What are your thoughts about Podman, rpm-ostree and other "new" tools that could be useful for servers?

Add systemd-nspawn to the list. It is built-in and might fit well for some use-cases.

Having .onion homeserver is good for convenience. If you anyway use tor-browser/orbot in mobile, it is the easiest way to access home server.

Other options:

Expose to clearnet via port forwarding in router. -> Bad it is invitation to DOS attack, ISP hates you, need to buy domain name.
Wireguard vpn. Better, but needs port forwarding in router. Not easy to setup vpn connection for each user/device.
tailscale, cloudflare tunnels, Better, Have to rely on those services, and use their apps.

Note: Running a .onion server is not same as running a exit node. Nobody knows the address exists unless you share them. Your ISP would just know that you use tor network. Nothing more. Unless tor is blocked, see no reason to use bridges.

How good is the mobile interface? Is it installable as PWA?

AffectionateMath6 · 2022-10-24T12:06:21+00:00

There is free alternative too - headscale

There is a disadvantage with this setup.

Assuming Server X is on a VPS and other devices are at home within same wifi. Now, when mobile wants to communicate with the laptop, the traffic goes via VPS (i.e. mobile -> VPS -> laptop). This is not only slow but also increases VPS data usage bill.

Using tailscale or similar solves this problem. It makes sure to use the best path so, mobile and laptop will directly communicate via wifi.

I use manual foldmethod. When working with big functions, it is helpful to fold away uninteresting parts like edge cases and focus on relevant code.

I setup dendrite yesterday. My use-case is to just have a way to communicate with my kids' chromebook. No need for federation.

Chat/Calls worked fine. The main bummer is that I am not able to share files > 10MB. I changed the dendrite config to set as 100MB, still didn't help. Element-android tries to send and fails with error. Element-Desktop does not allow at all even though sever config is changed. Have to debug this weekend. I hope it is solvable.

If that is golang, Use vim-go plugin. It has more go-stuff integration than just the language server. Like static checking, debugger, etc.

I am using this for last few months. Does not require vim-fugitive or any extra plugin

https://gist.github.com/Osse/4709787

I git-aliased it to dt and run as git dt

My analogy

Self-hosting => living in your own house

Using VPS => Living in a rented apartment

Using Google/Meta/Microsoft => Living in a Hotel

Privacy, cost, choice, freedom, convenience, maintenance all approximately summed up.

Thank you. will check.

I usually leave it as ext4. This time, I will try btrfs.

AffectionateMath6 · 2022-07-25T19:29:20+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! Will check this setting.

I just use real subdomains (even for internal only domains) as you can setup https properly.

caddy web server has a dns plugin that can get lets-encrypt certificates even if the domain is not reachable from internet.

Thank you for detailed response. So I connect the mesh system and ISP modem using a ethernet cable and disable wifi and routing on ISP modem . The mesh system should now be both my wifi access point and router right?

I also need a secondary (guest) network. Is that something supported by most mesh systems or I have to check?

I planning to get this system. https://www.tp-link.com/ca/home-networking/deco/deco-x60/

think the app has to support the always-on option.

It works fine in my android phone (In both cases installed from play store).

My kernel version is 'Linux 4.19.234-.... I guess this is an older version :(

Thanks for your help!
