| 2/9/25 | Byebye Raspberry Pi | (00:00) Welcome and Feedback (00:24) Re-evaluating Self-Hosting (01:30) Gifting Linux Devices (03:14) Setting Up for Success (05:01) Managing Remote Devices (10:29) Remote Access with WireGuard. Securely accessing local resources remotely. (13:01) Introducing Jellyfin (14:15) Managing Disk Space df -h to confirm disk usage docker system prune -a to remove older images, stopped, hanging. Recovered 50gb. (16:00) The Raspberry Pi Evolution Does the Pi family make sense in 2025? If you already own one, use that. If you don’t, the draw to modern thin clients and PC’s is more desirable in cost & size vs performance. (19:39) NextcloudPi project. Years of testing across various devices. Adopting containers in order to spin up simultaneous production and test instances of the same software. Less interest in specific devices and more interest in running whatever service I need on arm64 or x86 architecture. I’m behind the times in terms of modern automations when testing, but this is how I’ve learned. (21:01) Testing and Flexibility At what point does the Pi simply become another server? I feel we’ve already reached this point with the Pi 5. (24:50) Repurposing Old Hardware Having older iterations of hardware is great. Pi 2 has full sized USB and basic ethernet, so is fine assuming it is still supported by a project. Personally self-hosting on Pi devices to help me with audio editing since my laptop is not powerful enough on it’s own. (26:30) What modern laptop would you recommend I purchase? Haven’t purchased a high end model in over 10 years, so ready to upgrade. Would like to edit video and run LLM. (30:12) Seeking Audience Input on devices they use. (31:00) What devices are you hosting on? If you use a Pi 5, why? Do you regret it vs an alternative? Does a Pi 5 with NVME disk make more sense than an x86 computer? (32:00) Audience question on wanting to know more about the host. Masonry, theatre gigs, open source volunteer with hackerspaces, piracy in academia, all about the Host (44:00) Apprentice to the Wild book by Kurt Hoelting (45:30) btm terminal application recommendation.

| 1/12/25 | Where to Begin | Timestamps (00:24) Happy 2025! (00:34) Hungry Bogart interview on Linux Prepper origins and background on Medium. (01:00) Episode Overview (01:45) Audience Feedback What is Matrix and why do we have a Matrix chat. Join it here. (02:50) Discussion forum now live for the podcast and eventually Living Cartoon Company, my theatrical work. (03:20) SeaGL Gnu/Linux Conference from October Found through Steadfast Self-hosting. Book also on Github (08:00) There is more to this podcast than just technology in terms of computers. Also relates to making musical instruments, electronics, recipes, DIY, hardware (09:15) My audience expectations is you want to learn more. You are someone happy to learn more. You will be inspired to take initiative. Basic web searches like “Linux Password Manager” to learn. Markdown is how this is written for you. Bullet Journaling Password Managers Where to Begin (12:00) Everyone starts hosted. No shame in it. But, when to try selfhosting on your device? Encounter a limitation like sharing multi-terabytes of data, when my hosted storage is smaller. Get a “homelab” with any old machine. Give yourself a reason to learn. (15:00) Basic services you can experiment with to begin your own homelab of internal devices Avahi, mDNS for treating your device as hostname.local for printing, Samba and more with zero configuration. Edit avahi-daemon.conf with whatever stand-in hostname you want DNS Server, popularly done with Adblockers like Pi-hole and Adguard Home, plus Unbound with a blocklist. Sync multiple failovers of these using Orbital Sync for Pi-hole or adguardhome-sync My personal preference is Adguard Home alongside Unbound and Adguardhome-sync. DHCP Server (requires router access) to use something like the above services to set static routes and DHCP reservations for your devices in a saner manner. I personally enjoying setting all of my device IP assignments based on MAC addresses. Expanding beyond DNS and DHCP (19:00) Buy a domain yourself using a service like Porkbun.com or, try an open source, dynamic dns provider like duckdns.org (19:30) Reverse Proxy to access your services with valid https, either publicly and/or locally only. No more http warnings in the browser. <- nothing makes friends and family less interested in our service. No more remembering IP addresses or port numbers. Classier than simply using avahi as hostname.local:$port avahi still serves as a nice fallback Local only https is totally doable thanks to DNS challenges. Your application doesn’t have to be public. There are tons of reverse proxies to choose from! I don’t want to recommend one over another. Which do you prefer? All of these services are ones your friends and family will use, whether they know it or not. (22:05) What services do you actually host for your friends and family? Let me know! podcast@james.network State of the Podcast (22:30) Paypal donations accepted (23:00) Podcasting 2.0 support enabled (24:00) Now using studio monitors for reference in better recording and mixing the show.
