Revolut says that in less than a year it's managed to slash its [code generation] costs by roughly 90 percent by making self-hosted models its default instead of relying primarily on commercial services like Claude.

I am looking for a self hosted bookmark manager. Does anyone have any experience to share?

Ideally I'd like:

• Self hosted with FOSS license
• Firefox integration (ideally on android, too)
• ideally no AI features or at least opt-in
• ideally human driven development (as little AI code as possible)

Linkwarden, Karakeep, Nextcloud/bookmarks seems to be the main ones.

Share any TCP network service (like a web server, game, etc.) with your contacts through Jami! It can also manage an embedded web server as needed to easily share simple websites or directories.

Looking to move some drives from my gaming rig to my server but it lacks hot swappable bays. I have seen a few nice cases but they dont check all the boxes. Anyone have a good recommendation based on...

1. 12+ hot swappable drive bays
2. Fit full size graphics cards
3. ATX full size
4. Rack mountable
5. Includes rails is a plus but optional

I am founding a FOSS club in my university and I want to be able to consult to the members in most decisions about the club. And I want to do so with upmost accuracy.

So I am looking for a self hosted, easy to use (at least for the voters), preferably anonymous (not a requirement) voting software

There has been some QoL improvements added recently. Notable ones are:

1. Support for OIDC login
2. Batched inserts
3. Temporary link disabling
4. Faster reply and redirection due to async handling of some less-important tasks

There have also been small changes to the backend and UI that improve the user experience overall.

TL:DR - have you used UmbralOS on a non-umbral device? Is it pretty straightforward? Reliable? Easy to use for a simple media server?

THE TL: SO my mini-pc's M.2 SSD shit the bed, and I'm essentially forced to rebuild my media server from backups, etc. I keep my actual media on USB external drives, and backup my configs/YAML regularly, so not the end of the world. I've put in a new SSD and ready to restart... but as they say, each problem is also an opportunity, and I'm considering switching the structure/interface of the server.

Instead of pure, headless CLI ubuntu server, I previously used CasaOS, as, at the time, I was new to hosting, and other users in my household are absolutely allergic to CLI and pretty much always will be. CasaOS is nice because the Debian CLI is there for me if I need it, but running on top is an "Okay" GUI that has familiar things like "apps" and folders with folder structures. Even though I'm much more experienced than I was, say, a year ago, I still think I'd rather not do "pure" CLI docker compose. I only need a couple, simple services, that are easier for other household members to interact with independently if it has a GUI. If you think there's a compelling reason I should change my mind on that, tell me why.

CasaOS over the past year ish has started to feel very much like abandonware, however, as they've moved to ZimaOS (which is waaay more than we need, I'm not running a RAID or trying to set up 20+self-hosted services...Does anyone have experience with UmbralOS (especially on NON-Umbral hardware, and with USB external HDD storage) It's for a simple media & file hosting experience via Jellyfin, primarily.

We're running an ARR stack, Jellyseer & Jellyfin with Nextcloud for photos & documents. My mini pc is a GEEKOM Air12 LITE which is not particularly beefy on specs... though I'm going to add another 8 gb of RAM to it when I upgrade. Any thoughts/advice are so greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don't need anything top of the line, and I've already crimped my lines to the room.

What's the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

I'm tempted to move to email with my own domain, but don't really care about the server side of things, I guess I'm following the line that self hosted email is not easy to do, and not sure how reliable I can make my servers.

The other option is to have some other system do the email hosting, and if it is through my domain then there should be no issues with moving around if needed. Hosting all the email archive isn't really needed either, I'd be fine self hosting or storing the archive.

Is there a set up where some remote service handles email exchange, and you just sync with it eg through POP style interfaces? Id actually prefer if my own server was doing the sync rather than a desktop running Thunderbird etc, that way it is kind of self hosted but also robust to down time. What's the best practice along these lines?

I transitioned to Linux a few years ago, which has piqued my partner’s curiosity. She's been genuinely interested and asks questions about it, but she is so deeply integrated I don't know where to start. She uses iCloud, an Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, a Mac desktop, plus whatever default proprietary software. She has a semi-technical background.

I want to help and be encouraging without overselling the ease of transition. There's always some friction with transitioning technology, and of course Apple makes that intentionally difficult. I came from a Windows ecosystem, so I'm lacking any direct insight for potential challenges.

Any advice or personal experiences on moving from the Apple ecosystem to Linux would be hugely appreciated!

(I can host services on my local server, so transitioning to something like Immich vs iCloud for photos is one option we've discussed).

Looking to build/buy a headless Linux PC to #selfhost a few things including #pihole, #Nextcloud, media server, etc. Nothing that needs amazing compute power. Ideally small form factor like a NUC. This is replacing a Raspberry Pi 4 which I feel is underpowered and cumbersome with the 2.5" external drives separate or externally powered 3.5 inch drives. Ideally I'd be able to use the cheaper 3.5" drives on this setup without needing external power that requires.

I looked on local resale options and can't seem to find anything available.

Thanks

I wanted to share with you all my experience on coding with AI, on a self-hosted oss.

This entire post has been fully written by me without any AI.

Edit: I violated rule 4, so I cut the long text here, please read it on the linked blog post!

Also, to be clear, the post itself has no ads and no monetization whatsoever. This is not self promotion for any scope than to share my experience on a controversial topic.

As part of my Homelab, I have TrueNAS Community Edition running in a big case with a bunch of Frankenstein parts including two GTX 1080s. TrueNAS recently phased out support for these older cards and I've been having to go through and manually install working drivers, which seem to have gotten overwritten on the last update anyway. Since I'm not actually using anything for video output (and have onboard HDMI if needed). One of the cards I am passing through to a VM (where it has no problem being recognized and used). The other card was used by Truenas for my apps.

Do you have any recommendations for hardware to accelerate tasks like Immich, Jellfin transcoding, media fingerprinting for metadata, OCR on bulk-uploaded pdfs etc.?

I was never really a hardware guy, especially when it comes to self-hosting and servers.

• I don't want to play games on my server.
• I don't want to empty my accounts to put a 5090 TI in a server.
• The above tasks are too slow on CPU alone, so I have to put something in it.
• I could keep running the 1080s with manually installed drivers, but it's a PITA and I wouldn't mind not doing that.

Are there reasonable options that can take up the workload, but come in at a decent price point? I know with a server, I don't necessarily have to run the same stuff as gamers. Are there options outside of the typical NVIDIA and AMD gaming linups that would work for my purpose, perhaps acquirable via FB marketplace, Craigslist, etc.? Does your server have video acceleration and, if so, what hardware are you using?

I appreciate any guidance the community can give me.

Every Go application since 1.24 will activate MPTCP on their sockets by default.

Hi all,

I am running proxmox on a mini PC with a handful of services in my stack. I also run NPM in an LXC to reach my services through my domain name (service.domain.tld).

For my Arr related stuff, I use Usenet, and everything runs through a VPN.

I have three services which are public. Jellyfin, Seer and BookOrbit (for syncing Kobos).

Currently I have no security besides the built in login managers from the services, but I am considering setting up Authentik. I know I'm asking for trouble with my current set up.

I have elderly and extremely tech averse family members who live in two countries other than me, so tech support can be a challenge.

A lot of people suggest running a VPN, but it would be difficult for my family and I don't know how to make it work syncing our Kobos with BookOrbit.

I've also seen some posts about tunneling to a VPS somewhere and users can connect to the VPS without a VPN.

I feel this question has been asked several times, and I tried searching here and on the internet in general, but my knowledge is not good enough to use the right terms and to get something that is idiot proof.

Any suggestions on best practices or links to guides you recommend would be much appreciated. Also, what EU based affordable VPS would you recommend?

I currently use an Apple TV 4K, which is - as far as I'm aware - more or less the best streaming box you can buy. However, it's the version without ethernet, and Steam Link has become a dog over wifi for some reason. So I figured I'd look around to see if there's an alternative solution.

Hardware-wise, I have a Dell Optiplex 3020 or a 2014 Mac mini (running Debian), to choose from, but have no real idea where to go from there, beyond the vague notion that KDE have put big screen mode back into beta. I did have a play with that a few months ago in a VM, but was struck that there were (obviously) no applications that made any real use of it.

Does anyone out there run anything they've built themselves? If so, what?

The insidious urge to fix what ain't broke has arisen. I'll probably follow the official documentation, unless someone has a better suggestion.
I'm not running anything unusual and I haven't done much, if any, "customization". I update packages maybe a couple of times a week, so they're current.
Should I go ahead and put myself through this now, or wait until support is dropped and I'm forced?

I have Truenas Scale as a file repository. Then Proxmox on seperate machine but same network. On Proxmox I have VM withe several services. Some of these store several GBs of data so i would lime to mount datasets to Proxmox. What is the best wat of doing this? Mount a single nfs share to proxmox and the mount this share in the vm or should i mount the truenas daraset directly in the vm? The latter semms simpler? My.main cincern is avoiding disasters on services, vm and proxmox il nas goes offline for whatever reason. Is there a way to deal with this risk?

As the title says ive started running webmin. And i wanna know if its safe for me to reverse proxy (with 2fa) or should i just use tailscale or ssh to access it.
