Fediverse

To celebrate #SysAdminDay, I updated and rebooted my 9 servers, as I do every Friday :) (These are my private machines, so if something goes wrong, I have the weekend to fix stuff). The twist today: this was done while I am on vacation at my parents, so all remote, including powering my homelab machines on and off :)

#SysAdminLife @homelab

Your phone breaks. Your washing machine gives up. Somehow, buying new seems cheaper than repairing.

The EU is making the Right to Repair the new standard in Europe.

✅Repairs must be offered even after your warranty ends
🔧Parts must be available after the model is no longer sold
📅Choose repair under warranty and get an extra year of legal coverage
📍An EU platform will help you find local repair shops and fair prices

Less waste, more repairs. Good for your wallet, even better for the planet.

hehe, I found this "one weird trick" that doubled internal github.com traffic to the #SparkleShare repo.

🥁 :

add a social media banner in Settings.

you'll stand out on the #GitHub Topics pages where hardly anyone does this.

(does require you have a bunch of initial stars)

Warum dann die "Umfrage"?

@tootbrute I have a mix of nix modules and docker containers.

@tootbrute YEah, it's on my codeberg: https://codeberg.org/thelinuxcast/NixOS/src/branch/main/hermes

@doejohn Yeah, but i just secure it like a server.

@alex_w
Jede/r, die/der hier abstimmt, setzt sich dem Verdacht aus ihr/ihm seien die anderen Label weniger wichtig.
Es muss aber gar keine Priorisierung geben.🤷‍♂️

@nnethercote thank you

@idlehirn Danke, dir ebenso!

@simondueckert swap, steht da doch?

With cheap server upgrades on Hetzner being unavailable, I'm going back to the roots, babyyyy

(all my servers have grown swapfiles over the last month. swapon like it's 2008)
