I put all non-text files into attachment/ subdirectory in Obsidian Vault. And on Feb 2nd, 2026, all files in all attachment/ directories were mysteriously deleted. And I didn't find out until today.

I only keep backups for 30 days on the cloud, so that copy is already gone. Syncthing automatically deleted them on all my clients, and I didn't have file versioning enabled.

99% of them are photos - that means I do have a copy in Immich (and S3 backup). But trying to find them one by one would be a pain.

Lesson learnt: Enable Syncthing file versioning. Check valuable assets regularly. Keep a cheap, local backup that can be kept for longer.

Now I'm going to find those pictures based on when the note was created and what they say. Fun.

Papra just dropped SSRF protection for webhooks - private/reserved IPs are now blocked by default. Smart security move for a doc organizer. You can still allowlist your local services #selfhosted #homelab

Okay, the phone line portion of the dial-up project works! The phone jacks in my apartment don't seme to be connected together, but I was able to make it work. Since it's only going from the basement to the living room, I used a 50ft phone cord I purchased awhile back and ran it through the conduit I've placed. A test call from the cordless handset rings the test phone I had hooked up downstairs!

Made a video about recent OSS supply chain attacks. Found a security gap in my own setup while making it. Nobody's immune to this stuff.

2026 homelab stack: Jellyfin won media wars, Immich replaces Google Photos, Caddy for HTTPS, Docker Compose/K3S for orchestration. Self-hosting isn't a hobby—it's infrastructure strategy. 🏠🔧

The 2026 Homelab Stack: What Self-Hosters Are Actually Running This Year

Spend five minutes on r/selfhosted or any homelab forum and you'll notice something interesting: the conversations have changed. Two years ago, everyone was asking "what should I run?" Now they're sharing sophisticated stacks that rival small business infrastructure. The self-hosting movement has matured. Here's what people are actually deploying

@d1 @jadehopepunk @coopcloud thanks all for writing back :)

Oh this is interesting @goblin @mox

From a Quick Look around …

Kolicloud is a web-based tool for digital collaboration and combines different tools in a common dashboard.

Has similar community hosting goals to us.

From the KolliCloud repo..

“The KolliCloud is a free service provided by Local-IT e.V. (LIT) in collaboration with the coopcloud-community. It is a collection of software tools specifically designed for small to medium-sized clubs, associations, and NGOs to facilitate digital collaboration.”

There are three options for using the KolliCloud:

Self-hosting
Managed Hosting
Collective Hosting
You can find more information on our website(https://kollicloud.de/hosting/).

This repository mainly contains references to other repositories. This is because the setup of the KolliCloud is based on abra from the coop-Cloud and our own Meta-Configuration tool, alakazam.

https://git.local-it.org/local-it/kollicloud

Looking at Alakazam.. seems to offer that meta config layer that can I was mentioning…

“Alakazam serves as a wrapper for Abra to make it easier to manage configurations across multiple instances. The global configuration for all KolliClouds can be regulated via alakazam, even if this can of course be adjusted in more detail per customer.

An example: Help, i.e. the link to the KolliCloud Wiki, is available in all KolliClouds on the dashboard. This is stored in the alaka defaults. If the link were to change, this would only have to be changed in the one alaka-defaults file and not in every authentic recipe for every KolliCloud.”

And here’s the underlying git repo:

“Alakazam is a meta-configuration app-connector and an abra wrapper, designed as a proof-of-concept to simplify the management of environment configuration files across multiple instances.”

All very interesting!!

I am now being borrowed 2x18TB HDD's so that i can move my 3x12TB mdraid with xfs to #zfs.
When I setup that storage zfs did not have the features, that are important for me.
Being able to expand the vdev was not possible until not so long ago.
I'm excited to finally be able to use the QoL of ZFS everywhere
