Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I just got cactus comments working on my writefreely blog. Cactus comments needs matrix, so I got matrix with element set up. It was an incredibly frustrating journey of learning, but it turns out the final bit wasn't too complicated. I'm running on TruNas, which I hear you shouldn't do, but it's too late haha.

I also got the whatsapp bridge set up, but it doesn't look like matrix supports disappearing messages, so I left some rooms it created b/c one of the larger groups easily took up a gig of storage before disappearing messages was turned on.

Anyway, writefreely has federated cactus comments that you can currently only sign in with a matrix account lol. I can try and change that later. I host the photos with picsur.

I think that I need to collect my notes and memories and put it into a blog post, but I don't really want to turn my blog (if I even keep up with it) into a blog about how to self host a blog.

In hindsight, I don't think the comments were worth it, but whatever.
