How does Gentoo work for you? Is it true, that an update takes like a week, because you have to compile everything from scratch?

You need a white cursor with a light gray border 😬 besides of that: very creative!


I like Arch. It’s a rolling release distro with a nice community. However there is no installer. You have to install it by hand. That’s why many people who never touched Arch themselves keep telling it’s “too hard to install”. Actually the process is well documented. You’ll need like an hour for it, but in return you get a system, that’s slim and perfectly tailored to your needs.

However, if you just want to do casual things like browsing the web, debian is absolutely fine. But be aware, that the packages are antique. Also I never survived a dist-upgrade once in my live. There was always broken configs afterwards.


Thanks for implementing it that fast! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to test it.
I found the new section in the readme. So I followed it. I created an admin account (which confused me a bit - my user already had admin permissions. So why is it necessary to create another admin user?). Then I wanted to logout and login with the admin again. But I wasn’t able to figure out how to log out. So I just deleted the cookies and local storage.
After that I was greeted by the login page. So I logged in as admin, entered the User Management - and found an interface to manage users. Ok, sounds logic to find a user management tool in the “user management” menu entry. But the readme said, that there should be oidc settings. Maybe they got lost in a merge conflict or something like that. I was testing on rc12.
Anyways I would prefer an env variable to configure oidc. I like to separate the technical configuration (like credentials, etc) from the user space configuration.
This comment may sound super negative, but I’m actually very grateful you addressed this feature. Thanks!


Awesome! Thanks


Thanks for sharing! I’m so annoyed of Yazio, that I was close to start developing a simple calories tracker myself. Glad I can just use this instead.
You asked for feature ideas in a comment. How about OIDC support? My wife is good at forgetting (to add) her passwords (to a password manager). So instead of resetting password xyz each week, i installed pocketid and integrated it to every app I host, that supports OIDC.


Surprise! A Debian based distro uses antique packages! Who would have seen that coming? 🙀 /s

Well, at least the last digit fits. Better now than in 10 Years 😉
Arch, btw


@Lemmchen@feddit.org I just wanted to add a new service as I saw this page. May be helpful for you too: https://pocket-id.org/docs/client-examples


Jellyfin is actually the only self hosted service I don’t use LDAP or OIDC on purpose. Jellyfin is used only by me, my wife and sometimes a guest. So I just created the accounts by hand. I did so, because I want empty passwords there, so we can easily login. On the android tv app the login screen behaves like the Netflix profile selection screen, if the passwords are empty.


That may be a problem, because Pocket ID works with Passkeys only. But you can also configure Emails, so your users can get one time login links.
Regarding Jellyfin: You can login on your phone using oidc. On the TV you can use Quick Connect then


I like Pocket ID. It’s also very simple to set up and just works™


At the moment I just stick with firefox, as long as I can disable all the ai and telemetry bs. However in a few years Ladybird could be an alternative. They’re developing a whole new browser including the engine from scratch. Looks promising to me.


Tbh I don’t have that many fancy stuff on my dashboards. Most things are fancy automations 😜 But I have an old Tablet in the kitchen with these things on it:
Not OPs fault you’ve picked the wrong os ¯\(ツ)/¯


My Ubiquity Dream Machine has Wireguard integrated. So it’s literally just a few clicks to spin up a server. I use it in combination with a port forward on my FritzBox and a dyn ip using https://dynv6.com/ and a domain i had laying around anyways.
Regarding Wireguard: Wireguards (imho) best feature is split tunneling. You can decide which ips or subnets to route through the tunnel. See AllowedIPs.
As a default it says something like
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Which means “just route everything through me”.
However you could allow your subnets only. Like this I use my private and my business vpn at the same time.
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24,10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/24,10.0.3.0/24
You mentioned, that you have not a lot experience with networking, so your subnet may look like that. Just check your local ip and replace the last digit with 0/24
AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24
Sounds like a good solution for me. I think most users dislike completely vibe coded apps, not ai supported apps. So maybe we should be more specific here.
For example: [Vibe-Coded]
This would also support new users finding the right tag.
