I know that AI is a controversial topic on here. Same reservations as most: copyright, energy, junior roles eaten, the slop epidemic. Not pretending those are not real.

But "I won't touch it" is a competitive handicap in 2026. I engage carefully: human in the loop, my name on every paragraph.

The tiered stack I actually run, with the local Mistral on a laptop iGPU getting most of the space because that is the part with craft in it.

Sooo, exploring options for getting IP connectivity to my home "datacenter". I can do BGP peering, which is alright for IPv6 since there's plenty and it's basically for free for a /56. But the minimum allocation for IPv4 BGP peering is a /24, which goes for around a thousand euros these days (+/- 500) I've been told. Plus, I only need 3, at most 4 IPv4 addresses. Seems like a waste to get a /24 then... OTOH it might be a good investment for my pension plan :)

Tough one. I could just get a VPS or something somewhere with 3 IPv4 adresses and tunnel that back home, but there is something about owning your own IP ranges, being less dependent on a single provider and all that.

Choices, choices.

Any thoughts oh wise fediverse?

As of yesterday we have fiber to our little patch in the forest. This means I no longer rely on a crappy 4G uplink and can move on to the next phase of my digital independency journey: set up a makeshift #permacomputing "datacenter" in the barn made out of old laptops and move all my services from a fancy server in a datacenter somewhere to that.

New ISP. I need a dedicated IP to open all the ports on my router. So naturally I call them on the phone. It goes like this...

Operator: Hello, how can we help you?

Me: Hello, I need a dedicated IP to open up all of my ports on my router.

Operator: Sure, can we call you back on this number?

Me: Yeah, no problem.

Operator: Ok, so have a nice day!

Me: Thanks, you too!

Now tell me... Why isn't every damn ISP working like this? You need something, they don't hide it behind a shitty fee you have to pay or just ragebait you on the phone. They get the job done.

Last few days, I've been setting up my Google Drive and Photos replacement on a VPS server with some help from a friend.

Penny said last night I was talking in my sleep, stuff like "formatting the hard drive" and other stuff. Almost like I was telling someone stuff I was doing in ssh. #Selfhosting #nerdBowl 🤓

Good morning Fedi friends!

Monday morning ritual: doing maintenance on my #YunoHost systems (I have two separate installations).

I prefer to do things directly in terminal now... and I forgot how to run updates in tmux, so what to do? Oh I can simply refer to MY OWN blog post about this, LOL:

https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-5-upgrades-maintenance/

Yes, I published a #selfhosting guide for newbies... but also as a reminder to myself 😅​

Wishing you all a great day / week. I'll be in Amsterdam later this week for #PubConf2026 - looking forward to it!

My mastodon instance had a short downtime earlier. This was caused by a power cut.

Which in turn was caused by me stupidly cutting a power cable with my hedge trimmer (thus triggering the main fuse to trip). Oops 😬

The dangers of #selfhosting when one is a bit clumsy I suppose 😁

#homelab maintenance complete. I finally configured unattended-upgrades on the Ubuntu servers - I'd put that off far too long.

#technitium cluster also upgraded to 15.2.

Other small items was changing repo locality to GB and setting the correct timezone.

New post: Two Sites, One Cluster.

Two cheap Hetzner boxes, one in Nuremberg and one in Helsinki, fused into a single Proxmox VE cluster over vSwitch VLANs. VXLAN overlay for the guests, an external QDevice so two nodes can still hold quorum, BGP-driven OPNsense failover, and async ZFS replication.

The corosync link sits at 25ms RTT, five times what Proxmox wants. It works anyway, and the post is honest about exactly why, and when it wouldn't.

Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without the going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?

I've been running two degraded ZFS arrays for the last few weeks (Debian host).

Yeah, I know. Whatevs.

One of the pools was basically "scratch" backup space and one of the spindles died (breaking the utility of the mirror). Pulled the drive, wiped the remaining, put back in service with minimum fuss as a single drive. I'll throw another spindle at it when drive prices drop again.

The other array had the SSD cache die and it's been chugging along fine ever since. Not a big deal, but from a "experience" point of view it "feels slow" like a working md array.

New SSD arrived in the mail so that'll get sorted sometime today/tomorrow.

So, what's this post about?

Linux peeps, if you are thinking about md arrays, just stop, take the time, and throw 'yer leg over the zfs horse. It's worth it.

#SelfHosting tools I rely on and am very happy with (and I'll probably put on repeat to remind people):

• Pangolin: I have a tiny Hetzner VPS with it that fronts all my #SelfHosted in-house services so I can access them remotely
• Beszel: Monitoring of my servers, simple, shows me exactly the stats that I'm interested in

I'm looking for a simple web based chat app that I can selfhost . I'd prefer something with voice chat but I need to keep bandwidth low. IRC may be too key-board heavy for this use case

suggestions are welcome

The convenience of synchronisation between devices are the most common argument that I hear from friends why they are so invested in the respective walled gardens. But the same advantages can be obtained with old well-tested and open standards. Example: get an SMS with e-mail, add it to contacts and then have it autocomplete in @thunderbird@mastodon.online connecting to whichever mail provider your heart desires, thanks to the magic of CardDAV and IMAP. No need for Giant Mail :)

I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.

#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.

My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

I'm thinking about self hosted / community hosted printables / thingyverse lookalikes for sharing models. Does this exist?

How hard would it be to build this as a feature in forgejo? Thinking about a very extended /explore/repos page that can filter repos by a type/tag ("this repo is a 3d model"). I guess it's not possible to organize repos using tags or categories? Plus an integrated stl previewer, which should be easy.

Just received an email from my mail server administrator. They sent me a link to change my password because it's 'insecure'.

My ISP was kind enough to give me a learning opportunity in how I can manage access to my homelab. While access to #selfhosting can't be in my place by definition, I can at least have it on a VPS from a local company to resist monopolies :)

I'm running Forgejo in a container now to isolate SSH access, but I also had it installed directly for some time.

This is what I use now, after #selfhosting Apache SVN, Perforce, Tuleap, RhodeCode, Phorge and Gitea so far.

Live location is very sensitive data, but #selfhosting the server with TLS and basic authentication gives me more privacy than the big tech cloud. And it only needed reading a bit of MDN and making a basic #Docker image based on #NodeJS

This time it's #Debian with #Docker. I used to avoid containers, preferring to run services directly instead. But setting up backups made me appreciate the separation between the application data in image and persistent state in mounted volumes. The final piece that convinced me is the ability to self-host my own container registry with @forgejo@floss.social

I'm doing the initial setup through #Ansible (learned from @notthebee@tilde.zone), but specific applications are managed via dockge. The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.
