If you're into SCP/FTP/Rsync/SMB check out Hetzner Storage Servers. About 3 € for 1 TB, including 10 snapshots
Using Pi's to run services in my homelab which I want to keep separate from my server (to have some sort of failover in case the server goes down). Status/Monitoring, VPN server and so on
That - good sir - is a very valid argument
Surprised I haven’t seen Prison Break yet. After season 3 it just went down
Can someone explain how a Russian helicopter can land in UA airfield without being shot down/at? It's not like you can wave a white flag up there
Can someone please help me out? I don't get it
This seems like the right way - informing users, those who don't care don't care with or without. I'd say that's fully withing the freedom philosophy
Yes and no. Without a users video history (& other tracking turned off) best they can do is push random ads hoping it would hit one in a million. That is not effective and sometimes even diseffective (hitting a controversially opposite target). Tha harms YouTube on both ends more than the ad’s company
By pushing users to turn it on they apparently gain more than just pushing random horse crap.
With you …
Looks smooth, I am running Homer (different to Homerr or others). Super easy to configure in yml and looks clean. No fancy features as weather however… or maybe haven’t found it ^^
I do think I’ll give Homarr another try after looking at yours

Interesting project! I’ll spin it up in the next couple of days and check it out
Docker & Databases. Stack or Individual?
So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack.
Now my question, shall I have 1 database container which is accessed by all containers? Or shall I have a separate container for each service?
For critical services, which shall have as few dependencies as possible I'm already using sqlite or a similar solution.
Also on a sidenote: I have two docker hosts, can I let the containers of 1 hypervisors use the same internal docker network?
TIA!
Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!
But basically I did the following:
- enable ipv4 forwarding
- configure and start VPN tunnel
- set the default route to the tunnel
- set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
- sets routes for the local network to the local gw
If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!
I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.
Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.
That’s becoming interesting once I’m setting up a slaves for failover & local proximity ^^ looking forward to deep diving into it
That be amazing! I am currently not using anything (took down my homelab a while back) and planning on completely starting over fresh now.
I am most likely going with unbound! So if you could, that be great!
Most underrated/unknown service you are hosting?
What is the service you are hosting, which in your opinion is underrated?
I'm trying to find new tools to add to my lab. Enlighten us!
Ps: I'm aiming for unknown tools, so Pihole etc. are out ;)
ELI5 Cloudflare Tunnel
So everyone is talking about cloudflare tunnels and I decided to give it a shot.
However, I find the learning curve quite hard and would really appreciate a short introduction into how they work and how do I set them up…
In my current infrastructure I am running a reverse proxy with SSL and Authentik, but nothing is exposed outside. I access my network via a VPN but would like to try out and consider CF. Might be easier for the family.
How does authentication work? Is it really a secure way to expose internal services?
Thanks!
Flatpak vs Snap vs Native Packages
So I know my way around Linux pretty well. However I never really got the gist of the difference between Snap, Flatpak and Native packages.
What exactly sets them apart?
Why does everyone seem to hate snap?
I have been using all of them, simultaneously on the same system and never really noticed a difference in the way installation, updates etc are handled (syntax ofc).
I hear snap sandboxes? Is that the main reason? Thanks for your insights..

I’ve recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have. Has anyone got experience with this? Any recommendations? I have downloaded the full Reddit datas...
Stumbled across this on lemmy.world. As we are defederated, reposting here.

Redoing homelab and need your insights
I recently upgraded my TrueNAS server to a Synology. While TN has served me well, I don’t have the time anymore to administer it.
I’m now using the opportunity to redo my whole home lab - after years that has become quite a mess.
I’ll retire my old TN appliance as it requires too much energy and is quite bulky. I’m remaining with 1 NUC and a second knock off NUC with slightly lower specs but 2+ LAN ports
What would you do with that Setup? I’ll probably run Proxmox on the NUC and have the second one as a backup, however this one can connect directly to the NAS with a dedicated connection through multiple LAN ports.
I’ll mostly run containers and a few VMs (Git, Pihole, Backup Services, …). My Synology supports both but I’d like to keep things separate. My infrastructure is taken care off, I won’t host pfSense or similar.
I haven’t looked into best practices recently and would like to learn new technologies as Ansible etc.
How do you automate your installations and updates? How does that go together with containers and VMs? Proxmox or maybe plain Debian/Fedora/…?
Thanks for sharing!
Last hours of "free" reddit. Whats your theory?
Whats is going to happen in 24hours? 48hours?
Short Term Impact
I think the first 12-24hours will drive many users into confusion. The lurkers will switch over within the first 1-2days, the active community will split up, some remaining on multiple platforms (incl. reddit).
Medium Term Impact
Reddit lives from it's moderators. But nowadays a good AI might replace that, will have a rough start but gradually become better. I still believe the communities will become streamlined and heavily automoderated due to lack of human reason. That will hurt discussion, conversations and though provoking comments.
Fediverse
The Fediverse will definitiv gain from this. Reddit will not see an immediate fall but gradually decline. The majority of users will mostly be lurkers.
What if...
BUT, with no API, no bots.. Maybe, this will actually work out for reddit and a more active community will build up again. There 's always the option for a black swan of any kind.
The Central bank chiefs indicate willingness to maintain high interest rates to control inflation
News, analysis and comment from the Financial Times, the worldʼs leading global business publication
Leaders of major central banks are ready to increase interest rates to control inflation
They are targeting a rate of about 2%. Mainly influences by the current conditions in the labor markets + rising wages.
The IMF warns this could trigger a financial crisis. Inflations are high everywhere (\~6% EU, 4% US, 9%UK).
60% of subreddits are still dark! Reddit activity down 30%
x-post from https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/28560/

The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (\~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].
This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.
Glad to have found a new place to hang out!
Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up
