Thanks for the info. It looks like there’s no way to migrate from Conduit. If I reinstall from scratch using the same domain, and create an account again, will everything still work properly including federation with other servers?

My server is just for myself.

What did you end up doing? I’m still running Conduit at the moment and I’m not sure if I should continue using it, or switch to something else.

Do you have any actual problems with systemd, or do you just want SysV init scripts to stick around forever?

Maybe systemd isn’t the best, but it’s way better than a bunch of mostly unstructured shell scripts, and more secure (it’s pretty easy to reduce privileges, sandbox the filesystem, restrict syscalls, etc per service just by editing the unit file)

I use chezmoi and chezmoi_modify_manager to keep my dotfiles (including some KDE configs) in a Git repo, and it works well enough.

I like Pushover too. I’ve been using it for over 10 years now.

Australia has been using tap to pay for around 15 years now, whereas QR codes weren’t in widespread use in the country until COVID. There’s no reason to switch from NFC to QR given practically every bank’s app natively supports NFC payments now (no need to use a third-party wallet if you don’t want to)

The US is a different story… It took a looooong time for NFC payments to be adopted. I’m an Aussie living in the USA, and some of the US banks I use didn’t support contactless payments until a few years ago!

My car uses UWB (BMW Digital Key Plus) to automatically unlock when I’m walking towards it, once I’m pretty close. Maybe 1 meter (3 feet) from the car, in any direction. It has NFC as a fallback too - if the UWB thing fails for some reason, I can tap the phone to the door to unlock it too.

It’s worth noting that Proxmox uses Debian. It’s essentially a collection of Debian packages, and you can install Proxmox on top of an existing Debian system: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_13_Trixie

Proxmox lacks a Docker UI though, which is annoying. One of the reasons I’m using Unraid at home is because it supports KVM, LXC, and Docker, all in the same UI. (LXC is a plugin rather than being available out-of-the-box, but it works very well)

(and no, Proxmox’s new OCI container support isn’t it - that just converts the container to LXC and doesn’t handle upgrades)
