NixOS for the win! Define your system and services, run a single command, get a reproducible, Proxmox-compatible VM out of it. Nixpkgs has basically every service you'd ever want to selfhost.

Lost me at LLMs. My Nix config is over 20k lines long at this point, neatly split into more than a hundred modules and managing 8 physical machines and 30+ VMs. I love it.

But every time I've tried to use an LLM for nix, it has failed spectacularly.

You can, without root even! Take a look at uad-ng (universal android debloater). Comes with a community-curated list which sorts APKs into 5 tiers from "recommended to uninstall" to "yeah don't, your phone needs this to boot". Apps disabled through this do not come back after updates.

Removed 140+ apps from my Xiaomi, 120+ from my GFs Samsung S24, and 90+ from my brothers Motorola Edge something.

Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄

Oh, yeah. Wasn't actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.

Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. "Thank you for your request! We'll email you the link to your KVM access!" Gahhh.

Same. But also, I'll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.

Sorry, unfortunately can't help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven't even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don't know how things are on the tuwunel side, I'm very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

Let's hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I'm not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US' boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we're incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

FWIW, I've been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I'm using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.
