seems my #introduction didn't migrate so here we are.
hello. i used to be on fosstodon at @jabster28@fosstodon.org, but running my own seemed fun so now i'm on my own #sharkey instance at mace.lol

i'm currently in university for a computer science degree (no i won't be homeless.). i do a lot of #programming and like to mess around with general #devops stuff (containerisation and networking mostly) in my free time, a lot of my mini projects revolve around automating this or that and making it work with everything else i have in my own ecosystem.
i #selfhost a lot of services for ephemeral file sharing and password management etc.
my main languages are #javascript / #typescript and #rust but i've been wanting to learn some #cpp or c# recently (i don't always want a program that's 1000% correct, cargo.)
(also css is genuinely an a tier language. insanely fit for purpose.)
i do some #networking and find it pretty fun mostly

i play a lot of #splatoon in my free time. i'm also fond of #mahjong, #minesweeper, and #tetris (modern tetris (usually techmino), not the official app) to sink my time into if i'm on my phone or something.

some more stuff i'm into that's probably more fringe:

#wikipedia editing is pretty fun, though it's rare that i'll get a chance to correct/add to an article that i know about and can source. doing coi requests [en.wikipedia.org] is cool, though, you see some really interesting people

i'd love to be able to do #cooking faster but i feel that's only possible with enough time or money to cook when you don't need to (i have neither)

#libraries are really cool and i'd love to go to more of them and document them. working at one seems fun also

slightly related but i wouldn't mind getting better at #photography at some point (maybe make a pixelfed account?)

my only major political stance on here would probably be that #privacy is a fundamental human right, and a lot of things online right now don't let you control that as well as you should

i guess that leads into me liking #monero, there's not many other ways you can transfer wealth to someone without anyone else snooping. no, b*tcoin doesn't count, it's simply not fit for purpose.

that also goes into #cryptography i suppose. the mathematics inside things like ecdh is pretty beautiful. one of the reasons i'm going to university is to eventually be able to fully understand elliptic curves and a lot of the cryptography we use nowadays.

that's it, thanks for coming to my ted talk. make sure to smash that like button, subscribe, and hit the red bell to get notifications when i upload. also be sure to donate to my patreon and ko-fi, link's in the description. you can also buy the product from this video's spons-

okay i'm done

you should do a random act of kindness today. maybe tomorrow. or not, i'm not your mom.

Hey guys, I'm new to #selfhosting #selfhost
I have this hardware:

• 500gb hdd
• 8gb ram
• Intel i3I plan to selfhost a mastodon instance, Discourse, bookstack, etc... with Yunohost.I can install and try everything locally in a VM. But i don't know how to redirect the dns.What about a vps?#internet #foss #floss

Fun (actually not fun at all) fact about Caddy:

This expression will be merged with AND:

@matcher {
    path /foo
    header Header-Name value
}

@matcher {
    expression `path('/foo')`
    expression `header({'Header-Name': 'value'})`
}

Those who self host... how are you managing your fleet? Mine is growing and am currently doing manual SSH to run updates, etc.

What tools are out there that allow me to manage a fleet of Linux VMs? Not looking for anything fancy, but running upgrades would be great at a minimum. Thanks!

Am I the only one who ALWAYS has to look up the syntax for „ufw allow“?
I just can‘t seem to memorize it…

Dropped some new features for selfh.st/apps this morning that include updated bookmarking functionality, custom views for sharing with others, and new sort options (project age).

Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback!

Today I transferred my servers to another netcup account. Since I thought this could be interesting for other people, I wrote a quick blog post about it.

Gitea v1.23.4 Released: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.23.4
#linux #update #foss #release #gitea #selfhost #git

#TIL
Man kann den #passwortmanager #pass von https://www.passwordstore.org/ tatsächlich in knapp einer Stunde auch auf Windows zum Laufen bekommen (KAF = kids acceptance factor). Man braucht nur noch #gpg und #git und dann kann es auch schon losgehen:

https://github.com/mbos/Pass4Win#readme + https://www.gpg4win.de/download-de.html

Das Kind ist total happy, dass es die Passworte nun nicht mehr nur auf dem #iphone #ios hat Das andere hat sich für die "Passwörter" #app auf #ios entschieden. Mal sehen wie lange noch
