Thanks for getting into the specifics!

No, it’s not just EU. Proton mail is the first one I saw, haven’t checked for others.

It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn’t be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other

Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.

I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

• Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
• Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
• Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
• Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
• Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
• Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
• Graphene on a pixel

Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

I’ve always wanted to archive stuff, but storage costs keep getting in the way. Any idea if there’s some trick people use to get around it? I’d love me a tape robot, but that’s stupid expensive.

Can’t recall what the title was, but I do remember reading a guide of sorts that essentially boiled down to “start following tags first, you can filter people later”.

At The Moment

I mean… Normally men measure something other than beards. This is such a weird choice!

A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:

I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.

How do you control it? Any fancy integration or just good old mouse?

I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.

how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.

dire problems, including those that accumulate over time

That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.

As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.

In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.

Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.

Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.

I’m not the best person to query about backups, but in your situation I would do the following, assuming both server and desktop run on BTRFS:

Have a script on the desktop that starts btrfs-receive and then notifies the server that it should start btrfs-send.

You can also do rsync if BTRFS is not a thing you use, but It would either be expensive storage wise, or you would only ever have 1 backup - latest.

As comment in another post said - this is for modules only. There’s still a ton of binary fluff that is the main cause of issues and that is not getting open sourced.

I’ve found this.

It does seem suspicious, though.

RackNerd provides up to 100 free IPv6 addresses upon request.

Pick one.

Fair enough. What stuff do you run on your regular week?

I’ve not had anything like that since… forever. But then I’m not a kde nor fedora user. Naturally raises the question - have you considered switching from kde, fedora or both?

I’ve been running mine for just over 5 years now - initial setup was ass, but it’s very much hands off now - email simply doesn’t change anymore.

If you have a domain to test - I can host it for you. If you then decide that it works well enough for you - I’ll show you how to set it up on your own server.
