Having run minor projects using PocketBase before and also seen what PocketBase itself can do and SQLite configured correctly in general, It’s great. I’ve gotten to be a big fan of it by the years and gladly opt for it over the bigger ones.

If this project got SQLite support it would be a great replacement for my own setup which requires about 3 or 4 accounts. Currently using a proprietary solution and been looking into moving to Authentik but it’s a bit too heavy resource wise for my current servers.

Thank you yet again for doing these! <3

It’s exceptionally well as always!

Homelabbing be like

I heavily agree on this for most people. Sadly books, actual lectures and classes and online tutorials haven’t been working for me before.

It must really fucking suck being a teacher in programming and having invested time into a book or online tutorial/study thing today. I hope EU will legislate AI training.

This was my usecase when learning JS. I’ve always had a very very difficult time with programming and wrapping my head around those types of patterns. But with the help of AI I was able to get a quicker understanding and being able to ask followup questions, explain what different symbols do, nowadays I use it as a basic reference to get a starting point to some solutions while just being well versed enough to approach a lot of things on my own.

I often try to switch around and experiment with different similar and potentially better approaches unless it’s giving me one of those responses that have been the most bogstandard straightforward way of doing it… because of a stackoverflow answer from 12 years ago. But those are often the more simpler queries. But each day I practice my programming I turn to search engines more and more to adapt similar problems to my own so the kickoff of using AI got me to the point where I had a stronger understanding of how things work in a practical learning method that worked really really well for me.

I hate how great AI can be in some use cases while I also am part of the reason for excessive power usage of GPUs :( but I really don’t think I would’ve been able to get as far as I’ve come today without it.

Thank you so much for making these! It’s great to see if there’s anything I’ve missed!

I’ve been with 1984.is for some time as well. They’re international domain is 1984.hosting. I’ve also had contact with their support and they’re friendly, knowledgeable and straight on point.

I had to transfer my domain and they wanted the domain key. Not wanting to send that over insecure email asked if they have a GPG key and told me they do, sent me a link to their site to get it and a specific mail to send it to which I then was able to send over. The process of contacting them and getting everything set was very speedy and I felt in good hands.

Sweet, we’ve started pirating redditors now too

There is not. But I’d say keep SSH closed on the NAS or whitelist only your local IP in the firewall. I do that and turn it off when I don’t need it. It can be a bit risqué messing about with SSH on Synology because of how funky they’ve made the distro it’s running and any changes you make might not persist on reboot or after updates.

It’s basically a front-end GUI to Docker, like how some use Portainer. Synology has pretty alright documentation here. If you’re on mobile, click the menu button on the top right to view the sub-pages for the docs, was confusing at first to find what more it had to say about it lol.

But in short, to spin up individual containers you can go to the “Container” page. But there’s a big lack of control because Synology so I recommend to use Docker Compose under “Projects” for more fine grained control if needed. When you start a project you have to select a location for the project files and you can use dot notation for sub directory and files when doing volume mounting, eg. ./nginx/config:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

There’s a lot to read on for containers in general and working with them on Synology is a tad different and sometimes a lot of hoops to jump through. But it’s definitely nicer in the end than running almost anything outside of Synology’s Office Suite through it!

I’d recommend to make a Dockerfile for it and run it that way. It’ll be quite a lot easier than to manage installing a bunch of dependencies.

Here’s a guide I found pretty good!

Here’s a bit of a shorter one too to get some more reference.

I almost thought some new law was passed about WiFi and Windows Server in whatever country they’re in lmao

No, Njalla is. They have a history of stealing domains and banning users without explaining why and absolutely refuse to look into why a user got banned in the first place. On top of that generally terrible customer support.

I’ve had the complete opposite experience with 1984.hosting, support has been great and they even support GPG keys to one of their emails if you want to keep your inquires encrypted.

1984.hosting has a freely available to use DNS service for domains. They’re a good company that does what Njalla say they do but without the bullshit of stealing peoples domains.

Search is definitely lacking sadly. Unsure if there’s even solid plans to make it much better either.

I don’t do a lot of message searching so luckily for me, it’s not something that bothers me too much.

Matrix seems like a perfect fit for you then!

Sweden’s on their way to doing that. They’re looking into making encrypted chats illegal…

I find your point interesting and I agree to some extent.

When I have people around me that express some type of radical view I usually casually mention a slight disagreement or let it slide because I know going into a debate with me won’t really change much.

However expressing opinions and feelings that are inherently based on hatred or lack of understanding, at least from what history has told, will lead to them being acted upon. Having resenting opinions about LGBT, for example, and grouping up with people with that mindset will probably spiral it into more lack of understanding and stronger opinions against it. Eventually leading to a growing and potentially spreading resentment against it. This extends to religion, skin colour, countries, mental diagnoses or anything else really.

What the “core” is so to speak is about things that people can’t inherently control, being born differently, being born in a certain place, etc.

I wish I could upvote twice, you’re gonna save me so much time.

That’s not misleading, that sites subtitle is just blatantly lying.
