Any thoughts on Guix as compared with Nix? I've tinkered a bit with Nix, including running NixOS for a bit on my laptop, but quite like the lispy languages in comparison.
I found out about guix after already investing in nix. Looks great, and better in many ways, but I'm more familiar with Haskell syntax than lisp, and my understanding is that the nix ecosystem is far more developed.
Either way, I am more inclined currently to use packages on top of a base Linux distro, so suspect I can mess around more without committing to either for now.
I have a _terrible_ memory and am constantly forgetting things about friends I have known for almost a decade. I host this in a container that I am likely going to move to a RPi: https://github.com/monicahq/monica

What's the value of Tailscale in a home network with self-hosted apps?
being able to have a consistent name for your server instead of using an ip address such as "192.168.1.23:4567", which would change often if you didn't set up a static ip. once you bookmark "devicename:4567" or reference it in some other app, you won't have to change it again. and of course having outside access to your devices when you are away is a nice plus as well
I host most of my stuff on ESXi VMs, mostly Fedora. Local Video/Music: mythtv with fanless minipc for front end. email: (sendmail/spamassassin/dovecot with Thunderbird front end) sharing/collaboration: Nextcloud Chat: Matrix/Synapse with Element web for the past year or so, Openfire (XMPP) for at least a decade. Ad block: pi-hole DNS: local recursive resolver (BIND) spell/usage check: langtool (minimal usage, but int…
I've been wanting to self-host a podcast service. This might be a really stupid question, but how do you download the podcasts to your server? I'm guessing it's like an RSS thing, but how do you the feeds?
Great question!
Yes, with podgrab[0] you can add RSS urls or OPML files or use the "search" feature which, using your search term, will query the podcasts in either Apple podcasts or podcastindex.com.
As an aside, the software developer seems to have a preference for Docker. I do not. As such, I downloaded the sources (Go) and installed on an existing VM. I even packaged up the binary with the rest of the package and it runs just fine, using very little (~150MB) RAM and only 33MB disk space, not including the podcasts, of course.
I encourage you to check it out. It works nicely so far (a couple weeks).

I personally use fb2k with the dlna add-on for music streaming, with bubbleupnp server in the middle (mostly out of laziness; I used to stream to a Google cast device, though now I just have my stereo plugged directly into my PC). Bubbleupnp on Android is honestly one of the best music players I can ask for; it does nothing for audio quality, unfortunately, but everything for storing music wherever you want and casti…
Truth be told, mythtv works okay for my usual use case: shuffle all my music tracks (~22,000). But it has crappy playlist support.
I've been testing out a variety of music servers and am currently playing around with Navidrome[0], which seems to have better playlist support. And it's FOSS that runs on Linux.
BTW, Navidrome supports the Subsonic API and, as such, supports airsonic/subsonic clients.
I'm not so interested in using my phone to "cast" anything and I have plenty of storage and can fit the bulk of my music collection on the phone itself. I play that music with VLC[1] on the device -- no streaming.
>While you can't cast _to_ Roku using a dlna controller, Roku media player will allow you to browse and play content from a dlna server. There's also multiple channels available that provide other methods to stream music to Roku.
I tried that with jellyfin and mythtv (both are dlna servers too), but Roku Media Player can't handle anywhere near that many songs. It just hangs until I quit the app. And jellyfin can't handle such large playlists either -- it crashes the jellyfin server when I try to play a lot of songs.
I'm not in a huge rush to move the music off mythtv, but I do want to host my own streaming platform (I wish I didn't hate Kodi so much, Emby and Plex want to spy on me, and jellyfin's UI and Kodi-like strictures on folder structure (separating TV from Movies, rather than just dealing with the Genre --> Title --> Seasons[TV] --> Episodes[TV] structure I've been using for decades. As such, those are really non-starters for me.
Mythtv's plugin ecosystem is weak and streaming plugins are pretty much non-existent.
Eventually, I'll find (Navidrome?) a new music server and a media manager with decent streaming plugins. Then I'll add another fanless PC to plug into my receiver and run with it.
Until then, while what I have isn't awesome, between Mythtv, Roku and TiVo, most of my home media needs are met. I don't care about watching videos on my phone or "casting" them. And if I did, can access my video library and stream via Nextcloud.
Thanks for the suggestions. While they don't currently fit my use cases, I appreciate the information and discussion!

How is your minio setup working for you? I'd heard some bad reviews early on and stayed away from it. Do you run it in any high-availability mode? Have you tested backups/restores? Would like to hear anything you'd like to share about it.

Why self host cyberchef? It runs completely in the browser, and you can load it from github pages.

Nice tip on the tablets
Yeah they're solid - come with a little dock so it looks like a high-end automation system panel. You can configure the power settings to hold the battery charge around 50% to prevent any issues with the battery swelling. If you go this route, definitely buy the Android app FullyKiosk. It will let you lock the tablet to the HomeAssistant dashboard, automatically recover if something crashes, etc. I have it set up to…
