Matrix won’t necessarily download all state/messages automatically, but if your client requests a non-available message your matrix server will query other matrix servers for it (backfilling).

E.g. if you scroll up to older messages, it might take a a few seconds but your client should eventually show them.

Matrix server use a back-off for servers sending messages, so if your server is offline for many hours, it might take a day for your servers to get messages pushed to by other servers again.

Given it seems to be a single guy doing his thing I don’t expect them to get bought out.

It’s a great service and incredibly cheap. With advanced pricing I’m only paying ~0,40€ per month. My domain + purelymail is less than I’d pay for other providers email only.

Edit: If Amazon increases their prices they’ll have to pass it on, but those should be pretty consistent. If you use your own domain (or an alias service) switching email providers is simple anyway.

Mindfactory is selling Factory Recertified Seagate Exos and Ironwolf Pro.

They were also reportedly one of the shops (unknowingly) selling used HDDs with SMART values reset as new.

A project ending as abandonware is always a possibility. One reason projects get abandoned is losing funding, which can be secured by using dual licensing and selling some features to businesses.

They use AGPL so even if they broke their promise and restricted features, it could still be developed further (even if no new features got added). NGINX also uses a dual license.

It’s sad to hear about his passing. His videos about the Pi3 were great for me at the time. It’s been about 8 years and looking at the thumbnails of his videos brings back memories.

Notable mention of Mozilla being a Platinum sponsor.

For no particular reason, except for btrfs taking up less RAM. I don’t know their specs, but the lack of RAM was my reason for deciding against btrfs for my large non-mirrored HDD.

I personally really like btrfs for my large media HDD because it makes copying large files an instantaneous operation.

Also, it’s useful to have 6 hourly snapshots in case *arr upgrades something or anything else happens (btrbk).

It’s not necessary almost any time, but the times I needed it a CoW FS with snapshots came in handy.

Edit: Also, btrfs does check summing, so it’s possible to detect bit rot.

Because YouTube pays Louis Rossmann, compared to selfhosting video which costs tremendous amounts of money through bandwidth.

I remember taking my first selfhosting/Linux steps a year or so after the launch of Let’s Encrypt with a Pi 3. At the time, most tutorials didn’t set up https at all, and if they did, they were self signed certificates (resulting in browser warnings).

Self-signed certificates are annoying and creating them was a series of copy pasting long, weird commands, usually using long exspiration dates (manual renewing sucks).

Not long after, guides started recommending certbot. Nowadays reverse proxys like caddy set up TLS automatically.

At least that’s how I remember it, given my complete lack of knowledge about Linux at the time.

I’m not the creator of the survey, but I’ve just send them the link to this discussion on Mastodon, so they can take the feedback into account.

Thanks for the correction. It’s a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won’t see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.

Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.

Edit: The survey wasn’t created by me, I just shared it.

There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

Yes, there’s many ways to make programs unable to use other network interfaces. E.g. I’m creating a network namespace with a single wg0 interface, which I make services use through systemd NetworkNamespacePath.

That said, I’d argue gluetun is pretty much foolproof, especially with most people using docker which messes with iptables (edit: although I don’t know if this’d be an issue for this use case).

Yeah, I’m not sure whether Bitwarden always had support for exporting the vault on mobile, but it’s an awesome feature.

I personally would be hesitant to host Immich publicly until they’ve done a security audit. The risk of accidentally exposing my photos publicly is too big for me.

That’s why I recommend using Tailscale or Wireguard directly. Personally I’m using Wireguard for me and Tailscale for other people I want to easily access my services.

It’s an annoying change for anyone using discord to share files outside of it’s closed platform but doesn’t affect most people.

I wonder whether bridges for matrix have to be fixed or if they’re already editing messages bridged to matrix to the new url.
