Only monad I know is xmonad. My favourite x11 window manager.

I remeber using plasma on a weak 2016 160 usd laptop with no issue in 2018, I can only imagine how much better is now

I personally selfhost a navidrome server for my music all flac so my library is about 20+gb rn ( and still continues to grow ). Struggling to find decent subsonic compatible player for linux so will check if deadbeef supports it.

For phone I use symfonium ( not open source neither free but the best for subsonic ).

I’m using the default list alongside Firehol BotScout list and Firehol cybercrime tracker list set to ban.

Also using the Firehol cruzit.com list set to do captcha, just in case it’s not actually a bot.

I’m also using the cs-firewall-bouncer and a custom bouncer that’s shown on crowdsecs tutorials to detect privilege escalation for if anybody actually manages to get inside.

Alongside that I’m using a lot of scenario collection’s for specific software I’m using like nextcloud, grafana, ssh, … which helps a lot with attacks directly done on a service and not just general scraping or both path traversing.

All free and have been using it for a year, only complaint I have is that I had to make a cronjob to restart the crowdsec service every day because it would stop working after a couple days because of the amount of requests it has to process.

And the comminity blocklists are updated when more than a couple ( I think the number is something like 10-50 ) instances of crowdsec block an ip in some fast timeframe.

The ai blocklist just adds IP when even one instance finds an AI trying to scrape right from the useragent.

So even if the community blocklist has fewer ai ip’s, it does eventually include them.

Try crowdsec.

You can set it up with list’s that are updated frequetly and have it look at caddy proxy logs and then it can easilly block ai/bot like traffic.

I have it blocking over 100k ip’s at this moment.

I use nixos on my desktop, the server is a debian one but might be good to install nix on it.

I just have to import only one. Might just use thunderbird for that.

Will test out mailcow and see how it goes.

I use nnn for file management.

It doens’t have a preview pane by default, but I don’t need it most of the time, so I just use the plugin for it when I need it.

Also supports quite a few other kinds of plugins and features like bookmarking.

I think your phone is, doesn’t hapen to me.

It was a systemd issue, after installing network manager, enabling it and disabling systemd-networkd share now mount’s in a matter of second’s.

I don’t like the fact I got to use network manager, but whatever.

According to log’s it’s a systemd-networkd-wait-online.service issue, which shouldn’t be an issue because I’m using ethernet and share get’s automaunt request when I login into my user and load my xorg server.

Yes systemd is waiting until the network is up before trying to mount them, and am using the feature of systemd to not load until I need them to load.

From reading the logs further seems to be an issue with systemd not being able to properly check if network is up because I don’t use network manager, because after systemd-networkd-wait-online.service times out the nfs share get’s mounted right away,

Cause it’s a flash bomb ( no offense )

“everyone”, tell that literally to every isp my country that doesn’t even provide ipv6 support.

It’s 2024 and no isp’s in my country still provide ipv6 from what I have seen.

Sed comes into play there, or :%s in vim, whichever you prefer ;)

I tend to grow my fleet of servers every couple months, and that requires me to once again setup everything from the beginning, settings, sshd, update debian if old version, new user for ssh, docker/podman, …

Quite literally added new vps to my fleet yesterday and spent 4 hourson setting all that up, when it could have been a simple ansible script.

Luckilly no, just self interest.

Fun fact: I actually run nixos on my main pc.
