Well, firstly I had this weird issue where the pools were giving me errors because some folder was missing, I fixed that but 24.10 has literally 0 compatibility with apps from 24.04 and it looks like I’m going to have to reset the whole pool in order to use their new apps ecosystem (because trying to install anything from 24.10 just errors out)… Which is extremely annoying as I have quite a lot of apps setup

I’m going through hell, trying to update from truenas scale 24.04 to 24.10

Mullvad all the way

nearly everything, you don’t need a static ip to selfhost, look up DDNS :>

I’m trying to figure out why truenas scale refuses to auto start virtual machines… Other than that everything’s smooth atm :>

EndeavorOS -> good

Manjaro -> Bad

You’re welcome 🤗

PuTTY or just SSH

Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍

AntiX or Alpine

Obligatory regex was a mistake post

No.

Yeh, you’re right

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk

You don’t need to be a programmer to selfhost.

The most important “skills” to have if you want to selfhost imo are:

• Basic Networking knowledge

• Basic Linux knowledge

• Basic docker/docker compose knowledge

But I’d say to not get lost in the papers and just jump right in. Imo, the best way to learn how to selfhost is to just… Do it. Most everything is free and fairly well documented

Aw yep, bought an old HP pro-lient something something with 2 old-ass intel xeons and 64GB ram for practically nothing. Thing’s been great. It’s a bit loud but runs anything I throw at it.

Who needs to remember commands when the shell can type them out for you :)

(Genuinely recommend it, it’s been my daily driver for years)

ddccontrol… it looks complicated on the surface but it’s really not and being able to control monitor brightness without fcking around in some garbage monitor OSD is a god sent and should be the standard

+1

I really don’t care about the configuration, as long as all the data is safe
