I think you are pretty rude. OP don’t deserve that.

If you want to coment on the use of AI it’s one thing, if you want to state you don’t like the logo, I can relate and agree.

+1 for european regulations.

Ok, i stand corrected

Check periodically for bulging batteries, you might have to remove the back cover to detect such a condition depending on model.

I used to run a laptop as well but I have had batteries die like that twice, and that’s a fire concern as well specially if you have it stored away in a closed and never physically check it.

Keeping charge at 70% doesn’t help, you need to powercycle the battery regularly to prevent batteries to die on you

I am my only user, so…

Its not that difficult you need a VPS or a public reachable ip at home and docker/podman.

Yes I use docker, I have documented my effort here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy

It was pretty easy and require zero maintenance, just remember to update the containers. Space utiliztion and resources are pretty low, depending on how many communities you subscribe.

Also, I host it at home (with public reachable ip of course)

That’s why I run my own instance, dont like others decide what must be censored for me.

Maybe other devs join and improve the code, or maybe the original del learns and improve, or maybe he was already good bit had zero time and after a while goes back to improve the vibe coded project…

I prefer to judge by the results rather than by the means used.

I like the analogy…

But at the end of the day better to have something that starts shitty but can be improved over time rather than nothing.

If it stays shitty, then it’s just shit and won’t go anywhere.

Well, I have seen so many classic coders write shitty unmaintainable and insecure code that I don’t think that NOT being vibe coded mean anything.

So?

Love this… Will take a spin for my OpenAstra

Yes both element and elementx and actually any matrix client. That’s the beauty of having standards

But its a pain because all clients from matrix. Org will push you to matrix. Org and need manual taps&clicks to select a different server when you sign up the first time. A bit annoying IMHO and maybe even fraudolent.

Forget about synapse and the “official” method. Install Continuwuity a matrix server written in rust, much much more efficient than synapse.

I took some notes while installing it here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit

I didn’t use docker but directly installation is very easy, it’s a single executable.

Going the split DNS way is doable but had other issues (android devices bypassing local DNS for example or DNS over HTTPS issues)

I set up my opnSense to redorect all internal traffic to the external IP on port 443 to my internal server ip.

Works fine, it’s transparent, and doesn’t mess with DNS.

I would suggest to go with home assistant. I have been running it for couple of years now and I am very happy.

I would also suggest to purchase a Home Assistant Green. While not needed, you can self install on a Pi or a standard pc, it’s a small price to support the project and the Green is a nice solid and super stable piece of hardware, I am very happy with it after using first an old laptop, and then a Pi. The green is a clear upgrade from both.
