I've been using YunoHost for some time. Cosmos seems good, too. Both do most of the stuff for you and should come with documentation. I think that's the way to go if you can't set it all up yourself, or lack time to maintain it.

I've also used Docker containers and plain Debian. I use NGinx as a reverse proxy.

I document things in text files (markdown). At some point it'd like to upload them with something like mkdocs or to a wiki. But since it's just me, having them just sitting in a directory on my laptop is fine.

Use something that's super accessible so you'll actually use it. I often just dump random thoughts or commands I executed into the textfiles and I have my text editor open all the time anyways. And then on the server I eiter use Ctrl+R and search through the shell history, or search in my documents. Doesn't need to be fancy, grep -rni "keyword" does it for me.

Nice. I think we simultaneously wrote very similar comments. But I don't use my Jellifin to mimick live TV. Either I choose some movie or the next episode of my new favorite TV show, or I just waste my time on YouTube. I also used to watch Netflix, but I think they removed most of the interesting content.

hendrik , to selfhosted in Any MythTV Users Here?

Wow, MythTV is still around? I used that like 12 years ago. I've stopped watching live TV since. Except for some of the regional program and news that's part of public broadcasting.

OP gave some clues, though. I think the comment with "London" was meant to be a joke. But it's true that this kind of surveillance is common in Britain, some parts of Asia and some random big cities. And OP knows how to write the time of the day properly, so they're certainly not from the USA. 😉

Yeah, sometimes perceived reality and the real reality are two things. And there are places where you can't walk on the streets as a woman. I'm not sure if it's about fear in your case. Or just because you broke your promise but there isn't any fear involved.

Anyways, in relationships general advice is to talk to each other. Ask her what's bothering her. Maybe it's a pretend reason and there is something deeper that's bothering her. Maybe this was the proper reason. Maybe she's a resentful person. Maybe she just had a bad day.

Unless it happens regularly or there are other factors to it, I wouldn't necessarily attribute it to malice or be a manipulation strategy...

hendrik , to nostupidquestions in Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? (Edit: No, she is not gaslighting me, but may have some other issues.)

I don't think it's gaslighting. Gaslighting is manipulating someone into questioning their perception of reality. This is being angry at someone.

I can't really relate. Is it really that dangerous where you live? We probably live in different countries but I don't have CCTV in the residential area where I live. And usually in the summer, it's still bright enough at 10pm an people are still around and it's safe enough for women to walk home alone. At least in most places.

hendrik , to selfhosted in Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go?

Apache isn't a copyleft license. I guess they (and everyone) can just copy or compile it, make it a derivative work and say it's now non-free and terms and conditions apply.

I mean the GitHub repo has a license file which says it's Apache 2.0. And 3h) of the EULA says it doesn't apply to open source components. So it kinda doesn't apply to itself. I think you're right, it's Free Software after all and them saying "Some builds [...]" means it's the binaries distributed by them. IANAL and it kinda contradicts the Apache license which explicitly states I am allowed to redistribute copies both modified and not modified and both in object and source form. I'm not sure why they do it and if there are components missing in the GitHub repo.

hendrik , to selfhosted in Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go?

Hmm. I guess that works, too. I'm just a nerd and really like Free Software. Almost exclusively use it. My phone runs a custom ROM with just a few unfree apps and without Google services, all my computers run Linux. Even the internet router does, and my IoT smart sockets run Tasmota or ESPHome. I like the 4 freedoms and the culture behind it. I participate and regularly contribute. All of that is mostly personal preference. I guess I could as well live comfortably with using Google Drive, but I choose not to. Source-available software would allow me to look at the code, something proprietary software doesn't allow. But that's pretty much it. I often can't remix and share it as I like. I don't have the freedom to decide to use it as it pleases me. And depending on the exact license, I can't even invite my friends and family to use the services I set up...

It's just the line I draw. And with the software I really rely on and use daily, I'm pretty strict. Either it provides me with the Four Essential Freedoms of Free Software as lined out by RMS in the eighties, or I don't volunteer to use it. I have no issues though with other people making different choices.

hendrik , (edited ) to selfhosted in Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go?

Is it Free Software? In the repo is a LICENSE file, saying it's Apache licensed. But I also found an EULA saying it's not Free Software...

hendrik , to selfhosted in HDD data recovery

Since you got your data off that drive, there is no way to make it worse. So sure, go ahead and open it up and learn something. But I think you're underestimating the flimsiness of the mechanics inside. It's like nanometers clearance between the read heads and the surface of the platters. You won't get it right without expensive equipment. And changing the PCBs is probably not going to change anything if it's a mechanical failure.

And you need to configure protonvpn correctly so it uses their DNS. In the VPN world this is known as a 'DNS leak'.

Well, there's this study from 2018: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11416-018-0319-9

Given that Priton / Wine / ... try to simulate a Windows environment, it's certainly possible. But I've never heard this happened to anyone. And the discussions on the internet seem very theoretical.

Surely it highly depends on the exact kind of malware and what it tries to do. And it doesn't really seem to happen in the wild. But I see no reason why it wouldn't theoretically work.

hendrik , to nostupidquestions in what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine?

I damaged a few insoles, so maybe take care of them separatly.

I think general advice is to remove insoles and shoelaces. Choose a program that keeps spinning to a minimum. And put something else in so they don't spin around like crazy. And dry them slowly, stuffed with old newspapers.

I occasionally wash them. I also put in a few dirty rags or something. Seems fine, but I haven't done it frequently.
