Good to know. I’ve actually been using the tools I discuss on the show, as opposed to only naming off whatever is the newest thing without having actually used it. Good to know if that isn’t clear.

Linux Prepper is related to doing everything myself with fully open tooling as much as possible. I’ve never seen another show do the same, so I thought it would be fun to try. Self-hosting everything, and using foss tooling for everything all the time, might not be practical, but it is a fun challenge. That is the intention.

Well, it is a podcast that is self-hosted and also focusing on self-hosting, Linux, DIY, and fully open source tools. My goal is to DIY everything possible using free and open tools. This episode is about going to a recent Linux conference, visiting a makerspace, and discussing distributed file shares of Tahoe-LAFS between a number of self-hosters.

What kind of work do you do? Curious since you don’t write by hand.

Do you scan or photograph such things?

Right on

Because multiple people asked about setting this up, so it is a group effort. Certainly doesn’t have to happen.

Well, I hadn’t hadn’t thought about that. Will definitely think about it.

I was looking at pip/python instructions. https://tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/install-tahoe.html Seems there are docker compose instructions https://tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/running.html#development-with-docker

My understanding is there is no public. Only you have access to your data.

I’m literally learning about it just like yourself.

Tahoe-LAFS is actually much older than Storj https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/OldNews

Please continue submitting questions! I will look into clarifying answers. Do see the documentation. FAQ is probably a good place to start: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/FAQ

Awesome, glad you are enjoying. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, feel free to hit me up; best! https://cloud.disroot.org/apps/forms/s/Lzai4d2A79iNsapnpbGbBGcH

Glad to hear it doesn’t come across as conflicting with something else. 💘

My show is still super news (6 months), so if you know people that would be interested in this kind of thing, please do share. Hope you enjoy,

Yes, I’m running Castopod, which you can find on the fediverse at @linuxprepper@podcast.james.network Basically, I am hosting this myself and people on places like Lemmy, Mastodon can follow episode releases and leave me comments directly from the fediverse. Pretty cool.

What would you use instead? It and podman are nicely interchangeable.

What else did you try and what was lacking?

I find your experiments inspired. Thank you! I’m learning about this myself on an rtx and excited to discuss on my little podcast.james.network one of these days. Been using paperless minus the AI functionality so far. About to start testing different AI services on an arm64 device with 16gb ram that claims some level of AI support; will see how that goes. Let me know if there are any other specific services/models you’d recommend or are curious about.

Which specific models did you try and how would you rank each is usability?
