If you gave it a good push you could start marketing self-contained home server boxes as a mainstream product,

When Microsoft released Windows Home Server, I felt for sure that would ignite the flame. Yeah, it’s windows, but in the right direction I thought as far as home servers go. I’ve always felt that every home should have a server of some type. We have so much digital data now that has replaced the filing cabinet full of birth certificates, deeds to properties, financial documents, pictures, media, etc. that not having one seems to me to be a bad idea.

I think if a home server package were simple enough even a cave man could do it, and it got the average non-tech person over the hump of scary computer tech they don’t know, it would become a common appliance in homes and not the exception.

Cups gives you everything except the automating. Push come to shove, it’s a reasonable fall back. There is also WUD which does include automation.

Perhaps I should clarify. The project ‘appears’ to have been abandoned or is no longer being maintained. I don’t want to go starting shit that doesn’t need starting.

It’s on the list.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go

I’m sure I’d dig it. Alas, my seizure condition now won’t let me play moving graphics games. It can/does induce a seizure, which chaps my ass something fierce because there are a lot of kick ass games I’d like to try. Those graphics on Vintage Story look very nice.

OP, you bring back memories. I had an absolute blast running my server. Now, I had mine set up on a baremetal VPS with some balls because I was running a lot of add-ons and shaders. Good luck with your project. Minecraft, to me, is a bit more than just a game when you get into the guts of it.

Well, I’m not one to get all uppity about nomenclature. Home lab, home server, self host, what ever. I call the room all my toys are in, ‘The Lab’. It has musical instruments, keyboard controllers, servers, computers, electronics, et al. So ‘The Lab’ seemed to fit.

He’s so stacked that he knows, when he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when its Back to the lab again yo

I look at it like this:

• I don’t absolutely trust the security of my server. Sure, it hasn’t had a breach…yet, but that possibility is inevitable, given the amount of bots that keep trying to get in by the minute. It’s secure, yes, but is it secure enough to entrust the keys to my bank account, my business ventures, et al? IF somebody got the key to my Lemmy account, it would be bothersome, but not cataclysmic since all online accounts are silo’d with only a couple that are linked.
• Bitwarden spent a lot of time and money building a large infrastructure that is, imho, far more secure than my little server. Bitwarden has a pretty good track record. They have had some vulnerabilities, even as recent as '23 but these have been remediated.
• Confirmation bias…I’ve been using Bitwarden for untold years now and have never had an issue, other than the recent UI theming schema that was so castigated by users that they offered a way to switch back.

While hosting my own password manager would fit right in with the rest of my selfhosting, I think sometimes it’s better to defer to more secure options when dealing with highly sensitive data.

Don’t try to make sense of it. Just think ‘Oh yeah, it’s that oooold guy’ and nod sympathetically.

I say that because that’s how I use the three:

Readeck: Read it later Karakeep: Data preservation Linkwarden: Important links like business accounts, online accounts, etc.

That works too.

There is no real reason why you can’t use Linkwarden for data preservation. I tend to keep things separate. Read it later articles go in Readeck, data I want to save goes in Karakeep, and important bookmarks like online accounts, business links, etc go in Linkwarden. They are pretty much interchangeable, it’s just my wonky way of keeping everthing separated.

It’s definitely a solid replacement for Raindrop.io.

Linkwarden is very polished, has some neat features for bookmarks. Readeck is nice for quick read-it-later data. I use it a lot when I see an article I want to read, I’ll save it, and read it in the evening laying in bed with a bowl. Karakeep is for data preservation. Those are my top three.

imho, Karakeep is more for data preservation. Readeck is for articles you want to read later. Linkwarden is for important bookmarks like online accounts, billing accounts, etc. However, there is nothing that keeps you from using either as a bookmark app.

And here you are with your peanut gallery. Nice.

Other than hearing his name, I’ve never seen any of his content, nor do I know any of his lore. If in fact, he once was and has now changed his core convictions, then great. I have no issue with anyone who changes their minds in light of new evidence, or after taking inventory of one’s life, and deciding a new route. Both are commendable. Lord knows we’ve all done some shit in the past that was definitely cringe…I know I have. But we grow, and we learn, and in the process we become better human beings.

There’s also a licensing system in place with limitations on what kind of systems you can connect to in the community edition as I am trying to make a living out of this. I understand that this is a deal-breaker for some, so I wanted to give a heads-up.

Make yo’ paper bro. I have no issue with that.

I am always empathetic to my brother man’s needs. I think we have a moral obligation to help those in need. However, I am not always sympathetic with their actions. It can be quite the conundrum. Yet still, I have nothing but love in my heart for my brother man, no matter who they are or what they are, despite my disagreeance with their actions.
