  • Like 3 weeks ago on my (testing) server I accidentally DD’d a Linux ISO to the first drive in my storage array (I had some kind of jank manual “LVM” bullshit I set up with odd mountpoints to act as a NAS, do not recommend), no Timeshift, no Btrfs snapshot. It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop trying to use a macbook air with 6 external hard drives as a server though. Also gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop using volatile naming conventions in my fstab.







  • I thought the same thing til just earlier today!

    What you wanna do is install docker engine, which installs docker locally on your server instead if someone else’s cloud. Following this you can spin it up using a self hosted container.

    If you want it to be accessible outside your home network you can set up pivpn and wireguard to access it from anywhere, just VPN into the home network and connect to immich through there.

    I rolled out immich in about an hour today using this, a few days ago I did jellyfin as well. Thinking about doing xmpp and email next



  • Browser based ad blockers are great but Google (who manages the codebase for MOST browsers) has gotten better at keeping ad blockers off of Chrome and other Chromium based browsers.

    Long term solutions are things like a piHole or a VPN based ad blocker, but even those can cause issues if their filters are too strict (a bigger issue on something like that as configuration is often handled on another device).

    For example, once upon a time the Microsoft website was completely inoperable with some ad blockers because the cdn that sends out their images and the like was also an ad server causing most things on their site to be blocked by apps like ublock origin.
