  This must have changed with 23.04 or something then, because when I set up my home server a little over a year ago, ZFS as root was not only not a part of the install, but also heavily recommended against as something that could be hacked in. Basically you could do it, but you shouldn’t was my impression. I ended up doing EXT4 as root, then mounted my ZFS storage in my home directory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is my ZFS partition properly setup?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubuntu and many other distros do not come with ZFS support out of the box due to licensing, so it is not recommended to use ZFS for the root filesystem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All of my passwords are in Bitwarden and important ones are shared with my wife who has her own Botwarden and has shared her important passwords back with me. If one of us goes, the other will have access to everything. I don’t (yet) have any descendants to inherit anything of importance, so I’m not worried about anything beyond my passwords so that if something happens to me, my wife can manage all of the accounts for bills, banking, communication, etc.

  If/when I have children, I will likely make a new plan that builds on what I already have, with directions to access my password vault that can be given to my brother and his husband and my parents, should they outlive me and my wife. With my passwords, everything else of import is accessible. Thankfully, my brother is very tech savvy, so if my wife and I both go, I can trust him to be able to log in to everything and pull important media down.

  I feel like Emby, as a for-profit company will eventually go down the same path as Plex.

  Might be that the Roku app is/wasn’t quite up to the same standard as the Android TV one. I also remember not liking how they handled something in their official Android app, but it’s been six months. I honestly don’t remember. I just have a reminder to check it out again next summer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still on Plex because the app experience just isn’t there on Jellyfin yet. It’s close, but switching audio/subtitle tracks is not as intuitive or straightforward as I want yet. I’m thinking it will probably be ready for my server in a year or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new window?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Middle click (or command-click on Mac) will also open in a new tab in basically every browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TTRPG Players and DMs, what's in your self hosted toolbox?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  5e.tools has a plugin for Foundry that lets you pull basically everything from every source into Foundry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best secure router for home use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that the old PC is probably less efficient at a lower clock than an AR based consumer router. You’ll get more performance and features, but it will be more expensive to run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel the actual inflation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I am at,ground beef is more in the $5-6/lb range, as a comparison. We have some dairy farms local so milk is a bit cheaper, but basically everything else is significantly more expensive, especially meat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel the actual inflation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The inflation report that came out today specifically omits fuel and grocery prices because those are “volatile” categories. My grocery bill is double what it was two years ago and has been for six months. I wouldn’t call that volatile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sync for Reddit was one of the more popular Reddit apps on Android. (Maybe even the biggest?) Now that Reddit has stopped being reasonable with their API fees, the developer of Sync has been working on a Lemmy client using the same name. It released a couple days ago.

  Most of the other Lemmy clients on Android are free and open source, but Sync is closed source and will be ad supported unless users pay a $20 one-time fee to remove ads or pay for a subscription to get some additional features. Because Sync is closed source, there’s no way for users to audit what data the app is collecting or sending out.

  Many users are using Sync because it’s familiar and has a high degree of polish and functionality thanks to being a fork of a very well established app. Its popularity, along with the issues I mentioned above have got a vocal portion of the user base railing against the app and another vocal portion of the user base defending it.
