Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student in computer science, studying the intersection between formal logic and artificial intelligence.

I enjoy and love all things , I am a user and often tinker around with my .

I also fumble around with and enjoy vibing outdoors when the weather is nice. When I'm extra ambitious, I'll add a hike in!

@brozek Hello 👋 What services do you have in your homelab?

@SonoMichele Hello there! Honestly my most used services are for document collaboration:
- Overleaf (github.com/overleaf/overleaf)
- Hedgedoc (hedgedoc.org/)

I've recently started taking advantage of file syncing again through Nextcloud. Though I usually bounce around on that front between not syncing at all and using Syncthing.

How about you? What's your favorite service?

@brozek My favorite one is Vaultwarden (github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwa) which I use almost daily. Then there’s pi hole and NextCloud (although I use it mainly to backup my phone’s photos automatically). I also have Jellyfin for movies and TV series but I use it only when something isn’t on Netflix

@SonoMichele I <3 Bitwarden, I currently use their hosted service though I may one day host it myself. I used to run PiHole, but I ended up buying an OPNsense router and using Unbound with blocklists. I didn't feel comfortable having my DHCP server as a separated from my router. Mainly since rebooting that box essentially meant "bringing down the internet" for my home.

@brozek Yeah makes sense, that’s the reason why I didn’t put my raspberry IP address as dns directly in the router dhcp. Don’t want to “kill” the internet for my entire family if I’m doing things on the raspberry and need to reboot it

@SonoMichele How do you route DNS traffic to the PiHole then? Do you only set it on a few of your devices?

@brozek Yeah I just manually set it as primary DNS on my devices, my router doesn’t let me set more DNSs or I just looked in the wrong place when trying

@SonoMichele To get around that a lot of people disable DHCP on the router and enable it in PiHole. But then the PiHole is responsible for both the DNS and handing out IP addresses...

@brozek Ah I didn’t know About that, but there’s still the problem that if for some reason my raspberry goes offline nobody in my network can go online right?
