What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?
I read somewhere that GoPros and other action cameras are one of the least used purchases, so I figured "that should mean there's plenty on eBay". So grabbed up second hand bargain, played around with it for a couple of weeks, bought some extra batteries and other accessories, and since then it's sat in the cupboard except for a single occasion.
Turns out you don't need an action cam if you're not getting any action.

No one's mentioned Forgejo yet? Solid git and artifact repository.

It would be crazy if someone died of a heart attack while crowd surfing and hundreds of people just unwittingly pushed a corpse around.

Recommendations for a source code hosting service
Forgejo - actively developed open source. It's what powers Codeberg. Easy to set up and manage with Docker. I moved to it from Gogs and skipped Gitea after reading about the forks.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

+1 for the main risk to my service reliability being me getting distracted by some other shiny thing and getting behind on maintenance.

Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options?
Forgejo + Tailscale. Forgejo is the app behind Codeberg so it's battle tested. I switched to it from Gitea after the controversy.

Ozone hole over Antarctica grows to one of the largest on record, scientists say

Me too. I've been carrying it around in my head as "the time we listened to scientists, and almost everyone worked together on some short term pain for worldwide long term gain". I was even hoping we might do something like that again.

Bathroom scale options?
Reply in thread
I mean, yes, I could. But I'm committed to the #selfhosted life where I spend hours building unnecessarily complicated systems to make my life easier in small ways.

I like to stack empty toilet rolls concentrically. So far my record is 12.
Are you posting the most recent one into the middle, or squooshing them up to fit them inside the most recent one?

Mullvad and Tailscale Announce Partnership
Reply in thread
Tailscale is a very cool way of seamlessly creating a private network spread out geographically. Devices sign into the Tailnet from anywhere. It's very big in the selfhosted community (it has a generous free tier). For example my home servers are signed in, so I'm able to stream from my media server to my phone over my private Tailnet tunneled through the internet. I also have an offsite backup location with another server connected to the Tailnet for accepting automated backups.
The underlying technology is Wireguard. It is very smart about figuring out the most effective route - If I'm on my laptop in my home wifi, trafffic from my servers is direct, if I'm away somewhere, it's piped though the net securely. What Tailscale adds is ease of setup and native apps for each device.
The privacy angle is that I'm able to get rid of all the cloud services I used to rely on. For example I don't want my CCTV system connected to a cloud provider, but with Tailnet I can connect to my cameras over the internet without having to expose the system to a data mining corporation.

So, I want a t-shirt to show off love to open source. I need some org to buy it from (so my money counts). I also want it to have a clear message to regular people.

The Debian thong made me laugh. Who is buying this? For themselves, their partners? I'm imagining Christmas morning when I'm trying to explain the value of this gift you've just opened.
