Sounds pretty cool, thanks for the details! Any chance of some pictures? My worry would be the same, I don't know if I trust myself not to flood the house lol
I did think about using a mechanical float like in the back of a toilet, and an overflow drain in case it never stops filling
Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven't tried homebox to compare yet though
Kanboard is pretty great even if it does feel dated. I tried a lot of the newer alternatives and they all had either weird bugs or quirks I didn't appreciate.
Why mtls support specifically? You could use any web based notes app (with PWA) and have the web server / reverse proxy handle the mtls part.
Eh while it sucks, registrars and web hosts get so many abuse reports that sometimes they just err on the side of caution and don't investigate as thoroughly as you'd like.
Of course it also depends a lot on various things like what type of complaint, how much money you spend with them, account history, complaint source, etc.
They should be able to tell you what they had a problem with and give you a chance to fix it.
Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what's the name is it? I'd be interested in details either way
I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(
Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.
The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.
rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don't think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.
You could tell them you're working on legendary sets for each alt
One problem is the lack of alternative transport options. In most of the US, public transport just isn't a thing. And things are too far apart for cycling to be efficient for commutes, grocery shopping, etc.
I hope that changes some day though.
If you're wanting something that keeps historical data, vnstat is another good one for network usage
Any idea if there's a fork of Nomad and Consul?
Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though
Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.
I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.
I'm not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It'd be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.
From your list, I'd go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.
Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.
I like rsync.net. They offer reduced pricing for using restic/borg too.
I'm not sure how many years I've used them, but I never had any issues. The speeds also seem better than at least b2.
What's everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?
My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.
So far, I've looked at and tested:
- Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
- Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
- LLDAP - I'd be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn't solve the whole problem
- Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn't support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
- Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I've had the most trouble with it so far and can't even compare the actual config yet

> # Welcome!
> Welcome to Lemmy (on whichever server you're reading this)
>
> # About Lemmy
> Lemmy is a federated platform for news aggregagtion / discussion. It's being developed by the Lemmy devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet
>
> ## About Federation
> What does this federation mean?
>
> It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact.
>
> - You can search and view communities on remote servers from here
> - You can create posts in remote communities
> - You can respond to remote posts
> - You will be notified (if you wish) of comments on your remote posts
> - You can follow Lemmy users/communities on other platforms that also use Activitypub (like Mastodon, Calckey etc) (There's currently a known issue with that, see here
>
> Please note that a server only starts indexing a server/community once it has been interacted with by a user of this server.

> # About Lemmy.world
> Lemmy.world is one of the many servers hosting the Lemmy software. It was started on June 1st, 2023 by @ruud@lemmy.world , who is also running https://mastodon.world, https://calckey.world and others.
>
> A list of Lemmy servers and their statistics can be found at FediDB
>
>
> # Quick start guide
>
> ## Account
>
> You can use your account you created to log in to the server on which you created it. Not on other servers. Content is federated to other servers, users/accounts are not.
>
> ## Searching
> In the top menu, you'll see the search icon. There, you can search for posts, communities etc.
>
> !
>
> You can just enter a search-word and it will find the Post-titles, post-content, communities etc containing that word that the server knows of. So any content any user of this server ever interacted with.
>
> You can also search for a community by it's link, e.g. !Netherlands@lemmy.nl. Even if the server hasn't ever seen that community, it will look it up remotely. Sometimes it takes some time for it to fetch the info (and displays 'No results' meanwhile..) so just be patient and search a second time after a few seconds.
>
> ## Creating communities
> First, make sure the community doesn't already exist. Use search (see above). Also try https://browse.feddit.de/ to see if there are remote communities on other Lemmy instances that aren't known to Lemmy.world yet.
>
> If you're sure it doesn't exist yet, go to the homepage and click 'Create a Community'.
>
> !
>
> It will open up the following page:
>
> !
>
> Here you can fill out:
>
> - Name: should be all lowercase letters. This will be the /c/
> - Display name: As to be expected, this will be the displayed name.
> - You can upload an icon and banner image. Looks pretty.
> - The sidebar should contain things like description, rules, links etc. You can use Markdown (yey!)
> - If the community will contain mainly NSFW content, check the NSFW mark. NSFW is allowed as long as it doesn't break the rules
> - If you only want moderators to be able to post, check that checkbox.
> - Select any language you want people to be able to post in. Apparently you shouldn't de-select 'Undetermined'. I was told some apps use 'Undetermined' as default language so don't work if you don't have it selected
>
> ## Reading
>
> I think the reading is obvious. Just click the post and you can read it. SOmetimes when there are many comments, they will partly be collapsed.
>
> ## Posting
>
> When viewing a community, you can create a new post in it. First of all make sure to check the community's rules, probably stated in the sidebar.
>
> !
>
> In the Create Post page these are the fields:
>
> - URL: Here you can paste a link which will be shown at the top of the post. Also the thumbnail of the post will link there. Alternatively you can upload an image using the image icon to the right of the field. That image will also be displayed as thumbnail for the post.
> - Title: The title of the post.
> - Body: Here you can type your post. You can use Markdown if you want.
> - Community: select the community where you want this post created, defaults to the community you were in when you clicked 'create post'
> - NSFW: Select this if you post any NSFW material, this blurs the thumbnail and displays 'NSFW' behind the post title.
> - Language: Specify in which language your post is.
>
> Also see the Lemmy documentation on formatting etc.
>
> ## Commenting
>
> ## Moderating / Reporting
>
> ## Client apps
>
> There are some apps available or in testing. See this post for a list!
>
> # Issues
> When you find any issue, please report so here: https://lemmy.world/post/15786 if you think it's server related (or not sure).
>
> Report any issues or improvement requests for the Lemmy software itself here: https://github.com/LemmyNet
> ## Known issues
> Known issues can be found in the beforementioned post, one of the most annoying ones is the fact that post/reply in a somewhat larger community can take up to 10 seconds. It seems like that's related to the number of subscribers of the community.
>
> I'll be looking into that one, and hope the devs are too.
Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?
My backups are relatively simple in that I use rsync to pull everything from remote machines to a single server and then run restic on that server to back them up and also copy that backup to cloud storage.
I've been looking at some other software again like Bacula/Bareos/UrBackup and wondering if anyone's currently using one of them or something like it that they like?
Ideally I'm looking for a more user-friendly polished interface for managing backups across multiple servers and desktops/laptops. I'm testing Bareos now, but it'll probably not work out since the web ui doesn't allow adding new jobs/volumes/etc.
