# Personal
|
||
|
It has become a bit quiet around the services, wiki etc pp.
|
||
|
Mainly due to workload, health and a move to another house, which prevented me from doing anything for .ORG.
|
||
|
But slowly I'm starting to work on it again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Updates & searx/ng
|
||
|
Updates were still done regularly.
|
||
|
Due to the updates to python 3.11 the searx instance has changed a bit. Instead of searx it now runs searxng.
|
||
|
The differences between the two are listed here - https://github.com/searxng/searxng#differences-to-searx.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The domain stays the same - https://searx.techsaviours.org.
|
||
|
Basically everything is left on default settings. Except that it generally runs on dark theme and a bit of branding was added.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Wiki
|
||
|
The wiki is almost finished. Wireguard will be added soon to complete the wiki. So that also your server/s at home will be reachable from everywhere.
|
||
|
The wiki can be seen as a kind of basic. But there is so much more you can do for your privacy but it depends on your own use.
|
||
|
I personally use a few cameras in my house. This brings up a few questions:
|
||
|
- what kind of devices are needed for that
|
||
|
- what software
|
||
|
- blocking the propriety devices via firewall & AdGuardHome
|
||
|
- ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sooner or later there will be various open source software that can extend your privacy. In this case, Home Assistant, Frigate, ... would be a good extension for the Wiki.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also a Linux section for "Phone" should come. The well known PinePhone (Pro) was used by me last year for about 10 months as a daily driver. It is great and I wish the battery lasts at least one day. For me the available apps are enough but the phone and especially the battery was not worth to use it further.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The keyboard gave me another 6000mah of battery. It was just enough for one day ... very annoying having the brick in a pocket ... The quality of calls is also not that great. Often people asked what I had said at all.
|
||
|
Nevertheless, I see great potential in Linux for mobile devices. Also the new pinetab2, looks very promising.
|
||
|
Long talk... this will also be added to the wiki.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Matrix
|
||
|
There will be some downtime in the near future. Since the retention has been on hold since the end of last year (https://techsaviours.org/news/en/whats-been-going-on-lately-new-server-matrix#matrix), manual intervention will take place. So at least the top 15 rooms will be a bit purged:
|
||
|
```

||
|
canonical_alias | room_id | num_rows

The database size (70GB) is still moderate but better too early than too late.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also, all users who have not logged in for more than a year will be deleted. So if you haven't logged in for more than a year and you want to keep your account or username, just log in.
|
||
|
|
||
|
That should be it for now. For all of you who are hanging around here, you know what's going on.
|
||
|
Have a good rest of the weekend!
