Bootable thumb drive with a persistent OS installed and preconfigured?

The correct way to fix traffic is to stop designing the world around cars to the exclusion of absolutely everything the fuck else including humans.

All the time, the tip has to stay subsonic so they don’t spin that fast. 1021 RPM on an H-model herc for example.

Not to defend capitalism in general, but it’s really good at answering these sort of “is it worth the cost?” aquestions. The whole point is to allocate scarce resources efficiently; the problem is that it assumes nobody is a scumbag and all the costs are accounted for.

Curation and moderation

Well then maybe you should also pass on making generalizations about selfhosting?

traches , (edited )

It’s a lot more painful if you don’t know what you’re doing and disregard good advice.

I’d look up instructions on how to install another OS for both chromebooks. On my Samsung I had to physically disassemble it to remove a screw.

The OS to use is gallium OS. Specifically made for chromebooks and their oddities

traches ,

Oh no :( I didn’t know.

OP, Linux on a Chromebook can work but don’t be surprised if you have hardware issues to deal with. Might be better to choose a more mainstream laptop

traches ,

Yeah that was my experience - arch on a Samsung Chromebook, never could get audio working. Worked fine with gallium though.

traches ,

You can’t just remove cities from statistics for better numbers

traches ,

Funny, but a decent linter & language server solve many of these.

traches ,

Every time I try something different I always come back to arch + swaywm

Web dev here.

  • editor + web browser + devtools when working on frontend (workspace 3)
  • editor + tests + another terminal for whatever when working backend (workspace 2)
  • server terminal + lazydocker for both (workspace 1)
  • web browser with work related tabs + todo list + notes app on workspace 9
  • chat apps and email on workspace 10
  • long-running jobs and performance monitors on workspace 8
  • 4-7 are used for whatever
  • music on scratchpad

Tiling (as well as stacking) make it manageable to have a bunch of windows open with a minimum of fuckery. Sure I can only read one at a time, but when coding for example I’m rapidly switching between the code and the result. I can have a text editor, browser, and devtools accessible as fast as I can think, and I spend very little effort arranging windows.

Also, a good tiling window manager replaces the need to learn a bunch of windowing features for other apps. My devtools open in a new window, I don’t use tmux or my terminal’s split features, and I generally have a bunch of browser instances open because my window management handles it all, better.

traches ,

¯_(ツ)_/¯ whatever works for you, but that sounds painful to me. Why is only using the center of the screen so important?

I’ll clarify that I only use the more complicated layouts on my big monitor at home; when I am on a laptop it’s single window or side-by-side for the most part.

Can’t even use the heater in my mre what the fuck is this bullshit

You’ll want to learn some database administration before you attempt this. Simpler to just give them all their own instance.

I post my terrible code to github so I can sabotage copilot

To clarify, calibre-web is not “the docker version of calibre”, it’s a separate project that provides a nice web frontend for an existing calibre database.

traches ,

That’s correct! I can share my docker-compose if that’s helpful. I’m on my phone, but I believe they just have to share a volume.

+1 for feralhosting. Used them for a few years before I finally switched to local + VPN

  • restic > backblaze b2, nightly & automatic
  • restic > normally unplugged drive, every couple weeks (manual, recurring reminder)

Yeah, they’re a complete solution. OS and everything

I can’t answer all of it, but much of what you’re asking for can be accomplished with a simple samba share. If you can handle nextcloud, you can set up samba.

It’s perfectly reasonable to use the same device to run your web services and as your NAS. There’s no reason you can’t divide them up later if you want.

You’ll need to pick a file system, I suggest either BTRFS or ZFS though there are several options. BTRFS is neat because it’s flexible - you can make huge changes without ever dismounting. You’ll want to plan for a multiple-drive solution, and you’ll need to decide how you’d like to balance performance, space efficiency, and failure tolerance. Whatever you do, pick one single drive size and stick with it – different disk sizes xan work, but there are restrictions and they complicate things.

A good backup is automatic, versioned, and encrypted. You preferably want one offsite and one onsite for anything irreplaceable. Restic is a good tool, as is Borg backup, as are many other options. Personally I run a restic job nightly, with backblaze b2 as a destination. I also have a local backup on normally-unplugged drives that I run manually every couple weeks.

For plumbing, tailscale is really nice. Easy to set up, and you get remote access to everything with minimal config and no holes in your firewall.

Regarding hardware, you have many options. Old laptops actually make great homelabs:

  • energy efficient
  • built-in UPS
  • no need to drag a keyboard/monitor/mouse over when you can’t access via SSH for whatever reason
  • usually plenty performant for the task

Their biggest drawback is a lack expandability/upgradability, though you can get pretty good USB drive bays to partially address that. Another option is the intel NUC family and its competitors, basically tiny desktops built out of laptop parts. A third option is to build a normal desktop PC, either into a normal case or a rack-mount one if you have the space. The off-the-shelf options work, but are limiting in my experience. That said, they’re the way to go if you don’t want to do a lot of tinkering.

Whichever solution you go with, personally I wouldn’t start with any less than 4 drive bays. More is better, you can’t have too many. You should be able to shuck your old drives and put them into any 3.5" drive bay.

For reference, my setup is an intel NUC with a thunderbolt 10 drive bay plugged in. I have a mishmash of disks, ~48tb total in BTRFS raid 1giving me 24tb usable. Running a good handful of docker containers and a samba share, all accessible over tailscale.

Sorry for the info dump, happy to answer questions.

What are you using for photo storage and organization?

Hey, I’m wondering what everyone’s solution is for self hosted “cloud” storage of photos? I’ve been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it’s missing some features I’d like to have. While we’ve set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven’t found an easy way to...

traches ,

I’m currently on photoprism like you, but I am looking to switch to immich.

I solved the sharing problem by having a family-only instance locally (accessible via tailscale), connected via WebDAV to a public instance on a cheap VPS (which I also use for other things). We have to share twice, but I don’t have any holes in my firewall. Currently I don’t believe immich can do something like this, but I’d love to be proven wrong

traches ,

They do support multiple users, but they gated the feature behind a subscription.

traches ,

allow(:STDOUT).to_receive(:write)

traches ,

But does it though? A blockchain is the ultimate zero tolerance policy. Lost your password? Grandma gave the house to a scammer? Too fucking bad

traches ,

Why a screwdriver and not a driver drill?

traches ,

The only real pain point I have is my hard drive layout. I’ve got a bunch of different drive sizes that are hard to expand on without wasting space or spending a ton.

traches ,

I’m on btrfs. I have a 14 TB, a 16TB, and two 7TB drives in RAID1. I’m running out of space for all my linux ISOs and I’d really like to transition to some sort of 3 or 4:1 parity raid, but you’re not supposed to use that and I don’t see a clear path to a ZFS pool or something
