The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
And for learning postgresql I agree it isn’t very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.

I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.

" in" appears 25 times on the page to be exact, with 16 of those being in the table of contents and 9 being in the text afterwards.
“in” appears 54 times, as you know end up hitting “string” and so on.

I consider client devices to be a big risk factor and if I can keep them from having direct access to the Backup NAS and the IoT I consider that a big win. A simple ransomware attack on a client device would find any NFS/SMB shares the client can access and start encrypting - having the Backup NAS on a separate VLAN that only the server can access stops most of those from affecting the backup and makes restoring a lot easier. I would definitely recommend having an offline backup of the NAS as well in case of the server being breached.

What is a simple server solution for Jellyfin and Nextcloud?

I have a really bad “server” (just a laptop) that runs Fedora Server and uses Docker Compose to host Jellyfin. It has been very annoying to update (the web GUI for Fedora doesn’t even work half of the time), updating is painful, and it’s a pain to manage. I am trying to redo my entire setup, so I will be getting a NAS to...

anamethatisnt ,

Regarding management UIs I’m a fan of Cockpit (github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit cockpit-project.org)

Regarding management UIs for docker I believe most use either portainer (github.com/portainer/portainer www.portainer.io) or dockge (github.com/louislam/dockge dockge.kuma.pet).

Regarding Samba most NAS devices simplify it a lot, but it isn’t that complicated to do on Fedora either and once you’ve got it setup it’s not gonna need a lot of tinkering. (docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/samba/)

Whether you invest in a NAS or not I recommend you invest in a USB disk large enough to act as a backup for the storage disks. That’s not an investment for later but one you want right away. And do make certain it takes backups, not replicates data. A popular option is Borg Backup (github.com/borgbackup/borg www.borgbackup.org)
If I went for a NAS I would Borg Backup the laptop to the NAS and then use the NAS own backup software to backup to the USB.

I like that Qwant is based in europe and I like that their search engine works with javascript off.
edit: Only first page, cannot show more results at the bottom. DDG will let me continue looking through results with javascript off and will continue to be my primary search engine.

The results differ between duckduckgo and qwant for me when using english but in my native language the results are very similar.
They’ve said that they reinforce their search results with bing if their own index has few results, so I imagine that’s why.

Soldered RAM has better performance and reliability while consuming less power than socketed RAM and users of budget machines rarely want to upgrade. If you find one with socketed RAM at that price, colour me impressed!

Sometimes the appeal of socketed RAM is to just buy the bottom model and upgrade.

Basic knowledge that makes selfhosting easier

  1. Some networking basics (Firewall, VPN, NAT, DHCP, ARP, VLAN) makes every selfhosters life easier.
    1b. Your ISP router probably sucks, but you might be able to experiment with some static DHCP at least. I’m a fan of the BSD based routers opnsense/pfsense but depending on what router you have you might also be able to run OpenWrt on your existing router.
  2. Some management system and filesharing basics (NFS, SMB, SSH, SCP and SFTP).
  3. Learning how to set up a backup for your stuff. The hypervisor you choose may or may not have a built in solution.
  4. Checking out a few different hypervisors (Proxmox, Incus, KVM/QEMU, etc) and find out which one you wanna dive deeper into.
    4b. Learn how to make a snapshot for easy rollback in said hypervisor ASAP. Being able to undo the last changes that broke a machine is a godsend.
    4c. VM, LXC, Docker and Podman basics (what are they, how do they differ, which one fits my usecase?)

    I know Flackbox has a good CCNA (networking) study guide on youtube, but that is way too in depth for a self hosting beginner.
    Here’s some introduction to different parts of the network:
    Free CCNA 200-301 Course 06-05: IPv4 Addresses
    Free CCNA 200-301 Course 23-01: DHCP Introduction
    Free CCNA 200-301 Course 12-04: ARP Address Resolution Protocol
    Free CCNA 200-301 Course 21-01: VLANs Introduction
    Free CCNA 200-301 Course 21-04: Why we have VLANs
anamethatisnt ,

I definitely agree on starting to tinker right away and to setup snapshot/backup for your stuff and then break it. It also makes one learn how to roll back and restore which is as important as setting up the snapshot/backup in the first place.

anamethatisnt ,

My Debian Hypervisor do have a DE (GNOME) to be able to easily access virtual machines with virt-manager if I mess up their networking, my Debian VMs run CLI only though.

Regarding your last section I agree strongly - I only expose my vpn with no other incoming ports open. You also don’t need to invest in a domain if you do it this way.
I don’t mind helping my friends install their openvpn client and certificate and it’s nice to not have my services bombarded with failed connection attempts.

anamethatisnt ,

For linux this is as easy as script <filename>, ex:
[user@fedoragaming ~]$ script 20240313InstallingJellyfin.log
Script started, output log file is ‘20240313InstallingJellyfin.log’.
[user@fedoragaming ~]$ exit
exit
Script done.

edit: and for Windows I recommend using putty, it can also save sessions to logs.

Cockpit
I do know about and use Cockpit with said virtual machine manager but I mostly use it as a shutdown/boot/restart app in my phone and a convenient service monitor and log viewer when troubleshooting.

Wireguard/OpenVPN
I really should try out Wireguard sometime but currently OpenVPN is fast enough for my bandwidth and I was already proficient with setting it up before Wireguard.
The WebUI definitely looks useful.

anamethatisnt ,

So… no need for a DE :)

No real need for me to remove it either, but your point stands. :) https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b20ad216-2b1c-4e35-bf73-4720206ff6f8.png

How to drop files from Android to home server?

Yeah getting stuck behind CGNAT IPv4 and no IPv6 would break setting up your own vpn server. That would cause me too look for another internet provider.
I only got 100mbps at home so I’m still running openvpn as I don’t gain anything worthwhile from wireguard.

OpenWRT gateway with TP-Link brand access points

I could do by IP and assign...

anamethatisnt , (edited )

Any router that supports latest openwrt will be able to do a mesh network, if you have the option to run cable I would recommend ethernet backhaul instead.

Sometimes there are caveats when setting up the mesh, f.e. the firmware issue and fix here:
tekovic.com/…/openwrt-80211s-mesh-networking/

Hardware list:
openwrt.org/toh/start?toh.filter.supportedcurrent…

edit:
OpenWrt Mesh guide:
openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/…/80211s
openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/…/mesh11sd

edit 2 adding the openwrt warning here:
It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

These are two completely unrelated standards.

If you’re using wireless then you could try disabling power saving on the wifi card. It will drain more battery but the only reason I can see iptraf helping is if it wakes the network card.

I would try a LiveUSB with Fedora or another distro with a more up to date kernel and test my wireless card there, if wifi and bluetooth plays nice then you can install a new kernel on Linux Mint and probably have it solved that way.
