The problem isnt gmail, the problem is using an email for this purpose. Switching to protonmail wont make a difference. If you want privacy, use a different communications protocol. For example, use signal, and if anyone wants baby updates, they better install it too, cause thats the only way you’ll send them.

Whats the easiest way to contribute to the simplex communication network? When I run a relay node, how do I notify the network that my instance exists

Ive used easytag in the past.

That’s right, “text-generation-webui”. At least its unambiguous lol. Thanks for sharing.

What GPU are you using to run it? And what UI are you using to interface with it? (I know of gpt4all and the generic sounding ui-text-generation program or something)

What database client do you use? Maybe a plain database is enough with the right client.

Doesn’t need to. That’s a plus though. I think the features I like the most are dropdowns for foreign keys and more specific column types. For instance, a date type gives me a calendar picker, and an image type lets me upload and image and then see it as I browse the data.

Yes everyone would need a client (probably?) but after having recently set it up the first time, its incredibly simple.

You can also use p2p mesh vpn services like zerotier or tailscale to establish a direct connection without opening any port in the router at all.

Ive been playing with the nixified.ai project, which packages two web interfaces for LLMs and image generation. Im also looking into Tabby.ml for code assistant as well. I haven’t gotten deep, but these all look like promising options for utilitizing a server’s hardware but offering the functionality across the network.

I think a bigger concern is if someone managed to access bitwarden on a logged in instance. Think, leaving your laptop open, or someone steals it from you. If theres two apps for logging then both apps need to be accessible/compromised.

I use Vutlr. They have a nice UI.

What software did you use to make this image? Its very well done

I’ve been using OpenMediaVault inside Proxmox.

I’ve been very happy with OMV, for the short time I’ve been playing with it. Its FOSS and the web interface makes it very clear all the layers of abstraction you can use to manage a NAS. I highly recommend it.

And proxmox is good too, also FOSS (proxmox VE). I also has another slick web interface to manage stuff. I like the web interfaces because, albiet intimidating, it exposes alot of options available to me, which give me opportunities to research and understand how it works.

But I’m still working on getting everything with it set up, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt!

Programs like paperlessngx do a great job for cateloguing and indexing documents. I would like something similar for tagging personal photos and videos. But I would think the idea behind paperless would generalize relatively easy, and there would be something like paperless thats more general purpose and not just for documents.

You could technically make paperlessngx work, since you could catelogue photos, for instance. But it’s not flexible in the types of tags you can assign to it.

Something like metabase baserow, like a database client with quality of life UI features, might also work for you. You could build your own table for articles of clothing, name the tags you want, and even add images inline with each row.

EDIT: sorry, not metabase. I meant baserow⋮ baserow.io

I like it for all the apps. I got a cookbook app, forms app, rss feeder app, and more. It also lers me share a link to a file easily too. I also use syncthing, mostly since I sync more data than my VPS serving nextcloud can store.

Theres so many. Check out the awesome list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I think your stategy should be one service at a time. Do everything in docker, and start by tackling a simpler service. For example, you should try paperless-ngx. Absolute game changer. I didnt realize how much managing ny own directory structure sucked until I used this. Then, grow your service list more and more!

Tailscale is a mesh VPN. Its a level of abstraction passed a regular VPN, lime wireguard or OpenVPN. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood.

I don’t know how much content there is to share, so you might be overflowing with things to talk about every week. But I fear that doing so much effort weekly could be unsustainable. I would suggest, or hope you consider, a less freqent blog/podcast, like every other week. I think this would be more modest, and easier to maintain. You wouldn’t need to change to title of the blog, either.

Anyway, this is an exciting project and I’m thankful for your work.
