Looking into the metadata of the included PDF version reveals that it’s from 2004, so even a bit older than that.

Don’t worry. There’s still plenty of ESP32 waiting to be flashed with ESPHome and placed into their own little enclosure out there.

A nice grid lined notebook and a mechanical pencil is still my favorite.

If only my default font wasn’t so bad that it causes data loss.

That looks very interesting, mostly because it’s so different. I’ll have to take a closer look later.

I didn’t mention it, but that’s actually my one (small) gripe with Joplin. It would be neat if I could access my notes with any markdown editor without having to open it through Joplin. That said, I don’t know how I would’ve handled the file structure differently while keeping features like the history alive.

Just tried it for a bit. Looks pretty sleek and has some nice features, but it seems like it’s not open-source, which is something I’d like to avoid.

Helck is simply continuing from last season, so it’s neither new nor a sequel.

Other than that I agree. I was initially sceptical if something with such a simple premise could hold my attention beyond a few episodes, but the show has evolved so much that that worry seems silly now. Great anime.

i don’t understand how i connect the pc to the domain.

Yeah, that’s the part where I think there’s some misunderstanding. You don’t “connect” the server to your domain. Instead, there is a Nameserver (most run by your registrar, GoDaddy) that hosts a list of DNS records, that you can edit, which point to IPs. So you need to edit those to point to your public IP (or set up stuff like DynDNS if your IP isn’t static) and once that’s doneand the port forwarding is also set up properly in the Fritz!Box you should be able to connect.

That said, what’s wrong with VPN? Particularly if you’re using Wireguard VPN, which was recently added to Fritz!Box, there shouldn’t be any performance differences. Plus, it would be safer than exposing services to the whole internet, doubly so if you’re not a networking expert.

The space before punctuation thingy is called “Plenken” in Germany and still sometimes used by people who learned on typewriters. Same thing with repeated spaces or dots… to indicate pauses.

But yeah, pretty unprofessional.

The profile page OP linked says “Since 2006”, so ~17 years.

But as you said, that’s still a lot. I didn’t start too much later and am “only” at 128.8 days.

Had a hard time finding any recent information either, but with the recent release of 1.20 I’ve noticed that an Activitypub endpoint got added in the API and that permissions for it can be added to tokens. Seems very rudimentary so far though.

From my experience the “default” experience, which is Docker Desktop, is a pain, due to what you described. In particular, Linux containers and Windows file permissions just don’t mix well.

Other than that, there’s three options:

1. Docker Desktop, but used from WSL 2. This seems to be the cleanest solution nowadays. Never personally used it though. Officially supported.
2. Installing Docker inside WSL 2. Configuring this correctly is a bit of a pain and not really supported AFAIK.
3. Installing Docker in a VM, using the integrated Hyper-V functionality for example. The least amount of integration, but most reliable.

It doesn’t make any sense to me from the perspective that I’ve approached it.

I think you’ve already identified the issue. Docker is pretty “simple”, but you’ve got to approach it from the right angle or else it doesn’t make sense. Apart from suggesting the official documentation I can’t give you much advice on how to learn it because my path to understanding Docker was pretty much just trying things out and iterating on it. That said here’s a tips that could help:

• If you aren’t using Docker Compose already, you really should. Just having your entire configuration for a service in a single file really helps.
• Aside from debugging, you normally aren’t meant to run commands manually in a container. It’s best to act like every container is just a black box that simply does its thing.
• If you need to edit config files, the easiest way is to just directly on the host if you’re using bind mount volumes, or spin up a temporary container running Debian or Alpine for example that also has the Docker Volume mounted.

As @housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com has already mentioned, building your own images is also pretty helpful since it strips a lot of the “black magic” away and teaches you how to further “mod” existing images.

I’d guess that it might be related to how you’ve set up the virtual network adapter. This depends on the specifc virtualization software you use, but the adapter for HA should be be set to something called bridged network, meaning the VM gets its own IP on your home network, no routing or NAT in between. HA will struggle to connect with devices otherwise, as all these protocols weren’t designed to work across multiple networks.

For services that need to be public facing (Mastodon, Lemmy, Gitea…) I’m renting a VPS. Services that are only for personal use run on my home server and are only accessible through Wireguard, with the VPS acting as a “bridge” whenever I’m outside of my home network.

If you need something that packs more power than a Pi while still being somewhat energy efficient and small form factor then yes, the NUCs are generally pretty good.

Personally I’m running a NUC from 2018 with a 8th gen i3 that’s pulling double duty as both a server running about ~10 docker containers, and as a media center.

The server part still runs flawlessly, though the media center part is getting a bit slow when opening websites on it.

As others have already said, one drawback is that there’s only space for one drive, so at least a NAS or external USB storage is recommended for backups.
