- Comment on pooling media libraries - like distributed storage 10 months ago:
Ceph, GlusterFS, and I suspect SeaweedFS (but I haven’t used it) expect high speed, low latency connections to their peers. So they won’t work well over the internet.
There’s some info floating around about using IPFS as the backend for Jellyfin, which in theory should allow you to share media between friends, but I haven’t tried it.

$500 a year?!? Hey buddy, thanks for looking after our IT systems, here’s an extra $1.50 a week …

- Comment on how much backing up would you do of a media server? 11 months ago:
I’ve lost my music collection twice. Once when I gave away all my cds in a fit of minimalism, once when our house got broken into and they took all our cds.
It’s farking annoying and takes forever to get all your music again. At the very least make sure you have a list of albums so you can remember what you had.
- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 11 months ago:
Yeah, so worth it! The first time I moved a service to a new box and realised all I had to do was copy the compose file and
docker-compose up -d… I was sold.Now I’m moving everything to Docker Swarm which is a new adventure. :-)
- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 11 months ago:
Another old school sysadmin that “retired” in the early 2010s.
Yes, use docker-compose. It’s utterly worth it.
I was intensely irritated at first that all of my old troubleshooting tools were harder to use and just generally didn’t trust it for ages, but after 5 years I wouldn’t be without.
- Comment on Self-Hosting Email - Software Recommendations? 11 months ago:
I’m really liking the look of stalwart, but it’s quite new. Mailu seems to be pretty nice, good features and not too resource heavy. Mailcow does everything, but it’s a 🐷.
- Comment on It's like a foodie version of a fleeting love story. 11 months ago:
In my early-20s I remember getting super baked and spending my rent money for the week on Sonic the Hedgehog ice creams.
At current rent prices that seems insane, but back then I was paying $30 a week for “alcove” in a warehouse. 🤣

Relatable. 🤣

Cats don’t have any of the typical traits of domestication. Humans do.
Draw your own conclusions.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
On the other hand, recent studies have indicated that most copulatory vocalizations in women do not accompany their own orgasm, but rather their partner’s ejaculation. The study showed that the man typically finds the woman’s vocalization arousing and highly exciting, and that the woman herself is aware of this.

almost.
- Comment on Demotivating a (Skilled) Programmer 1 year ago:
Some of it, yes. Some of it I already do for free.
Money matters, I gotta pay the rent. If I had to, I’d do whatever shit job to get by.
But once the basic scrap for survival and comfort is met, it’s not what motivates me.

+1 Recursive!
- Comment on Demotivating a (Skilled) Programmer 1 year ago:
My experience is that people are often motivated by quite different things.
Money matters to me, but it’s not what motivates me to work. What motivates me to work is how worthwhile the work seems to me and how much I enjoy working with my colleagues. And yeah, that’s tedious, it’d be so much easier if it was all about money, but that’s not the way my brain works.

Did you have to do anything special to get the Kobo sync working? I followed the instructions and nothing worked for me …

Just make sure that the container is shutdown before you copy the database or you can getcorruption.

All services which I need access to when I’m not home I host on a vps. All services which need lots of storage, I host at home.

I did’t think Revolt was compatible with Matrix and I can’t see anything on the website suggesting that? Link?
- Comment on Docker & Databases. Stack or Individual? 1 year ago:
Unless you are very constrained on resources, using a database per application is much easier.
