Tankies.

You can’t have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.

“Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA’s bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry’s profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up.”

Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.

There is 0% chance this man is neither on drugs nor having a severe mental breakdown.

He’s not even good at using his puppet.

Interesting, thanks!

I’ve been meaning to host something like this. Tried to do it with wallabag, but couldn’t be arsed to set-up and SMTP server just for the confirmation email.

Honestly? Probably boredom. Computer-related projects are addictive to me.

Haven’t ventured too far, but searxng was my first selfhosted service. It’s very easy, single container, no database.

Yeah I’ve been meaning to look into it.

Just went with pass because it’s what I’m used to, and it’s pretty straightforward. But definitely next on my to-do list.

I manage them using git and stow.

Stow is very useful, but a bit unknown. Hard to explain in a Lemmy post, but basically it helps you manage symlinks between your git repo directory and your $HOME.

You can “install” and “uninstall” configs by managing the symlinks with stow.

Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.

I use shh keys for all my remote machines, set passwords automatically with ansible, and store them with pass.

EDIT:

Just to clarify, ansible can use pass as a password store, so in the ansible playbooks you can write which password you want to retrieve from pass.

You can also call pass from any shell script by writing $(pass <target_password>)

You can always compile it, it’s just a single cargo command. 🤷‍♂️

Good to hear that the government is using it.

Taxpayer-funded activities should run on FOSS when possible, in my opinion.

Wait… Linux desktop is beating Apple in Turkey?

Do students use Linux in schools, or is there an economic reason (i.e. Apple products are too expensive to buy with the current inflation)?

Besides what everyone already said, I would emphasize docker. Just take the plunge and learn it. It will make hosting and keeping things organised much easier.

If you want to go the extra mile, you could have a look into ansible, to make your build reproducible. But it’s probably overkill for now. You’d probably take so long to get anything done that you might lose interest.

Less storage space (since you don’t duplicate the data that has not been changed since the last backup), and ability to check different versions / restore / rollback.

You’re welcome!

Ah thanks!

Yeah that’s gonna be tricky for me then… I really don’t like to deal with driver headaches.

Do you mean hardware-wise, or software?

VScode with “format on save” enabled. Literally never had an issue.

It’s the editor that finally made me move away from vim

I never heard of the orange pi!

Some of the models are very cheap. Have you tried them? If they are as reliable, I might get myself one for a couple of projects.
