    No you don't need two: in fact I have only unbound setup to do everything with one piece of software.

    Better or worse? No idea, but it works and its one less piece that might fail.

    I have a quite rich selfhosted stack, and DNS is indeed part of it.

    For such a critical piece of infrastructure I didn't needed a container, just installed Unbound and did some setup for ad blocking and internal DNS rules.

    Here my setup: https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=router:dhcp-dns

    You could go with an independent pihole maybe, but that would double the chances of a hardware failure...

    Using one device for everything might seem risky, but actually has less chances of failure ;)

    There is no "write and forget" solution. There never has been.

    Do you think we have ORIGINALS or Greek or roman written texts? No, we have only those that have been copied over and over in the course of the centuries. Historians knows too well. And 90% of anything ever written by humans in all history has been lost, all that was written on more durable media than ours.

    The future will hold only those memories of us that our descendants will take the time to copy over and over. Nothing that we will do today to preserve our media will last 1000 years in any case.

    (Will we as a specie survive 1000 more years?)

    Still, it our duty to preserve for the future as much as we can. If today's historians are any guide, the most important bits will be those less valuable today: the ones nobody will care to actually preserve.

    Citing Alessandro Barbero, a top notch Italian current historian, he would kill no know what a common passant had for breakfast in the tenth century. We know nothing about that, while we know a tiny little more about kings.

  • Shimitar Shimitar 1 week ago 100%

    Well, here is the relevant part then, sorry if it was not clear:

    • Jellyfin will not play well with reverse proxy auth. While the web interface can be put behind it, the API endpoints will need to be excluded from the authentication (IIRC there are some examples on the web) but the web part will stil force you to double login and canot identify the proxy auth passed down to it.
    • Jellyfin do support OIDC providers such Authelia and it's perfectly possible to link the two, in this case as i was pointing out, Jellyfin will still use it's own authentication login window and user management, so the proxy does not need to be modified.

    TLDR: proxy auth doesnt work with Jellyfin, OIDC yes and it bypassess proxy, so in both cases proxy will not be involved.

    This is my jellyfin nginx setup: https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:jellyfin#reverse-proxy_configuration

    currently i don't use any proxy related authentication because i need to find the time to work with the plugins in Jellyfin. I don't have any chromecast, but i do regularly use the Android Jellyfin app just fine.

    I expect, using the OIDC plugin in jellyfin, that Jellyfin will still manage the login via Authelia itself, so i do not expect much changes in NGINX config (except, maybe, adding the endpoints).

    You might use LDAP, but its total overkill.

    I have not yet worked jellyfin with authelia, but its more or less the last piece and I don't really care so far if its left out.

    A good reverse proxy with https is mandatory, so start with that one. I mean, from all point of views, not login.

    I have all my services behing nginx, then authelia linked to nginx. Some stuff works only with basic auth. Most works with headers anyway, so natively with authelia. Some removed don't, so I disable authelia for them. Annoying, but I have only four users so there is not much to keep in sync.

    Web printing

    Hi! I have setup ScanServJS which is an awesome web page that access your scanner and let you scan and download the scanned pages from your self hosted web server. I have the scanner configured via sane locally on the server and now I can scan via web from whatever device (phone, laptop, tablet, whatever) with the same consistent web interface for everyone. No need to configure drivers anywhere else. I want to do the same with printing. On my server, the printer is already configured using CUPS, and I can print from Linux laptops via shared cups printer. But that require a setup anyway, and while I could make it work for phones and tablets, I want to avoid that I would like to setup a nice web page, like for the scanner, where the users no matter the device they use, can upload files and print them. Without installing nor configuring anything on their devices. Is there anything that I can self-host to this end?

    Power outage worries

    Hi fellow hosters! I do selfhost lots of stuff, starting from the classical '*Arrs all the way to SilberBullet and photos services. I even have two ISPs at home to manage failover in case one goes down, in fact I do rely on my home services a lot specially when I am not at home. The main server is a powerful but older laptop to which i have recently replaced the battery because of its age, but my storage is composed of two raid arrays, which are of course external jbods, and with external power supplies. A few years ago I purchased a cheap UPS, basically this one: EPYC® TETRYS - UPS https://amzn.eu/d/iTYYNsc Which works just fine and can sustain the two raids for long enough until any small power outage is gone. The downside is that the battery itself degrades quickly and every one or two years top it needs to be replaced, which is not only a cost but also an inconvenience because i usually find out always the worst possible time (power outage), of course! How do you tackle the issue in your setups? I need to mention that I live in the countryside. Power outages are like once or twice per year, so not big deal, just annoying.

    i am well over 40 and still play games. The "problem" is that gaming now compete with lots of more important stuff like: kids, family, dogs, home repairs, sport activity, wife, work, errands to run, and sure I am leaving out many.

    So, forget sitting on a computer or console for even half hour. I consume quick mobile games, where reflexes are not decisive (that's age, thanks).

    I even bought a real Nintendo DS Lite with the cracked cartridge to load games on microssd, and my kid loves it, but even New Super Mario Bros takes too long between saves for the free time I have, so you get the idea.

    Would I still do hours gaming sessions even if I could? No, too many hobbies and ideas that pop up all the time to work on... Maybe this is because I cannot for the sake of life get closed to modern games. AAA are cashgrabs, indie require too much time researching them, and anyway I need mobile gaming, that sucks overall.

    They get DMCA'd regularly and content get removed on Usenet as well. But the fact that they have to report literally thousands of individual files every time make it slow and inefficient. People will just reload the same item many times and it's always there.

    Each copy, each single file in which the copy is split needs to be identified and asked for removal. Compared to torrents, it's a long and complex task.

    As sport watches go, get a Garmin. Its proprietary, but it's the best in the class.

    Battery last days/weeks (5/6 days with some 10-15 hours of sport tracking with GPS active).

    I suggest some "older" models with MIPs displays, not AMOLED, because they have better (absolutely perfect) under the sun readability and much better battery life.

    You need the Garmin Connect app on phone, but the web interface to the Garmin ecosystem is simply the best.

    I managed to integrate Fittrackee (self hosted) and synched to my Garmin profile to keep all my activity self hosted.

    Despite being proprietary, Garmin software is quite nice and the watch can be connected directly to PC to download activities and tracks even without using the app.

    Issue with local DNS and Android

    I have a home network with an internal DNS resolver. I have some subdomains (public) that maps to a real world IP address, and maps to the home server private address when inside home. In short, i use unbound and have added some local-data entries so that when at home, those subdomains points to 192.168.x.y instead. All works perfectly fine from Windows and from Linux PCs. Android, instead, doesnt work. With dynamic DHCP allocation on android, the names cannot be resolved (ping will fail...) from the android devices. With specific global DNS servers (like dns.adguard.com) of course will always resolve to the public IP. The only solution i found is to disable DHCP for the Wifi on android and set a static IP with the 192.168.x.y as DNS server, in this case it will work. But why? Aynbody has any hints? It's like Android has some kind of DNS binding protection enabled by default, but i cannot find any information at all.

    DNS issues

    Hi! i am selfhosting my services and using a DNSMasq setup to provide ad-blocking to my home network. I was thinkering with Unbound to add a fully independent DNS resolver and not depend on Google/Adblock/Whatever upstream DNS server but i am unable to make Unbound work. Top Level Domains (like com, org...) are resolved fine, but anything at second level doesn't. I am using "dig" (of course i am on linux) and Unbound logging to find out what's going on, but i am at a loss. Could be my ISP blocking my requests? If i switch back to google DNS (for example) all works fine, but using my Unbound will only resolve TLDs and some random names. For example, it will resolve google.com but not kde.org... Edit: somehow fixed by nuking config file and starting over.

Edit: anybody using monicahq or has experience with it? Clarification: indeed I could use a general note taking app for this task. I already host and use silverbullet for general notes and such. I am looking at something more focused on daily events and connections. Like noting people met, sport activities and feedbacks, names, places... So tagging and date would be central, but as well as connections to calendar and contacts, and who knows what else... So I want to explore existing more advanced, more specialized apps. Edit2: I ended up with BookStack. MonicaHQ seems very nice but proved unable to install using containers. It would not obey APP_URL properly and would mess up constantly HTTP / HTTPS redirection.

    Riflessione su app e monetizzazione

    Ciao, non se se sia la comunità giusta ma provo a postare qui. Ho recentemente installato a partire da un suggerimento trovato sul sito che non si può nominare un Launcher nuovo che si chiama Niagara Launcher. Non posto link per non fare pubblicità, ma il nome lo faccio per contestualizzare. Le premesse erano molto interessanti: un Launcher fluido con un concetto leggermente innovativo, anche se tutto sommato neanche troppo. Dopo neanche cinque minuti di prova mi rendo conto che qualsiasi funzionalità non basica è da attivare e prevede il pagamento, e fino qui non ci vedo niente di strano, quello che mi ha lasciato perplesso (e mi ha fatto disinstallare istantaneamente l'applicativo) è stato che la formula di pagamento prevedeva un plan annuale che partiva dai €10. Ora chi sano di mente può pensare che qualcuno abbia intenzione di pagare un recurrent di €10 per una cagata come un launcher? 2, 3 o forse anche 5€ una tantum credo che li avrei pagati. Per quanto innovativo o curioso sicuramente è una follia. Il concetto di fondo è che io pago un recurent per un servizio.Non pago recurent per fondamentalmente un software cosi basico. Credo che la cosa sia un po' uscendo di mano Cosa ne pensate? Sia chiaro che il mio problema non è quello di remunerare o meno gli sviluppatori che è giustissimo che siano remunerati ma quella che è l'aspettativa di remunerazione.

    Looking for a way to monitor my services

    Hi! i have a mixed set of containers (a few, not too many) and bare-metal services (quite a few) and i would like to monitor them. I am using good old "monit" that monitors my network interfaces, filesystems status and traditional services (via pid files). It's not pretty, but get the work done. It seems i cannot find a way to have it also monitor my containers. Consider that i use podman and have a strict one service, one user policy (all containers are rootless). I also run "netdata" but i find it overwhelming, too much data, too much graphics, just too much for my needs. I need something that: - let me monitor service status - let me monitor containers status - let me restart services or containers (not mandatory, but preferred) - has a nice web GUI - the web gui is also mobile friendly (not mandatory, but appreciated) - Can print some history data (not manatory, but interesting) - Can monitor CPU usage (mandatory) - Can monitor filesystem usage (mandatory) I don't care for authentication features, since it will be behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS and proxy authentication already. I am not looking for a fancy and comples dashboard, but for something i can host on a secondary page that i open if/when i want to check stuff. Also, if the tool can be scripted or accessed via an API could be useful, so i would write some extractors to print something in a summary page in my own dashboard.

    My take on selfhosted photo management

    I have spent quite a lot of time trying to find the *best* photo management solution for my use case, and i think i have finally got a solution in mind. Please follow me and help me understanding what could be improved. The use case: I took, over the decades, thousand of pictures with manual, film based SLR, digital DSLR and many other devices. Today i mostly only take pictures with my phone and occasionally (like 1-5 rolls per year) B/W film photos. I like to have all the pictures neatly organized per album. Albums are events, trips, occasion or just a collection of photos for any good reason together. I have always organized albums my folders and stored metadata either in the photo or in sidecar files. Over the decades i changed many management tools (the longest has been Digikam) but they all faded away for one reason or the other. I do not want to change organization since it proved solid over decades. I do not trust putting all eggs in a database or a proprietary tool format. The needs: backup photos from family phones. Organize photos in albums (format as stated above), share & show pictures with family (maybe broader public too), archive for long term availability. Possibly small edits like rotation. Face recognition is a good plus, geographical mapping and reverse geotagging is a great plus. General object recognition could be useful but not a noticeable plus. Also i need multi-user support for family members both on backup and gallery-like browsing. My galleries need to be all shared (or better one big gallery, plus individual backups for users) What i don't need: complex editing / elaboration (would be done offline with darktable) Non-negotiable needs: storing photos in album-based subfolders structure with all metadata inside photos or sidecar files. No other solution will ever stand the test of time. I tried many tools and none fits the bill. Here are my experiences: - Immich: by far the most polished, great for phone backup&sync, not good for album organization (photos cannot be sorted into folders, albums are logical only). Has the best face detection and reverse geocoding. - Photoprism: given up because i don't like open-source with money tags (devs have all the rights to ask for money, but i distrust a model where they might give up support unless they make money) - Librephoto: feels abandoned and UI & Face detection is subpar with immich - PiGallery2: blazing fast and great UI, but cannot be used for backups nor organization. But can cope well with my long lasting collections of photos. - Piwigo: i used this decades ago. By today standards feels ugly bloated and slow as hell. No benefits anyway for my use case that compensate slugginesh. And my server is **powerfull**. - Damselfly: great tool and super friendly dev, unfortunately i could not fit into my use case. It can work on folders, but it's actions are too limited and beside downloads and exports and tagging... not much else. Not even backups from phone. I understand it's use case is totally different from mine. Still a great piece of software. My solution: more of the idea of how i want to proceed from here on... Backup: keep the great Immich for phone backups. Limitations: requiring **emails** as user logins breaks my home server authentication scheme but i can live with it. The impossibility to organize photos in folders is a deal breaker but luckily, you can define "logical" albums and **download** them. Organization: good old filesystem stuff, i don't need any specific tools. Existing photos are already sorted in subfolders, new albums can be created from Immich, downloaded, and stored on new subfolders on the server. Non-phone albums (DSLR, film cameras...) can just be added as well directly on filesystem Viewing: PiGallery2 pointed at the subfolders, blazing fast viewing online for all family members. Global workflow: take photos from phones, upload automatically to immich, then manually go sort them in albums, download albums and create appropriate subfolders on the server (if needed to save space, delete downloaded photos from immich). Upload/unzip and enjoy from PiGallery2. -- OR -- take photos with other cameras, scan/process on PC (darktable), create appropriate subfolders on the server, upload and enjoy from PiGallery2. All in all what pisses me off of all this is: - Immich requiring a fucking **email** address to login (not a privacy concern here, but my users will need to remember a different login for this specific part) - Immich not supporting *subpaths*, i will need **two** subdomains to achieve this workflow, while just one would have been less complex for the users (something like photos.mydomain.org/gallery and photos.mydomain.org/backup, instead of photobackup.mydomain.org and photogallery.mydomain.org, you get the idea). I know all the blah blah on subdomains being better and such, i don't care, this is an usability issue for dumb users and, in general, it's the way i prefer it to be. Of course, the best course would be to have Immich support folders (not external libraries, but actually folder based albums which is totally different approach) and it being able to move photos to folders, but hey, it wouldn't be fun in that case :) Amy thoughts? UPDATE: Immich **storage templates** seems to be the missing link. Using that properly would cut out the manual download/reupload approach. Need to experiment a bit, but looks promising. -

    Web based markdown gui

    I am setting up my notes approach which is using dedicated apps on my devices plus syncthing. I tried lots of tools like Joplin obsidian etc but are too overkill or had something I don't like. So I am using markor on android and another dedicated app on Linux and so on. I would like to add also a web app to edit the MD files directly on my server when I don't have any way to install syncthing or an editor app. The web GUI would need to list the MD files local on the server and let me edit/view/save them. Upload and download is not required as I already have that setup via filebrowser. Any hints? Edit: to be clear, i am not looking for an IDE or anything fancy, i only need to edit some notes online on my server. I do not want to spin containers or deploy full VS solutions just for this, all i need is a web gui editor for MD with the capability to load files on the server Second edit: i ended up selfhosting Silverbullet.md which made my day. Exactly what i was looking for, even more than that. Thanks all!

    Batch video conversion from command line

    Hi fellow sailors, i have lots of downloaded... ISOs... that i need to converto to save space. I would like to make them all of the same size, let's say 720p, and same format, let's say h265. I am on linux and the... ISOs... are sorted into a neatly named hierarchy of sub-folderds, which i want to preserve too. What is the best tool (CLI) for the scope? I can use ffmpeg with a bash script, but is there anything better suited?

    Download an... iso... to find all files inside with strage names?

    Let's say i download an iso for my latest favourite distro and, after unpacking the rar (usenet) i find the right contents but all the filenames are a bunch of hexadecimal strings. The files are legit, but how do i "decode" the names to know which one is file n.1, file n.2 and so on?

    Joplin alternative?

    I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser... Which is not supported. Are there good alternatives that are: - fully open source - have android client - have web client or viewer - can be synched VOA WebDAV or native method I can also settle for a Joplin web viewer of sorts! UPDATE: i opened up a can of worms. I would have never tought there would be so many tools for this task, and so many different shades of how it can be done. Even excluding ALL the non-truly-FOSS solutions out there, there are still tons of tools with good points and bad points. Of course, NONE fits my bill so i will spin mine… Joking, i have no time for that. Using joplib-webview feels too much. Spinning containers just for that meh. Will try tough. The joplin .md files are only "sync" files, from which yo ucan probably extract the notes. But that would be not the best idea. Maybe some kind of link to Joplin terminal would be the way forward. I will see. I will stay on Joplin, it's the closest i could find to what i need, the only lacking is a web viewer, which i can live without for the time being after all. Thank you all, and to anybody still chiming in!

    Fighting with immich

    After all the amazing reviews and post i read immich I decided to give it a try. To be honest I am quite impressed, it's fast and polished, it just works. But I found a few quirks, and hit a wall with the developer that doesn't seems kind to listen to users that much (on these issues at least!) Maybe you guys have suggestions? Here I go: One: it does not support base URLs, witch means that I had to spin a dedicated sub domain to be able to access it over internet while all my other services are on a single sub domain. I can work with that, but why. Dev already shut this request down in the past as "insecure". Which I find baffling. (I mean use mydomain/immich instead of immich.mydomain) Two: auth cannot be tied to reverse proxy. I get it, it provides OAuth. But it's much more complex than proxy based auth... And overkill for many cases, mine for sure. Three: impossible to disable authentication at all, which would just work fine in my use case. There is a switch that seems for that, but no, it's only for using OAuth. Four: I cannot find a way to browse by location, only by map. (Locations list seems to be half baked unless I am missing something). Five: no way to deploy on bare metal, and I tried! due to lack of documentation (only info I found where very very outdated), and no willingness to provide info about that either. Seems that docker is so much better that supporting bare metal is a waste of time. Six: basically impossible to manage easily public albums. like a public landing page. I get this might be outside immich scope. Seven: even if now you can import existing libraries, it still does not detect albums withinbthem (sub folders) which is very annoying. So, overall its a great project and very promising, faster and more reliable than Libre Photos in my use case, but still lacking some basic features that the Dev seems not interested in adding. He developed it to please his wife, I get it :) - no pun intended, doing all this take lots of time, I know. These are the alternatives I know of: Photo prism requires a subscription for reverse Geo coding. LibrePhotos feels sluggish and kind if abandoned. Are there any others? (Piwigo and Lytchee are great tools, but different kind of tools) Let's hope for immich, Dev is working a lit, let's hope for the best.

    Why docker

    Hi! Question in the title. I get that its super easy to setup. But its really worthwhile to have something that: - runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems) - you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it - lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules...) I always host on bare metal when I can, but sometimes (immich, I look at you!) Seems almost impossible. I get docker in a work environment, but on self hosted? Is it really worth while? I would like to hear your opinions fellow hosters.

    Chiami Vodafone e ti richiama TIM?

    Sono cliente FWA Vodafone da un anno, ogni volta che c'è un problema e chiamo il 190 (successo tre volte) nei giorni seguenti vengo bombardato di chiamate fastidiose e ripetitive da un callcenter (lo stesso?) che mi propone di passare a TIM perché tanto Vodafone non funzionerà mai per (... Motivi improbabili e tecnicamente assurdi... ). Solo dopo che li mando a vagare più volte viene pii risolto il problema su Vodafone. Sono paranoico o è capitato ad altri? (Sono sempre tutti call center che rispondono dall'Albania) PS: dal 26/12 ho 0.03mb/sec, il ticket di supporto tecnico Vodafone "va avanti" solamente dopo che ho risposto a bestemmie alle gentili operatrici del call center Albanese di TIM... Secondo me sono lo stesso call center del 190 che fa il doppio lavoro...) Aggiornamento: ho candidamente chiesto al call center. Mi hanno detto che lo stesso call center gestisce entrambi gli operatori tramite lo stesso software, per cui vedono le segnalazioni aperte e to chiamano sperando che tu cambi operatore, loro guadagnano a commissione sui contratti chiusi... Bella serietà da parte di Vodafone e TIM servirsi di call center cosi "shady".

    Sailing Arr seas and the Usenet oceans

    One month ago I decided to give the 'Arrs a chance and, while there are issues and limits, i'am loving them. But I have an issue: at home I have only internet access trough a 5G mobile network connection which means zero opportunity to have port forwarding or open ports at all. This rules out private torrent trackers (tried a couple, no luck in getting any ratio ofc). Public torrent trackers being basically shit, I decided to give Usenet a try, and two things happened: 1. I started loving it! 2. I discovered I have a 1tb/months full band with cap on my home connection. After that from 200mb/s I get dropped to 6mb/s this time, unlimited bandwidth. I have a few suggestions first for newcomers: 'Arrs: start using them NOW. Also, they will help you organize your existing library, but be aware that doing a good job is not only mandatory but also time-consuming. Also, get JellyFin and it will play along with your organized (-- imean it) collection nicely. Make sure you set proper umask and group (media management/advanced settings for each arr app) do that the entire stack andbl jellyfin can write into your media collection: this will reduce issues with metadata sync a lot. Get bazarr working with subscene! And setup a nice nginx reverse proxy for the entire stack. Some issues I ran into: Readarr really has issues with finding stuff and specially with audio books. Anybody could help me out here? Lidarr seems always to go to torrent, which get stuck with no seeders for me. Is there music on Usenet? Now to the last part: Usenet! That changed my entire game. As movies and TV series, I can literally find anything fast and saturated my 1tb plan in two days. I have newshosting and recently got eweka for less than 4€/month. Don't get caught in the common lie of three months free: they always charge 15 month immediately so you cannot really test them out then cancel. As indexers I got NZBGeek and I am planning to seek out DrunkenSlug. Any suggestions here? (I know newshosting and eweka are probably overlapping, getting both was a mistake, but a relatively cheap one) One last question: audiobooks and music on Usenet: what is your experience? One truly last question: any way to integrate soulseek (nicotine+) on the arr stack? Thanks fellow sailors.

    Usenet

    So, i want to give a try to usenet world. I have the *Arr setup with torrents now, and works great, but why not experiment a bit further? So many questions... First of all: will i find italian contents? Or its all US/English stuff? I got an account on NZBFind, bit thats only an indexer right? I need also to find an access provider to usenet? If so, which access provider do you recomend? I want somewhere i can test for a few weeks or a month or so before committing, so no credit card upfront. Update: trough techradar got an offer on newshosting for 5.99/mo with 3 monts free. Paid with PayPal then cancelled the recurrent immediately (so paid 0 so far). But at the moment not yet sure i made it working in my *Arr setup properly.

(linux user, with always on server at home, behind a 5G unlimited connection) I am a torrent person, dont understand usenet at the moment. A few questions to fellow sailors: - how do you safely and easily import your existing libraries? (Movies tv.shows books..) - how do you manage multiple languages.in movies? Like having the movie in french and english both - where and how to search for audiobooks? Really cant find many... Any tips for daily usage?

    Mi serve un buon smartwatch con ottime funzioni multisport e un GPS a prova di bomba, anche in acqua. Mia moglie ha un Garmin Fenix 5pro che va da dio ma.... Lo schermo fa davvero schifo. Al momento ho uno Xiaomi Watch S1 che esteticamente e come schermo èdavvero ottimo ma... Il software fa schifo e le funzioni sport fanno ridere, il GPS è imbarazzante (mi da 6000m dislivello+ dove il garmin di mia moglie da 1600m...). Stavo guardando cosa prendere... E mi attira sia il forerunner 965 che un fenix 7 di qualche tipo. Cosa prendereste? (PS dopo esperienze negative con altre matche quali Polar credo che salvo forte evidenza di qualcuno, garmin sia il meglio)

    comunità training Triathlon

    Ciao! Sono un triatleta amatoriale e penso sarebbe interessante una community dove condividere i propri allenamenti con gli altri per discutere e scambiarsi idee. Non una community generale Triathlon in quanto quella potrebbe servire per scambiarsi idee e spunti più generali (es gare, tracce, consigli zona cambio, squadre, etc), ma una dedicata al training. Potrebbe attirare anche dei coach freelance ad esempio. Oddio, volendo anche tutte e due (generale e training). Che ne pensate? Io dal mio posterei quotidiamente i miei allenamenti e potrei moderare anche se non sono un professionista ne un coach, non penso sarebbe necessario esserlo.
