You can use their public server if you want, otherwise you can spin up your own on a cheap/free VPS.

You install the ntfy app on your phone and subscribe to channels which then can/will alert.

It works, but isn’t nearly as user friendly.

Headscale running as it’s own user with tailscale ACLs. Tailscale calls home to headscale via HTTPS and gets the info. Assuming the person doesn’t get root access it’s should be fairly safe. With tailscale ACLs you set up whicu systems can reach where. Also don’t forgot you can use UFW/iptables in each client that way it’s still locked down.

I was happy with Cloudfanatic.

For servers autorestic just worked. It’s a wrapper for restic. I sent data to backlaze B2 and StorJ. Now that I have a couple proxmox hosts in a colo, I have an off-site PBS running in ZFS.rent.

First VMs back up to local PBS , then nightly that’s synced to ZFS.rent. I have PVE set to do encrypted backups to PBS so it’s all encrypted.

All of my servers for my LLC and at home are Debian. At my day job we use RHEL. I get to upgrade ~400 servers to RHEL8/9.

Debian is great. I use it and love it every day.

Agreed. I’m very happy. And the cool domain name is funny.

I second this :-)

Go make an account on sh.itjust.works. It’s been pretty reliable with no issues for me.

Yeah unfortunately iOS is very stingy with battery. Thankfully there’s a few apps that use apples push and ejabberd supports it. I haven’t tested them in a while tho since I’m on android.

Mattermost is great and I’m pretty sure they have an iOS app. I don’t believe the messages are encrypted on MM, but if you’re running the infra it’s not too big of a deal IMHO.

I run ejabberd for myself and my family/friend and use conversations on android. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.

Ok. Thank you. After further reading I see it was a lbry platform.

I just checked out Odysee and it’s pretty awesome. What’s their story? Is it like a mirror of YouTube or a new video platform?

Nothing makes me more upset then requiring an application.

I second journalctl -f -u SERVICE_NAME.service it’s great and just works well. The .service isn’t required, but it’s a good habit to get into since systemd also has mounts and timers.

Hahaha. I swear.

It’s crazy hearing how nonresponsive the reddit team has been to 3rd party devs.
