👋🏼 Ich bin nicht #neuhier, aber vor gut 1/2 Jahr auf meine #selfhosted #Mastodon-Instanz umgezogen 📦.

Ich bin Florian 👨🏼‍💻, #Informatik|student an der #RWTHAachen 🎓 und #tech-Enthusiast.
Ich hoste vieles im #homelab #selfhosting, programmiere Apps mit #Flutter 📲, aber auch Webseiten 🌐 und andere #Software 💻.

Zudem begeistert mich die #Notfallmedizin #Medizin und ich bin als #Rettungssanitäter im #Rettungsdienst tätig 🩺🚑.
Ich liebe #Wassersport, egal ob #Segeln ⛵, #Tauchen 🤿 oder #Schwimmen 🏊🏼‍♂️.

Continued thread

We first thought about just switching to another provider but then decided to just self host it.

It is running on my #homelab and accessible with a tunnel remotely. I noticed a few small bugs and hence will try to fix them after my exams.

New instance, so time for a re #introduction post!

Hi all, I'm Phillip! 👋 I just moved from infosec.exchange (I still love you Jerry 🫶) I'm a 20-something guy living with my gf somewhere in the U.S. unfortunately.

Professionally, I am a solo #it admin/automation engineer at a smaller company.

Unprofessionally, I am into #discgolf, #music, #reading, #houseplants, #homelab, #gaming, #SmallWeb, and more. Check out my omg.lol page in my bio if you'd like. Feel free to say hi!

And another successful round of home- and colo-lab maintainance:

- Updated Proxmox VE servers to v.8.3.4
- Updated Proxmox backup server to v.3.3.3
- Updated all Debian/GNU Linux servers (including the
burningboard.net Mastodon instance) with the latest patches and rebooted them
- Updated Red Hat Satellite to version 6.16.3 on RHEL9
- Updated all Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora and CentOS-Stream systems with Satellite+Ansible and rebooted them
- Updated my Raspberry PI 4 with Home-Assustant to the latest version 2025.3.1

According to Grafana+Loki dashboards and checkmk, everything is running smoothly and is operational :)

Thanks to the power of automation with Ansible, all of this just took roughly 25 minutes to do.

What to do with dead SSDs?

I run a 3/8" drill through the chips and send to electronics recycling.

Seems my ADATA devices are starting to fail. Can't comment on whether this is due to total age, hours in flight, commonality, or quality. At least 75% of my SSDs are ADATA.

I realized that I was spending 50¢ every month for 7 Route53 hosted zones at AWS, when I really don't need to do that for some of them. I'm using name.com as my registrar, and they'll do basic #DNS service for free as a part of that.

I didn't want to spend an hour clicking and copy/pasting DNS records, so like any good geek I spent about 6 hours writing a script to do it for me. 😃

It's a bit of a specialized need. If you're not hosted in #Route53 and not looking to go to name.com, this is not useful to you at all, except as a curiosity of how badly I write python.

But if (a) you're cheap like me, and (b) you've made the same choices as me, this script will save you some time.
