Absolutely. I was just going by what the OP requested. But you’re right. There are other ways to skin the cat.

I know nothing about running a Lemmy instance, so I thought I’d ask. Does the Lemmy framework allow something like this:

If so, maybe that’d be less annoying to some. The screenshot is from selfh.st.

Awesome. I have bookmarked it in my Projects folder. It does look rather intriguing.

Reasonable.

Ok, so see this AI Disclosure would be helpful in the original post. You’re going to get downvoted either way, but at least it’s upfront. Don’t take it personal, it’s just that there is a faction of very vocal anti-AI users here.

My 2p.

That’s very interesting. Thanks.

Now for the burning question on everyone’s mind…was this vibe coded, or AI assisted in any way? I don’t outright reject AI assisted projects, but of course my concerns are always security. Also, what is the depth of your experience coding?

Thanks

Can you specificy how AI has been used on this project?

I cannot. I’m not the dev.

I think [AI] tags would be good. That way a certain subset of members could just drive-by downvote without getting themselves dirty. [NOT AI] seems redudant since we’ve already defined [AI], but again for quick filtering purposes, I see no harm in both.

That seems reasonable. So, basically what I’m hearing is that AI produces a format or style of writing that some find off putting?

Alright, that makes sense.

Do I understand correctly that with HoneyWire you deploy ‘false assets’? I guess along the lines of a honeypot but the ability to deceive bots and other nefarious actors into thinking there are specific assets that they might want to exploit?

There are a multitude of calendar apps, tho I know of none specifically for birthdays exclusively.

• Nextcloud AIO combined with Nextcloud Android app
• Radicale combined with DAVx⁵ Android app.
• Baikal combined with DAVx⁵ Android app

Those are the ones I know of that have an Android capable app. There may be others. Maybe others here will chime in with some options.

Nice blog. Bookmarked.

I wonder if an authorised remote user (ie an affiliated researcher) can easily instruct ArchiveBox to store a URL and later retrieve it

Once you download the data and persist it on local storage, it’s available to whomever has access to that drive or server.

Also, ideally a random user should be able to retrieve the archived web page or file (eg a PDF, CSV etc).

For rando access, you could put the data on a public ftp server, or even get fancier with html styled pages. If I understand you correctly, you want a random user to be reading your report that has citations, so that when a rando user clicks the citation, they are presented with whatever you downloaded with ArchiveBox. Kind of Wikipedia style. Speaking of which, a wiki framework might be just the ticket you are looking for.

Download the data, integrate it in to a selfhosted wiki, and it would be available to rando users. Of course your wiki server will have to have all the accoutrements of security so you don’t get hacked by a bazillion bots.

We should keep in mind that self hosting means different things to different people.

THIS, is the crux. You said it yourself @curbstickle@anarchist.nexus early on in your intro to being the new sheriff in town: ‘There are so very few of us’ relatively speaking. However, even in our small circle, the word ‘selfhosting’ means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. To some, if you don’t have an enterprise rack at home that dims the lights when you power on, well you’re just vanilla at best. To others, running your stack on a VPS is just as enjoyable and rewarding. To some, a laptop server to run one or two Docker containers fits the bill. Some like AI, some don’t. To say that you have to be ‘this tall’ to ride this ride is just downright silly to me and very counterproductive. All selfhosters do not align by the same star. We are diverse as the day is long, and that’s what is so very enjoyable to me. I love seeing how different people have wrangled technology to tackle a problem and arrive at their own solution.

I truly think we can all coexist without curb stomping someone who ‘ain’t from around here’ or someone who has different ideas and approaches than we might. At least that is my hope.

If it’s possible can i pm you so that we can stay in touch ?

Absolutely bro.

i thought linux was a small community!

No, it’s always been a fairly large community, globally. Maybe relegated to geeks and nerds tho. It’s early iterations didn’t have a ‘Windows like GUI’. It did have interfaces, but not what people using Windows were used to. Then as the versions became more user friendly with a GUI that had icons, and such, it gained an even wider audience. Now, gaming has exploded on Linux making it even more popular. A program called Wine, can run some Windows apps in a Linux environment. If I were to guess, I’d say about 60%+/- of the global servers are Linux/Unix. It’s a very powerful OS, and one that I will probably never use to it’s fullest capabilities. Hopefully, in the future as all us old heads die off, and the younger generations who have adopted Linux as their OS of choice, will influence even more subsequent generations.

No no it’s fine . I still have soo many questions

Like I said my man, I’m willing to answer anything I can. I am not an expert nor a IT guy. There are many more skilled and knowledgable here. I just do a ton of reading, and a lot of trying, until it works correctly, then I write all that down because my brain is shit.

I saw in your dashboard that you have tailscale

I have Tailscale as an overlay VPN on both the pfsense firewall, and the servers themselves as a security measure. I can ‘tunnel in’ via Tailscale if I need to. It’s also useful if pull a boner like I’ve done in the past and locked myself out of my server. DOH! Dumbass. LOL

I would like to get into reading any recommendations ? any genre is fine

Such as technical material, or just casual entertainment reading? If you’re a new kid on the Linux/selfhosting block, I highly recommend Linux Upscale Challenge. TechnoTim has some good stuff to read. There’s also blogs like https://selfh.st/ and https://noted.lol/ tho noted.lol doesn’t seem as active as selfh.st.

Your answers were written in near perfect english… How did you do that !

Well, English is my native tongue, tho I wouldn’t say I speak it perfectly. I do know a few other languages such as Spanish, Patois (which you’d hear throughout the Caribbean), and a couple others just enough to get by. I also use spellcheck prolifically. If anyone ever got access to my browsing history, they’d see a ton of searches to see if I’m actually using a word correctly. I really can’t explain it more specifically than that, other than it’s just the way I converse normally? Thanks for the compliment tho, I guess. LOL

I use ArchiveBox occasionally to archive websites into a browsable, offline copy, regardless of the data disappearing online, and independently of whether or not ArchiveBox is in operation after the archiving finishes, if of course you persist the data locally. I’ve archived several self-hosted sites because they contained data I would like to conserve for personal use at a later date. It does it quite thoroughly, tho obviously large sites would take a little time to ingest. It might be worth spinning up a Docker instance and run it through it’s paces to see if it would fit your criteria.

That certainly would thin the pile and cut down on the manual labor aspect. It uses a hashing method, iirc. Used it to thin out duplicate audio files, being careful not to delete files that might have the same filename but one would be a live rendition, and a studio/album rendition of the same song. Jimi Hendrix, in my experience, is notorious for this. One of the things that I dig about him, is that he never really performed the same song the same way. He sort of just really went with a stream of consciousness and pulled it off quite well.
