I just set up Readeck a few weeks ago, and I've been liking it. Very minimalist, utilitarian. One feature I'd like that isn't included is the ability to add specific labels or collections to the sidebar, but that's my only quibble so far.

It has an official browser extension for adding urls to it, but if you can't or don't want to use that, it has a nice api. I use the api to add bookmarks from my phone using a termux-url-opener script, which is as easy as the extension - just hit the "share" button and select termux, and it does the rest.

Navigating around supporting bad actors in the foss community is probably far easier than in the closed, commercial software space, given that all the code, discussion, and money are out in the open.

Also I think the proportion of fascists and bad actors in the foss community is probably lower than elsewhere in the first place, given that the community is based on the free and open sharing of work and knowledge.

First time I've ever seen this, and I love it.

The rclone fuse mount is essentially running in the memory of the container, and doesn't translate back into the filesystem that the host presents from itself into that container.

Since rclone is available in the debian repos, the simplest and easiest option would be to do the rclone mount on the host and then pass that via bind mounting into the Plex container.

If you want to keep the rclone mounting containerized though (or if your Proxmox host is clustered, you want to mount it on the host, and you want the mount to be shared between your nodes), you can use rclone's experimental but built-in nfs server feature: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_nfs/

Make sure your 2 containers can talk to each other over a secure network ("this server does not implement any authentication so any client will be able to access the data"), start the nfs server in the rclone container, and mount it via nfs in the Plex container.

Good luck!

apt-get clean will clear the apt cache and should give you enough temporary storage headroom on /var to do things, but if you're bumping up on this limit often, you'll need to reconfigure your storage.

/var is often where processes dump a lot of data (logs, databases, etc), and subpartitioning of /var sets a cap so that when too much data is dumped there, the application crashes instead of the whole system. /var/log is often recommended to be subpartitioned separately as well, so that logging can still go on if the application data fills up and crashes.

These kinds of overruns can be intentional DOS attacks, also, so the subpartitioning is often a security recommendation. NIST 800-171 requires separate partitions for /var, /var/log, /var/log/audit, and /var/tmp

With the size of modern linux kernels, I think 1GiB for a /boot partition is the absolute minimum I would go for a current full-sized distributuon. You'll run into these out-of-space issues on updates all the time otherwise.

I've used an old, out-of-support phone as a permanently plugged-in homeassistant control panel. Not quite self-hosting as in phone-server, but a fun easy project and a great way to keep an old device in use.

The bang syntax makes duckduckgo easily the best search engine - it's a shortcut to everything, the perfect gateway to the internet.

Can you give us the full output of the following commands?

ip addr

sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6

The ups has data output to my firewall/router via usb, which the baremetal servers all connect to via apcupsd. When the ups loses or regains AC power, it broadcasts a message to all of them and they're each scripted to act accordingly: laptops run on their own batteries, vms migrate over to laptops, non-vital hardware shuts down, etc.

Some laptop battery firmware allows you to force discharge even when connected to AC, and if your laptop can use the tlp recalibrate or tlp discharge commands then yours is supported.

I use this to power my thinkpad servers off of their own batteries during a power outage, to reduce load on my UPS. Great feature.
