It's the S1 finale for #selfhostember! It's a good time to bookmark the link to our blog - oh you'll need a bookmark manager first. Coincidentally we just have the thing for you: a post trying out #Linkding - a minimalist bookmarks manager - including an eulogy for a paid bookmarking service we all knew and loved.

In S01E14, you learn that you've been tricked into becoming a system administrator and now you need to care about things like backups and (more importantly) restores:

In this spooky 13th edition of #selfhostember, we take a look at #Netbird - an overlay VPN , and #tailscale competitor - to access our services from anywhere without exposing them to the public internet.

Man, published a blog post and we almost forgot to self-promote.

Do you suddenly have a need for a new eBook manager because the one you've got has AI in it? We look at #booklore for today's #selfhostember post.

We are back to trying things out using Docker in today's look at Actual Budget (which does actually budget, in a rare case of literal correctness).

A longer #selfhostember post today -- why self hosting email is important, why it's (probably) not as bad as you think and how DKIM/SPF and DMARC are things you can mostly not think about by deploying Stalwart on your server.

We took a break! (You deserve one too.)

But we are back. This time, on Day 9, with zero pictures but SIX recommendations to secure your servers!

DAY. EIGHT. Despair is setting in. I am dreaming of Docker Compose files. Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel must contain them all.

Anyway! I'm sure that what Owlbear Rodeo does is self-evident but just in case: it's a virtual table-top for a group to play #dungeonsanddragons or other TTRPGs together without being in the same corporeal location.

We promised to reap later and today we do! On day 7 of #selfhostember, we install Dawarich, an open-source alternative to Google Timeline (i.e. location tracking) and setup auth to it using Pocket ID. The installation is fairly straightforward if a bit long (no candles were held to Discourse, however).
