You make it sound like there is a causality here. I would be careful. German GDP is declining for other reasons, not for their commitment to renwables. Also, by all measures, livin…

I use local seedvault backup and then sync via round sync daily trigger to my Nextcloud WebDav Server (native seedvault was not able to use this, for some reason).

The best advice is often: Use a dot and start a new sentence. The best writers use very short sentences in a row and simple words. They flow easily and do not break reading. This w…

I am very happy with Moonlight/Sunshine combo. Runs neatly on my RTX 4000 Pro GPU Server. The only thing I miss is automated resolution adjustment to connected Clients, but I was a…

I get your point and this is likely also not what you mean, but I am very happy with a simple git tracking approach that I use across Proxmoxes and VMs [1]. [1]: https://du.nkel.de…

Yeah, I ran into the same wall when setting the system up. I then reverted to the standard mount utility, which also supports id-mapping. But it is really not that known. See the l…

Thanks for the feedback! I agree. I do have a comment on this, to explain my choice: > Podman vs Docker You may point to Podman here because Podman is natively rootless and doesn't…

I found it pretty reliable and use it across all my docker projects, development and production.

Install docker (systemd daemon) in a separate rootless Linux namespace (user). I wrote this down here [1]. Zero trust & separation of concerns. [1]: https://du.nkel.dev/blog/2023-1…

I have my phone always in Do Not Disturb. That's it.

It is not possible to zoom in, as far as I can see (mobile, but tested desktop). [Edit] This allows zooming [1]. [1]: https://2b2tatlas.com/map

I invested quite a bit in enterprises level homelab equipment 2020 to 2025 (about 10k). Happy I made it before the big bang. Eg. my SAS he8 drives will last at least till 2035. But…

Yes, manual. It is very rare to find automatic cars of that age in Europe.

Electronics don't usually last for more than 30 years. Pre-2007 cars can be driven for that long because they had minimal electronics and relatively oversized manufacturing. This w…

Our VW T4 from 2002 has 300k km on it. I consider this half it's total possible mileage, if not less. I wish they would still build reliable cars like these today.

What I found pretty great with docker is isolating individual docker systemd instances in rootless linux namespaces (i.e. users). I wrote about this here [1]. This lets you easily …

I had the feeling they didn't really answer the questions, that is why the goblins appeared. They simply "retired the “Nerdy” personality" because they couldn't fix it and went on.…

I added an Zenko Scality CloudServer S3-compatible Storage backend to a selfhosted Grist [1] instance. This allowed me to create forms with attachements in Grist (e.g. users can up…

The comparison pictures look like there is more dust in the air today. They don't explain this effect, so I assume it is related to time of day the photo was taken, or camera setti…

You mean via WebDav? That is definitly an option, but then it is not possible anymore to mix working file directories within Nextcloud. E.g. I have a long list of ignored files for…

I found virtual files support also somewhat critical. This is not really stable on Linux yet and makes using Nextcloud with 8TB and Million of files pretty difficult.

I think nowadays the only safe and sane way is running Windows isolated as a VM (e.g. QEMU on proxmox). I did this with my gaming server. The VM sits on ZFS which I can snapshot be…

I use ZFS even on consumer devices, these days. Parity checks all the way!
