What we did in my dads house was just to repurpouse old wifi routers as access points and put them everywhere where there was no coverage. But we pulled Ethernet all the way to each of them. Then we put the same SSID and password so everything would just switch to the one with the atrongest signal automatically.

This is so funny

I have a raspberry pie with Home assistant on it and I run Nginx Proxy Manager on it. It does the whole HTTPS thing and exposes specific services from my internal network for easy access for me and my family.

It gets more complicated in your late 30 and 40 because your patents push the wheel into your hands and you have to drive their car too at the same time.

I only use Jellyfin because we want to watch it on the TV and not on the laptop.

Radicals is an amazing software but I also struggled to understand the concept at first, the documentation assumes you know so much already, which you normally don’t. But once you get through the initial hurdle it’s really reliable and uses minimal resources.

But about the videos and photos I think you’re a bit wrong, I still rewatch my dads home videos from the 90’s

I moved to https://mxroute.com/ and payed $15 for three years of hosting because they had some promotion.

Thanks, my old german blog is https://paradies.jeena.net/ but the last post there is from 2012, so I’m not posting in German anymore. I stopped when I moved to Sweden and couldn’t share my blog with anyone, that’s when I started the new blog in English so that both the Germans and Swedes could at least in theory read it. Sadly I don’t have much time for well researched blog posts, so I only seldom post even there, but once in a while I do.

Swedish I never blogged in, even though it would have been good to improve my Swedish writing skills.

While this is true, to be fair to them your family and friends probably stopped posting years ago.

I wrote about the same frustration a while ago: https://jeena.net/my-facebook-feed

In that article I also mention https://www.facebook.com/?filter=friends&sk=h_chr which only shows posts of your friends which I used for some time as my bookmark for Facebook, but so few people post there that it’s just not enough for me to come back regularly.

As a child in the 90ies I did not know you could buy games, the only way I knew was to copy it from a friend.

Later my cousin traveled to Poland where he bought pirated floppy disks, this is how I realized that you could somehow pay to get access to many new games.

God Is Not Great - How Religion Poisons Everything

There are intellectual ways to frame it.

Also I have a very emotional podcast episode with a Jehovas Vittnesses surviver in Sweden: https://jeena.net/pods/18

Because you point to :latest and everything is dockerized and on one machine? How does it know when it’s time to upgrade?

Yeah, For some reason I didn’t think of ansible even though I use it at work regularly. Thanks for pointing it out!

And it’s stable enough for you? Do you go service by service or is it good enough for everything?

So everything is dockerized and points to :latest?

What about the necessary changes to the docker compose files? What about changes necessary in nginx configs?

I guess you also read each release notes manually?

I am developing a script which will do that specifically for my services.

Right now at the first stage it only checks GitHub, Codeberg, etc. To check if there is a new version compared to what each service is running right now.

https://git.jeena.net/jeena/service-update-alerts

I am extending it now with a auto update part, but it’s difficult because sometimes I can’t just call a static script because some other migration things need to run. So I have a classifier which takes the release notes and let’s a local LLM to judge if it’s OK to run the automation or if I need to do it manually. But for that I am collecting old release notes as examples from each service. This takes forever to do so I only have it done for PieFed, PeerTube, Immich and open-webui, and I didn’t push those changes to the public repo yet.

Hm, I didn’t think of ansible, that’s something I should think about to use.

I’m vibe coding a app for my TV to show random pictures from my immich instance on the TV and now it’s a bit broken and anyway I want it to fix the app!
