  • Almost all oft their breaking changes over the last few months were about their docker-compose setup and the simplification of the same. They’ve startend out with multiple purpose-specific (micro) containers, which turned out as a Bad design decision. These changes require manual intervention but seem to be mostly finished, so I don’t expect these to be many breaking changes in the forsseeable future.

    The better you plan ahead, the fewer breaking changes you have to impose on your users.

    I agree. From what I’ve read, they now have (published) plans for what’s ahead.


  • desec.io can be used with any domain registrar and has an API with support for various ddns clients (ddclient, lego).

    deSEC is a free DNS hosting service, designed with security in mind.

    Running on open-source software and supported by SSE, deSEC is free for everyone to use.

    Edit: To clarify, desec.io does not sell/rent domains. Desec has to be set as the authoritative nameserver on the registrar, then desec can manage domain records instead of the registrar (which usually also provides their own domain hosting for “free” by default).





  • I’m using Proxmox with a NixOS LXC for Jellyfin/*arr. The media is stored on a single btrfs HDD, because high uptime (RAID) isn’t necessary for me and it’s media I can simply redownload.

    I’m looking into switching to NixOS on bare metal, because I don’t need the UI of proxmox and most other features.

    Symphonium is great for music, even though it’s closed source and paid. I’m mostly using Spotify though.

    Findroid is an awesome native Android app for watching tv/movies, altough it doesn’t support transcoding.










  • The global IPv6 address is usually not directly reachable from the internet for incoming traffic. There’s still the router with a firewall which blocks all incoming connections, so having an IP for each device doesn’t make a difference for security.
    With IPv6 ports still have to be forwarded on consumer routers by default, the main difference is that it doesn’t have to be translated to a different IP.

    This also means I can have multiple hosts on my home network listening on the same ports, because their public IP’s are different.
