  • Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing?

    Jump

  • I find Matrix janky but still usable. What homeserver implementation and what client are you using? I use tuwunel and nheko. tuwunel works great for me and I think it's probably a disservice to the Matrix protocol that the "canonical" homeserver implementation is written in Python. Nheko is somewhat janky for me but I like it more than Element, and I think most of the jankiness is because of the Matrix protocol rather than the client implementation.

  • Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing?

    Jump

  • I use self-hosted Jitsi for screen share, although this is just video conference software without the IM aspect of Discord. (Jitsi does have IM to be clear, but it's a chat tied to a particular meeting, not like a persistent groupchat.) You could just use Signal chats as you have already been doing and send Jitsi links when you want to call. Jitsi has E2EE although I'm not up to date on the details of how it works.

  • You could probably do this for an extended period of time if you freeze the soup as that entirely stops microbe growth, but there would still be periods of time when the soup is not entirely frozen when microbes will grow and create toxins that cooking doesn't get rid of. Freezing doesn't kill microbes, only stops them from multiplying. So probably advised to not do this literally perpetually.

  • Breakfast sandwiches for dinner

    Jump

  • Jesus. I hope your neighbours are ok?

  • My Cast Iron Cookware!

    Jump

  • It's been around for ages and is made of the same stuff as cast iron, but instead of being poured into a mould, it's sheets that get stamped into shape. So it has similar properties eg you can season it, you take care of it the same way, but it has a smoother surface and tends to be a lot thinner. I don't have one but I got gifted a Teflon wok for free; once I need to replace that, I plan to look for a carbon steel wok.

  • What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

    Jump

  • Not sure what counts as a "gadget". If it can be any cooking implement, then my Dutch oven. If it has to be something more "gadget-y" then my rice cooker.

  • Building a Linux Phone

    Jump

  • From the sounds of it, it's just a hobby project for fun for OP. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing something just for the sake of it.

  • Why call it full-disk encryption when the EFI partition has to be unencrypted?

    Jump

  • I didn't mean it as nitpicking. I was just responding to you?

  • Why call it full-disk encryption when the EFI partition has to be unencrypted?

    Jump

  • I think FDE is different to full partition. If your home partition is encrypted but not your root partition, that's not FDE. I would say FDE is when the partition that you mount to / is encrypted.

  • Missing Link: How Linux would continue without Linus Torvalds

    Jump

  • I don't like JS either but it's not a big deal. You can whitelist sites with noscript.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • Automatic daily updates for system packages. Automatic daily container updates with watchtower. I normally have things pinned to a reasonable major or minor release, so I do manual upgrades for new OS release branches and usually pin to a major version for Docker containers but depends on the container.

  • Best Tool and Layout for Learning Touch Typing on Linux?

    Jump

  • For Q2: I would recommend your native layout. I've not tried US QWERTY but I tried DVORAK many moons ago because it's "better", but I found it's better to be good at one layout than to try split your efforts. If you're not doing something where speed is crucial, just use what you're used to. If your keyboard layout is not good for your purposes (e.g. typing a character you need often for the programming language you're using, is difficult on your layout), you could remap individual characters or maybe there's a layout similar to your native one but better for programming. But no need to use US QWERTY specifically. Also as another commenter said, typing speed isn't that crucial for programming. I find I'm always limited by thinking speed, not typing speed.

  • 2025 Self-Host User Survey: Open for Submissions

    Jump

  • There was one question where it wouldn't let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click "Other".

  • Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services?

    Jump

  • Never used a dashboard... I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.

  • How to manage docker compose apps?

    Jump

  • Watchtower for automated updates. For containers that don't have a latest tag to track, editing the version number manually and then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is simple enough.

  • Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs

    Jump

  • Yes, if you use the "task list" block. You can also have checkbox bullet points but I don't use them, not really sure what the use-case for those are when you can just use the task list.

  • Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs

    Jump

  • I self-host Notesnook and found it easy to set up. Been using it as my main note-taking app for years now and I'm really happy with it.

    How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?

    Jump

  • Someone who's in the business of stealing computers would just stick it in a faraday bag. I guess for an entire server you'd need a sizeable cage though.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • Idk about Immich but Vaultwarden is just a Cargo project no? Cargo statically links crates by default but I think can be configured to do dynamic linking too. The Rust ecosystem seems to favour static linking in general just by convention.

  • Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians

    Jump

  • This is only because Microsoft's employees have been relentless in their pressure on their bosses. They've been doing occupations of Microsoft buildings, office crashes, etc. They fire the employees who take part but then there are more employees who crop up in their place; there are just too many to fire them all. And Microsoft still provides a lot of support to Israel, so don't be fooled into thinking that things are over.
