Ente is a platform to host photos that uses end-to-end encryption to store its data. I have more than a decade of photos saved with Google Photos, but I wanted to keep them in a place that is designed to be private. The problem, however, was that the collection grew to a few terabytes over the years, and putting them on a privacy-respecting image platform was either very expensive or outright impossible. To work around the problem, I decided to self-host Ente. Table of contents The plan ...

I use Arch btw Not any more. During my last post about deploying PeerTube, I considered using NixOS for the server. I eventually decided against it due to a steep learning curve, but Nix's goal of declarative environment made me eager to try it out one day. Arch Linux has been the daily driver on my laptop for well over two years. I had no complaints with it, receiving timely updates while still being a generally stable system. However, even though reproducibility is not exactly what I need...

Custom domains are available for Standard Notes members with an active Productivity or Professional plan. Domains include an HTTPS certificate, and require only a simple DNS record on your end. Before submitting this form, please create an "A" record with your DNS provider with value 18.205.249.107. Using a custom domain for my Listed blog is supposedly very easy. As I was instructed, I went to my DNS provider to add an A record. I then went to my blog's settings page and filled up the fo...

I used Windows for a few hours on my laptop, which dual boots Arch Linux and Windows 11, and rebooted into Linux. However, after a while of unusual waiting, it failed to do so. It would have been nice to read the error first, but having previously experienced a similar problem, which once occurred when I first installed Windows 11 on top of the existing Linux installation thanks to anti-cheat software, I felt it has something to do with a damaged partition table. Preparing Fedora On Windows, I...

I have always wanted a dedicated space for my videos that are not necessarily meant to be shared. Even though I have stored them locally, I also wanted the convenience of accessing it from anywhere. That led me to self-hosting, with PeerTube chosen as a platform to host my videos. I also thought it could be a chance to learn new things. Preparing the hardware I brought a gifted Raspberry Pi 4 and paired it with a five-terabyte external hard drive. A USB hub with an external power supply for ...

With a suggestion that I should work on a project to improve my skill set, I decided to join my partner in creating one together. I have recently decided to dive into the world of cloud computing, but I lacked knowledge in just about everything. I was still eager to present myself with challenges, however, so I jumped right in. What should the project do? After hours of discussion, my partner and I came up with a tentative scope of the new project: Automatic deployment, management, and delet...

Hello to whoever is reading the first post of this blog! Neither writing nor showing my work to public is within my comfort zone, but it is what I aim to overcome, starting with this post. My introduction to Standard Notes and Listed I have been an everyday user of Proton's products, and I was introduced to Standard Notes when they announced that they are "joining forces". My needs for personal note-taking were already satisfied with basic products like Google Keep, but having used Notion for ...
