I started using Chezmoi as well a year or so ago. Its the only one I've managed to stick with and not end up with a mess of different setups across machines.
Re:Add ability to choose a custom coordination server on Monday August 15, 2022 @08:25AM (#32468777)
Its really impressive how much Tailscale care about the UX of the whole product all the way down to the level of not over complicating their menus.

The whole Tailscale experience for an enduser (ie not Tailscale admin) is so much nicer than compared with something like OpenVPN in a place without MDM.

I had to change Microsoft -> MS and Cloudflare to CF otherwise the title wouldn't submit.

Original title in full is: Sending Spammers to Password Purgatory with Microsoft Power Automate and Cloudflare Workers KV

I've seen quite a few Flarum forums pop up recently. I wonder how it stacks up against Discourse in resource requirements? Discourse isn't a lightweight app (not a criticism, just an observation).

+1 for Mimestream! Fantastic client. I'm hoping they'll add support for other services like Fastmail through JMAP but honestly, just Gmail support alone makes the app worth it.

Runs on Hugo hosted by Netlify. I want to make it more minimalist, I really like how clean and simple Jim Neilson's is for example https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/

Re:Start Self Hosting on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @09:44PM (#30785626)
Damn, that sucks. How painful.

Honestly tempted to ditch docker-compose in favour of just a bunch of LXC/LCD containers in place. Sure, I mightn't have all the nice networking but damn each container getting internet-routable IPv6 address is just damn nice.

Re:Start Self Hosting on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @08:31PM (#30785248)
How'd you go getting docker + IPv6 going? I spent hours trying to get docker containers to get native IPv6 IPs and eventually gave up because it was to painful.
Re:Hackers claim to have breached Okta systems on Tuesday March 22, 2022 @02:20AM (#30763217)
One of the various twitter threads mentions that the account they used was suspended so perhaps they no longer have access.

Re:Plaintext Productivity on Sunday March 20, 2022 @07:11PM (#30747779)
I'm a recent Obsidian convert, absolutely love it and its the only note taking app that I've managed to stick to past a few weeks. How do you use custom scripts in it? I'm aware you can make plugins and things for it but I'd love to be able to write up a script or two to update some shortcodes for some nice weekly stats in a few places if possible
Re:Four Secret Novels by Brandon Sanderson on Tuesday March 01, 2022 @10:24PM (#30523283)
Emperor's Soul is a fantastic book along with Warbreaker. The world building Sanderson does is amazing even in his shorter books.
Re:Switching from macOS to Pop_OS on Sunday January 16, 2022 @07:30PM (#29961993)
Has anyone been able to successfully resolve screen tearing with nVidia graphics cards on linux? I have a nVidia 1070 with a beefy AMD Ryzen 7 3700X that I would love to use as a daily driver but I just can't stand scrolling in FF on it. I constantly get tearing and other artifacts that make it so frustrating to use I give up.

I've tried every tutorial I can find on the net, every CLI flag etc. Nothing seems to work!

Re:Should you use Let's Encrypt for internal hostnames? on Wednesday January 05, 2022 @10:25PM (#29818952)
I really want to try and deploy smallstep at home but one stumbling block I always hit is deploying the CA (or ideally the mTLS certificate!) to end user devices like phones, laptops etc. Maybe I'm missing something entirely but I think I'd need a full MDM profile or setup for phones/mobile devices. Is this theoretically a lot easier than I'm making it? I'd just need an iPad, iPhone and MacBook.

Apart from that thankyou so much for what you've done and provided for the opensource community. The smallstep toolkit is truly fantastic.

Re:Caddy – Open-source web server with automatic HTTPS on Monday November 29, 2021 @05:39PM (#29386225)
It’s great you’ve got some protections in place to prevent it from happening again. That inspires some confidence.

Thanks for all the work yourself and Matt do on Caddy.

Re:Caddy – Open-source web server with automatic HTTPS on Monday November 29, 2021 @04:55PM (#29385757)
I really like Caddy and use it on a few projects. Its a good piece of software that generally just works.

Their latest security incident leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy though. The only announcement for it was on twitter[1] and a footnote on one of the releases[2]. I don't believe there was ever a mention of the incident on the official forum so if you weren't following them on Twitter you'd never find out.

The general messaging around it was "a GitHub bug caused it" and its never really been followed up on publicly :\
