Nice write-up. I’d take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

A cheap VPS with headscale. Or just ZeroTier.com free plan.

As for git, many basic concepts (e.g. staging area) clicked for me after reading some articles that Atlassian (people behind BitBucket) wrote. Other than that, I’d recommend adamj.eu 's book “Git DX” which is on gumroad. Haven’t read it, tho. But I read his Django DX and like 90% of it was stuff I had to learn on my own, and thought: oh, how come I didn’t find this book earlier…

AV1 video codec !

Oh, fair point. Perhaps rclone.org then! :O

Syncthing. Look no further, just check the “untrusted device” so that you don’t give unencrypted data to your friend’s disk.

Perhaps snyk.io I used it in the past, but I didn’t find it quite useful. Now I have a github action to upgrade dependencies every week. But you want some kind of scanner to be more involved on the actual codebase. Did you look into https://github.com/marketplace?query=security ? That’s what I would do. But I never heard of any of those listed there. Let us know your findings after some time if you test 'em ;) good luck!

This! And, baby-steps: don’t go about installing every app you see. Try backup strategies, put them to test (bring service down and up again with data from backup). Play, have fun.

He asks whatever model is running behind either system to do the comparison and pastes the text. It’s full of errors, like perplexica saying farfalle doesn’t use LLM. Meanwhile, I just checked and it supports anything from ollama to groq (gpt4o, sonnet, etc.)

This post is ultra low quality.

Perhaps https://rclone.org/crypt/

That’s also more on to who the user is (how they interact with the device.) IMHO it’s valuable to at least get to search the internet with an error message. I switched over a decade ago, but on Windows all I had was hexadecimal codes or vague messages. I was a power user, fiddling with all sorts of software, and things did break on either side. I stayed where I could learn, a steep curve, sure. But not a wall.

I use anzo and as password an empty string. It’s never been guessed :p

I am very much looking for feedback on this self-proclaimed simple oidc. Authentik is not as bad as Keycloak, but from what I reckon theres still room for improvement! -fingers crossed-

This is oooold. Like in, it was superseded long agooo.

s/git/github please

using Tor is enough meta data if you were to use it to safeguard from some actors (e.g. state). I’m just saying from the perspective of some of the hypothetical personas as defined by Tor project itself. If it were to boil this down to me, I would rather live without the correlation attacks (e.g. ISP giving me seemingly random disconnects) and just do my casual reading on cracking on the clear-net.

Plus, just connecting to Tor is very much a huge exposure imho. I’d use a VPN. Now, if I’m having a VPN, probably wireguard, why would I need Tor? Some providers grant you the ability to interconnect devices under your account. So, just run the VPN on the server. This is why I love NordLynx. It’s just like tailscale.

I might try vaultwarden myself, given that my life partner is always asking me for some platform password I already shared. Is possible to use just on LAN to sync and keep using the passwords from the android client while out of reach? I was just reading about 30-days sessions in the docs. Apparently, yes. That’s huge (for me, I’d like not to expose anything, even with VPN)

The syncthing server only gives metadata (no files, only IPs) between the devices, so they can connect to each other. And it’s self-hostable.
