Sometimes we get so engrossed in what we're doing we can't see the problem(s). I do that a lot, so I have take a break. Same with creating music. You get so deaf to what you are trying to write that nothing sounds good no matter what you do. In the words of Snoop Dog, 'I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down. Tanqueray and chronic, yeah, I'm fucked up now.'
Take a break.
The computer I'm using currently, I set the BIOS in 2012. WHen I built it, I stuffed every last piece of cutting edge tech of the time into it. Dual CPU, SLI, started with 64gb ram then later on maxed the board out at 128gb. It's still a workhorse tho. It's one of the three I use all the time for music production, selfhosting etc.
Oh, I've just been tinkering around with LangFlow specifically as a news aggregator.
The flow: https://i.imgur.com/5HqznQm.png
Then asking AI to go get me some news: https://i.imgur.com/ltZPBwC.png
Still needs a little tinkering and as the final step, to send said news stories to my Telegram. I really have a blast with automation platforms like N8N, Flowise, Gotify, DopplerTask, & Kestra.
Afterwards, I smoked a small bowl and worked on a couple songs I have in the works.
HBU?
I've heard a lot of good things about Ghost. I see a lot of bloggers running it. I'm not a blogger and I doubt anyone would be interested in what I had to say...lol...so I don't have experience in that area. However, Ghost seems to be the ticket for bloggers. It integrates with thousands of services and some really great theme templates. If I were going to start a blog, that's what I would go with. Jeremy over at Noted.lol has a write up about it and iirc, he uses Ghost for Noted.lol itself.
I really like tailscale. I had a little bit of a task getting it to run along side my daily driver VPN, but all is well now. For something so easy to implement, it gives the user a lot of protection.
Thank you kindly. I'll check them out.
I guess old habits die hard. After using nano for so long, vim frustrates me. I recognize it as superior, it's just something I never really pursued. Plus I use MobaXTerm which bridges the gap in that it has built in editors that would be more in line with Vim.
Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?
Whatever solution(s) you come up with, you are going to have to address security at some point, to keep all the good stuff in, and all the baddies out....and there are millions of baddie bots just dying to get to your server to set up an xmrig-monero mining operation on your server. They don't share in the profits either....lol.
So, while you are figuring out infrastructure, don't overlook security.
To be honest, that was the only thing I could scrape up. At the very least, I figured if it wasn't readily usable, it would give you some ideas of how to cobble together something along the same lines to solve your issue. Other options were using proprietary apps like FoneBackup, etc.
Cheers
LOL! It's a real product tho. I'm struggling to get through 32 oz. I guess I don't have the use case of someone like Diddy.
Would this work: https://github.com/johannesschiessl/Goodnotes-Backup
entirety of my network to a third party tool that I don’t know that well.
Understandable.
But I’m not very comfortable giving 100% access to Tailscale to my internal network
Out of curiosity, why are you uncomfortable with Tailscale?
I think for now, I will just be a part of what is already here. Maybe later I may entertain the idea.
I can definitely sing the praises of Proxmox. One of the three businesses I run from home uses a piece of software called BlueBeam. Feature for feature, I've not been able to find an opensource alternative. So I spin up a Windows VM with Proxmox for BlueBeam. I also run quite a few of the helper scripts, tho I am really keeping an eye on that. There seems to be diverging opinions among the devs on how things should operate. I also run a couple of small AI projects on Proxmox, so yea....it gets a work out. For what Proxmox can do, I was honestly surprised that the community edition was free. That's an awesome piece of software.
This one always makes me giggle and think of this.
Do you have persistent IPtables then?
counters that periodically reset,
Yes, reading comprehension on my part. Doh!
homepage
I liked Homepage. Very customizable, very well presented package and the UI is nice. I know, if you are running the *arr stack, it does a lot of interfacing with those apps. Not exclusively the *arr stack as it can interface with ProxMox to show how many VMs you're running and load/CPU etc.
Samba was not designed to be containerized.
There are some things that shouldn't be containerized even tho they can be. I can see the benefit of a user wanting to containerize everything....it's one neat little package. I look at on a case by case basis. For instance, Caddy I installed on bare metal instead of a container even tho there is one for Caddy.
