Sorry, not clear to me what this accomplishes. Yes you buy a domain and use it for your email, then if and when you switch, you also migrate imap-to-imap all your email… It’s a pretty easy thing to do and there are tools just for this purpose.

Is this a script to do the same?

3, 2, 1… Test the backup!

… Is that the rule, right?

I have been using the link to share… Its not a weird thing, just a filesystem link between radicale users…

But if now it’s easier to manage, good to know… Let us know!

Update : my ISP does not provide GUA… So, whatever. Stick to IPv4 for the time being, no need to get complicated with IPv6 nat when I already have IPv4 nat working fine.

I actually have two ISP and one does support ip 6 with a GUA and that’s where I got confused… Unfortunately, it’s the one providing 20mb/sec FTTC that I use only for backup. The main one, the one providing 300mb/sec over FVA does not.

Mostly because my files stay on my hardware, on my network. In case of internet down/broken/filtered I can still access all my data. That is one of the points of self hosting. Not the only one, granted, and maybe not even the most critical, but having the opportunity, better to host on your turf.

Go ahead the self host on a cloud somewhere, nothing bad about that! Have fun, enjoy, learn and be digitally independent is the core of self hosting.

Ok, i misunderstood!

Why use an external cloud? While its technically still kind of self its not self hosted anymore IMHO. You would still be running your services, but on somebody else, rented, hardware. While I do the same for a few services (like email), i wouldn’t suggest it for general services that you want to reside on your turf (like immich, music, 'arrs, passwords, whatever)

How do I find out if the ISP is handling me a single address or a /64 or whatever?

Mm no, not using dyndns. I am missing IPv6 support on the LAN side… But I have it on the wan side

Nope, no vpn

That seems overkill, in fact my 20y old only address still works pretty fine, and with rspamd setup, with basic settings, the annoying few emails have been intercepted now.

But indeed an extreme but effective approach, yours.

Do you have documentation or references on how to setup rspamd?

What? I have opnSense how would I filter spam with it?

Zfs for some reasons is always loved by the self hosting experts.

Personally I don’t like it because it’s over complicated and not officially part of the Linux kernel.

20y of self hosting for me means Linux software raid (raid1 then moved to raid5) and mostly ext4, recently (=last 2 years) upgraded to btrfs on my data raid. Btrfs at least is integrated in the Linux kernel and while has some drawbacks (don’t do raid with btrfs, put btrfs on MD raid instead) its been super rock solid.

I would have kept ext4, but thought why not try btrfs, and it’s been so smooth that I had no reasons to go back.

Probably rage bait.

Anyway, I like the simplicity of OpenRC and prefer it over systemd. After many years, I never had a reason to switch my Gentoo boxes (servers, laptops, etc) over.

I use systemd at work too, and it always feel unnecessarily complicated and that fixes issues I never had.

Whatever fit your bills I guess. Choice is good, so I am happily applying my choices with OpenRC.

We don’t need fake ai written posts against AI.

And frankly the only believable thing is the AI hallucinating.

Even the point that auth was missing is not believable.

The 80% is useless, batteries are not built to be charged continuously. I suggest you use a smart plug that you turn on and off periodically

If you get the USB working, beware of bulging battery: its not a IF but a WHEN if you keep it plugged 24/7.

Also,mostly depend on postmarket is kernel drivers what will actually work over USB.

OpenRC here, on Gentoo.

It works pretty well, fast and simple, honestly I never felt the need for SystemD.

I use the latter at work sometimes, I don’t really like how it changed the way stuff works, but I have nothing against it. I just feel the extra complexity is not needed in all of my home setups (laptops, servers, etc). So it’s OpenRC everywhere for me.

Thanks you, it means a lot. Just to be clear for whomever didn’t go there: there is zero monetization, no ads, no profiling.
