Oh interesting, I should have read that section more carefully

I think the original comment still stands though right? You can hand roll a keyed hash if you use sha3 or a truncated sha2. It saves you having to do two hash operations
Re:Cloud in a Bottle: making self-hosting accessible to everyone on Saturday September 05, 2026 @11:29PM (#49583055)
Interesting project! I've found self hosting a lot more approachable with the advent of AI to help with inevitable errors. I run every new app in its own service account and as a rootless podman quadlet. There are three main difficulties that I come up against with every app. First is backups, or more accurately restoring data. My understanding is that just taking a snapshot doesn't always give you a working restore point because an app could be mid-database migration or something like that. Second is updates, and third is accessibility outside the network. I am slowly working on my own solutions, interested to know how you tackle those though?
