Why I built a homelab: It's not a hobby, it's a profound act of digital literacy and reclaiming ownership.
Building my own infrastructure (like my own "cloud") is how I answer the question: What does it mean to truly understand the systems we rely on? A must-read for anyone interested in autonomy, local AI, or just plain old tinkering.

😅 Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet
｢ The policy, introduced earlier this year, made third-party HDDs from brands like Seagate and WD practically unusable in newer models such as the DS925+, DS1825+, and DS425+ ｣

Oddly struggling with setting up a managed role in CloudNative PG.
- I have a `Secret` in a namespace in my k8s and can base64 decode the password
- I have a `Cluster` in another namespace with a `.spec.managed.roles` that references the secret above
- I can see said role when doing a `psql -c \du;`
- But I can't authenticate with said user and b64 decoded password from the secret.
Am I holding it wrong?
I’m self hosting things, and if I don’t write things down I don’t remember how to do them. So far I’ve been relying on Obsidian for my docs, but I’m really tempted to go with @atuin desktop.
No BS playbooks you can run (so playbooks you keep updated), and that you can store on git? Open source and free? No AI?! It’s almost too good to be true!
｢ ZimaOS is an independently-developed, Linux-based operating system for personal servers and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It features system-level support for remote access, RAID configuration, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and a browser-based user interface for managing the server. It is developed in China by IceWhale Technology Limited, which also produces and sells specialist storage hardware devices called "ZimaCube" ｣
Officially kicked of this year's annual #selfhost user survey this morning. This year's survey consists of ~40 questions across five categories and shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.
I've also included a new form for those who'd like to leave feedback on how I can improve next year's survey!

With recent changes in the #homelab I can ditch Tailscale and have all remote access handled by WireGuard configured on the router. I like it a lot

Ok, I still need a task app to replace google keep
Problem is I have yet to find anything that meets these requirements
I have yet to find something that meets all of these requirements, maybe there has been some polish in the year since I looked last?
#SelfHosted #Homelab
What’s up with mosh? It didn’t receive an update in years, and it seems to be a rather sensitive piece of software. Is it no longer maintained?
I turned a tiny #Mac mini into my own #Mastodon server—secure, low‑maintenance, and running like a dream. Here’s the full build, from #Docker to #Cloudflare Tunnel, and why #SelfHosting doesn’t have to be a headache.
I had k8s on a RasPi and called it tinykube.
I have k8s on a beefier server and called it mightykube.
I want to deploy a test cluster, but for some reason I’m reluctant to call it testikube.
Dear lazyweb!
Does anyone here have enough #kubernetes experience to try and convince me I should use it for managing a fleet of services which are NOT web services?
(My gut feeling is k8s is not designed for this so I'd struggle, but I don't know enough to know what I don't know.)
@HerraBRE What are you expecting form #Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a completely different way of building and managing your infra.
For example, I switched my #homelab from VMs to K8s 2 years ago because I wanted a GitOps approach, immutability, easy observability, L2 load balancers, advanced network policies up to L7, Mesh, HA, and so on.
You can achieve the same with Linux & Containers, but Kubernetes gives you a standardized and opinionated way of doing it.
You LOVE it or HATE it.
Is anyone out there hosting Open Cloud? From what I gathered, it's a fork of ownCloud Infinite Scale, that was itself a Go rewrite of ownCloud.
I could use something more lightweight, focused, and easy to host on Kubernetes than Nextcloud.
How easy it is to host? How reliable is it? How good are the mobile apps?
