    Been playing around with FreshRSS over the weekend. Pretty cool! Especially when combined with morss to convert RSS feeds that are intro only into full text feeds.

    But the mobile view is pretty bad! Had to spend some time adding Custom CSS to make it acceptable to me.

    Might blog about it soon.

          Compared to the last one where I was solo ,

          I'm going to allow people to join this new one.

          For now, the goal is to be Canadian mastodon instance where both and is used and accepted.

          We'll see how that goes.

              A word of sage advice for all of you homelabbers.

              I bring to you, from my decades of experience, my wealth of knowledge, and from the depths of my IT grit this piece of information, that I am sure none of you have ever considered before.

              When you build a new system, staging it in your home office where you have access to it for things like, connecting installation media, and displays, and whatnot, and after your lovingly crafted system is ready to be moved to its new home in your rack in the basement.

              Take care to transport your system, prepare a port on your switch before you get there, and have an ethernet cable ready. Don't forget to find a free power outlet in your UPS! and be careful not to jostle other systems connections as you connect things.

              Then power on your new system with the confidence that it will boot up and be accessible within mere moments because you thought of everything, you know its ready.

              Then spend 15 minutes back in your office scratching your head wondering why it didn't come up... And realize...

              You forgot to plug in its ethernet cable.

                        Helix wanted to try their hand at a physical DIY project for once — most of their work is purely software. The goal: build a portable temperature & humidity monitor from scratch to tackle a real problem at home: poor insulation and rooms humid enough to grow mold.

                        ESP32 + DHT22 + a few euros of AliExpress parts. The article covers the circuit design, prototyping, and some tricks along the way. It's a work in progress — more updates coming as the project evolves.

                            Meine Universal Gleitschienen für's Rack sind leider 8cm zu kurz und deswegen liegt der Server gerade nur lose im Rack :/

                            Am Server ist "die Hälfte" der Rackschiene bereits verbaut, nur der Teil für das Rack selbst fehlt, wo die Kiste dann eingehangen wird.

                                  The question right now is which storage configuration to pick, it's mostly a choice between RAID0-ish(*) over 2 x 8 TB disks or RAID5 over 3 x 4 TB. What does the fediverse think?

                                  (*) not a live RAID0, but a nightly mirror from main disk to backup disk

                                        In such a world, hobbyist bakers could offer their friends to make bread for them at modest prices, perhaps even teach those interested. They wouldn't tell them all to learn baking and buy the machines and to learn gardening and to grow their own tomatoes because nobody can do everything.

                                        We computer people should start thinking like that: Letting our 10–20 friends in on our DIY Netflix server or Nextcloud instance for a few bucks to cover electricity costs. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

                                                  I really want to avoid ending up blacklisted, does anyone have any advice about running their own mail server?

                                                      I haven't used for a long time, and today I decided to check the release notes to see what new features were added during that period.

                                                      It's nothing. The last new feature was added in version 1.8.0-10070, when I was still using it. Almost a year ago, on April 16 2025.

                                                      It seems that is no longer suitable for personal use.

                                                              In case you’re wondering how screwed the SSD and broader storage market is:

                                                              Just last week, I bought 5 8TB WD Red Pro NAS drives on Amazon to be delivered the following week. Amazon limited me to 3 hard drives, even across multiple orders, so I used my coworker’s account to buy 2 more. I couldn’t find any other high-TBW CMR 8TB hard drives anywhere else, no matter the brand or retailer.

                                                              Less than a week later, and now Amazon says “available to ship in 1-2 days”, but “fastest delivery July 21-31”. That’s 18 WEEKS! 4 MONTHS!

                                                              Hope none of y’all were planning to buy new hard drives any time soon.

                                                                I decided to start using on my main system for the first time, and wow, it was a major pain in the ass at first.

                                                                Decided to go with @CachyOS since I game quite a bit, and it was one of the more popular distros that people like to game on.

                                                                The first thing i noticed was "sudo apt" does not work. My already extremely limited linux knowledge comes from on debian/ubuntu based OS.

                                                                Oh, and software compatibility... Im like the king of bloat, always have dozens of applications running, and my overflow/status bar on windows has usually 4-5 lines of apps at all times. The biggest compatibility issue I am having right now is with my streamdeck. While there is opendeck, the thought of moving my probably close to 300+ buttons is just preventing me from even trying in the first place! The other app that i use daily that just doesn't exist on is voicemeeter. I will probably have to figure out an alternate at some point.

                                                                But honestly, other than some applications just not existing on linux, it's been a great switch. Everything runs smoothly, and the 2 games i have tried so far have worked fine for the most part. I did have issues with Palworlds, and im still not sure what it was; I installed it and played it successfully without any tinkering, but when it came time to play with friends it would just refuse to work, often showing a black screen eventually leading to a crash. We usually get together to play maybe once every few weeks, but here i ended up spending the whole time trying to troubleshoot it, So i was quite bummed out at that. In hindsight, i could have just as easily switched to my windows install since i was dualbooting, but the fact that it worked fine and then just didn't made me want to fix it. A clean reinstall of the game did end up fixing the issue, but it was too late lmao.

                                                                I've been slowly moving my files from the Windows partition to my linux partition and everytime I load into Windows i keep starting to hate windows more and more, everything feels sluggish, slow boot up, so much unnecessary popups and tons of apps opening during bootup (although this is mostly my fault, still worsens the experience).

                                                                Overall, it's been a fun learning experience and I've been mostly enjoying linux. The transition was much smoother than i could imagine, and for most tasks I just forget that im using a completely different operating system, which imo is a good thing. Im looking forward to learning what else linux has to offer.

                                                                Also since im using which is based on , can i say "I use btw"?

Do i use all of them? Absolutely not, but i definitely enjoyed setting them up and all the pains that came along with it. Not to mention the dozens of time where i spend about 3 days setting up a service to perfection, just to end up not using it. I would say was what made my switch to linux much more gentle, even though it's a different system ( -> ).

                                                                                  Es ist vollbracht: Nach einigem Schrauben, Konfigurieren und Umziehen sende ich diesen Post hochoffiziell von meiner komplett eigenen GoToSocial-Instanz!

                                                                                  Nebenbei läuft hier im Hintergrund auch mein eigener Matrix-Server. Warum der ganze Aufwand mit Proxmox, LXC und Co.? Weil digitale Souveränität einfach ein unbezahlbares Gefühl ist. Meine Hardware, meine Regeln, meine Daten. 🛡️ Keine Algorithmen, keine großen Tech-Konzerne, die mitlesen.

                                                                                  An alle Follower, die den automatischen Umzug von meinen alten Accounts mitgemacht haben: Schön, dass ihr heil auf PlanetBotler gelandet seid! Macht es euch gemütlich. ☕️ :bier_1:
