Same. Local RAID 1 with rotating external drives where one is always offsite, then B2 as a last ditch “just in case” for my most important data. I forget how much data I have in B2 but it’s about $2/month.

I use Debian BTW. ; )

But you’re right, when did it shift from gentoo to arch?

But you have to post it when you record it… Please.

I’ve been leery about bitwarden client updates since the posts awhile back about the new(ish) PE/VC c suite person.

I’m not saying those are related in any way other than the fact that I intentionally haven’t updated my clients to the latest yet and for once it worked out for me :)

Still available via my VPN node in India but I don’t know if that actually means anything.

Every time Firefox groups my tabs on desktop I get pissed off and say I’m going to disable it… Then immediately forget because I was in the middle of something.

They can take the tab groups from me and give them to you, no charge.

Postman locked all my locally saved requests away after an update unless I created an account with them. I wasn’t updating very often because every update made it shittier.

Fuck postman.

I’ve been all in on Bruno ever since.

You’re right, that was quite a hassle : )

Glad you got it sorted.

I still need to try this.

I downloaded and started seeding it when there was a post about it a few weeks back but haven’t had time to try it.

I assume the ISO live boots from a USB so I can poke around without installing? Surely.

I’ve got an old laptop that I kept windows on for the once every few years I had to use windows but I don’t think it’s supported anymore and I’d actually use it occasionally if I put Linux on it ;)

I want to preface this with the fact that I am definitely NOT a networking expert so… don’t trust anything I say.

My situation is a bit different because I am using Tailscale, though I have it on the list to be replaced in the future.

When you Wireguard to your LAN, do subsequent DNS requests go through the VPN? Sounds like you’re looking into that route based on your third point above. If so, can you just add a static DNS resolution to your LAN router that points to your Caddy SSL terminator/reverse proxy? This assumes a static IP for your host.

That’s what I’ve done. On my router I’ve set a static DNS entry of silverbullet.mydomain.com -> 10.0.0.101 (where *.101 is the static IP of my internal host/Caddy). This allows everything to resolve correctly when I’m physically attached to my LAN but also when connecting remotely via Tailscale.

It may not be elegant, but it avoids the hassle / extra config of a local DNS server as well as the need to manage host routes on each device.

EDIT: My router is running OpenWRT but I think most consumer grade routers support static DNS routes… but I could be wrong.

I’ve been doing the SSL with Caddy and Let’s Encrypt via CertBot. Extra work but not too bad once you figure it out (and take notes since I forget by the time the renewal comes around :)

I still need to find time to set up auto renewal… One day

I’ll stick with FOSS instead… Silverbullet.md in this use case.

checks if I made this comment while drunk

No, not me… Unless my drunk self has an alt I’m not aware of.

Exactly the same situation here on every part of your comment.

I still have my previous phone… S5 that I used for seven years until it couldn’t get updates and I “needed” some apps that wouldn’t run on the old android version (I don’t remember what they were at this point or if there was a way around it).

It’s been sitting on my desk for the past 5 years waiting for a purpose. The battery is shot but it still “works”. Maybe this is that purpose because I was specifically looking for something like this a few months back …because I thought it would be funny to have that phone as a server.

Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

I’ve been dreading the new computer as well. I built the original incarnation of my current one in … holy shit, late 2013. I was thinking 2016 but I just looked up the order and it was 2013. I did it pretty damn “top of the line” because I wanted it to last ages. I have occasionally upgraded or replaced drives, GPU, RAM, power supply, but I’m still on the original board+CPU.

It’s still great… running Linux and occasionally gaming.

That’s mostly correct. If we want to be super technical, I’m not “logging in” to my router, just using it as a Tailscale network bridge to gain LAN access so I can SSH from my phone to my server. But, in general, yeah.

I currently don’t allow any direct access to my server from the internet. The only way to access it is Tailscale. I have Tailscale installed on both my desktop (always on) and my router (also, always on). The reason I installed it on the router is because my desktop is also full disk encrypted. So, if there’s a power outage then both the server and desktop will reboot and both will be waiting for LUKS unlock, rendering my desktop useless as a Tailscale jump point.

Since the router boots automatically then it will always start back up and allow Tailscale access after an outage and therefore I can use it to access my LAN and SSH to the server to enter the password.

Basically the same setup you’ve got with the RPi - having a node that comes online automatically after a power outage, automatically starts Tailscale, and allows LAN access. You use an RPi, I use my router. (I briefly did the exact same thing as you, with an RPi, until I found I could install it on the router : )

I used Mint for about a decade. When I upgraded the drives on my desktop RAID from 2TB to 14TB the newest version only recognized 999GB. After some troubleshooting I begrudgingly tried Ubuntu, same thing. I figured Debian would be the same since that’s Grandma but I tried anyway. It worked perfect so I’ve been on Debian for a few years now and haven’t noticed any big differences so here I’ll stay.

Love me some Debian

A lot of people seem to think I’m we’re crazy for not getting a new phone every year or two. Previous one lasted 7 years, this one is at a bit over 5 years… It’s fine.

Been awhile since I used this since I rebuilt my home server a few months ago but it was solid when I was running it in the past (as a pod in k3s)

I need to add this to my list to re-add…
