I also thought about this, but instead of letting the NAS pull the backups, just let the NAS ping the local machine whenever it gets powered on.

This way, the local machine would know, when it’s time to push.

Come on, They build this stuff open source, so that you can self host it completely free of charge.

Advertising their own paid infrastructure to counterfinance development is a no brainer

Thanks for your effort, I like it :)

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know of a tool that supports RSS,Telegram,Instagram and whatsapp channels ?

As in have you heard of deprecated IPv6 addresses before?

Definetly not 0.o

It’s really hard to actually believe that a problem like this hasn’t got a 1-word-command + flag solution yet. I mean you could ecxpect something like

ip -6 -i eno0

or so…

And yes, totally agree on the edit part! It’s always nice to at least no about all the options that exist and smb found out hustling the same struggle like me :D

Isn’t it incredible, that we have to read blogposts to learn how to extract an IP addr of a network interface in the shell … in json … in 2025 ??!

Some problems will never really get solved.

Thanks for the write up !

Nooo, I just read the omnivore Readme and was so excited, just to read this blog post afterwards realizing that now you buy in some proprietary AI shit with it :(

Edit: it seems like the selfhosting software is still seeing some traffic, but until now I didn’t understand, whether there will be further development or just documentation…

What is keeping you from using karakeep for you “read-it-later” articles, too?

+1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.

Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p

Yes, sorry for missunderstanding !

Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.

That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.

Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a “wrong” password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. “y” and “z” are “swapped”.

Just partly related, and probably no help here - but about the fact, that you can’t type in that password (regardless whether you can remember it or not):

you probably use a bluetooth keyboard on that surface? Before boot is finished, bluetooth connection is not possible, so you need some sort of USB/serial keyboard to even type.

Had this issue when full disk encrypting a surface, because without usb (or the original serial) keyboard your stuck in the luks mount process during boot…

The ansible.builtin.template

Just with the arguments src and dest

I saw that there is a possible argument template_variables which requires a dictionary, but I couldn’t find out, how to use it, or whether to use it at all?
