ИБП на моих домашних серверочках стал слишком уж быстро сдаваться. Похоже, что акум за 3 года подустал. Сегодня замена и переезд ИБП существенно ниже, так как под потолком он грелся неимоверно, что и снизило срок службы батарейки.

Замена на 9А/ч, сзади приложил бумажку чтобы нарисовать где сверлить отверстия под крепление к стене, вешаем на все 4 крепежа (вот не лень то было) и запуск. Если вы это читаете, значит запуск прошёл успешно. 🙂

Небольшой плюсик к стабильности…

I’m this close to releasing my first #iOS app. It will have a backend you can #selfhost.

Since my home server not intended for use by any people outside of my city (plus some VPN endpoints in other countries) — it is ok to ban some unwanted countries and cities from which I don't expect anything good, except attempts to hack my box to use my resources or set me up .

So I added some GeoIP blocking to the npf with script to update GeoIP list — I blocked China, Iran, North Korea, etc and Moscow (because there are a lot of government and commercial backed bots coming from here). Results are good — the bots don't disappeared completely but the speed of adding new IPs to the blacklist is decreased

Sadly, I was unable to add USA and UK to the list, because looks like there are some limits (not found how to increase them ), which disallows to load a lot of CIDRs for these countries to the blacklist.

Graph of the count of banned IPs per week. There are two red tangents on the two points — before and after the GeoIP bans were enabled. And the two red lines, parallel to the X axis. The resulting derivatives are 0.59 and 0.38, so the speed of raising the values (count of blocked bots) are decreased.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux.

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

#snac is a pretty cool #fediverse #activitypub server software!

Super lightweight, no database, easy to set-up.

I will not replace my main #mastodon instance with it, but i really have some other use cases for it, for example some bots or so.

And from what I saw, the code also is pretty nice to learn things from it. (me, a c programming noob)

Edit: Totally dumb of me to NOT post the Git repo in the first place 🤦‍♂️

Hey all! Just a heads up that I've got some fun self-hosting app videos coming soon, but they're going to take some time to get through.

In the meantime, I'll be releasing homelab hardware videos. I hope you'll check them out!

Thanks for your patience!

@dbtechyt Looking forward to the new videos, as I'm getting into #SelfHosting more.

Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

OK #selfhosting and #linux and other friends here's one for you. My wife's work has Google Drive subscription. My wife wants her own historical archives of her drives so if people delete or damage files they can roll back to a week ago or whatever. we tried this with #rclone but shes got terabyte drives with hundreds of thousands of files in folder hierarchies (biology data from decades of students).

Onko täällä muita #immich käyttäjiä? Immichin konteksti haku on kyllä uskomaton. Jos hakukenttään kirjoittaa vaikka ”sininen auto nurmikolla”, löytää se kuvakirjastosta kaikki kuvat, jossa näkyy sininen auto nurmikolla. Se on kyllä erittäin kätevä ja tulee käytettyä usein, kun pitää löytää joku tietty kuva, jonka muistan joskus ottaneeni.

Mutta haku pitää tehdä englanniksi, jotta se toimii oikein. Onko joku löytänyt jonkun hyvän koneoppimismallin (ML model), joka toimisi myös suomeksi? Huggingfacessa on kyllä joitakin #multilingual malleja. Jotain niistä kokeilin, mutta ei sekään toiminut suomeksi sen paremmin. Eikä jaksaisi testata niitä kaikkia, kun mallin vaihtamisessa kestää päiviä, kun pitää käsitellä uudelleen kaikki kymmenet tuhannet kuvat kirjastossa. Mun kotiserverissä ei siis ole tarpeeksi potkua tällaiseen testaamiseen.

Mutta jos joku muu olisi löytänyt jonkun mallin joka osaa myös suomea, niin olisin kiinnostunut kuulemaan kokemuksia ja vinkkejä. Ja jos löytyy joku takulla suomea osaava malli, niin sitten voin kyllä laittaa serverin pariksi päiväksi ruksuttamaan ja käymään läpi kuvakirjastoa uudella mallilla.

Finally got my mastodon instance setup after about half a day of tinkering and trying to fix dozens of issues I kept running into. Hopefully it will be worth it!

I never used a platform like twitter or bluesky so I'm not sure how much I will end up using it. So far just hoping to use it as a mini personal blog.

I usually tend to enjoy setting up servers rather than actually using them, but lets see where this goes!

#selfhosted #selfhosting

I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.

I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.

Like most people probably reading this, #IndieWeb is a topic I'm interested in. Portability and identity ownership matter way more than just self-hosting.

Also, I have thoughts on why #Mastodon isn't quite there yet compared to the "gold standard" of email.

Its a 2026... This is the apparent state of backup tools;

👉Good CLI, no GUI: restic, borg, rclone

👉GUI but enterprise hell: Veeam, Commvault

👉 GUI but abandonware: Déjà Dup, Back In Time

Yesterday my website running on my tiny VPS was discovered by terrible Chinese crawlers. They come from random IPs, use headless browsers to visit one page at a time, very rapidly. So I had to get it on #Cloudflare proxy and turn on Cloudflare verification. Sigh.

I guess I never really thought about the mid to long term lifecycle of the devices I installed for #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant, so this is a good reminder to pay attention. EVERY DEVICE BECOMES OBSOLETE.

I don’t own any of these switched outlets, so I dodged this bullet. (If you do, I suggest Meross as a substitute brand — reliable and cheap.

This is also a reminder that devices that don’t work without a manufacturer’s app or cloud are particularly vulnerable. It is sometimes impossible to tell until you really test them. A good argument to be made for #SelfHosting and self-configuring devices.

BTW, #Matter is still not fully implemented by many devices. I have good results with #Thread over #Zigbee or #WiFi or #BLE networks. https://c.im/@theverge/115985115031500246

In other news, I still/again using Navidrome on OpenBSD.

The setup was done ages ago and it was used to stream music on and off.

One of the things keeping me back was the missing artwork and general mess of my MP3/Flac collection that goes back decennia.

But I'm in the process of finding out how to fix this, one album and one artist at a time.

It is great listen some of these old albums in their original sequence.

Where your brain starts playing the intro of the next song before it actually starts.

Great fun!

I built my own personal cloud using Docker on a home server.

Over the past year, I replaced most of SaaS tools with self-hosted alternatives focused on privacy, control, and simplicity.

Low hardware usage. No subscriptions. Full data ownership.

I just shared the full breakdown in my latest blog 👇

The new european social media #w launched a few days ago.

When I first checked, we needed an invitation code to get the website. Not much we could do at the time.

Now, we can actually join a waiting list. Which is getting much more interesting.

That being said, I don't think I'll join:
1. I'm not european (even though Canada is probably an ally)

2. #EU #privacy is much better than #US privacy, but it is still centralized by a swedish #corporation. #sweden

3. I just started #selfhosting my own social media.

This might be of interest to the #Homelab #Selfhosted #selfhosting crowd: #ubiquity seem to be supplying the Russian military with communications equipment, and helping with sanctions evasion. They know about it and don’t prevent it. https://hntrbrk.com/ubiquiti/

That settles the question of whether I want to redo my home network with that vendor 🤷‍♂️.

Wondering if a course for newcomers on properly setting up & securing a reliable & tightly-secured alt to Zoom might be interesting. Geared to those wanting larger calls (50-150) or many concurrent calls, & with more Zoom-alike features than Jitsi offers.

The official BigBlueButton installation method is a breeze, but even so I see many deploying on bad bones: no disk encryption for recordings & db, no disk redundancy, poor security on their tunnel, no backup/restore strategy++

Next up in the #selfhosting journey: gemini to host a small personal website in a small corner of the internet. Seems ideal.

Hey fedi-people ! I'm looking for a self-hosted tool for managing a mindmap on which nodes can have different states, and to be able to display this items on a board like a kanban.
The idea is to modelize my projects into subsets and sub-subsets of tasks that I can manage from a mindmap view, and to be able to quickly check their states from a board.

I have some personal projects with very high amount of task subsets and dependencies. I have been working with todolists, but I would like to test alternate ways to vizualize them.

Do you know some tool which would do this ?
Also which isn't made in NodeJS and which has other deployement ways than Docker.

I finally came around to lay a proper flat cat 7 network cable to my desktop from the cable modem.

It won't win any aesthetics prices but it works and I got my wife to allow it, because it's temporary until we get glass fibre going.

And I'll get a dedicated server lock in the corridor.

And her sewing cloths are invading every free space in our hous, which I don't mind but which plays a role in that, too. ;)

But the sad news is:

Using "normal" internet thingies I don't notice any difference going from 170 mb / ping 14 to 870 mb / ping 8.

Genuine question for 2026:
why do VPS upgrades still default to tiny root disks?
Backups grow. Logs grow. Databases grow.
Root stays small, then everyone acts surprised.
This isn’t misuse. It’s gravity.

#Sysadmin #Infrastructure #Postgres #Fediverse #SelfHosting

Sysops note:
Learning happens in the gaps between design and cock-ups.
Root disk filled, Postgres did the right thing and refused to start, backups proved their worth, DB moved onto its own volume, system calmer than before.
Architecture improves fastest when reality gets a vote.

TIL about the existence of Alpine IT Tools. Holy shit it's good. While there's a hosted version at https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ it's very easy to self-host it on Proxmox thanks to Community Scripts (https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts)

I would absolutely encourage you to have a look to see what it can do, in my opinion it's a Swiss Army Knife of a product.

Hey Fediverse!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a self-hosted notes app that
1. can be easily run on a Synology server,
2. supports Markdown,
3. either has a native iOS app or there’s an iOS app that can use the server-side as its source,
4. and (bonus) offers collaboration options?

I have this weird #IPv6 problem and it's driving me crazy.

So, hear me out.

I have a #wireguard tunnel set up to a VPS because my ISP doesn't offer IPv6. So all IPv6 traffic is routed over the tunnel. Obviously, this means the MTU should be reduced, so I've configured radvd to broadcast an MTU of 1420.

All fine. IPv6 works. I can visit websites, stream audio and video, ssh all over the place, all over IPv6.

Except for #thunderbird. It'll take ages trying to send an email, then complain the server timed out. It'll be unable to save drafts or sent mail to the imap server, complaining about server timeouts.

So I try sending mail with msmtp from the same machine, all is well, no timeouts whatsoever. It's just thunderbird that's being difficult.

I've been staring at this problem for weeks now, done all sorts of tcpdumps along the path from my computer to my mail server. Double-checked that ICMP6 type 2 is passed along neatly across all firewalls involved.

It's got me stumped.

I'm not expecting anyone reading this to be able to provide a solution, I just wanted to share that it's driving me crazy!
