  still steam prevents you from running more than one game at once from one account

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post your Servernames!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  my storage machine is luggage, and i use discworld names that kind of are relevant to the gunction for everything else in my network, too. my robot vacuums name is lu-tze for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Radicale the way forward?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  have you heard about immich? it’s a bit ‘heavy’, too, but that’s because it’s not just a photo backup solution but aims to be a self-hosted multi-user replacement for google photos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HashiCorp joins IBM to accelerate multi-cloud automation⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  any alternative to vault you know of?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a good, cheap backup solution.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  they already have been around for a long time, i used them for about 8 years (if i remember correctly), before switching to borgbase last years because of the notifications they can send you when no backup has happened for a specific time, which rsync.net can’t 😐

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The bridge of the Klingon Battlecruiser from ST:TMP has been added to the Roddenberry Archive. You can freeroam on this and other bridge sets.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  inverter controls, oh god. that’s pretty weird on mobile… 😬 looks nice though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules, and replaces them with its own.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ofcourse docker desktop is not affected because it’s a vm running docker running on your computer. the nftables inside the container are modified by docker

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tip: mount Jellyfin transcode directory to hard drive!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that does not matter you can just download more ram

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what about trucks? should these rails not work for big trucks? or are trucks a minority?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  no wireguard should not decrease batterylife (see my other comment) we use wg eith always on without any problems. sometimes it stops on one phone but l9oking for the key icon and clicking the action button in the navigationcontrolmenuthingy is quite easy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that should not be the case because wireguard only ‘runs’ when it sends or receives packets. try setting the keepalive time a bit higher, 5 minutes maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what if your cloud=provider gets hacked ?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if you backup your vm data to the same provider as you run your vm on you don’t have an ‘off-site’-backup, which is one criteria of the 3-2-1 backup rule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any recommendations for monitoring my servers?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  netdata is easy to set up and detects a lot of things on it’s own like databases and ntpd and…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I use two different drives?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  pic from a google datacenter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I use two different drives?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s also what we did in the early 2000s when building servers. today i don’t think it realy matters. i haven’t had a failed drive for about 10 years and only needed to swap them out because of the capacity…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i agree with you. also the ‘use vscode ssh-remote-eeit-plugin’ or ‘install a remote web ide thing to edit one file’ answers are… questionable.

  syncthing does not require to open access to the outside and does what op wants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker or Podman for Jellyfin?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  there is a famous quote i like to use for this kind of question: "in the end it doesn’t […] matter’. maintenance should be about the same (if you update manually, which is better in my opinion, because you don’t come home to something not working because of breaking changes in the software)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A few Questions about reverse proxies and running your own Jellyfin server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  is the free vpn service the wireguard one? if yes and it is slow, than it won’t be any faster when using your own domain and exposing the server directly to the internet, because wireguard should be as fast as any direct connection. if it is not the wireguard vpn from the fritz box i’d recommend switching to it. this can be done by tge server jellyfin is running on if your box does not support wireguard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good server OS for Jellyfin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  in the end it doesn’t realy matter because you plan on running the services in containers. that beeing said, have you thought about arch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self Hostable Alternative to Galarm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  it should not as it only ‘runs’ when pakets are sent through it, but it also should not be much more ‘expensive’ than normal network pakages. that is the best part about wireguard!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to organize docker volumes into subdirectories using compose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  that is using bin mounts again. and i don’t get why this is discouraged, i actualy do like to know where my data is stored and don’t want to spin up a container that backs up using the volumes managed by docker. at that point you are using bind mounts again anyway.

  regarding your original question, i don’t think it is possible (or even useful) to tell docker where to store the volumes for each compose stack because you are not supposed to access the from the filesystem directly anyway.

  just continue using bind mounts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm using compose wrong and I know it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  doesn’t systemd come with it’s own container thingy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Network upgrades checkin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  proper access points support 30+ clients without any problem (I doubt that the advertised number of 300 clients holds up for unifi aps, but 30 is definitely not a problem), especially for low traffic clients like iot devices.

  why op gives up 2gbps from his 3gbps line is a mystery to me though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you backup your data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  of course /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any good alternatives to Home Assistant?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  i guess the issue is not that you can’t use yaml but instead that a lot of things are removed from the actual config.yaml file. inuser tonhave all integrations set up in that file, after every update i get a notification, that this is deprecated for that integration and that i should remove it and use the gui setup instead. i have my config in git which saved me from needing backups, because all was already configured and could be redeployed at any time to another machine. now that is not possible anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a non-tracking social media sharing Wordpress plugin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to the DSGVO we have this beauty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tailscale + VPN possible?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  what do you mean by ‘not allowed to run tailscale at the same time’? who does not allow it? or is it something technical? if it is - you absolutely can ‘run’ multiple vpn on the same machine at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨recommendations for selfhosted photo backup solution: folders vs albums?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m a fan of immich, but i don’t think it deletes photos from your phone when deleting it on the server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  may i introduce you to the ARD Mediathek where ‘Die Sendung mit der Maus’ (a kind of sciency kids show) can have, by law, only the latest episode available for streaming. some other things may be available for longer, but it’s still pretty stupid…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They tried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  some other just block access from the eu completely. (not a news site, but applebee’s does this)
