zephyros··on Managing Linux Servers with Cockpit
It does exists, though you can only manage services from the user that you login with afaik.
zephyros··on Zotero for Android available for beta tests
For the attachments like pdf you can use webdav, but for the metadata you have to use their service [1]. They have the code repos online so it's open source, but no self-hosting instructions [2]. They claimed it to be due to technical difficulties [3], though imo they have no incentives to provide this given that they host a paid service themselves.

zephyros··on Make systemd better for Podman with Quadlet
I'm using the podman ansible module[1] to manage the podman container atm, it's ... Okish. I wrote a spaghetti mess with ansible conditionals and loops to manage multitude of systemd files made from podman-generate-systemd. If I had some time maybe I'll try this out, a more declarative approach would certainly be nicer.

zephyros··on Self hosting in 2023
This is new to me. I was going to run a separate DDNS for my homeserver, but given that the domain is only used in Caddy anyway, this reduce 1 place to configure stuff. Thanks
zephyros··on Amazon is offering users $2 a month for letting it track phone data
> And, depending on your economic beliefs, one could make the case it weaponizes the threat of poverty to drive that normalization.

As another commenter point out, this eerily reminds me of human organs trafficking. "People own their body, so shouldn't they be allowed to sell their organ?". We don't allow such things because this directly impacts people with low-income. Now admittedly one's organ is not comparable to one's information, but my stance on this is that privacy should be human rights, non negotiable.

zephyros··on Act: Run your GitHub Actions locally
I found Dagger[1] and Earthly[2] which supposedly would solve the issue of debugging the CI locally. I haven't got time to try them out yet though.

zephyros··on Fedora Linux 37
Not a typical use-case, but I used Fedora Server for my personal media server (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Syncthing just to name a few) and it's been great (Though I do have to fix things occasionally since I live on the edge and auto-update every night). Since most of my service runs in Podman container, I'm contemplating switching to rpm-ostree based one like Fedora IOT, but haven't got the time to get around it yet. Used to use Silverblue for my personal laptop, but I switched to Mac M1 that I got from my job. I miss how simple and configurable Linux is compared to Mac, and if my next gig won't require a Mac I'll probably go back to Silverblue.
