I actually had lots of fun writing a clojure compiler in rust that would target wasm. This allows to write it all in rust and then get it to self-host bit by bit.

Or you could, idk, have some metrics. That's a wild idea, of course. Who uses monitoring when you can just ask an LLM?

A second offsite NAS with your friend? That's what I did when I grew out of my old synology. My new NAS capacity is noticeably impacted by things like frequent local snapshots but I don’t need to back those up remotely and it saves space.

While matter technically requires IPv6 there are non-confirming devices (glares at Hue) that will only do IPv4. It will work with most of the matter controller networks, because in the end it's a conscious decision to disable IPv4 there.

You really want the ECC ram and the motherboard/cpu combo that supports it.

If your note's type is JSON (or TW's native dictionary), you can query it as such in filters.

My search problem is that I rely on metadata a lot. It's natural for me to want a UI that renders machine readable metadata in a way that my brain can process and that requires rich querying capabilities.

I tried them all and, so far, TW wins for me, with orgmode being second close (I like orgmode in vim, but it had some fatal rendering flaws and I don’t feel like using emacs just for notes).

tiddlywiki has one of the most insane search engines from this list. They have a whole filters syntax that can express pretty much anything imaginable, no? I went back to TW from Obsidian because I was tired from Obsidian's trivial search functionality.

Slothmud (https://slothmud.org/) is still fun and has that very classic MUD vibe.

Let's untangle those problems. I have a similar setup so I just want to share some ideas to show that you don’t need to copy keys.

If I'm traveling or I wipe my device or get a new one, I would have to add the new key to many servers as authorized keys

If you oftentimes access ssh from untrusted systems you’re kind of in a bad spot to begin with. The best thing you can have is a yubikey on a keychain. Everything else means you leak secret material (a password or a key) to a machine you don’t inherently trust.

Also, I want a key backed up in case of disaster since all of my devices are in my home most of the time

Again, something that you can easily solve with a hardware key [in a safe]. But realistically, in case of a disaster a local shell password login should be good enough?

I'd recommend you to think about what attacks are you trying to prevent by using a shared private key. I’m not saying it's a bad concept, inherently having it in your password manager (like 1Password that even has ssh-agent support) is pretty common. The problem with just the keys is that it's non-trivial to expire them if needed. You might be indeed better off with some web based authentication that you can access from any place which would ask you secret questions/send you a text message or do whatever 2FA you deem sufficient and mint you a short-lived certificate for ssh.

Not an answer, but I’m curious: what's wrong with just having several ssh keys, one per device?

Next step is discovering atuin! https://atuin.sh/

You can absolutely run your own CA and even get your friends to trust it.

 

Federation is eventually consistent, but when we're talking practical terms, how long is too long for a node to be offline?

I suffered a bit of a data loss and while I was able to recover my mastodon instance within 2 days, lemmy took me a week and I don't see anyone spamming the inboxes again.

Should I expect that other servers effectively defederated me and should I resubscribe to my communities or I should give it a few days?
