Why would I want to learn wordpress, much less spin up a database, for that?

3·12 days agoThat seems a lot more useful than binary tags. There’s a wide spectrum between fully vibe-coded slop and hand-written with vim.
Is the topic of financial/trading tools just completely off-limits here, even if it’s AGPL and self-hosted?
Not necessarily. The platform (lemmy, not just c/selfhosted) is full of anti-corporate leftists and anarchists. You’re more likely to find people who want to burn the stock market to the ground than to participate in it, esp highly speculative algo trading.
I’ve seen plenty of people ask about self-hosted personal finance or portfolio tracking, so there are people for whom your project might be relevant. Just seems more like a r/wallstreetbets kind of thing than a lemmy kind of thing.
If you’re in the Western hemisphere, NOAA has every-5-minute satellite images, using the form

Could they be astroturfing, looking for a specific solution to fill search engines with their own product placement, then deleting because most of the comments are other FOSS solutions?
Yeah, I started with a PCI (no e) card, but had to switch to USB when it got hard to find cheap motherboards with PCI slots. It’s an old setup :) Honestly amazed that they can fit the whole thing into a thumb-sized USB dongle, although I suppose it’s easier without the analog side.
I use a USB tuner like https://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_dualhd.html and https://mythtv.org/ Has to be plugged into an external antenna, and it really helps for that antenna to be on the 2nd floor, in a window, with clear view unobstructed by aluminum siding.
tvheadend.org or HDhomerun are probably more general solutions.
My setup is a pile of kludges built on top of each other over the last two decades.
I started with ULAs distributed through DHCP, connected to named, which allows hosts do declare their own name and let me access local services as though I had a real domain.
My ISP eventually started supporting IPV6, but only assigned /128, so the ULAs got NAT-6ed out to the real world.
I eventually learned how to request prefix delegation from the ISP and set up SLAAC.
So now, my PIv6 clients have a) their link-local address, b) the ULA, c) a “privacy” SLAAC, and d) a unique SLAAC. All my internal services still refer to the ULAs.
I don’t think I’d recommend this system for someone setting up from scratch. The easiest thing would be to go with SLAAC, if you can get prefix delegation, and set your DNS/pihole to send the unique-SLAAC address of any servers you run.
Dunno how well it would work with kubernates internal networks, but my DNS is configured with different views for internal and external clients. So, when letsencrypt does a lookup, they get the external IP, but when an internal client looks up the same name, they get the internal IP. TLS is happy, because the certificate matches the name. I’m happy because it works even when the ISP is down.
