Make it maintainable.

Documentation. Or implicit documentation with ansible or the like (opentofu).

Separate things with LXCs or VMs or OSI containers. Maybe firewalls (ufw) and VLANs to separate them. Incus is nice. As someone already said: Leave the host system mostly vanilla. Services go in the virtual boxes and containers.

Btw: Nix looks promising, too. But I have not opened that can of worms, yet.

Backups…

Automation. unattended-upgrades, watchtower(unmaintained) or the like. So you don’t have to do it yourself and then forget about it. Claude is looming on the horizon. It will bring many bugs to light and code the exploit for it in no time if someone asks for it nicely.

Ist ne Idee. Nicht überkomplizieren. Nummerieren. Scannen. Wichtiges abheften. Anderes chronologisch in eine Kiste.

You are right. Backup and storage of scans should be not a big deal.

But the paper documents:

Some things like birth and education certificates need to be kept indefinitely. Some documents like receipts need to be kept for a while. Some documents can be discarded after scan and some are PDFs entirely.

I. E. How can I tell from the scan if there is a paper document and where is it stored?

Or How do I age out paper which is not needed any more?

The decision is yours to make. You didn’t say if power consumption is important - if you keep the server on 24/7 it could be relevant. It’s hard to say if you can modify the server, to make it quieter. Or if you can salvage parts. Or if you need all the CPU performance of a server CPU.

If you want to keep it or salvage parts: In my experience the fans are the noisy part of a server. I don’t know the form factor of the main board or the case. I really can’t say which parts you can keep and which need replacing.

120mm fans with pwm are better than 40mm fans at full speed. Bigger heat sinks, too.

If not: You can always try to sell the server and get a low power single board computer with enough (32GB+) RAM instead (hardkernel h4 or a cheap chinese alternative). IMO a celeron N is fast enough to run multiple VMs (or better: containers). The limiting parts are RAM and storage. Things like transcoding videos will take more time than on a server CPU… But immich and an *arr stack will work flawlessly for a one or two user instance.

Asked myself which documents I have to keep for how long. I found this German Verbraucherzentrale article (Google translated) about document retention times.

But that information doesn’t give me a workflow. What are your workflows for new documents to scan(tags, correspondent, unique number). How do you keep track of out-aged paper which can be disposed? What’s your pdf backup strategy?

Technitium DNS Server v15.1.0 has been released… with support for OIDC! Now you can use your preferred identity provider to log in to Technitium accounts, and manage your DHCP/DNS deployments with approriately granular permissions controls.

I didn’t understand the relationship between DHCP/DNS server and login with an IDP. Had to look it up: That server has a web UI and you can use an identity provider to authenticate users, instead of local user management I guess.

Technitium DNS is advertised as a Pihole alternative.

Technitium? Indian company. One guy? Has a blog with some interesting entries. Products: a p2p messenger and a DNS resolver.

I like the app. Thanks for sharing.

trying to reduce the explicit drinking water target based on what you ate

I think this is/ was my plan, yes.

This is not a feature request. I was just wondering where the water intake is tracked. As part of a recipe or food would’ve felt natural to me. Hence the question. I missed the water sub tab in the diary tab’s top right corner.

My feedback:
Cooked noodles, soft drinks, a cup of coffee with sugar, a glass of water with lemon juice, protein shakes would be examples for “watery” food.

Right now one can keep track of the nutrients + fibre + x in food in one calculation. And then there is a second tracking just for water.

Two lists feel more complicated than one list. To add a cup of coffee I need to add the nutrients part (sugar, coffein, fat) as a food entry in the diary tab + a cup of water in the water sub tab.

Currently no, there’s no per-food water field in NutriTrace, and food water doesn’t count toward your daily water goal.

Thanks. Fine by me. :)
I could add a custom nutrient “water” to my foods and recipes to achieve what I planned. Or I just ignore water intake tracking.

Food often contains water. Can I configure how much water a food has per 100g or 100ml? I didn’t find it in the nutrition list.

Would this amount of water be included into the daily water budget?

“So called” is a so called empty phrase.

I disagree with Merz. It’s not Iran that humiliates US. It’s their own president who started a war without a good plan. Or, more generally speaking, who started a war.

people assumed the US military still had some might.

It has. But they’re fighting an uphill battle.

Problem is the military is only as good as it’s leaders

It should not have been put in this situation.

What do you mean? Torero feels pain and fear, which helps him to see the bull’s perspective. Wrong?

“It was the most painful goring I have ever suffered in my career,” he told El Mundo newspaper from his hospital bed. “I felt enormous pain and I was very scared because I could tell that the bull had gored me and I thought I was bleeding a lot.”

Perspective switch

And afterwards. And During.

Wiki 1.111b class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xyz

E: sorry no experience with it. Fqdn are just labels, so in theory it doesn’t matter.

If the feature set is limited (I.e. mx records or aliases) it could be a problem.

Wiki states, that blacklisting is an issue (could be relevant for Mail servers), not sure if this affects self-hosted web pages (browser asks clearing instance about known bad websites).

It’s OK, as long as he doesn’t insult Yoda.

Ah. I thought there is an option in docker compose I could use.

And a docker image prune - a while the containers are running? :)

I don’t understand. docker compose up starts the container. When does the docker compose pull happen? Or is there an update directive in the compose file?

Thanks to all replyers. My brain came up with dots per inch, which didn’t make no sense at all.

DPI?

Netplan config? Sure:

network:
  ethernets:
    enp35s0:
      dhcp4: false
    enp36s0:
      dhcp4: false
  vlans:
    enp35s0.100:
      id: 100
      link: enp35s0
      dhcp4: false
    enp35s0.101:
      id: 101
      link: enp35s0
      dhcp4: false
  bridges:
     br0:
	   # untagged
       interfaces: [enp35s0]
       dhcp4: false
     br0.100:
	   # vlan 100
       interfaces: [enp35s0.100]
       dhcp4: false
     br0.101:
	   #vlan 101
       interfaces: [enp35s0.101]
       dhcp4: true
  version: 2

I’m not sure if the version-property is still required. The only interface with an IP is br0.101. Opnsense provides DHCP (v4).

You can attach multiple ethernet-devices to a bridge (which I did not):

      br0.100:
        interfaces:
          - enp35s0.100
          - two
	        - three

I’m not sure if you can attach the docker bridge via netplan - it has to exist at boot time, I think. My docker containers run inside a VM (kvm) with one interface, which sits in one of the VLANs. The VM’s interface is a bridge device (br0.100). The VM ethernet device is attached to the bridge, it receives its IP from the router and behaves like a real server.
