For all the #Mastodon #selfhosting folks out there, any idea what I should be looking at as far as backoff timers or whatever from other instances coming back down, after something like a week of downtime? Several instances, most notably infosec.exchange, still haven't been sending me new messages, some 18 hours later.

I didn't even get one when I tagged myself in a new post - https://infosec.exchange/@north/116199899292856762 - until I searched for it¹. Any insight maybe, @jerry ?

Curiously, Threads and brid.gy started sending me messages within about 15 minutes of coming back online. That seems bad.

¹ at that point, it became a pull, not a push

Edit: A boost from the other side does not appear to have been correctly pushed.

I’m trying to build a USB-C only 10“ Rack. I would like to add a #Lenovo ThinkCentre M80q Gen 3. Has anyone tested the Lenovo USB-C to Slim-Tip adapter (Lenovo 4X90U45346) with a small ThinkCentre desktop before? #homelab #selfhosted #selfhosting
Maybe also @thinkpadmuseum help?

D'ailleurs, l'instance Papra BlablaLinux tourne déjà avec toutes ces optimisations !

#paperless #selfhosting

sind #authelia Nutzer hier, die das in einem kleinen #selfhosting / #homelab Umfeld betreiben, für ca 10 Dienste und max 2 User? Lohnt sich Overhead und Administrationsaufwand dafür überhaupt, oder ist das dann eher eine Spielerei „weil man es kann“?

Ich habe mich noch gar nicht damit befasst, was das so voraussetzt und weil ich mir nicht unbedingt das nächste Rabbithole aufmachen will. Am Ende ist der Komfortgewinn ja eher überschaubar ggü der Nutzung eines Passwort-Managers denke ich mir so.

Pixel Watch 2 - Privacy Preserving Setup

I've been trying everything i could think of to make the watch work under GrapheneOS - Here is what i learned:

• Unpairing the Watch means factory resetting it.
• Every feature (literally everything) is google dependent (who would have thought.. i know)
• Pairing with your phone requires the "Pixel Watch" -App to be installed on your main profile (not work, not private space) alongside Google Play Services. There's no way around.

This is obviously unacceptable. So i did a bit of research and found a way that will not only be way more practical, it will also be private.

First i created a second user on my Phone, installed Google Play Services and the pixel watch app on it, logged in with a newly created google account and completed the setup.

I know some people use a chinese version of the WearOS app to bypass the google login. Since i don't want a chinese app to configure my watch, i didn't even try that.

After the watch was set up, i continued and:

• Deleted the user profile from which i connected the Watch
• Enabled wireless debugging
• Debloated the watch as good as possible (i will have to root the watch in the future to properly do it)
• Removed the Google account in the settings
• Cleared all Bluetooth preferences
• Enabled Bluetooth discovery
• Installed KDE Connect on it (not meant for WearOS but it does work barely)

The watch is now in a state where i can use it daily.

But i also want to make use of all those fancy quality-of-life features, like heartrate monitoring, sleep tracking and so on.

Now comes the fun part.

I've created a basic Kotlin project with both a mobile and WearOS app.

I will implement features like:

• Notification sync
• Call notifications
• Media Player Control
• Weather (openweathermap)
• Heartrate monitoring
• Sleep tracking
• Do not Distrurb Sync
• Homelab integrations (Nextcloud, Immich, Uptime Kuma, ..)
• And much more ..

The goal is to keep the watch offline, let the phone do the heavy lifting and communicate with a selfhosted database. I may even add a frontend and an API so people can integrate it for their needs.

Sounds good but why don't you just buy an #opensource #smartwatch like the #pinetime - You may ask.

Because as much as i hate to admit it, i love the design, the look and feel of the pixel watch. And i'm sure that i'm not the only one.

I also bought this one cheap for around 120€ #refurbished. So the value i can get out of it seems pretty good to me.

So much for today. I haven't even started tackling the Bluetooth connection yet 😅. Let's see how that turns out

I have added a poll to this post to see how many people would be interested in a setup like this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas or expertise in that regard.

Cheers.

Create your own Certificate Authority using bare OpenSSL - is the outcome of this week's tinkering. I wrote the basic things down as a step-by-step guide so we can all have nice things 😃

It intentionally omits more advanced stuff like intermittent certificates, typically found in a more mature setup. The goal is to get your hands dirty, not run the next Let's Encrypt. That'll be the next blog post ... 😉

Is there an easy way to set up a reverse proxy so that jellyfin.local would direct to 192.x.x.x:8091 without getting a public domain involved?

I still only want it available from my home network - just don't want to type out the IP + port all the time

#homelab #selfhosting

Estoy mirando empezar a toquetear cositas de #selfhosting para montarme un servidor para tener películas, documentos, fotos, etc etc a mano sin depender de Google ni iCloud. El problema es el de siempre: si empiezas a mirar recomendaciones, la cosa nunca para. Busco hacer algo pequeñito y por ir probando (aplicaciones tipo #homelab como Plex o Jellyfin, PiHole, y algunas cosillas del estilo que sean interesantes, en SO fáciles de usar), pero no tengo ningún PC antiguo ni quiero gastarme más de lo necesario. ¿Qué aplicaciones requieren más potencia, y qué hardware se suele recomendar para empezar?

He estado mirando algunos mini PC que rondan los 140 pavos, pero no sé si va a ser un poco overkill tener 16 Gb de RAM en un bicho de aliexpress que tendrá una esperanza de vida de diez meses. Agradezco recomendaciones y guías básicas para alguien sin un background técnico 🫶 y que se mantenga en una inversión baja de alguien que quiere probar cosas y sin fliparse en exceso.

Can anyone recommend a privacy friendly SaaS #llm #inference provider? It needs to support *function calling* on at least one of the more recent #openweights models:

- gpt-oss
- Olma3
- Apertus? (I did not yet succeed using it)

There should be some level of cost control. Ideally a hourly rate limit. European solutions are preferred.

Use case is to have a fallback for demos or experiments where local inference is not practical. Monthly costs should go towards 0 when not used.

I have deployed and run infra since the noughts, through some wild turns in geo/techno-political history, and will say that now more than ever, #selfhosting is an act of resistance.

I'm looking for a project to put my PowerEdge R710 to good use! My idea is to install FreeBSD on it and migrate some services currently running on Linux VMs via Proxmox on my PowerEdge R720. Since the software I'm using offers FreeBSD compatibility, this would be a perfect opportunity to utilize the R710's impressive specs:

Dual Intel Xeon X5560 @ 2.8GHz
288GB RAM (fully populated)
6x 1TB SAS drives

What are some alternatives to wordpress? I'm looking for something simple, easy to maintain but also suitable for non-techies to add content to. I don't need a ton of plugins to build webshops and all that, just a CMS and maybe a calendar.

Any suggestions?

I'd go with a static site generator, but I'd like to keep it accessible to non-nerds.

Looked at grav, which on the surface looks like it has what I want, but I got put off by the banners for premium and the AI bullshit.

#SelfHosting #LazyWeb

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.

I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.

Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.

A couple things I'm working on:

RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.

Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.

My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.

I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.

A question for the #streaming & #SelfHosting community...

I want to feed an #Icecast instance on a remote VPS from a local #raspberrypi and avoid spending too much on storage and keep my audio library at home.

I could have a machine at home streaming but the internet is not vary reliable...
Instead, I thought about having some sort of cronjob uploading new audio files on the remote server every 3 to 6 hours and letting the remote VPS playing directly from this temp folder?

Any drawback or issue you could think of? Or a better (cheaper and less ressources consuming) ideas for this setup?

Wondering if anyone can recommend a (free) way to follow Instagram feeds in an RSS reader? I searched online for a way to convert an Instagram user's feed to an RSS feed but it appears it's “complicated”…

I self-host #FreshRSS and would like to be able to follow some music-related Instagram feeds which post about local gigs etc. I ditched my Instagram account a few years ago and won't ever go back, but it would be great to be able to see announcements of gigs and that sort of thing, from people who don't use anything to get the word out apart from the dreaded Instagram…

Thanks in advance!

New series: FreeBSD Foundationals

Part 1 is about Jails - specifically VNET Jails. What epair interfaces actually are (virtual ethernet cables), how bridges tie them together, why the host is basically a router for your jails, and what devfs rulesets control.

Covers the full lifecycle from jail.conf through pf firewalling with NAT/RDR for IPv4 and direct routing for IPv6. Plus the gotchas that'll cost you hours if nobody warns you.

Not a beginner tutorial, hardcore details. The useful middle.

There's a new project called Holos which makes it a lot easier to host a Fediverse server on your own mobile device. You can follow the project at:

➡️ @HolosSocial

The official site explains how it works:

➡️ https://holos.social/how-it-works

To manage expectations, it's still in its early days and mainly for techy people at the moment. However, it will be interesting to follow its development 🙂

Holos is by the makers of the Mastodon/Fediverse mobile app Fedilab.
