  • So it sounds to me like you may have to deal with a IPv4 only address behind CGNAT, which makes port forwarding not work anymore. It’s how my connection is set up, but luckily it does fully support IPv6 and that doesn’t require any forwarding so I make do.
    If IPv6 isn’t an option for you or you’d like to access your services from IPv4 only networks, I’d just go with Tailscale myself. I’ve been a happy user for years and it just works so well, should be good in your situation as well.



  • In my very limited experience with my personal instance, I’ve had to give federation time for it to start working as expected. When I started out, sometimes I wouldn’t find posts or my comments wouldn’t show on the instance a post came from and whatnot, don’t notice that anymore. Could easily be something wonky on my end though, I’m not sure.
    One thing that I still find extremely confusing and unintuitive is searching for a not yet federated community doesn’t return any results, but also immediately makes the community visible in the “all” view if it does indeed exist. I was under the impression it’d just show the community link there and then so I assumed it was broken for the longest time, for all I know that’s actually how it’s supposed to go and I still have something broken somewhere lol.











  • Brainstorming a bit, I think wiring up InfluxDB, Grafana plus some convenient way of inputting all those data sources sounds ideal. As a time series database, keeping track of how data evolves over time is InfluxDB’s whole thing, Grafana or similar would be for visualizing said data. I guess the complicated part would be getting your data sources to write to it in a convenient way, not sure if there’s a generic enough project out there already.
    Looking around a bit, not too dissimilar to what this blog post has done.


  • I tried tons of personal knowledge management apps and eventually settled with Logseq. It’s incredible if you’re more of an outliner, the workflow just fits me like a glove. I just dump everything into daily journals and let the connections arise from there as I go.
    My one big complaint is you can’t self host a self contained web version of it (meaning you still have to open a local working folder even if you do host your own, which defeats the purpose imo), which then forces you to either sync between devices manually or use their paid service. Since there are Windows and Android apps I make do with Syncthing, but it’s unnecessarily clunky.
