And the Luddites were right

Fitting a 100W battery in the 13 inch chassis while keeping everything easily serviceable would be impossible

My plan to handle this is to switch my VMs to NixOS, set up NixOS with impermanence using a btrfs or zfs volume that gets backed up and wiped at every startup with another that holds persistent data that also gets backed up, and just reboot once per day.

I’m currently learning how to do impermanence in all the different ways, so this is a long goal, but Nix config + backups should handle everything.

I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.

For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.

I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.

All that hovers between 140W to 180W

I use porkbun for my domains, cloudflare for dns, ddclient connecting to the cloudflare api for dynamic dns, and traefik as a reverse proxy to send subdomains to their respective service.

The only part I have to pay for is the porkbun domain.

$8 for a year is a good deal, but be ready to switch when that expires.

I currently use nextcloud + todo.txt

I don’t have my todos in my calendar (I think that may be what you’re asking for?), but both are solid systems.

I sync my todo.txt files via nextcloud. I use sleek on my desktop and ntodotxt on my phone.

Also, notifications. I’m a fairly forgetful person, so I set up notifications to let me know if I left windows open or devices on before I go to bed or leave for work.

Like the other commenter said, that is correct. For SSH, I set up a VM as my SSH bastion or jump host. I connect to that, and the SSH from that to any other machine on the network.

you need a reverse proxy.

Thanks.

I searched both Cory Doctorow’s post and the linked 404media article in his post for “air purifier” and found nothing. What author are you referencing?

I use Kagi, stract, and a self-hosted searx-ng instance. Kagi is so well polished that it’s what I use most of the time, but I keep an eye on the other two and continually ask myself if I’m ready to drop Kagi to get away from financially supporting Google and Microsoft.

Alright, you’ve convinced me. They get ONE more day.

FreshRSS is the tool for that

Do you just use podcasts on your phone? If you have an Android phone, AntennaPod, while not self-hosted, works very well and is FOSS. There are other options to “self-host podcasts” to varying degrees:

• PodHoarder: mentioned in another comment, which could be piped into AntennaPod, but I find that a bit redundant for me

• AudioBookshelf: a fantastic self-hosted audiobook server, and an okay podcast server, but is focused around streaming from your server to your listening device, and I prefer to download on wifi to listen later (it was pretty clunky for that workflow).

• GPodderSync: barely supported at this point and missing too many features to be useful in my opinion, but a neat backend for AntennaPod and other players to sync to some degree.

Bonus: the creators of AntennaPod and other FOSS podcasting software are working on a replacement for GPodderSync here: https://github.com/OpenPodcastAPI

EDIT: for RSS in general, I use FreshRSS, which uses the g-reader API to sync across multiple apps. It’s awesome.

I host wikis for local advocacy work. I plan to host other static sites, and I’m building a tool to get better transit schedules in a simple webpage. Hosting Mobilizon is on my list to do as well.

If your budget is as cheap as possible than the only answer is a 12TB HDD in a USB enclosure for your Raspberry Pi.

What is “huge storage”? What is your budget?
