• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local domains constantly time out according to Uptime-Kuma⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard DuckDNS has become more unreliable. You could try another service like afraid.org and see if it makes a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2024 Self-Host User Survey Results⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I only need to send sign up and password reset emails for Jellyfin, I don’t need to receive any emails back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can selfhost Standard Notes. The notes are encrypted client side before they reach the server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative to Life360?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using OwnTracks for a while and it works really well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google and Brave The Only Search Engines Able To Index Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I setup a Lens so that if my query contains a single letter ‘r’', only Reddit results will be returned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages | July 2024 Update - New iOS App, Full Page Copy, User Administration and more... 🚀⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this is a bookmark software. You can probably use JDownloader for this to scrape a URL for downloadable content, depending on how the site you use is formatted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft fixes Windows 11 bug causing reboot loops, taskbar freezes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because your personal computer isn’t Windows, plenty of servers that contain your data are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨m3u (iptv) client which is not Jellyfin?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have run Jellyfin for about 3 years. Plex has a lot of community support and praise so I spun up a test instance. Unfortunately for Jellyfin, Plex is much most reliable for me in pretty much every way. I would love for Jellyfin to keep improving but the switch to Plex just made the media experience so much nicer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommend me a music streaming service?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve really been liking Tidal. It has a fair shake of Aussie artists and has a radio feature that feels very exploratory. I can go to John Williamson and tap radio and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to cram Billboard Top 100 down my throat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your fav recipe manager?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And a lesson to all as to why backups are essential.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyseer for ebooks?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried using Calibre with Readarr? You use Readarr and the request tool then you can tell Readarr to use Calibre to manipulate the library. I find that this does a fantastic job of sorting out all of my ebooks with all their editions and naming conventions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I use authentik with or without nginx proxy manager?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it in two different ways. If I am using OIDC (e.g. Audiobookshelf), then I will only use Authentik. If I need to use a proxy outpost and pass those credentials to the server (e.g. Navidrome) then I need to use NPM to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - basings/selfhosted-music-overview: A table listing software network services which can be hosted on your own servers⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer Symphonium. Tempo isn’t nearly featured enough for me just yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which dynamic dns hoster?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cloudflare with CloudflareDDNS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite note-taking application?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used Joplin and Standard Notes. I do use Standard Notes premium and I much prefer it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should i use Cloudflare?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re asking on Lemmy, so you’re going to get a lot of privacy related answers. For usability, Cloudflare tunnels are a super easy and free way to setup and don’t involve your family members having to VPN into your network with Tailscale or Wireguard. This is especially useful if they are streaming from a smart TV or media stick.

  Is it the most privacy-friendly? No. You’re giving up a little bit of that for convenience and lower maintenance. IMO for my threat model, it’s worth it.

  Fort Collins, CO also

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good private email service?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  SimplyMail + OpenPGP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arrs Feedback⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on Jellyseerr awaiting the day that Overseerr receives its decoupling update to allow Jellyfin servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All prices seem to be going up around the board. I just got an email saying my Turkish Family Plan (via VPN) is increasing from TRY ₺59.99 to TRY ₺115.99. That’s $3.29 to $6.36.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy friendly authenticator ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like syncing across devices, Bitwarden (paid) or Proton Pass. If you already use Bitwarden and don’t like the idea of having passwords and 2FA in the same place, just make a second Bitwarden account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This seems to happen more and more recently⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were interested in trying another app, I love Waze and find its directions and navigation far superior to Google Maps (even though it’s owned by Google, go figure).

  If you don’t mind trying a map app based on OSM, try Magic Earth. It has really good navigation for driving and you can even download large maps offline for a fraction of the storage it would take using Google or Apple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Search engines compared⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s most likely an API key that counts each search performed and logs it against your account. You don’t need to see a user’s search to track that information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mullvad and Tailscale Announce Partnership⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Most private trackers don’t allow a shared VPN like Mullvad anyway. Some do but most don’t.
