What’re you wanting to use it for, what are your main concerns?

I’d recommend searxng, but mostly because I don’t have experience with very many others. I’ve never had any issues with it either.

Check out a public instance if the engines you’re interested in and see which you like more?

Sounds pretty cool, thanks for the details! Any chance of some pictures? My worry would be the same, I don’t know if I trust myself not to flood the house lol

I did think about using a mechanical float like in the back of a toilet, and an overflow drain in case it never stops filling

Snipe it and grocy are the ones I see pretty often. I haven’t tried homebox to compare yet though

Kanboard is pretty great even if it does feel dated. I tried a lot of the newer alternatives and they all had either weird bugs or quirks I didn’t appreciate.

Why mtls support specifically? You could use any web based notes app (with PWA) and have the web server / reverse proxy handle the mtls part.

Eh while it sucks, registrars and web hosts get so many abuse reports that sometimes they just err on the side of caution and don’t investigate as thoroughly as you’d like.

Of course it also depends a lot on various things like what type of complaint, how much money you spend with them, account history, complaint source, etc.

They should be able to tell you what they had a problem with and give you a chance to fix it.

Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what’s the name is it? I’d be interested in details either way

I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(

Uptime Kuma is great for simple up/down and web checks. Librenms is worth looking at too for other metrics.

The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.

rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.

Not sure if that’s a typo or not, but gpt4 is definitely not open source

One problem is the lack of alternative transport options. In most of the US, public transport just isn’t a thing. And things are too far apart for cycling to be efficient for commutes, grocery shopping, etc.

I hope that changes some day though.

If you’re wanting something that keeps historical data, vnstat is another good one for network usage

Nothing wrong with that, Caddy is great!

Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?

Thanks for linking it, that’s a pretty cool idea.

Any idea if there’s a fork of Nomad and Consul?

Any idea how Homebox compares to Grocy? I want to try both, but gave up on trying to use snipe-it a while back because of the effort needed to input everything. Both of these look simpler though

OpenBao is the open source fork of Vault

Do you have any reasons for wanting to switch your server OS, or is it more to learn something new? Either way is fine, but it might change what is more interesting to you.

I used centos forever, but only recently started slowly migrating everything to NixOS. I use NixOS for the OS and a few common things like VPN, monitoring, etc. For all of my actual services, I deploy them using Hashicorp Nomad with docker.

I’m not sure i would recommend defining docker containers using NixOS. It’d be fine for a couple servers, but not great for a cluster where services can move around.

From your list, I’d go with hetzner. Racknerd is another good cheap option.

Also check out lowendtalk or lowendbox. Various providers post deals there petty often and the community is active.
