Agreed and big thumbs up for Gentoo. Our distro never gets enough love!

Shimitar OP ,

I want to go directly to the source, i mean, if i want to resolve, for example www.polito.it, i want to ask “it”, then “polito.it”… This is what Unbound should be doing.

Instead, i can resolve it:


<span style="color:#323232;">server /etc # dig it @127.0.0.1

Nothing appears in the logs. It resolve fine using 8.8.8.8 as upstream DNS.

Shimitar OP ,

Yes!

Shimitar ,

I I agree with everybody else saying that the email server should not be self-hosted. But I have a specific exception to this rule, which I was keen to try, but I never did this or take this with a pinch of salt.

I do self-host on my services, but at the moment I keep myself hosted email on a public server, not on my home server.

Since I am using a tunnel to access my services from outside, my home server is actually using my public server ip. moving my email self-hosting to my home server would not actually change the front facing IP address of that email server, and no harm would be done to my mail server.

But is it really worth it? Probably not. Since I would still need some kind of backup email server out on the internet for the rare situations where my home server is cut from the internet due to power outage or ISP being down.

You want full reliability for your email server. So your home connection without UPS or backup connection isn’t going to cut the cheese fully.

So, I would suggest you don’t self-host your email on your home server. You can still self-host your email, but on a public server. Be aware, though, that is a difficult task which will require lots of effort and many months to get it done right and accepted everywhere.

Shimitar ,

What if your home network goes down while you are away for a week and you cannot get it back online?

Not a risk I am willing to take, so a backup server would be required.

Shimitar ,

Keep it like it is, and make a point to explain to anybody what your views are. I understand you not wanting to be considered a Nazi, but it is still ab almost 100 years old piece of history and I think it would be a pity to trash it.

Never forget history, means also keep “historic memorabilia”. There is nothing bad in keeping a piece of history, good or bad, it’s all our history and we should always be wary of trying to " trash it ".

Edit: you should edit your post and specify its not original. Them just trash it or melt if you can use the materials.

Shimitar ,

I started with an ancient redhat, moved to Linux From Scratches, landed in Gentoo 25+ years ago and never hopped anywere else since…

Shimitar ,

Gimp issue is not the name, it’s the outdated UI and the dumb usage decisions like saving only in it’s format. I moved to krita some years ago and I think that’s the future. Gimp will still be along for a long time, and it should as its a great piece of software. Bit that’s it.

Alternatives are good, and having krita and gimp is good.

Gimp name? Never even occurred to me that could be offensive. Not American here. Americans, get out of your asses (joking)… You are often offensive to the world but you don’t care (not so much joking, and ofc I am wrong in generalization), so why should the others?

Shimitar ,

Everybody bashing this guy.

First of all, he is an Apple user… What do you expect?

Bet he was happy to pay cheaper price and disappointed to be… Tricked into buying something of the same value he was paying for?

Hard to stay serious on apple brainwashed guys.

At the same time, interesting to learn how even the most idiotic restrictions are always bypassed one way or the other. This fills me with hope for the future.

Shimitar ,

Usenet is fast and very convenient, but very little content in my language, so… Not sure will renew subscriptions when they expire.

Shimitar OP ,

I find Joplin cluncky and kinda slow. Also, it’s storage is not plain MD even if the files are called .md

Shimitar OP ,

Looks very promising, but its not self hosted? Looks more like an app / local webapp?

Shimitar OP ,

Not really, I am not looking to a note taking app but a diary kind of app, quite different use case. Similar, but different feature set.

Shimitar OP ,

Organization, sorting, categorization… Indeed a TXT can do the job, but why limiting to that…

I already use silverbullet for general notes… But looking for something more targeted and specifically meant for diary tasks.

Shimitar OP ,

Tried the demo, nice, but still mostly a note taking app. Seems easy to selfhost

Shimitar OP ,

Not really what I call open source. Long topic, not OT to discuss here…

Shimitar OP ,

I did, on top post.

Shimitar OP ,

This looks very cool, will definitely give it a try. Thank you

Shimitar ,

Ffmpeg guys, ffmpeg first king… And VLC golden second.

Shimitar ,

Been running raid1 on USB for over a decade. Avoid chaeap USB stuff, get foot brand USB boxes and preferably a JBOD multi-disk enclosure, since they tend to be the best quality.

Never had a disconnect.

Beware to properly label your driver tough, as Linux software raid (I use that) tend to hiccup on boot if the kernel reassign USB devices after a reboot.

Shimitar ,

Many people suggest immich or photoptism, but those are not the correct tools for this use case. Piwigo us great, but in my esperience slow and clunky. Lychee is great tough and probably the correct answer to op.

Shimitar ,

Check this wiki, specially the torrebt and Usenet pages… Then you can wither follow the practical installation pages or ignore and find some docker only guides.

Shimitar ,

Summit. Neat, simple and clear. Updated very often and I simply love it.

Shimitar , (edited )

Is this on your personal work PC or company wide?

Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)

Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…

Shimitar ,

Why such a mess? Either use immich with its upload or use syncthing (I use the latter).

Immich sucks in providing folder based albums, but excells in phone photo backup and sync!

Shimitar ,

There are better options for viewing… Imho

Shimitar ,

There are many.

Personally I use both PiGallery2 (great folder view, super fast) and HomeGallery (innovative browsing approach, modern looks).

They will both work with your existent file/folder structure and will update as you add or remove photos.

Shimitar ,

Piwigo then, but its old, feels old, its slow and ugly.

Shimitar ,

Still on 3.5mm Jack. I have a poco x3 NFC. And would buy again a phone with a jack but…

No i don’t use it much, maybe once in a while when I need headphones while my BT tw are charging or I forgot them home.

To be honest wired headphones are unpractical and messy and I always tend to tear them out of my hears. Usually only use them at my desk with my laptop while phone on bt headset.

So to be honest, jack is something I could do without but that would still be an inconvenience for the limited cases I would need.

So probably I would buy a phone without one… Granted I would always prefer one with the jack at same price/hardware point.

Shimitar ,

I got a mildly expensive pair (100€) and are rock solid since I guess 2018 or 2019. Batteries still last as much as needed, and they never failed me. Battery last days with my usage and in any case, just recharge one while using the other. I use them for phone calls mostly, or movies, and lots of music while I run.

I also have a cheapo pair (30€) which still work from 2015/0216 but I didn’t used them much since 2019, so…

Shimitar ,

I consider myself an old fart, but you need to get out and do more experiences yourself.

Wireless Bluetooth headsets have been pretty nice for years. Don’t go too cheap (but even cheap ones can be good) but don’t waste too much money either on them and you will be fine.

Pairing today is smooth and easy, never had an issue in the last 5 years at very least. Battery life is pretty good, my tw buds get a week worth of charge at my usage (and I use them for daily sport training, calls and occasional video). They get charged automatically when I put them back in the box and the box itself recharge in like 30 minutes.

And you can use them one at a time, which is good to get truly unlimited “call time”. .moreover, my model can both do noise cancelation or environment sound pass-trough which is amazingly good when running on asphalt (the latter) and trying to isolate in the office (the former).

Moreover having no chord dangling getting pulled and catching around is unreliable better experience.

I had to go back to wired a few times (forgot the wireless home…) And found how much worse experience that is.

Of course, I prefer the choice and I have always purchased a phone with audio jack and will do again if at the same price/hardware level.

Shimitar ,

All my micro-usb phones have the port mangled or damaged over time. I had even to replace one, once.

All my usb-c phones have had zero issues with the port itself. And that’s as well true for my kids. Once they managed to break a micro USB but they never even had a single issues in USBC.

They stand much better the forced insertion/unplugging in my experience. yMMv.

Shimitar ,

I run also, and trust me try wireless, such a better experience without the entangling cables. Specially for sport.

Shimitar ,

Do you want to elaborate on the privacy point?

I personally don’t care if somebody snoops on the music I hear…

Shimitar ,

That would be in the few meters range BT works…

And maybe the attacker needs to know already that you are you for that to work…

Of course if you use apple or google or Samsung stuff, in general if your stuff is already tracked to you…

I drive mostly around, they can already track me with my car license plate. BT doesn’t give out anything of added value.

So no, I do not really understand the issue, but this doesn’t mean I don’t respect your choice.

Shimitar ,

I agree, you are perfectly right.

Better pollute the data and make it less economically meaningful?

Sorry, I am not degoogled and I even have maps with history enabled!

Shimitar OP ,

Interesting but seems way overkill…

Shimitar OP ,

Why not agenDav?

Shimitar OP ,

Just learned about its existence from your link… Its referred there.

Shimitar ,

Running radicale on mydomain.blah/radicale just fine since day 0…

Shimitar ,

Don’t have batteries and cannot resell yet (paperwork submitted and waiting) so production is restrained to autoconsume…

But 640kw in 73 dsys here… (6kw rooftop, but mixed rainy weather)

https://feddit.it/pictrs/image/ab0d32bf-2747-4adc-addb-a5727455e9ee.webp

Shimitar ,

Red is my power consumption and blue production. My solar is currently capped at my production because I cannot resell and I have no batteries.

Shimitar ,

That’s the point: that is not markdown file. Most of the text is markdown, but try editing it with a different editor …

Try back and forth between md editors…

You end up with a mess. I want md for interoperability, and this is not good.

Shimitar ,

I am using markor on android and silverbullet (web) on anything else.

Joplin was OK, but the android editor felt sluggish and the only available web GUI was… Meh. And I still had to use WebDAV to sync. And I lost all my data once due to how Joplin “think” sync should be done.

Now using syncthing with markor&silverbullet. Nice combo, and I can still access all my notes over WebDAV anyway.
