What is wrong with the fork from F-Droid? I use it. I see no difference with the original, I’d say it’s even better. If you don’t trust them for some reason, why discard Syncthing as a project? I assume it can be built then. But I have no idea how.
By the way, I’m happy to use Sushi Train on iPhone. Works very well, and is lovingly polished. Now Syncthing is a centrepiece of my workflow to sync my files.
Have you tried a non-tech solution, like putting the drives into some noise absorbing materials, or isolating the sound with the hard case, things like that? That may sound not really obvious, but my guess is that you can at least get some noise off with a solution like this.
I won’t go with SSDs for a NAS as it’s very expensive. But if money of no concern, that Beelink thing looks impressive.
Thanks for not much, I have never heard of it before.
Did anyone try CLI clients, like (neo)mutt for that? I expect it can be set up on a server (if we consider self-hosting) and do this job automatically. While all the AI thingy feels like magic, my practical experience shows that there are just some keywords or even just the sender, with which mails can be sorted.
Yeah, they did drop a missile without any explosives in Lviv. Just a piece of fucking metal. That’s certainly new. Was worth panicking for the US embassy.
I surely underestimated them. Next time they’d shoot some garbage from Moscow, I guess. Like rotten apples or a missile full of dead rats. They has to demonstrate they haven’t even started to fight with their full might.
Well, civilians is their primary target, and always was. I have some experience of living in Russia, some long time ago, so, back in 2022, I was genuinely surprised they have something to make war longer than a week or two. I thought everything was stolen. But turned out I just understood their culture and especially history not well enough. So, I’m not surprised about seeing donkeys in their attacks on the front lines. As, again, their primary target is us, civilians. Here, they improve their attacks, as I see it. But I cannot believe they can do anything new that we haven’t seen before. They tried everything already. Even nukes wouldn’t be as significant, only the damage is bigger, apparently.
Honestly, I just don’t believe Russia can attack with anything special and somehow surprise us. They demonstrated everything they could already. A significant attack is like an everyday event, isn’t it?
I do agree with you, entirely. My point is, it was the easiest option. I guess self-hosting Headscale should eliminate that, if there’s nothing suspicious with the clients.
Also, I tried Netbird, and it was good, but a bit more complicated. I didn’t like it UX wise, but that could be me not having enough time to explore. I have it installed with my mum’s PC at her home. My infrastructure uses Tailscale now.
Also, there are other alternatives. I haven’t tried them yet. All I wanted to say, there are compromises everywhere, and dealing with the US is the compromise for now.
I’m located in Ukraine, so personally, I wish them what they want to push on me — this administration wants me and my family to die for the orange monkey to steal some more money for himself, betraying his own country; I guess that’s obvious for all of us.
But I just think for me personally that’s rather a vector of my movement rather than changing things momentarily. So, to me, Tailscale was a god send. As I struggled to get through this. Now I understand it a bit better. I’d love to setup WireGuard myself, I just lack some knowledge, and also time plus energy. I hope I’d do that this year. We’ll see. Thanks for enhancing my point, and happy new year.
I’d say the same. About money, I’d formulate this differently: most of the people here would be happy to help for free, I believe. And the author could just ‘thank with a coffee’ kind of thing, if they feel like it. I see that’s as a very nice option for everyone.
With the 3rd part, I’d recommend going with Tailscale, it really helps for folks who don’t understand many things yet, and is super easy to setup. The free tier allows 3 users and 100 computers, so even if you need more, it’s easy to start with that, learn things and then change this aspect.
Personally, I have tremendous issues with paper notebooks. I love them for random notes, but not structuring things. I started a blog a year or so ago, and it was very rewarding to document everything there. My blog is not online yet, but I plan to publish it within a month or so. If things are good, maybe the next week even.
I wanted to tell others that if you want any help setting up a simple blog for yourself, you’re welcome to ping me, I can help you with setting that up, and you may see what difference it makes! I so so so wish I had that done years ago, but at least I started already.
Yes! I literally wrote the guy (or gal) the same thing personally, before reading any comments. Keeping a journal helps so so much! Start a blog if you can, I only started it in 2025 (having some random notes here and there before that), and it’s so so so rewarding!
Also, GPTs help a lot, especially when you’re able to verify the outputs. It’s somewhat challenging, to understand it’s lying, if you’re new to the topic, but I noticed it’s quite good at the simple questions, especially tech ones.
I’ve got an impression that rather a friend than a consultant is needed. Unfortunately, I’ve got none when I needed them so much. But I think I can be someone’s friend, so feel free to ping.
I wasn’t able to read all the replies, but I thought I’d like to state that I quite enjoy the community! So many people willing to help, and discuss things. I wish I’d found the community much earlier, when I just started the self-hosting adventure.
Not much from me, but it wasn’t clear to me whether you were successful with WireGuard. I’m not, till today! So I can’t recommend Tailscale more! Others recommend things like Headscale, or others, I plan to migrate to them one day. But so far, Tailscale was really good for me.
Yeah, I thought about that too. Long ago, each attack felt scary and they were having some results. These days, it feels like the anti-air crew gets down most of the shit that Russians throw at us.
Thanks! Both for the wishes and for the excerpt from the article. Merry Christmas.
Fuck you. Learn to read then, if a couple of sentences written off the iPhone is an essay for you.
Do you mind elaborating, please? I really did not read the article, so I might be totally wrong on commenting right away. It’s just not the first time I see things like that from BBC. Which disappoints me quite a lot, since that’s literally the only news outlet I watch and have some respect for. Yet, since 2022, I started paying closer attention at how wrong they were with covering Ukraine, sometimes literally giving Russian shills some platform. I have no record of that at the moment, it’s buried in the pre-musk Twitter of mine, but I remember that disappointment I had quite very clearly. That’s why I thought ‘oh no, are you at it again?’
So, wasn’t the attack quite large? I do live in Ukraine with my family, by the way, and we’re having electricity for like 3 hours today. So, I assume this attack was quite massive, wasn’t it? Literally, I had very little time to learn today.
Why is it ‘massive’ in quotes? It was massive, wasn’t it? Sounds as if they doubt it was massive.
Oh, thanks, I missed it. It’s a very long thread. I’ve read only the first 40 messages so far, so I cannot really comment on that. But here is a nice advice from there:
