I have been using obsidian for the past few months and i really enjoy it. It’s not open source, but you can self-host a not syncing service called Obsidian LiveSync that I use to sync between my computers and phone

What's our stance on sex work? in c/[email protected]

This is funny and also begets some serious questions about who we are seizing the means of reproduction from and why they were seized in the first place. Silvia Federici offers some answers in her book Caliban and the Witch

How to fix my ZFS pool mistakes (lemm.ee)
 

Back when I was even less experienced in self-hosting I setup my media/backup server using a RAIDZ1 array and 3 x 8TB disks. It's been running well for a while and I haven't had any problems and no disk errors.

But today I read a post about 'pool design rules' stating that RAIDZ1 configurations should not have drives over 1TB because the chances of errors occurring during re-silvering are high. I wish I had known this sooner.

What can I do about this? I send ZFS snapshots to 2 single large (18TB) hardrives for cold backups, so I have the capacity to do a migration to a new pool layout. But which layout? The same article I referenced above says to not use RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 with any less than 6 drives...I don't want to buy 3 more drives. Do I buy an additional 8TB drive (for a total of 4 x 8TB) and stripe across two sets of mirrors? Does that make any sense?

Thank you!

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At your recommendation, this is what I've been trying for the last week. I favorited all my artists, and I have to say that it's working pretty well! I feel that my music library is much more intimate now. I'll keep 'testing' it for a while longer but this might be my solution. Thanks!

Thank you! If I can't find a way to figure it out in navidrome I'll consider giving jellyfin a try, since I already use it for my visual media

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel (lemm.ee)
 

I've been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I've been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven't been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up navidrome I ended up integrating a bunch of mp3 libraries (my father's, my own, and a few of my friends). Because many people share the Navidrome server with me, I let them add stuff that they listen to. When I browse the artist in the iOS client play:Sub I end up not recognizing about half the artists. I've found that I forget about a bunch of music because I rely so heavily on the 'search' function and don't scroll through my artist library like I did on the iPod back in the day.

I'm not sure how to address this, and I think it pretty significantly affects my relationship to my music library. I'm not sure if the solution is server-side or client-side, but essentially I want to be able to have all the music accessible in some way, and most the time I want to just browse a selection of artists that I choose. I feel like creating a playlist is not sufficient because I don't know how I would browse by artist within a playlist (at least within the clients I'm familiar with). Has anyone felt this way? Any recs?

Thank you!

Recomendation for a note taking app in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I use obsidian with obsidian-livesync for selfhosting the notes. Works pretty well across linux, macos, ios so far

Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 in c/technology
[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I never had a good way to ingest info, but i setup a self-hosted FreshRSS instance a few months ago and it’s completely changed how i consume information for the better. I spend a lot less time scrolling through shit that never interested me much in the first place

Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up? in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

So for this, would i make another zfs pool on my remote backup server that is not snapshotted? Like, the problem i have is that i have snapshotting via rsync, but then the whole remote server zfs pool is further snapshotted so there’s a lot of redundancy.

This is fantastically helpful, thank you. I will do this.

I don’t know why I thought sending zfs snapshots was the better option

Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up? (lemm.ee)
 

I currently have two computers, one that has a big zfs raidz pool that I currently back everything up to. Right now, on my local computer I use rsnapshot to do snapshot backups via rsync to the remote zfs pool. I know I'm wasting a ton of space because I have snapshotting in the rsync backup, and then the zfs pool is snapshotted every day.

Does it make sense to just do a regular rsync into a backup directory on the zfs pool and then just rely on the zfs pool snapshotting for snapshotting?

Maybe eventually I will put the local machine on zfs and then just send the local zfs snapshots over, but that will take some time. Thanks!

People, not the climate, found to have caused the decline of the giant mammals in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I don’t think this finding suggests that humans are innately negative forces in ecosystems, but rather that becoming indigenous to a place is a process. As people spread out to new areas, they didn’t have cultural practices that maintained historical ecological relations, and upended some of the ecology in the new places. But over time, it’s in everyone’s best interest to maintain relatively sustainable and cyclical ecological relations for long term survivalship, and that becomes part of the culture and stories, and then you get indigeneity. I think there’s no coincidence that the megafauna that still exists is primarily in the area where humans evolved (subsaharan africa). This is where people have been indigenous to the longest, perhaps before people had the means to extirpate megafauna. And once the cultural indigeneity was in place, there were reasons to not destroy megafauna populations (until the modern colonial era, at least)

Auto import transactions to financial manager by parsing bank emails–– a sanity check (lemm.ee)
 

I've been after that golden goose of auto-imported transactions from my US banks into a selfhosted financial manager for some time now. Plaid doesn't work with some of my banks, and comes with a slew of privacy compromises anyway. I'm looking to import transactions into firefly iii (or actualbudget) by scraping information from bank alert emails about my transactions. I wanted to write about it here in case someone had experience doing so or any tips-- or if this is a silly venture.

My plan is to set alerts for all transactions across my banks, and direct them all to a single email address. Then I'll write a python script that checks the inbox every 5mins or so, and if it detects a new email, it will parse it according to some code I write and extract the amount and the payee, and then attempt to import it into (in this case, ActualBudget) using the importTransactions API call.

It's going to be a bit of a pain in the ass to set this up as I see it (I'm also a bit of a beginner, but think I can make it work) and I just want to see if anyone else has tried this. Thanks!
