My son is trans which makes me transparent
What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
I have 2 home servers - an Intel NUC running Ubuntu and a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS. The NUC is my main server and the rpi is a dedicated wireguard/pivpn.
Do you use containers or plain packages?
On the main server I use docker containers almost exclusively. I find them easier to stand up and tear down, particularly using scripts, without worrying about the broader OS.
I have the following services on the NUC -
I did play around with my own Lemmy instance but that was not successful and I found beehaw :-)
Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
No
How do you handle logs?
Badly. I lost a server due to root filling up a couple years back. Now I monitor disk space (see below) and prune logs as required.
How about updates?
OS updates I push daily. I don't regularly update my docker containers. I did use Watchtower for a while but found it broke stuff a little too often.
Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
Just some custom batch scripts (disk space, backups etc) which send me regular emails. I also have conky running on a small screen 24x7
I use a custom script to open all post and external links on the front page in a new tab. Based on a script I found online but customised to beehaw specifically.
// ==UserScript==

var suppressing, clickedElement;
window.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
clickedElement = e.target;
}, true);
window.addEventListener('mouseup', function (e) {
if (e.button > 1 || e.altKey || e.target != clickedElement) {
return;
}
var link = e.target.closest('a');
if (!link || !link.href) {
return;
}
if (link.getAttributeNode('aria-label') && link.getAttributeNode('aria-label').value == 'Expand here') {
return;
}
if (link.href.startsWith('https://beehaw.org') && !link.href.startsWith('https://beehaw.org/post/')) {
return;
}
GM_openInTab(link.href, {
active: !e.button && !e.ctrlKey,
setParent: true,
insert: true,
});
suppressing = true;
setTimeout(function () {
window.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('mouseup', {bubbles: true}));
});
prevent(e);
}, true);
window.addEventListener('click', prevent, true);
window.addEventListener('auxclick', prevent, true);
function prevent(e) {
if (!suppressing) {
return;
}
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
setTimeout(function () {
suppressing = false;
}, 100);
}
