I’m impressed!

I’m in this picture and I like it!

I only have the indoor one, but Reolink is fine. Used it as a baby cam. No cloud bs, supports an rtsp stream. App has gone downhill, but due to rtsp I sort of don’t care.

Happy it works for you!

I’m running it on arch so that I never have to go through big upgrades. Been over 5 years now - so far, so good!

In regards to docker - it’s just a container. You can make any executable run a container. I quite like a lean system myself, though.

I’ve never heard of mailcow specifically, but I was intentionally avoiding all-in-one packages when setting up. Life has proven that good things aren’t easy and easy things aren’t good.

And so far I’m happy with that decision - setup is modular, was already able to extend it with postfwd, dual dkim signatures (rsa and ed25519), mta-sts and some other policy I can’t recall right now.

I’ve also specifically wanted to run as little code as possible that’s exposed to the internet - as such, I chose to not have webmail.

I don’t, but I could probably come up with one next weekend.

I roll my own. Postfix, dovecot, spamassasin and dmarc friends. Easy to setup? No. But takes about an hour/year of my time to maintain once the ball is going.

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other

From what I understand the russian party’s fairly effective strategy was to call the pro-eu one, essentially, warmongers. All on the premise that if Georgia starts cutting ties to russia then it’s risking the same fate as Ukraine.

Which is really sad.

Yea, it’s a constant battle. FWIW - try getting the important people onto signal. I use molly client and it has its own mechanism to sync messages in real time, or at least close enough to real time that I haven’t noticed.

One of the unexpected benefits of running grapheneos is that shit like whatsapp can’t cope without having play services available and, as such, doesn’t really do real time notifications. It still checks in every now and then, but that’s definitely bettee than it working “properly”.

Fully agree with the sentiment, but the blog post itself is kinda crap. All it really says is - hey, we’re overcomplicating things, but subscribe to my rss for when I actually start talking about it!

Can’t recall what the title was, but I do remember reading a guide of sorts that essentially boiled down to “start following tags first, you can filter people later”.

Serves as a reminder that there’s always someone faster than you!

At The Moment

At least on zsh it would pop both of those as suggestions you can cycle through.

I did not know that! Thank you!

What do you mean by implementations? Is this closer debian vs rhel or more like linux vs bsd?

killall -9 processname works well when you can’t be asked to get the pid.

kill -9 $$ is my favourite way to save face when I enter something into shell that shouldn’t be in its history. Usual situation - switching panes and forgetting a recently used sudo session. Switching to root and getting there without a password prompt, but still typing it in. Wouldn’t be helpful in situations where shell history is monitored remotely, but hey ho.

I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.

how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.

dire problems, including those that accumulate over time

That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.

As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.

In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.

Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.

Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.
