Self-hosting is rising because Linux users refuse to wait for permission.
Self-hosting is rising because Linux users refuse to wait for permission.
The end of an era - I cancelled my colo service for my #SelfHost server last week, as I have enough bandwidth at home to run everything in the "#HomeLab".
I've had a colo server for over 20 years (2 different 1U servers, and both have been pretty reliable.
First it was in Telehouse London, then a dudes garage in Maidenhead, which then morphed into Pulsant in Maidenhead.
It taught me good discipline about upgrading things remotely, and keeping an eye on security, as it was over 100miles away, which would have been a right PITA to fix if a reboot failed.
By the time I turned this one off, its uptime was over 800 days.
Thank you for your service, little server 🙏
I'm not sure what im going to do with it now, apparently the RAID controller only supports up to 2TB drives, and it's really noisy.
The previous one was the cheapest SuperMicro one I could find at the time, which was ~£800.
I got this one free from @bobbycc, whos work was chucking it out, so it's been well used - Thanks, I appreciate it!
There's nothing physically wrong with it though... 😢

The new hard drives for my NAS (Network Attached Storage) build have arrived. Two WD (Western Digital) RED 8TB. I will go shopping now after unpacking, so they can adapt to room temperature for a few hours before I install them and power them up. Never forget that step! Wait until they have reached room temperature. And then wait a few hours more. When you spin them up too early, they might get damaged. Don't ask why I know ;)
@Codeberg my problem ain't #scrapers - otherwise I'd #SelfHost my stuff in my own home LAN - but rather #bots flooding #Issues and #PullRequests with garbage.
The problem I dread is once people start abusing their " #AI" #bullshit and #FloodTheZoneWithShit aka. " #AIslop" for no good reason.
- Kinda like @bagder had to deal with "AI" slop #SecurityReports that didn't even try to show #ProofOfConcept or actually evidence their claims in a scientifically reproduceable fashion but merely wasted lifetime of maintainers!
And @Erpel 's original issue is just that: #spam in the #IssueTracker...
@Erpel because the spammers are assholes?
I wished @Codeberg had some #AI #bot / #blocklist feature to flatout block #spammers and #bots cuz given the fact that #GitHub refuses to allow blocking #Copilot, this may be the straw to move the projects over there if I can't be assed to #SelfHost and merely abude GitHub as a #CDN!
Which I certainly would intent…

Released the results of my annual #selfhost user survey this morning. Over 4,000 responses and a ton of interesting insights!
Congrats to @homeassistant for once again earning the top spot as users' favorite software 🚀

Today I discovered iCloud downloader - a CLI tool that can sync photos from iCloud to a local folder: https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader
I’m now willing to set up #Immich and duplicate my photos there to know it better and see if it fits my needs.

Hello fediverse!
I'm a small yet powerful git forge. Download one binary, launch it and you have a forge that can :
- create git repositories
- manage who can access to what repositories
Nothing more, nothing less.
Install plugins and you will be able to:
- create issues, roadmap, sprint, milestone…
- represent them in boards
- review/merge branches (called grafts in gitroot)
- represent them all and many more in a web interface
I am young, very young (version 0.3.0) but i will grow, especially if you help me. Follow me to keep in touch.

Why gitroot is different? Why the need to build another forge? Just 2 concepts I have not found in all other forges:
- no database + no api == no vendor locking, your data is just aside your code. By data I mean: users, branches rights but also issues, boards and pipelines... Clone your repo all your data is on your computer, mirror to another forge (preferably @Codeberg 😍) and you have a backup.
- simple at start, grow only if needed == plugin based, you want to do a simple static blog: use only apex plugin. You want a full forge install ladybug, silo, grafter, pollen plugins and many more. Don't waste your server resources with unused features.
This 2 concepts drive the code every day. It's not simple (to code) but at the end of every day I'm happy with a simple (to use) forge.
This 2 concepts permit to do more with less and that is exactly what I want for my forge.
Something not clear here or in https://gitroot.dev please ask here, in DM, at contact@gitroot.dev, or in issues and I will try to explain.
