It took me all of five minutes to get ntfy.sh (self-hosted) running on one of my cloud VMs and send my first test push to my phone.

Less than an hour later, I've got all my other servers set up to send a simple notification with an authenticated curl POST when they finish booting.

I'm VERY pleased with ntfy.sh so far, and the docs are really impressive and helpful too. My mind is spinning with all the other stuff I'm gonna set up with this!

This project looks like an easy way to send push notifications to your phone from a command line or script. I'm definitely going to be playing with this a bit.

I just came across Immich, which looks to be , friendly photo/video solution.

Does anyone here have experience with it?

A consortium of companies is calling on to reverse its decision to change 's licensing to the less-than-open BSL.

Failing that, they say they'll fork (and maintain) the latest MPL'd version of Terraform as a part of an open-source foundation.

Anyone of you nerds use and/or ?

I spun up a NixOS VM in my lab to play with and I'm heckin' impressed. Taking a declarative approach to configuring the entire system is pretty frickin' slick.

I've got a lot of tinkering (and learning!) to do to make it mine, but I'm super excited about that journey now.

And now has announced that they're creating their own -compatible distribution which will be "available to all without restrictions." They're also investing over $10 million in this project, which will be contributing to an open-source foundation to provide free ongoing access to the source code.

Wait. Is Oracle the *good guy* now? This timeline is crazy.

"Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden."

I just discovered Cloudflare's internet speed test, which provides a lot more information than I've gotten with most other tests. I especially like the packet loss check and variety of latency tests.

Proton just launched a new password manager, and it looks to be pretty feature-rich and quite polished. It's great seeing another password manager option from a trusted organization!

It's not likely to pull me away from Bitwarden (and I did just migrate away from Proton's services two weeks ago), but options are good.

So Red Hat says they're not going to make the source code for publicly available anymore. Should be interesting to see how this plays out...

I've been using ProtonMail for my personal domain since 2016, but this week migrated over to Fastmail.

PM's ability to easily encrypt message contents is what initially drew me to the service, but I quickly realized that was only of marginal utility. Email wasn't designed to be secure, and there are better E2EE ways to pass along sensitive information.

So far, I'm loving FM. It's truly fast, easy to set up, and packed with useful features that I'd been missing.

I thought this article opened with a solid analogy for what's going on with Google Search right - and then goes on to describe the problems with Google's approach.

"Having achieved dominance, the librarian decided that the library itself, rather than the books inside, was the key draw. So he started to write his own, lower-quality books on all the same topics and place them on a giant shelf that sat in front of the regular stacks."

Oof, I'm really sad to see the announcement that is winding down. It's not entirely unexpected, but still disappointing.

I guess I'll give Kagi another try.

In other news, a friend loaned me his "suzyqable" debugging cable so I could disable the firmware write protect on my 2017 Pixelbook.

Now to replace the firmware and install Linux in place of !

(I've largely replaced the Pixelbook with a Framework Chromebook (which is fantastic!) so this will let me continue to get use out of the Pixelbook hardware for those times when I really need a bare-metal Linux environment.)

gang, I need some help.

I've got some RHEL 7/8 systems joined to an AD domain via SSSD. Now I'm tasked with setting it up so that when users log in with their AD creds, they get a homedir mounted from a network share (either a Linux NFS server or a Windows CIFS/NFS one, I don't care) using Kerberos auth.

I'm struggling to find a clean way of making this work without compromising on security. (Sure, I could just automount NFS without auth and have a day, but eww.)

Ideas?
