #retrocomputing , #gameing and #photography
I really enjoy listening to hard #rock or #metal
My style is #gothic
I will post about everything of the above
And of course I’m #selfhosting an instant of Mastadon and matrix (I’m thinking about expanding to peertube but I have to solve my storage problem first)
Thanks for reading!

Can someone recommend a good self-hosted solution for easy file sharing, like DropBox? Here are my requirements:

* Unique randomized URL per file.
* Secured with password (auth not required).
* Burn after reading (file and URL are destroyed after download)

If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.

To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.

Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.

This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.

There was a bit of downtime, but mostly went well.

#selfhosting #sysadmin

The good thing is I can run a #VM in #Unraid so even when I'm not using a #Linux machine, I still have a Linux machine 😎 #selfhosting

I'm "in it" now, so I'm not going back. But transitioning from just Docker-in-Debian to everything-in-Proxmox is not without its drawbacks.

There's this new element of chasing down bottlenecks & trying to figure out how to address them.

VMs take ownership of stuff in ways that make sharing with other VMs/LXCs challenging.

Attaching storage to VMs vs LXCs have their own unique intricacies that it's taking me awhile to wrap my head around. Throw in USB3 HDD enclosures and it's extra-fun.

But, I'm getting there...
