Nextcloud and Ionos justify the decision for the Only-Office fork with its more modern architecture and code base compared to LibreOffice and its browser variant Collabora. „Libre Office is 35 years old and no longer the most innovative and fluid,“ said Nextcloud CEO Frank Karlitschek. „You can also notice that in the browser.“

Am I the only one reading that as "we can't add AI to LibreOffice, so out it is"?

During his formal studies at a community college, Grendel developed a regular expression that parses xml.

We are not worthy of him 🙇

That cabinet looks super neat, well done! 👍

Why don't you dedicate 1 Thinkcentre to your k8s experiment and run several small VM on it?

I understand your position better, indeed. Thanks for taking the time to explain! You'll be happy to learn that what you describe, EUI-64, is not the only way to generate an IPv6 address. The router will give you the prefix in any case, but there is the Stable Privacy Addresses scheme if you want the link-local part generated automatically, and you can set up a static IPv6 address (or several) on your machine, and the router will just have to shut up and deal it to you (for the local part, the prefix is still coming from the ISP)

Secrets go in Keepass.

For server configs, a LibreOffice Writer file per machine (except for RPs, I only have one for those), written as a didactic manual explaining how to install and configure everything (I work on bare metal still). I started that way since diving into self-hosting was also a way to learn Linux, Sys-Admin and web-hosting. I don't do anything without updating the relevant chapters, or creating new ones. Not gonna lie: it's tedious. But also a life-saver, and the rationals for my choices remain available years later, which is priceless in many ways.

Once upon a time I had neat network gear running, and I mostly YOLO-ed the doc for those, relying instead on the firmware/config backups. I had to put those devices away, but when I finally get to play with them again, I'm going to suffer re-learning and re-discovering everything.

Recently, I got to hack and old console, and just did a chronological log-file with actions taken and URLs to guides, instead of writing down everything myself. It got me thinking I might add a simple log-file to track my actions, on top of my usual guides.

Or not. Having a life is nice too 😅

Keepass (Windows) + Keepass2Android + Nextcloud has ben my winning combo for years. Recently switched to a Linux desktop and went with KeepassXC: still happy, except for Wayland not letting you AutoType (should be solvable though, but I lost interest at "reinstall X.org"...)
