What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
@jaackf
SyncThing. It's the best sort of selfhosted program. You set it up once and then never think about it because it just keeps quietly doing what you wanted.
Wikis can be great if you've got a few folks that need to coordinate information.

If you're scripting it yourself, https://www.complete.org/dar/ gives a few extra niceties over just zip files or tarballs.
Thank @jgoerzen for the nice summary.

Did Google mislead advertisers about TrueView skippable in-stream ads for the past three years?

@DeadNinja @Karlos_Cantana I suspect that was sarcasm.

What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?

Really? Not .local? Why is it the default on so much?

I've been working on using Guix. Theoretically, I love the idea, but there's definitely some learning curve.

A good guide by an actual entomologist on insect hotels, without the harmful designs of many that are sold in stores.
@TiredSpider
Thank you! I'd heard the mass produced ones weren't great, but the people I'd heard that from never had details.

Is it feasible to use cephfs for /home?
@Secret300
I'm pretty sure I've seen OpenAFS used for this.
Honestly, though, put your dotfiles & other text in version control and anything binary in SyncThing. It's going to be way less headache.

What do you recommend to selfhost code repositories?

@activator90
https://forgejo.org/ is attempting to solve that problem. If we all adopt it (or other federated forges that may appear), we don't need GitHub at all.

[Need Advice] How do I setup remote ssh for my jellyfin server?
Reply in thread
@Lateralking
A VPN is an attack vector, too, and as @vegetaaaaaaa said, it's not like you can slouch on hardening ssh regardless of where it listens.
It also adds complexity. One more thing to go wrong.
Do what you like, of course. Your devices, your choice.

I see it from over here in Mastodon land. Interestingly, all the timestamps look ok from here.

Using a dotfiles manager makes it a little easier to avoid, even if it's just GNU Stow.

You can do what's called "dual boot" where both (or even more than 2) OSes are available and you pick which to use at boot.
