Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don’t appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it’s just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo…

Yeah, I was younger then, perhaps less disciplined, and as always, given enough work you can decompile or regenerate anything. Still, I contend, the nature of Perl, powerful as it was, lent itself to unmaintainable messes, and I’m not talking regex’s, which is why it has faded, no amount of get gud withstanding.

I upvoted you because I consider Perl write only (used to know it, now it inspires readable code as a high priority)

Eh, that moment when you get a different error message tho ;)

Great to hear!

Not sure, but it is still active with like 80 contributors. It’s much the same as the original with a couple of extra features and more languages, so transition should be minimally painful, maybe even export - import level. I’ve been using it for years as I saw the original wasn’t very active, but they’re pretty much (essential) feature complete and stable, which is good. Apparently, google thinks that’s bad.

Syncthing-Fork (F-Droid)

As noted elsewhere Syncthing-Fork is still going strong, and a drop-in replacement, it’s on F-Droid.

This looks promising. Not sure if fully baked yet, was going to circle back to it in a month or two. If you try, let me know…

rclone supports lots of services

including Proton Drive …

Absitively, use case here IMO is set and forget autoupdate to stay current and SELinux (which actually reduces surface)

For a media server speed matters little (5400rpm is plenty), if you’ve only got one drive, warranty is king. Thing is you shouldn’t only have one drive, drives will fail, and warranty doesn’t get your data back, so you plan for it. At the very least, you should look at getting an offline backup as soon as possible, now you don’t care if your drive fails and can get the cheapest ones. Ideally, you also set up a RAID5 (or Unraid, or mergerfs+SnapRAID) on your server, now you just get a replacement drive and rebuild. Remember RAID is not a backup, it doesn’t protect against accidental deletions for example, so you still want the offline backup.

Also, don’t sleep on manufacturer recertified drives, as long as you have a backup they’re significantly more cost-effective.

TLDR: set yourself up so that a drive failing is not a problem.

I was here to say the same as pezhore, separating storage and compute is almost as important as separating church and state. Muck around, break things, have fun, all the while your data is safe (don’t forget offline backups though). The MS-01 is a fine looking box, but any old NUC / SFF will do for your purposes (modern AMD cpu or a graphics card if you need / want plex transcode).

Edit to add, old laptops are great compute nodes (maybe moreso from my ex corporate thinkpad laptop bias, but still)…

So, no-one’s mentioned tailscale. If it’s just for you, or some select friends, it’s probably the least friction to get secure access to your home network. Still, gotta check your threat matrix, do you really need it, is it really worth it for that occasional, maybe hypothetical usage ? Least access is best security…

Good to know, for such a simple thing, it’s amazing that notes hasn’t found a simple winner.

How’s that going, compared to Joplin or Standard Notes ?

You’re not wrong, but here we are, talking open source and GPL licences. If you can make a game portal work, or the web in general, it’s viable, your ISP is a choke point though, agreed. Was more talking about an easy stack like the 'arrs, but for webrings, just an idea…
