One could simply infer the location history from the logs though.

Would like Davids stars juxtaposed with the swatchtikas but that could get you in some trouble.

Yea in get that, i was talking in terms of total costs.

E: actually looked it up, most likely the whole thing wouldve been max 10000euros to the taxpayer around here (Finland). Workup+surgery+hospital stay.

Congrats! Sounds like an excellent prognonsis!

Also, Jesus fucking christ a 100000 dollars for a workup+surgery? A similar case is propably no more than 10-15k€ in northern europe (paid by the taxpayer of course).

This is what i did but on the router. I have openwrt on the router. You can install an extension called PBR (policy based routing) on it.

Then you set up one wireguard interface that’s in the same firewall zone as your LAN to your lan and another that’s in the WAN. You can create policies to route any outbound connections (including the ones from your mobile client devices) through the commercial WAN wireguard connection.

In addition for family members access i set up a pangolin instance (kind of like tailscale but selfhosted) on a Hezner VPS and a very simple oauth provider (pocket id) for authentication. Ive got a bunch of users and nobody had any problems with the signup process after i sent them the invite link.

That way i can always be directly in my lan but other users can access without accessing my lan at all.

Surgeon.

Seeing tech ceo’s at the trump inauguration got me sick in the stomach. I unsubscribed from everything out of spite and nausea and learned to selfhost over the course of what is almost a year now. At first it took up all my spare time and made my wife crazy. Now it’s been several weeks since i last had to sudo anything.

It also opened my eyes to how stupid everything IT related in my country is. My municipality for example bought for what has now become a billion fucking euros a digital health record system from Epic. It’s the shittiest piece of software ive ever used, fully closed source and there’s ongoing customization costs trying to get it to work. We’re also a 100% onboard with office360 (copilot and all).

As a phycisian ive used AI to check if i have missed anything in my train of thought. Never really changed my decision though. Has been useful to hather up relevant sitations for my presentations as well. But that’s about it. It’s truly shite at interpreting scientific research data on its own for example. Most of the time it will parrot the conclusions of the authors.

Just run a small linux pc and a wireless keyboard+mouse

Yes they’ll be in a conduit

Oh for sure feels like that in Finland too but apparently statistically speaking for every one of those families there’s a bunch of people who never reproduce whereas middle class educated people have 2-3 children pretty consistently.

I dont know whats the situation in france but in finland highly educated (middle class) people have more children than working class people.

It’s going well. I started selfhosting most of my services on a debian machine. TV doesnt have internet anymore, it’s hooked to a fedora mini pc that i use to play media. I’ve installed Asahi fedora on my M1 Pro macbook and it’s flawless.

Dont miss anything. The only thing that pisses me off is when i work on a document on nextcloud (using onlyoffice) it doesnt look nice on MS office. So for work stuff i have to sometimes log into ms office account and use their cloud to work on a presentation or something.

I also kind of have to keep the OSX installation for some photography stuff although when i have the time ill look for linux alternatives. Mainly i need something to edit fujifilm raw photos with

Ive been very satisfied with my two user instance set up using the AIO container via docker compose. They have that as a standardized deployment method nowadays. You can choose additional integrated services like onlyoffice and schedule backups via borg in the AIO mastercontainer’s webUI. My server (with a i3 coffee lake and 16GB DDR4) has 14 other services including immich and jellyfin. No performance issues whatsoever. I think nextcloud has really stepped it up.

We (me and my wife) even use the kanban board as a PWA Although it’s a little clunky it works and all the deadlines even show up as tasks in my ical. Caldav was a bit weird to set up though.

Using the virtual file sync client for osx so most of the files are actually never kept on the client device.

Religion?

Obviously home assistant for coordination.

For network hardware I think the best you can do is try to find a router with taiwanese manufacturing and components (microtik? a latvian router manufacturer)

For IoTs there’s the ZigBee standard and more recently the thread standard for radio communication between the devices and the server so read up on those.

it’s possible to find some stuff with nordic semionductor chips in them, (eve energy, eufy smart lock e30, DIY development kits) but mostly youre stuck with us and china based silicon. There are many european companies. Ikea, Shelly being the most famous ones.

My duckdns domain was deemed untrustworthy and i hit the firewall with it.

Spinning up a pangolin instance on a vps and getting a proper .fi (finland) domain fixed it. Plus it’s pretty bad form exposing ports directly instead of using a reverse proxy (and im guessing youre not using something like fail2ban and crowdsec and geoblocking either to keep the bots out.) Pangolin is an “all in one” solution that uses traefik for reverse proxy, handles certs automatically and almost automates the setup of Crowdsec for you. I highly recommend it. Can be used locally too if needed.

A self hosted vpn on a vps droplet would have the same issue as a vpn provider, no? They’d (the vps provider) would have logs of the adresses you’ve connected to etc.

Im on the same boat. Especiakly claude opus 4.5 writes better scripts in 20s than i could in 2 hours of web search and debugging

For critical baremetal/live situations i will use the docs and/or use AI for debugging help only.

Im on the same boat, Pangolin on a vps with some other services. Really inpressed with pangolin and usung pocket id for oauth witg great success

I’ve been using desec.io since it’s european, non profit and privacy oriented. Bring your own domain though. Works well, although my caddy plugin has problems getting certs sometimes. My pangolin instance never has any issues getting certs so might be caddy desec plugin specific.
