Meine private Infrastruktur für mich & meine Friends hat mittlerweile fast alle US-Dienste abgelöst:

✅ eigenes Mediacenter für Filme, Serien & Hörbücher
✅ eigener Mailserver
✅ eigene Nextcloud

Jetzt fehlt eigentlich nur noch ein Ersatz für Spotify...

Okay, a question for #GoToSocial users:

I've noticed that my profile page on the web shows the first post in threads I've started, but not any replies or boosted posts: https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj (open the link in your web browser)

I've looked through all the settings, and there doesn't appear to be one change that.

Am I missing something?

Is there a way to get replies or boosts to appear there too?

Or is that just the way GtS works?

Argh! I thought it would be easy and simple to set up a #selfhosted web server and create a small site to enter inventory data, save to a database and display it in a report from. But no, hours spent just trying to figure out what to use. Ugh

BRUSSELS — BOOK LAUNCH — 29.4

→ How to make books more sustainable? During this evening, Low-tech Magazine will present our "Compressed Book Edition", this time in Brussels, at Architecture Curating Practice's gallery.

→ Inspired by the image compression on its solar-powered website, Low-tech Magazine squeezed the article catalog of their three-volume chronological book series into just one book. Compressing the content — an editorial and design choice — produces a larger reduction in resource use than printing on recycled paper could ever do.

🕰 18:30 Doors open
19:00 Book presentation and introduction of Low-tech Magazine
19:45 Q&A
20:00 Book sale / snacks & drinks / discussion

📌 Architecture curating practice,
et al. architect-run space
37 Rue des Tanneurs / Huidevettersstraat 137
1000 Brussels

(talk will be held in english)

Lately I've been doing more #SelfHosting again due to the current situation. Of course, I'm paying particular attention to power consumption and noise. After good experiences with the #ARM64 architecture, even with power-hungry applications such as Mastodon, I'm now using the smartphone technology for my homeservers, too.

There are #SBCs with more open hardware, but the #RaspberryPi is widely available, well documented, powerful and inexpensive. And it is available with up to 16 GB of RAM.

Anyone operating a server on the Internet must install #security updates quickly. However, many people forget to restart running software so that the new version runs instead of the old one. The #needrestart tool helps with this on Debian-based Linux systems, which unfortunately is usually not pre-installed.

On my Raspberry Pi 4, needrestart always runs correctly (automatically after apt upgrade). On my Raspberry Pi 5, however, I first had to create a configuration file as described by the main developer here:
github.com/liske/needrestart/b
Previously, the tool always claimed that a reboot was necessary because it thought an outdated Linux kernel was running.

Next, I want to activate #LUKS hard drive encryption on both raspis. Unfortunately, this is not as easy under #Raspbian or #RaspberryPiOS as on other Debian systems. If you have managed this: Please let me know how you did it!

Okay, authentik is up! Took a while, I was fighting against flux and the helm release because it deployed with the wrong StorageClass (I forgot to have that configuration ready before release.) Helm wasn't able to modify the PVC because they're immutable, updating the release has to wait for the initial release to succeed (which it won't) or timeout and flux is quiet on the reasons for all of this unless you know where to look 😔 lots of learning was had though!

Anyway, admin and personal user accounts created, MFA enabled. Got my first application integrated too! (actual budget)

What next? The world is my oyster... Probably gitea or semaphore. I'm hesitant to integrate services like jellyfin before I have more users onboarded and this gives me an opportunity to experiment with other edge cases like other providers and service accounts and such
