Kleine Homelab-Optimierung 🌱
DB-Backups von gzip auf zstd --rsyncable umgestellt:
📦 vorher: ~919 MB
📦 nachher: ~529 MB
➡️ 42,5 % weniger Daten
Laufzeit praktisch gleich: 7:43 vs. 7:48 min.
Weniger speichern und übertragen bei gleicher Laufzeit – kleine Effizienzgewinne summieren sich.

Got a phone interview in a few minutes, but before that: time to make sure backups are still running like their supposed to. Still loving Databasus though I really need to get email notifications setup eventually.

For several days now my DSL Internet at home is broken (because I moved the cabinet?), so my #homelab and its web infrastructure is unavailable - even locally because of CSRF and https annoyances. 🙄
Single point of failure, huh...
At least anything :gitannex: #gitAnnex is reliable as ever …

Quite happy after playing with @… in my #homelab today. Auth against #authentik works including automatic account provisioning, Web UI as well as Android…

Sigh.
The downside to #digital #sovereignty and #selfhosting all your own data/services in a #homelab is you're really bo…

Ich komme mir beim Basteln an den heimischen Storagesystemen mittlerweile fast vor wie ein Juwelier oder Goldschmied.
Ein falscher Handgriff und man versenkt gefühlt ein kleines Vermögen. Ich habe eben mal wieder die aktuellen Festplattenpreise gecheckt – wenn das so weitergeht, wandern die 3,5-Zoll-Platten demnächst nicht mehr ins externe Gehäuse oder NAS, sondern direkt ins Bankschließfach.

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab and #SelfHosting
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab or self hosting posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation.

Phew, finally done migrating the #homelab to the new ISP's router. I managed to have an overlap period with the old router still around and could link up the two subnets with a static route and "Additional subnet" functionality on the new Zyxel which made the migration much less painful than it could have been.

Periodic git-extra-commands announcement
#git helper scripts and other git-related resources I've accumulated over the years.
You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically.
