There are a lot of options that aren’t nix. Ansible, chef, puppet, salt, etc. Basically any config management solution.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve dealt with so many servers where someone ran chmod -R 777 / thinking it’d solve all of their permission issues.

Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

What about Nextcloud? It’s heavier than syncthing, but would be an alternative.

I went through a bunch before settling on Kanboard. If you try kanboard, there are some plugins/themes to make it look nicer.

In the end though, I ended up moving away from it. Would be curious what you end up using!

I really like it. I don’t use it for much, but it’s super easy to have multiple servers in multiple locations and let it take care of replication.

It seemed like it was built more for the self hosting and homelab crowd and not enterprises.

But that’s also something easily programmed/scripted. How would you tell the difference?

Yep, you can install it directly on the proxmox host too.

Just make sure you test it and also test upgrades so you can avoid having to be on-site for those.

I dont remember the name of it, but there were tools that could store issues inside of git. It’d be hard to keep it in sync with everybody without a central repo, but maybe not much harder than keeping the code in sync too.

Lemmy is all public. There’s no private timelines, so any 2way block would be superficial anyway right? A blocked user can just log out, or use a different account on a different instance. It’d give people a false sense of security if anyone said bidirectional blocking was a thing.

Something like Twitter could have bidirectional blocking because you can also make all of your posts private.

Who (which single entity) would host this new front page?

Is it a single server? Maybe something like sops is all you need

There’s an oss fork of vault now as well. Openbao.

I forgot about librewolf. Any downsides to it over Firefox?

Any idea how it knows which sites to look through? It’d be cool to have it prefer your own home instance in results.

Without knowing the context… make sure you report people who truly are bullying. Some instances may not do anything, but a lot do care and don’t tolerate bullying and harassment.

One of the lemmy devs is also working on a federated wiki. On mobile, so no link, but i think it’s Ibis?

Would you prefer something limited to searching federated content, or something closer to yacy where it crawls normal websites too?

I’m happy to see people post about something cool they found, like some new software or whatever. Even if everyone else already knows about it and no one interacts, it’s not useless information.

I’d be curious if schools still teach kids how to look things up in books, or if writing reports is now a thing they ask chatgpt to do

Thanks for sharing your scripts. Could you create an account in firefly-iii that is just the overall value and have a script that takes the balance from ghostfolio and updates it in firefly-iii?

For Plaid, I went through the process to apply for “production” access and get oauth access to most banks. It really wasn’t bad at all. I basically just said I was going to use it for personal use, not selling anything, and not letting others use it. I haven’t used it much, but did get it approved relatively quickly.
