  • Gonna file this under blaming the individual for systemic failure while things like the DMCA (making reverse engineering interoperability illegal among other things) and life + 50 copyright are in place and enforced worldwide by US trade deals.

    Here’s hoping Trump’s crapping on Pax Americana gives a once in a generation (or two) chance to get out from under.


  • Been using an quadlet podman arr stack for a year or two, pretty damn bulletproof once set up, easier to read, rootless, SELinux enabled, systemd controlled, update with podman auto-update. Worth the time to learn.

    podlet can help you hit the ground running. It can create Quadlet files out of Podman commands or even (Docker) Compose files. 90% of the time it works every time ;}, but even the oopses get you most of the way there.

    My arr stack is set up in a pod which means they all have their own gluetun network and come up as one, but you can just use Network=container:gluetun in container files.




  • more people use their servers exclusively for personal entertainment than I expected.

    Uh-huh, think of it like jigsaw puzzles…

    That said, I prioritize ease of maintenance and simplicity, still wouldn’t expect my family to pick it up in any reasonable amount of time, nor have the motivation, more’s the pity.

    I’ve moved to podman (quadlet) containers mostly, easy to read and edit, secure (mostly userspace), systemctl integration, autoupdate. I’ve done my distrohopping, fedora (in my case bazzite immutable) isn’t going anywhere, does everything I need. I run fairly lean, but have a bunch of stuff that can be spun up at a whim that I don’t use daily. It’s entertaining without being a burden, and useful stuff just happens.

    Honestly, ssh and btop cover most of my monitoring needs, serious stuff gets a notify-send to my laptop. I’ve tried the web gui stuff and I don’t look at it enough to justify it, I’m not a sysad monitoring hundreds of computers, it’s just a hobby.
