As I got bit by the homelab bug this past year I started replacing almost everything with self-hosted alternatives!

I am curious how many are into this?

I have a home server setup with DDNS (since I am not paying AT for a static IP)

Running docker on Ubuntu 24.04LTS on my main

And a NAS running on TrueNAS

I am running:

- Immich (Google photos replacement)

- ollama (local ai models using Qweb and Deepseek)

- n8n (for automating almost ANYTHING, mainly sending me SMS/telegram messages for when the water tank is full or if a water leak is detected at home)

- Sterling PDF (for all pdf tools you can think of)

- Skysend (WeTransfer replacement)

- Owncloud (Google Drive replacement)

- Paperless (Document scanning / Organizing tool)

- Stremio server + Torrentio (For watching movies/series and using my fiber to buffer the movie even if I am on LTE remotely)

- Wireguard (a VPN server, used for connected to my local network remotely + to play LAN games over the internet with friends)

- Nginx (reverse proxy to access my applications through https)

- searxng (Google Search/Bing replacement that allows me completely private search without the ads and tracking)

- KASM (running virtual machines that I can access through the browser from anywhere)

- Zero byte ( Automated file backup tool that even handles versioning)

- Pi-hole (Adblock for my entire home network )

As a business owner and someone who provides services I am so tired and frankly annoyed with how the average Algerian professional has no grasp on how to properly use emails.

The reliance on phone calls, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger (??) just adds a whole layer of unreliable data and exchange archiving, might feel fast initially but encourages incomplete information and completely unreliable exchanges that feel so unoptimized.

On an email: first you greet the receiving end, write your message as extensively as possible and sign off.

Instead I have to deal with businesses sending me voice memos that are frankly so encumbering to hear AND make it difficult to search for previous conversations.

Add to that, most of them not even checking their inbox which prompts you to call them on the phone THEN text them on WhatsApp for them to check their inbox.

I wouldn't have said much if this wasn't the majority of people I had to deal with, I was born and raised here, I got the same education.

So, what the hell?

I just started to teach myself heel-toe for fast double pedal use (ideally for extreme metal)

And I found I could approach it in two ways:

- R-Heel R-Toe L-Heel L-Toe

- R-Heel L-Heel R-Toe L-Toe

I am not which is ideal.

I plan to use it on an Iron Cobra 900 (which hasn't arrived yet)

It now says 25-27 working days.
It seems every time I check the page it keeps increasing.
This is absurd.

I uploaded my release on April 10th and no updates.

Safe to say after the single, I am definitely NOT releasing the album using RouteNote.
