Thank you. Solidifies my decision to leave lemmy.world

I say that and realize lemmy.world is too… Guess this account is next…

Thank you, allowed me to delete any accounts that are federated with cuckerberg owned conglomerates.

Haven’t felt the want to learn NixOS, but the idea did 8ntrigue me.

I’m able to use Google Wallet on my Pixel 7 Pro with root and LineageOS on it

If I may ask, which phone did you port LOS to for yourself out of curiosity?

As soon as I read

The iPhone is by far the best mobile platform in the world

I had a hard time taking this article seriously. Not because I don’t believe Apples iPhone offering has its place, but because that is conjecture.

Both Android, and iPhone have their places. That being said, so do the more niche mobile operating systems.

Comparing Android to iOS is like comparing Arm to x64 architecture. They both have their use cases. And people should use the best device for their use case.

It’s not a one size fits all kind of situation.

I am using Homarr but before that I used Heimdall.

I much prefer Homarr, and it’s rather easy to use too.

I have a good chunk of my services running on my docker host. I may go the docker route as it’s the cleanest way of implementing it into my setup.

I think so farvi have 30 containers running at any given time.

Didn’t realize there was a self host option for Xbrowsersync, thank you!

Well, I want the data to be my own. And that traffic won’t leave my home network, unless I am VPNed into my network. I don’t expose my services to the Internet because it’s just for me.

I have not. He ked out Shaarli but I am going to look now.

I thought about trying to spin up a nextcloud instance, just haven’t taken the time to add that to my home lab.

It may not be worth that extra effort, but it would be a learning experience I am sure.

I have read that, but then for my chrome instances on devices I sadly couldn’t easily sync with those. For instance I use a chromium based browser on my phone, but Firefox on my desktops/laptops. But I may look into self hosting my own Firefox setup.

Thank you, I will have to check that one out. My next endeavor was going to be to make my own Firefox and chrome extensions and create my own docker container for syncing.

I am not familiar with btrfs send and receive. But I have a new rabbit hole to venture down. I don’t have any ZFS storage setup, but I can expand! Thank you for the tip!

May have to give Clonezilla a try. I have tried to use my medicat USB to backup to external HDD and it wasn’t playing nicely with Macrium Reflect or the other backup tools on there.

My "Home Lab" loosely put, is an amalgamation of this:

Docker and Docker Compose installed on Ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 530 and on that docker host I have: -Portainer

-Nginx Proxy Manager

-Cloudflare Dynamic DNS

-Chromium

-Dozzle

-Gluetun

-Homarr

-Jellyfin

-Kanboard

-Komga

-Radarr

-Lidarr

-Sonarr

-Navodrome

-netbooyxyz (work in progress)

-Prowlarr

-qBittorrent

-Pairdrop

-Resilio-Sync

-Searxng

-Siganl CLI container for alerts

-Uptime Kuma

-VSCode

-WikiJS

-Watchtower

On one of my Pi's:

-Pihole

-Pialert

-fail2ban

-PIVPN

-Unbound

The weakest part of my setup arguably is between my storage "solution" and my networking setup.

Storage is just a bunch of large drives in the Dell. Next upgrade is a new router solution, but still use my current router for a wireless access point strictly for IOT and putting my other devices on separate VLANs.

I was thinking about getting a Nextcloud going, but not sure I want to as of right now.
