App images don’t work on alpine. Use flat pack or run the app image in a chroot

Alpine is great on the desktop too! I use it on all my desktops, laptops and servers.

What does your current setup look like? in c/selfhosted

[–] cow 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I kind of prefer mini flux but I maintain the freshrss package in Alpine so I have an instance to test things.

What PCI cards do you use ? in c/[email protected]

[–] cow 2 points 3 months ago

A molex to PCIe adapter with an 850w power supply. I only have like 10 watts of headroom but usually only one gpu is running at a time so it works fine. I would have bought a better one but my dad accidentally bought 2 for another project so he had an extra one and it works fine.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? in c/[email protected]

[–] cow 4 points 3 months ago

I have been running wayland with sway for around 6-10 months (I forget when I switched). I have a 4-monitor setup and hated the default workspace management but swaysome convinced me to switch. I heard a lot of stuff about how manual tiling is bad but I actually don't mind it and kind of prefer it to automatic tiling from AwesomeWM which I used before sway, .

I have a 6700xt for Linux and an old 2070 that I pass through to a windows guest. I might get a usb card too to pass through but not sure if I have any more space in my mid tower for another pci card.

Which OS do you use for your homeserver? in c/selfhosted

Alpine Linux edge

I am thinking about hosting my own Mastodon server from home on a Raspberry Pi (Pi4 8GB)? in c/[email protected]

[–] cow 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I would not suggest mastodon for such low powered hardware, its also overkill for a personal instance. Akkoma or GotoSocial would work much better on a Pi. The annual cost is pretty much just 3-15$/year for the domain name.

Can i use mailcow on a dynamic IP with DDNS-updater for my usecase? in c/selfhosted

[–] cow 1 points 6 months ago

IP changes are not your concern. It is likely that your ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you can check with nc gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25 and if you don't get any output its blocked. If you don't have very many users on your Pterodactyl server, I would suggest just using a gmail account with SMTP in pterodactyl. If you have port 25 unblocked and want to selfhost email, mailcow is a great option and really easy to set up.

Is it worth upgrading my e reader? in c/[email protected]

The kindle paper white is nice but it’s Amazon. I have one that I keep in airplane mode and load books over usb.

Getting a static IP at home? (self.homelab)

submitted 11 months ago by cow to c/[email protected]

I currently pay 70$ a month for residential 50/50 Ziply fiber internet in Oregon. On the ziply website it says it would be 50$ a month for 100/100 small business fiber. Would that let me get a static IP, port 25 unblocked and reverse dns? Are there any strings attached as it seems strange for small business internet to be cheaper than residential?
