- Comment on selfh.st: improper etiquette by 2010 standards? (trackers, no RSS) Thoughts? 1 day ago:
There is an update on the RSS situation of selfh.st; TL, DR: seems to be related to ways to monetize, so now it’s available to paid subscription, but for free have to visit site to read.
- Comment on [Help request] How do I go about debugging my router? 5 days ago:
Traceroute can be a good hint, another way to confirm is on your router config interface, there should an IP address, subnet and gateway it connects to, with these values you could also verify it depending on what IP ranges it shows.

Well, if you are forwarding the ports from your home router, and you can’t reach it’s the most probable cause, if you are, that means that there is no public IP reaching your home router.
You could contact your ISP and confirm if this is the case, they could offer to assign a public IP for an extra fee, your only other option is to rent a cheap VPS and tunnel traffic between it and your home, but at this point you could also decide to host stuff on the VPS.
- Comment on [Help request] How do I go about debugging my router? 5 days ago:
If your ISP (Internet service Provider) doesn’t have you behind CGNAT or Double NAT (meaning that multiple homes share the same public IP), some ISP block the first block of 1024 ports, so any port below that number is blocked.
If the problem is that ports below 1024 are blocked, but you do have a public IP reaching your home router, you could contact your ISP so they unblock these ports for you (I had to do that once, so at least with my ISP it was as simple as asking).
The way you could test if your public IP reaches your home router is by exposing something on a higher port than 1024 like let’s say 8080, if you can reach a simple web or caddy or any other service from 8080, you can at least confirm, that is the issue.
Be aware that most ISP even if they assign a single IP per house, this IP can be dynamic and can rotate on a regular basis, like daily or weekly
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 5 days ago:
As others have already commented, what you need is a Dynamic DNS service, where you register a subdomain, and setup a small program or script on your computer that pings the DDNS server every few minutes, that way you leave that running on the background, and if the program detects that the IP with the request changes, it will update the subdomain to point to it automatically.
If you want a recommendation, I have been using DuckDNS for years, and it has been pretty reliable.

what is a good solution to keep a music folder backed up
syncthing (file sync, update: removed this, not needed, actually need a backup solution)
Backup solution, you could use Borg or Restic, they are CLI, but there are also GUI for them
how can I back up my Docker setup in case I screw it up and need to set it all up again?
learn to use Dockage to replace Portainer (done, happy with this)
If you did the switch to Dockge, it might be because you prefer having your docker compose files accessible easily on the filesystem, the question is if you have the persistent data of your containers in bind mounts as well, so they are easy to backup.
I have a git repo of my stacks folder, with all my docker compose files (secrets on env files that are ignored), so that I can track all changes made to them.
Also, I have a script that stops every container while I’m sleeping and triggers backups of the stacks folder and all my bind mount folders, that way I have a daily/weekly backup of all my stuff, and in case something breaks, I can roll back from any of these backups and just docker compose up, and I’m back on track.
An important step, is to frequently check that backups are good, I do this by stopping my main service and running from a different folder with the backed up compose file and bind mounts
- Comment on Recommendations for a version control system 1 week ago:
Used Gitea for a while, and decided to switch to Forgejo before the hard fork split (no more code from Gitea), been using it since, In my opinion both work well, but prefer Forgejo.
- Comment on Upgrading Paperless-ngx several revisions behind 2 weeks ago:
Having the ability to shut down the main instance of an app and run a secondary instance from backups without much hassle is the best feeling ever, I recently updated from Nextcloud v26 to v31, and having the ability to just go back to a working version if anything was wrong saved me from so much stress.
- Comment on Upgrading Paperless-ngx several revisions behind 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, these are pretty solid advice, would say that you should be safe with patch version updates, like from 1.17.1 to 1.17.4
Should be able to jump from 1.17.4 to 2.0.1 and from 2.0.1 to 2.1.3, etc. going straight to the last patch of the next version, but should go one by one minor version, paying close attention to those versions that have breaking changes in the release notes. And always backup and test before each version jump.
- Comment on Noob Tailscale questions 2 weeks ago:
This probably is the issue, when you download a script or binary from the internet it doesn’t have execution permission, you would have to right click on folder to open in terminal (that way don’t have to cd to it), and check permissions with
ls -laif it doesn’t have permission, change it withchmod - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
and then donate to the instance’s admins because there are no VC’s here … yet.
The point of lemmy (as far as I understand) is that there will not be a central corpo entity controlling and enshittifiying it as a whole, if that does happen to the particular instance your account or community is, you have the freedom to jump to another one, and continue your life.
On the other hand if you enjoy lemmy you could show support/donate, either to the devs, a particular instance admins, or even a particular community moderators
- Comment on Immich Flatpak 3 weeks ago:
In my mind it would be super useful, I could sync my photos when my PC is on and when is off rely on my local photos only since my main goal is having a backup of them.
You could do this perfectly with the docker version, so just curiosity here, why not user docker?
Is it because you don’t want to install docker for only Immich? (you could also install other selfhosted server/apps as bonus),
would you be against snap? As someone already mentioned, there is a snap version.
If the important thing is having backups of your photos, there are alternative apps with different packaging formats.
You could make a request for flatpak, I suppose, but you would have to wait for feedback from devs and understand if they don’t have the resources or willingness to maintain it.
Am I crazy or it makes sense?
Imho what makes sense is that, if I’m interested in a specific app, see what packaging formats it has and see how to install it and try it out. Only if I’m having issues with it, or can’t run it on my specific distro with the provided packaging formats, I try to suggest/request a different format.
- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 4 weeks ago:
As far as I know, the options are:
- Use a QR reader app that doesn’t auto open links (or lets you configure it like that), so you see the URL and inspect it before opening the URL in the browser.
- In case of a short URL, use a short URL resolver so you can see what is the real destination without actually opening the URL yourself.
- Using a DNS with block lists (that are updated often) of known phishing sites.
If these 3 checks fail, there is not much more you can do.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 9 months ago:
Dislike: there is still no way to group communities into sub feeds, apart from subs, local, all. (and the work around some do of having multiple accounts seems silly to me)
