  1. @gyptazy this is really tempting. I’m planning to move my matrix server to the cloud from my onprem server and maybe I’ll try to host my mail again… I tried it once, but the underling infra was not really reliable, so I lost a lot email, including a job offer 🙃
    Definitely the status page (#UptimeKuma) (for #Tutter #Blintflix and my other not so important pet projects) could move from my #Rock5 in my bookshelf to the cloud.
    And $10/mo is super generous!

  2. Yaaay, today I set up #UptimeKuma as status page for #tutter, #Blintflix and for all my other services! :loveparrot:

    Check the status page: status.tutter.org/

    This tool is awesome!

  3. Since I'm lazy and haven't written my blog (yet... yes, I keep telling myself that), even though I don't have a working homepage, I'm posting about my work here.

    I run a Jellyfin server with more than 40 users (20-ish active), and since the beginning, I created users manually, mostly for my techy friends and my close family, and they were perfectly fine with the fact that I created a user for them and send the username and password via plain text in some communication platforms...

    But the server has grown a lot in recent times and I started experiencing that some users forgot their passwords frequently and so on...

    So I started looking for a user management tool for Jellyfin.

    And I found Wizarr.
    Since I used more *arr products, I started using it, but it wasn't the solution I needed.

    So I continued looking for an alternative solution when I found jfa-go, developed by only one guy from the UK!
    jfa-go.com/

    I quickly assembled some manifests for my Kubernetes instance and deployed the latest version of the code, which was 8 months old at this time.

    I found the setup process quite easy, and loved all the features, but ran into a bug with an utf8 characters (it was an ő in one of my user's username).
    First I tried to resolve this, but I couldn't (I do not speak TypeSript 🙃), so I created an issue.

    And I was super surprised when I got a helpful answer within 2-3 hours!

    After resolving this issue, I migrated to the unstable version (with pinned sha256 hash!) of the application, and experienced another bug.

    So, I created a new issue, and hrfee (the guy who developed the app) helped me with this again for almost a week every night (and sometimes during working hours too 😅), and yesterday (almost midnight) he found the bug, and quickly released a fix for me!

    I'm sharing this because I'm grateful that I received so much support and I think his project is cool and very useful for all Jellyfin admins.
