I'm grateful to the mastodon core team for maintaining mastodon.social but there's an ocean of smaller instances out there. At least one where I have some friends has publicly announced plans to defederate with mastodon.social and I don't want to lose those connections.

I think I'm gonna need to move off of mastodon.social. The big question is self host or another server?

Content warning:mental health

TFW you've gotten one night of sleep in the past week that was longer than five hours, your partner has lifting restrictions and is semi-immobile, and you spend three days worth of spoons over the course of two hours trying unsuccessfully to convince your super taster 6yo with bronchitis to just take the fucking medicine. Oh and your 4yo refuses dinner because it's not spaghetti again.

It's been a day.

I used @tailscale as a VPN with an exit node for the first time yesterday and it worked remarkably well. Still something a little wonky with DNS but that could just be my setup.

My mom is taking care of my kids (6 and 4) today. I just wrote their Screen Time code and SafeVision[1] parent mode password on a sticky note and as I handed it to her I said "keep it secret, keep it safe."

Because, let's be honest, kids are basically Uruk-hai with cuter battle cries.

Just set up @coderhq on my server. Getting some pretty severe nostalgia from my first gig where everyone used one big shared server. Not sure what I'm going to use this for but I think I'll keep it around!

Current tiny #project: attempting to hook up everything in my #homelab with mDNS.

I have two #proxmox nodes set up in a cluster but I'm starting to think it'd be better if they were standalone for this purpose.

Is it weird to want to put a #jellyfin server in the car for long trips? I'm thinking a Dell Wyse 5070 and an external drive. Set up the Wi-Fi as an AP and the kids can just connect their iPads to that internal network.
