they haven’t published binaries either though
- Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale? 1 day ago:
vibecoding and security don’t pair well.
- Comment on Observability 1 day ago:
Prometheus is mostly for regularly collected statistics and state. what would you recommend for statistics that are only collected when something happens? stats that aren’t available on schedule. as an example, take UPS state changes to battery mode or overvoltage mode. Prometheus can’t collect them when they are short lived.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 5 days ago:
also: I did not realize until now, and also it might just he a coincidence, but it looks like as if your max swap usage with plenty of cached memory would be 10% of your RAM. I wonder if it would top out at half of that with a swappiness setting of 5. if you try it, load back all your swapped memory first.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 5 days ago:
cache is good, but you shouldn’t have that much swap usage with that overall memory utilization. 8t seems the kernel is making a decision to move a significant amount of memory to swap to have just a little bit more cache. that could make sense in some situations, especially with lots of RAM and a slow disk that is frequently accessed… but probably not on your system. I see you have already reduced swappiness to 10, so maybe all that was snapped out is really rarely used memory, but I wouldn’t want even that on an SSD so you could try setting swappiness to 0. that way it should only use the swap when there is no more cache to free, I think, but the behaviour of this sysctl was not always clear like that.
- Comment on Should I bridge Whatsapp on Matrix? (Or alternatives to get on Whatsapp) 2 weeks ago:
I’m happy enough we got on a platform that is at the very least e2ee
that’s mostly just a myth. tbh I would prefer imessage over whatsapp, if I could run an imessage bridge.
- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 3 weeks ago:
well, that’s true, the reason for that is battery efficiency. the chat client does not need to be awaken constantly to receive notifications, a lightweight app can do that which will wake up the chat client when needed. fewer long term network connections, lower idle memory usage, faster routines handling the bare minimum
- Comment on I am selfhosting Active Matrix Rooms which is helping users find activity in the matrix network 3 weeks ago:
afaik I2P was forked from Freenet. I wonder what makes that big of a difference in performance.
- Comment on A visual guide showing how to install GoToSocial via YunoHost 4 weeks ago:
and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification?
- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 4 weeks ago:
and I routinely get key errors
did you try reporting them? they are watching for reports, and they are making automated tests for all cases they receive. you should probably both open an issue in the client repo, and then use the “report a problem” button in the client and paste the github issue link. before you send the report open the chat with the decryption error, or try to reproduce it with a new message if you can, so that they can get better logs. probably also toggle on the “contact me”.
if you get a new message that can’t be decrypted, send a report from the client soon. don’t need to open a different issue if you don’t want.
- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 4 weeks ago:
But it also requires a third party for push service
not necessarily, you can host ntfy or something else yourself too
- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 4 weeks ago:
molly has support for unifiedpush, the new messagd ping does not need togo through google. it also has better multi device support, and is available through f-droid with their own repo. location sharing uses osm instead of google maps, but of course signal users will still hand over your shared location data to google
- Comment on [AIT] paperless-ngx 3.0.0 4 weeks ago:
tbh it already had automatization features

and that’s why you never ever use the latest tag, just below your comment: lemmy.ml/comment/26842059
- Comment on What do you do with your old iPad mini? 4 weeks ago:
what do you use for recipes? plain files? grocy? something else?
- Comment on what's the simple way to map services to subdomains instead of specifying the port number? 5 weeks ago:
you need to subscribe for a domain name for that
- Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview 1 month ago:
Didn’t a major browser remove JXL support after it was added?
yes, chrome, a few years ago. google wanted to push its own inferior format
I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn’t support any modern formats.
that’s possible it does not use the system libraries for that. but the system file manager and system gallery app should support it, and anything that uses the same libs
- Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview 1 month ago:
oh so it’s not a bug but a design decision. I don’t know whether that’s better or worse. maybe it could be patched…
- Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview 1 month ago:
weird, voyager with android 14 here, and I can see the AVIF image
- Comment on Immich v3.0.0 is out, with Workflows preview 1 month ago:
At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser,
there’s a new push to support JPEG-XL in Firefox. it got a labs toggle recently so you can enable it for yourself. I think chrome has done something too.
and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format comes close to this.
what OS do you use? KDE flavoured linux handles it fine. probably not KDE specific though.

I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.
that’s a pretty bad flaw. mounts could disappear for many reasons, not only NFS but any kind of mount.

what kind of place has those trash bins?
- Comment on Vaultwarden while allowing family emergency access 1 month ago:
not easy sync. possibility of sync conflicts make sync hard.
- Comment on Vaultwarden while allowing family emergency access 1 month ago:
bitwarden logs me out and some of my friends once or twice every year. It’s not reliable for that. I’m pretty sure there’s an undocumented logout trigger in the code somewhere
- Comment on PRISM - a self-hosted OSINT platform with a real-time dashboard 2 months ago:
Your targets never leave your PC
how can that be true if the whole thing relies on sending the infos to the API providers?
- Comment on Transparent Data Tiering on Linux: Why I chose fanotify over FUSE for HuskHoard 2 months ago:
Oh I wanted to make something like this for quite some time! Thank you!
- Comment on Transparent Data Tiering on Linux: Why I chose fanotify over FUSE for HuskHoard 2 months ago:
doesn’t bcache use its own partition type? so an existing partition cannot be used, and so it cannot benefit from compression that certain filesystems could provide.

I also recommend ruining windows
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 2 months ago:
normal procedure? where exactly have you seen that be done? for that every user would have to register a developer account and fumble with an API key
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 months ago:
if you don’t want replies, just don’t post. everyone will be better off than if you are deleting posts. actually it’s the easiest thing to do.
that being said. are you guilty of deleting your posts after they had discussions? because if so, I’ll just block you because you are taking away value from the community, not adding to it
