BSD Cafe Billboard

@BastilleBSD well apparently snappymail is abandonware, the maintainer is MIA.

Unfortunately, the hosted website is no longer available. That being said, it's still interesting... very, very interesting...https://btxx.org/posts/memory/#smolweb #embedded #rpi #ownyourdata #selfhosting #selfhosted

I've been heavily poking at littleFedi by @stefano and quite excited about it.I wrote about it in another Blaugust attempt: Big hopes for littleFedi. Also available on my test account ​@shom@littleone.littlefedi.social's post/blog.#littleFedi #Blaugust #Fediverse #Selfhosting

@homegrown@social.growyourown.services @stefano@bsd.cafe thank you for sharing it!

@joel Nah, the laptop runs Linux. The ethernet device was not well supported on NetBSD.I've been very unlucky with the old laptops I have. All of them have some kind of hardware issues with NetBSD.So it's kvm+qemu. And the VMs run the services. Firewall included.

@BastilleBSD I have some CO2 measurement / air quality in my plant automation setup in my living room with my esp32 firmware #cangrow And also do some extended monitoring with #checkmk - but dont have a notification for that configured (yet? I do have for other monitoring services notification by mastodon tho ^^)

Ooof, sucks when firefox breaks.CC: @RootMoose@bsd.cafe @kirby@shitposter.world

If you are #selfhosting / #homelabbing: you have my utmost respect. Do not trust other parties to have your back - because they don't.However, few words to the wise: if you operate a minimalist setup - eg everything running in VMs on a single host: please do consider the consequences of downtime.You probably don't want to run your critical services on one machine without a fallback. If those services include your smarthome foundation, DNS and firewalling: you don't want to troubleshoot in the dark because everything is down and you can't even turn on the light anymore.You aren't the first nor won't he the last to learn this lesson when disaster strikes though

@ianthetechie I cannot recommend any of those, except for the bedrock, as it's the only one I own. But in November and December 2024, I made a comparison between the bedrock, 3 Asrock industrial PC, one ASUS, and the Cirrus7.The bedrock was probably the most expensive, but at the time it had the best specs.What I'm looking for now is something way cheaper, with less features.edit: typo.

"Twasn't me..." "Well... it was teh case's fault!!!11!!!" If you ever wanted a good reason to keep around your failed hard drives, scavenging screwed up logic boards is a good reason. Ha!#Linux #RunBSD #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #Hardware #HDD

@_elena pretty sure someone can do better, but yes, you can quote me
