That was quite a refreshing article, and so… human, probably the biggest compliment nowadays.
People love open source software not because it’s free, but because it is open. That openness brings all sorts of benefits
And I really love this quote from it, I stopped to think for a bit about it, but yeah. Being open and trusting the source is waay more important than being free monetarily
My setup is a barebones Alpine Linux with ssh and docker, and everything I run on it is a container (except backups).
Those I manage remotely (remote Docker context), so the only time I have to log in is to do an update for the few system packages and that’s it. And for that ssh is more than enough
Thing is, a large percentage of internet-connected users might have two or more devices. The simplicity offered by a cloud (be it hosted or selfhosted) password manager is a huge benefit.
And unless you’re already running a syncthing-like service for something else, setting it up just for a password manager when other services provide it out of the box, is not worth the hassle usually.
TIL ordnance and ordinance are two distinct words with distinct meanings
Shocked, I tell you
Because I’d bet my left kidney that at least the intro half of the readme is written by AI, if not the whole thing
Man AI explanations are so… soulless and dull. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.
It’s like it tries to rephrase a 5-sentence explanation as another 5-sentence explanation without grasping that it could be explained in 5 words concisely…
So many upvotes without a comment :/ Sadly I don’t have much useful info to add either, I’m looking forward to how others do it as well, since I recently noticed this panel in Beszel too.
Honestly, I use the status icons in Homepage dashboard as a health check, since I always use my dashboard to navigate to apps. Red status indicator -> I have to go fix it. Nothing more severe.
But for point 3 I do have a strong hunch that it depends on the container image creator - a health check is usually just a command that either succeeds or not (or a http response that gets a 200 or not), so it can be as simple as pointing a request to the root url of the app. Of course, this is not the most performant way to check this, which is why app makers may also put in explicit liveness/readiness or similar endpoints that return a really short json to indicate their status. But for the containers that have a healthcheck, they must be implemented in the image (too) I think
To be fair, he did say everyone should see it ☝️🤓
Ooh this is great news! I guess it was both an entertaining experience and a chore at the same time bumping the server version every once in a while to keep the mobile app functioning.
Huge props to the team, it’s one of the best pieces of software I’ve used in quite some time.
For startup costs, ~80€ for a used micro PC a few years back (+100€ for a 1TB SSD for it).
Since then
I never bothered with electricity costs, since it’s a small micro PC. It probably uses sub 20W average, which, next to an AC, fridge, and WFH costs, has to be negligible, the cost of buying a measuring device in itself is probably not worth it
