Not “the most” but, the first that comes to mind is music by Jimmy Urine (Mindless Self Indulgence, Left Rights, Euringer). “Fuck Everything” is a mood, and while it is honestly far more tame than any of his previous works, it sums them up pretty well. Raging not against the machine but society, his parents, and his psychiatrist. Dude’s probably fucked up father north than Santa and “just acting out” (I’m sure he’ll grow out of it) but the music definitely strikes a chord with me.

Literally the only joke I saw today was from Lockpicking Lawyer

I am sick and slightly out of my mind anyway so I’m not going to be very helpful. One thing that stands out though, if you can SSH the machine and you can curl local host to Port 8,000 or whatever. This should help you troubleshooting the container while it lives on the VPS I think

Is this loss?

Idk, I had not heard of gitea or forgejo before. Personally I really want strong & flexible CI/CD, and Don’t know what the alternatives have to offer there, but it would be worth looking into. GitLab is pretty resource-heavy even for low user count.

Self-hosting gitlab?

I’ve used Ghost Commander for this; I’ve tried several and disliked it the least. That said, really wind up doing SCP over command line with termux.

These get out of scale pretty fast. I mean, maybe they are drawn to scale but kind of pointless to see from a human-on-the-ground perspective.

I don’t consider an app deployable until I can run a single script and watch it run. For instance I do not run docker/podman containers raw, always with a compose and/or other orchestration. Not consciously but I probably kill and restart it several times just to be sure it’s reproducible.

My entire music library must pass through beets first. If it’s not automatically tagged I will manually search, and finally (esp for locals’ or friends’ music) I will manually tag it using eyeD3 and import through beets as l-is.

I think most home lab/shelf hosters start off because they want to learn something. I think (generally, philosophically) many people never start something new even if it interests them because they are afraid. To this point, it sounds like you can either let the fear prevent you from doing what you want, or you can use the fear as a learning tool.

Start simple. Build something very easy and isolated, air gap it if you need to. Figure out how logs and monitoring work, maybe even try attacking it yourself, so you have confidence that even if it’s compromised you will see how and why. Then you can connect it to the internet, isolated from the rest of your network, and then you will learn how well- or un-founded those fears are. Learn even more about monitoring and defending, then start looking for a job as a cybersecurity professional because you are already well underway.

They don’t have to succeed once.

Use antivirus and other endpoint security measures. Rotate your passwords and keys. Use Everything as Code, and for goodness sake make backups.

If you find yourself compromised, rotate and burn the keys, wipe and redeploy.

The US apparently doesn’t even know what regime change is, looking at Venezuela.

I have a much older NAS with not a lot of compute power, but it’s only purpose is to share data. I have a a proxmox server that connects to the NAS through NFS and does the actual transcoding, etc.

I have heard good things about LM Studio from several professional coders and tinkers alike. Not tried it myself yet though, but I might have to bite the bullet because I can’t seem to get ollama to perform how I want.

TabbyML is another thing to try.

It is the leading cause of death for ages 1-19 though

Looks like on Reddit, the creator is blocking people from reporting things like sending data to foreign servers.

So-and-so of the nation Such-and-such said “That guy’s dumb as a bag of rocks.” But what they DIDN’T say…

Serious “debate me bro” energy here.

I tried using https://kerberos.io/ a while back, I did not have success but I think that’s because my setup was wonky. We’re looking into, at least.

Also, HandsOnKatie has done a couple videos on home surveillance, I know she likes ReoLink and Home Assistant But I don’t remember what her full software stack set up as like.
