After having to deal with it, I wrote a small post about static linking of #rust binaries that uses #diesel and #postgresql: www.edu4rdshl.dev/posts/rust-b...

I hope it helps someone :)

I already have on my VPS:

- A Matrix server running - continuwuity.org
- A ZNC bouncer for IRC - wiki.znc.in/ZNC
- A WireGuard VPN running for accessing my things remotely - www.wireguard.com

Any other recommendations?

Living with the peace of mind of being able to roll your system back in time or simply recover a previous version of something you deleted or changed, but that didn't quite work for you, is one of the best things that can exist.

I LOVE #btrfs and #linux!

Solving the remote, unattended access problem on Wayland

Getting remote, unattended access to Wayland sessions can be challenging due to its security model. I found that using a simple WireGuard VPN setup worked perfectly.

Do you still use #Tor (or Tor Browser) - (torproject.org/) in 2025? If so, what do you use it for?

Is there any reason to use a #VPN actually outside of the following?

- Connecting to a protected internal network
- Connect several devices on different locations
- Bypassing geo restrictions

Like, they don't provide any privacy or anything really, and most of them are bullshit

VPNs can be a pain to manage.

From systemd-networkd to NetworkManager

After 7 years, I recently switched from systemd-networkd to NetworkManager for managing my network connections. VPNs were the main reason for the switch.

In the last month, I have made more changes to my daily #linux setup than in the past 15 years.

- Migrated from Docker to rootless Podman
- Migrated my development setup to Dev Containers
- Switched from bash to Fish
- Switched to UKIs + Secure Boot (never used secure boot on Linux)

Let me introduce Fly To #Podman: a script that will help you to migrate from #Docker to #Podman while keeping all your networks (with all its configs), volumes, images, #containers, and metadata. The source code is available at GitHub:

Days ago, I wrote about leaving #matrix because the cost of maintaining a one-user instance was too high. A 125GB database, several GB of RAM used, high CPU usage.

After testing a bit more, I found a nice joy called Conduwuit, here's a post about it:

About to leave Matrix… Oh wait, there’s Conduwuit!

I was about to leave Matrix one week ago because of the high resource and disk space usage of Synapse. But then I found Conduwuit, a lightweight but featureful alternative to Synapse. And now I’m stay...
