- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 1 month ago:
I have hosted a wordpress site on my unraid box before, but ended up moving it to a VPS instead. I ended up moving it primarily because a VPS is just going to have more uptime since I end up tinkering around with my homelab too often. So, any service that I expect other people to use, I often end up moving it to a VPS (mostly wikis for different things). The one exception to that is anything related to media delivery (plex, jellyfin, *arr stack), because I don’t want to make that as publicly accessible and it needs close integration with the storage array in unraid.
- Comment on Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user? 2 months ago:
I think that user donations are easier when an instance has a good focus. There are some other instances I can think of where the donation model has been enough to cover things. In addition to feddit.dk and beehaw, an instance I use most of the time, ani.social, is more than covered by donations last I checked. It looks like @hitagi@ani.social even took away the donate link in the sidebar.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 3 months ago:
Yeah, spoiler tags are the one big feature that is missing. There are also some minor things on the moderation side that aren’t there. For example, admin accounts don’t have a full list of options in the moderation menu.
- Comment on Why do so many people use NGINX? 3 months ago:
Some good answers in here already. It boils down to a couple points for me:
- Back when I started selfhosting, it was either nginx or apache, and I found nginx better and easier to set up
- All the nginx knowledge I learned years ago still works just the same as it did back then, so why potentially mess things up by switching if it all still works
- Basically every project has an example nginx config for reference, that can’t be said about other proxies
- It is easier to find support online for edge cases that might pop up with nginx due to the ubiquity of its use and years of history
- Comment on Intel breaks silence on 13th and 14th-gen Raptor Lake desktop CPU instability issues 3 months ago:
Intel confirmed on reddit that oxidation did impact some chips.
More than one thing can be wrong at the same time, so everybody can be right!
- Comment on Experience with IONOS? 4 months ago:
I didn’t have a VPS with them, but long ago I had a couple domains through them. One of them had an issue with the auto-renewal and I never got a notification of any kind, only finding out when they had taken ownership of the domain, advertising it for sale. Then they wanted some way, way higher amount of money for me to buy it back. So, I don’t have any domains with them any more.
This was years and years ago though, so they might be better now.
- Comment on Shoko Server not recognizing any anime 4 months ago:
I use Sonarr, but it does mess up sometimes for shows even when you mark it as an anime to use absolute numbering. It most often happens with older shows that have lots of OVAs that are sometimes listed as episodes and sometimes listed as specials, depending on the database. So, if you are having Sonarr manage your downloads, then it can grab the wrong episode if it’s database (I think TVDB) and the release (usually using MAL numbering) disagree.
- Comment on Shoko Server not recognizing any anime 4 months ago:
I don’t have a solution for you, but I will be watching this thread. Currently, I use Sonarr for library organization, but it doesn’t always work well with anime due to title differences and differences between how seasons/specials are numbered in different databases. So, Shoko was on my radar to try out at some point since it uses anidb.
- Comment on Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers? 4 months ago:
I used to have my docker updates done automatically. However, as the services I used to run just for myself have started to be used by other people (family, friends), I am less tolerant of having things break. So, instead of something like watchtower, I run diun these days. I have it set up to ping me in a discord channel when a docker update is available. Then, I can actually perform the update when I have time and attention to troubleshoot any issues that may come up.
- Comment on Options for equalizing temperature between the basement and the rest of the house in summer? 4 months ago:
My house has a similar issue with a lower level that is perpetually much colder than the upper level. The main way we have somewhat alleviated the problem is by opening/closing registers. In the summer, we close all the registers in the lower level, forcing all the cold air from the HVAC into the upper level, then letting it sink down naturally. Our lower level is still cooler, but it isn’t as stark a difference. Due to the layout of the stairs linking the two levels, a fan is not terribly effective at exchanging a lot of air between the two on its own.
- Comment on [DISC] Kimi wa Yakamashi Tojite yo Kuchi o! - Chapters 43-43.5 6 months ago:
They really got expressive with Hiiragi’s art this chapter. I don’t think any of her friends are even really that surprised by the revelation that she likes Taiyou. However, I didn’t see Taiyou being arranged a marriage coming. It feels a bit archaic these days, even in manga.
- Comment on Tensei Shitara Dai Nana Ouji Dattanode, Kimamani Majutsu wo Kiwamemasu • I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability - Episode 4 discussion 6 months ago:
The thread wasn’t made for this one because there weren’t any comments on the episode 3 thread. Then, a user requested that rikka make a thread for this episode via pm today. I don’t know why they haven’t then commented in the thread here, but that is why it was just posted today rather than when it aired.
- Comment on [DISC] Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta - Chapter 110 [END] 6 months ago:
Yep, that was great. I would have loved for this series to continue on, but the ending was satisfying. I would rather the author end it like this than drag something out for the sake of keeping a popular series going. Hopefully we get a couple bonus chapters when the tankoubon come out.
- Comment on [DISC] Kaette Kudasai! Akutsu-san - Chapter 173 7 months ago:
Alright, I couldn’t see this post from ani.social yet, so I duplicated it. The good news is that things are catching up again, but it is still about 8 hours behind world. Here is the comment I had originally made on my post:
The author definitely knows what they are doing when you see dialog like this…
- Comment on Is it possible to run Nextcloud and Wordpress on one low-spec server? 1 year ago:
This lines up with my experience. I have nextcloud and wordpress on two different vps’s and just checked their ram usage.
- nextcloud: 468 MB
- wordpress: 120 MB
Caveat to the above is that nextcloud is installed bare metal rather than docker and I have both nextcloud and wordpress set up to use object storage as the back end.
- Comment on CGNAT blocking external access to NAS. Looking to address this plus more. 1 year ago:
My isp doesn’t support ipv6 in my area (Verizon). They claim to be in the process of rolling it out, but it’s been years that they have been saying that, so idk. At least they don’t use CGNAT, so it isn’t a huge deal for me after I set up dynamic DNS.
