Also been using namecheap for years with no complaints. Boring and dependable.

I love mealie as well. My wife and I keep all our recipes in mealie.

I’ve been working on some bash scripts to help manage my media files. I’ve been slowly working on learning more bash and I’m pretty pleased with my progress. After I finish this bash book I’m reading (can’t remember the title atm), I think I’m gonna jump into awk.

This. Enter your su password and have a look at the logs. Likely something you can fix without tooucj trouble. I’ve run into this a few times over the years and I’ve always been able to figure out and fix the problem based on the logs.

Edit: removed incorrect instruction.

PurelyMail is what I use. It’s been great so far. I’ve been using it for over a year for this exact use case.

I’ve a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It’s not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.

Recently set up OliveTin on a pi zero w for some automation scripts I wan to be able to trigger from my mobile. I’m loving it.

Agree. I’d be nervous about it too. Mullenweg seems pretty unhinged at this point.

You’re not wrong. Again, my logic for that the crazy person is on the warpath towards other hosting companies. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn’t update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.

Mullenweg isn’t going to do that to his own company. I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and I would steer clear of wordpress.com. My previous comment pointing towards .com is dumb.

Mullenweg owns wordpress.com. It’s arguably the only safe place to host WordPress since it’s his company and while he seems willing to burn all goodwill down to the ground for wordpress open source, hes (probably) not going to burn his own company and cash cow to the ground.

I mean, it’s not a great option, and I may be stupid for saying that, but that was my reasoning for saying so.

TBH, I’d just host it myself if I was going to do it.

FWIW, it might be better to avoid wordpress hosting UNLESS you go with hosting from wordpress.com, since there’s kind of an all out war in the wordpress world right now and the fallout to people who just want their websites to work is unknown.

The tl;dr is that Matt Mullenweg, wordpress founder and owner/CEO of Automattic (which is the company that runs wordpress.com), has engaged in a Trumpish crazy war with wordpress hosting engine WPEngine, and in doing so has arbitrarily (in the name of his war) been doing crazy shit with the open source wordpress project.

EDIT: To be clear, I am NOT recommending wordpress.com. My logic in saying what I said above is that Mullenweg is being very hostile towards other hosting companies, specifically WPEngine. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn’t update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.

It’s pretty unlikely that Mullenweg would cut his own for profit wordpress hosting company (wordpress.com) off from wordpress.org (the open source repo for the wordpress software and a vast majority of the plugins). And to be clear, I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and if it were me making this decision, I’d rent a vps and host it myself. It’s really not that difficult.

wg-easy is fabulous! I use it too and I love it

We have a roku TV that has no internet connection. It did when we first got it and didn’t play as much attention to this kind if thing. It’s now a dumb TV that’ll never get internet again. We run everything through an rpi4 running osmc.

I looked at it and did some reading of others experiences, and it looked like a huge pain. I opted for Joplin and haven’t looked back. I self host Joplin server for sync via docker and it’s rock solid.

I love that the client is available on any platform. Is the client a little ugly, and clunky? Yes, but for me it’s not so ugly and clunky that I’ll give up a fully open source self hosted e2ee notes solution.

I’ve been self hosting Joplin in some form for something like six years. Once a year or so I scope out the other options and as of yet I haven’t found another notes solution that I’m willing to switch to.

+1 for wireguard easy. I run it and it’s fantastically easy to use.

Indeed.

I’ve been following Ladybird as well, and hope it comes to fruition. Without it we’re kinda fucked.

Mozilla is on a great tear. Layoffs, pointless rebrand, and now a shit privacy greenwashing search engine partnership. I’m so excited for the future of Firefox.

Good to know!

I haven’t looked at yunohost in years now. It was my first attempt at self hosting, but I realized as soon as I deployed a service with it that I wanted to learn all the details of hosting rather than use a push button sort of setup. No hate at all towards using that, I just realized I wanted to get my hands dirty right away.
