  • One time I ran out of disk space due to it having created since 200gb log files (not sure why that happened) then another time I think I broke something whilst moving from I’ve got to another. I can’t remember what else happened to break my instances but it was always big enough there I couldn’t restore it to working it after hours if work, so if just export the vaults from everyone’s machine, nuke it, start again and try to learn how I broke it so I didn’t do it again.

    I believe I was the problem for most of them except the massive log files one, but still, it was probably my fault as the things usually are. (Guess whose wife has them well trained at accepting the blame 😋)


  • I pay my $10 license and a personal organisation license for bitwarden because I like their platform but after yet another irrecoverable loss of data (partly my fault for not sufficiently backing it up) I’ve moved over to vaultwarden for my family’s password management.

    I don’t think I’ll stop supporting bitwarden even if I’m not using their platform directly though as I do like the service I’ve had from them for something like 4 or 5 years now.






  • I personally use gitea but there is also a community version of gitlab that has way more power than I need.

    Gitea can import a repo from GitHub but I don’t know whether it can also push updates out as one never tried to do that.

    I picked gitea as I didn’t need all of the extra power of gitlab and they were the first two options I found. I don’t deploy it using portainer but all of my stacks are set up as git repos in portainer and using the webhook feature it’ll auto pull and redeploy whenever I push to it







  • Very fair question and I’ll admit that a part of it genuinely is “because I can!” But that’s not all of the reason. I work across several machines and soon due to reasons that at the same time both make sense and are somewhat frustrating some of the machines I use most frequently are about to be locked down and my ability to instal software removed, so that is part of it. Web apps allow me to sidestep this issue. I’m a bit of a forgetful person that has to act when inspiration hits me or I forget to deal with it. Sometimes that’s probably for the best but other times a moment of inspiration has turned into something wonderful (both in the 3D printing scenario and wider life) Most of my homelab setup is web-based already and I have most of my files synchronised around to allow me easy access no matter where I am or what device I’m on, I also work long days away from home now and then and like the idea of having an idea, processing the stl file and then kicking off a print job so it’s complete by the time I get back home. In the end I guess my big motivator here is due to my own personal failings, I’m an impatient and forgetful person that would rather just get stuff done than improve my memory and patience ;)
