Did you check the gluetun logs? Maybe set them to debug level, they might reveal something

I currently run all my self-hosted apps either on Podman in a VM or in LXCs on Proxmox. For hardware, I'm using a Chinese-made mini computer with an Intel N150 and 16GB of DDR5 RAM that I bought before the whole AI hype started. I also have a Synology NAS that I use mainly for media and photo storage.

I've been thinking about tinkering with Kubernetes in my homelab for a while now (I already use it extensively at work, so I'm quite familiar with it), and I started looking around for used hardware to use as bare metal nodes. Nothing fancy—I'm looking for 1 or 2 mini servers or SFF with at least 16GB of memory and a decent CPU (4–6 cores). But with current prices, even decently priced used hardware (~200–250€) is quite difficult to find in Europe, and most of it is HP stuff with Lenovo being a rare breed around here. I won't even get started on newly bought hardware...

If you've bought hardware in this market recently, how did it go for you? Or are most of you holding out for now, waiting for better times?

Well there is wg-easy which comes with a very decent GUI imho

Blorp for me

Which (learning the language) was also quite unrealistically depicted in the book imho, at least how fast he learned an alien language. But that might just be me.

I don't know about Home Assistant, but I am using Glance. I love the aesthetic and that you can configure it with descriptive yaml files.

But I think this is also a question you need to ask yourself: Do you want to "click together" a dashboard aka one with a nice GUI where you can configute everything (e.g. Homarr). Or rather one with config files like Glance and a bit simpler in its feature set.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

In the meantime I tried the app and it looks awesome! However, I noticed the app relies on google's services location accuracy unfortunately. This is kind of a deal breaker for me to use the app for now. But I get that imlementing an F-Droid version is not your top priority, so I'll follow the project and patiently wait for it :)

Are there any plans to make the android app available on F-Droid as well? Or releasing the apk in the GitHub repo so we can install it with Obtainium?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere, couldn't find it in your post or on the website.

Nice blog post you wrote there, I like how you go into some details about the problems you faced hosting Matrix.

Hey guys, I recently started to play with the thought to deploy a Snikket (XMPP) server on my VPS to play around with it a bit. I already had a Matrix (Continuwuity) server running on an older VPS with Docker at one point. But besides me using some bridges (WhatsApp, Signal etc.) it didn't see a lot of use. Originally I had set it up with the goal to replace Discord, but so far couldn't get my small group of gamer friends to switch to something else.

What are your experiences with XMPP (doesn't have to be Snikket) or Matrix? Would you recommend one over the other maintenance and/or usability wise?

Just curious what the community's current sentiment is in regards to private self hosted messaging services 😊

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have experience running their services on a Lenovo ThinkCentre, specifically a Lenovo ThinkCentre M70Q Gen1? From what I read they can be quite efficient when it comes to idle power draw.

I have the chance to buy a refurbished one for approx. €380, coming with a i5-10400T, 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB NVMe SSD. Do you guys think the price sounds fair?

I am mainly looking to expand my Proxmox single host setup comprising of an Intel N150 mini PC with a second node as backup. Maybe down the line if I can get my hands on another affordable mini PC I might dabble in setting up a Kubernetes cluster. But that's a project for another day 😄

That's a sweet looking ship indeed! How was your experience collecting all the necessary ship parts to build this? Do you think it helped make it more enjoyable to follow a youtube guide?

Nowadays being over 30 and having a child I don't find as much time playing games anymore. Which makes the grinding part of games so much less enjoying and worth while. So following a youtube tutorial sometimes helps me to get through the more grindier spects of a game if its not possible to circumnavigate them.

PS: Woulf you mind sharing the youtube tutorial you followed?

Don't know, I really would like to love the game. Everytime a new update drops I try to pick up the game, but time and time again I struggle to find a game loop which really grabs my attention and keeps me playing. I either fall back into ressource grinding or trying to unlock all expedition rewards. Both getting repetitive and boring after some hours of playing. It's really a shame as I love the aesthetic and somehow casual feel of the game.

If you guys have any recommendations how to make the game enjoyable again, please feel free to drop a comment, would love to hear from you how you play NMS.

Just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for sharing your findings and taking the time to write your post here. I am sure you spent a lot of time and effort researching all of this. These kinds of posts are why I love Lemmy and its communities.

Not currently in need of a new VPN, pretty happy with Proton and my plan is active for another 1.5 years. But I still wanted to say I appreciate your post.
