• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Experience with IONOS?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use ionos since 10 years and I‘m very happy, but only for webhosting stuff. The VPS Services I get from Hetzner and I havent really tested them.

  I did have a meeting with IONOS this week though about it and I‘m positive about the UI for new vps owners since its quite easy to grasp but I dont think they’re a better option than hetzner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garage is an open source S3-compatible object storage cluster designed for self hosting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m currently trying to bring up a rather complicated setup using garage. Garage on Homeserver behind firewall, vpn relay, peertube and other s3 compatible services on a vps. Garage works rather weill, the vpn is giving me a hard time though. Can recommend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Admin's Guide to Fixing PeerTube - We Distribute⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Peertube is essentially mastodon or lemmy with videos. Its trivial to set up compared to the other two. I run a private instance so I cant talk about the rate of issues but from an experienced admin perspective, its no more of a problem to set up and run than the others.

  But I too think that long term it would be great to have more user friendly setups as to enable less experienced folks to host it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monolithic setup vs dedicated devices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having as much on one machine as possible has efficiency and maintenance benefits since you have less machines to configure. The drawback is that multiple services can add up peak demands and run the machine oom which you can either solve by leaving extra headroom or make them redundant imo.

  Someone with more experience than me might have other ideas to add.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It really doesnt matter much imo. The obvious best choice here would be three copies on three media in three locations. You can also argue for more. It depends on your threat model. If you have an offsite backup that is reachable from the host machine, a ransomware attack can still devastate you. I have therefore made deaddrops for backups so no machine or user has access to all of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My general rule with backups is the standard you pretty much hear everywhere: 3-2-1

  3 copies of every file you value 2 different media 1 off site

  For example, you can have two copies on one drive and a third in the cloud. That way you prevent accidental deletion, bit rot and house fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is exactly how the real world works. Harm has to be identified to suggest solutions. Otherwise you‘re becoming the helicopter parent that denies their kid every opportunity to learn and cause allergies and other bad outcomes. Translated back to the fediverse: it is great the way it is and improvements are always encouraged. We have much bigger and more pressing issues. This is not it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitch-like service for the fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can. Source: I run an instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federation is kicking my butt!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah! Nice. I can only encourage you to do so. It is in fact quite a bit of work but I‘m sure its both going to be easier every day and depending on your skillset and setup, you’ll probably have it a lot easier than me. I have like 13 docker stacks atm. only on my vps and another 10 or so on my homeserver. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federation is kicking my butt!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad you asked. Yes, mostly. Some things are still janky but most of it works. Whats your setup?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federation is kicking my butt!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the suggestion. Will check it out! :)

  Here it is! Thanks again for offering your help.

  Very cool! I‘ll post the configs as soon as I am on my computer! Thank you for offering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peertube appears to have doubled their MAU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m thinking of hosting a peertube instance just for funzies. It seems like an awesome thing. I just dont „get“ it as much as I get mastodon, lemmy and matrix. Something about the discovery process does not click with me yet. Is anyone making an ios (i know) app soon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for elaborating a bit. I opted against the password app since I wanted to diversify services. My nextcloud is a bit finnicky at times and wants to be updated before you can proceed with stuff. Having no access to my passwords in that moment would be harsh. So I opted for vaultwarden and it even has firefox integration, cli integration and a desktop app for linux (dunno about windows, honestly). I‘m not sure if it was a bad idea to put NC‘s database on spinning discs though. Maybe that was stupid.

  As you can see, very much a WIP as well. I feel like we need some kind of place to accumulate iCloud -> NC expats. A lot of good could be done there.

  I‘m on matrix as well but i‘m not proficient yet. My wife is still on whatsapp so I need to be patient. We have gotten rid of twitter and reddit which I count as a win.

  What other projects do you have? Feel free to send me a dm with your matrix username if you want to keep in touch about this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m also migrating from iCloud (to NC among other things) and its been slow to say the least. Things I struggle with:

  • setting up photo alternative with face recognition (recognition app is okayish but not as strong as I‘d like)
  • getting whatsapp to somehow backup outside of iCloud
  • getting my passwords out of iCloud (you need a mac for that) into vaultwarden
  • NC being quite slow now that a couple apps and mid 5 digits of photos are in there, will try memcache soonish

  For those who don’t know NC, these things are 1/10 of the stuff that NC is actually good at imo.

  How is your experience so far?

  NV got me in an aggro loop and kept me from finishing the game. Worst experience yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nyrna - a Linux/Windows tool to suspend/resume games and applications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the tipp! Currently, I have a bit of a problem with hibernation. My proprietary gpu driver sends me to blackscreen and forces me to hard reboot. So that I might need to fix first. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nyrna - a Linux/Windows tool to suspend/resume games and applications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! Will do!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nyrna - a Linux/Windows tool to suspend/resume games and applications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for clearing that up. Thanks for sharing then. Maybe someone else knows this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nyrna - a Linux/Windows tool to suspend/resume games and applications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently found out that a game I played froze when my pc went into auto suspend. Does this help with it too? Thanks for making this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Home Server software stack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nextcloud (or docker for that matter) are rather complex.

  Permission problems are every day life in linux, you always have to sudo or - if you change that - someone else can vaporize your server and steal all your data. Linux is infinitely more secure because it is a nightmare to use casually with a complex setup. Some windows script kiddie is gonna die inside your directories and never be found again.

  Writing a script that you need to make executable first? Chowning files that are made by docker? Having to use a specific user inside docker (in case of nextcloud especially)?

  All these things are incredibly frustrating but given the sheer complexity of nextcloud, it’s actually working rather good imo. So does linux.

  I‘m not shitting on linux, docker or nc. I love them all but saying they’re not working just says they’re not plug and play yet. Other examples: most things snap are a mystery for me. Freakin permissions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Browsers compared⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Very good idea! Be the change you wanna see and fork firefox right now! :) or build something else entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This would be insanely good. Especially in combination. Combine all fediverse communities on lemmy and view all crossposts as one for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The games industry sucks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense I guess. Thanks for elaborating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The games industry sucks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any tech co-ops or 100% employee owned companies? Could be a system forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The games industry sucks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought minecraft when it was 10$ I believe. Pretty sure it was still played in the browser then.

  I‘m down for this type of indie game. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I got robbed of my first kernel contribution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for explaining. This helps me understand both his and this here situation.

  First of all, I‘m totally ok with it being absurd. It was my impression that this person has been wronged and should be appropriately compensated for their (shit ton of) work. From the text, it seemed like there is a way to get this compensation (in the form of recognition of some sort).

  I‘m totally fine with being told that he misrepresented the situation and he‘s more going off a principle here which would never be enforceable. If there were such a „standard“ for recognition for kernel controbution, one could definitely try to enforce it.

  In general, I have no problem with standing corrected. What I do have a problem with is the way people in IT centric communities on lemmy (and reddit) behave in general.

  Obviously you were kind enough to explain instead and without being violent or abusive. I highly respect that. Thanks again.
