• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migrating communities in the wake of the lemm.ee shutdown⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One that stands out to me are the optional notes above the comment box for each community.

  On piefed.social I’ve used this to put a note on every beehaw.org community about the ‘good vibes only’ nature of that instance and one community on lemmy.ml has a note about the unusual mostly-unwritten moderation policies employed there.

  I like this idea, because it would serve as a last second warning to me(and others) that I might be at risk of participating with tankies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve certainly seen some toxic .ee users which jives with your theory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use apps on my phone, but have no clue how to troubleshoot them. I have programs on my computer that I hardly know how to use, let alone know the inner workings of. How is running things in Docker any different? Why put down people who have an interest in running things themselves?

  I know you’re just trying to answer the above question of “why do it the hard way”, but it struck me as a little condescending. Sorry if I’m reading too much into it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. “service.myduckdns.com” or whatever.

  Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you’ll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.

  When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you’ll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.

  So yes, you have it right.

  Also forward port 80.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.

  For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I’ve never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.

  I’ve had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I’m ok with that, but you might feel differently.

  This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. If it was something that I’d need to refer to later I might go the photo route, but since it’s all temporary reference I just toss it in the trash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do for my job, where I need to quickly jot down important information. The info I jot down is temporary in nature, and after a particular “job” (I might have a few jobs in a day), the info is useless.

  Paper and pen is great because it’s fast, custom, doesn’t take up screen space, and you don’t have to click buttons to throw it away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any community for Linux for noobs ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).

  Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, end up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.

  They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.

  By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any community for Linux for noobs ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  !linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted PDF manager?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For remote access, wireguard is great. You can access stuff via their internal addresses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the few podcasts I listen to sometimes. Wishing them well and thanks for all of the hard work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t need backlight to type words, but love backlit keys for symbols, brightness keys, volume keys, function keys, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toilet seat detects atrial fibrillation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then “enter element zapper mode” (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toilet seat detects atrial fibrillation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it started as a joke.

  “Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”

  “The toilet!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toilet seat detects atrial fibrillation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DockGE released 1.5.0⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a fan of Dockge. Nice simplicity, easy to update container stacks, etc. etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

  RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

  I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

  Chinstrap Linux haha. It’s like Fedora, but for a totally different demographic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know Gentoo was named after a penguin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hina releases sodium-ion battery solution for commercial cars, able to be fully charged in 25 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They can be charged below 0*C, too. No need to redirect lots of current to heating the batteries during charging like with Lithium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Release v1.130.0 · immich-app/immich⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good news, they just released v1.130.1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wanderer v0.15.1 -⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally figured out how to get the terrain stuff going on my Wanderer. Super cool!

  Now I’m trying to figure out my future workflow… can you shed some light on it?

  Currently everything I upload is its own “Trail”. This goes for the Strava integration, as well as me just uploading a GPS track.

  Trails are nice because they all show up on the Map, making a cool overview of everything I’ve done. Obviously over time this might bog down the system when viewing the map.

  Trails aren’t included in the statistics, which is a bummer.

  So, I played around with moving each of my activities into broader “trails”, based on where the activity took place. I think that’s probably how Wanderer is supposed to be used, because when I move activities from being a “Trail” to being a “Summit”, they are counted in the statistics.

  The only downside to that is they don’t appear on the map, unless you click the specific Summit.

  So, basically, my question is – should I just accept the fact that I should move everything into being a Summit, so I can enjoy the statistics?

  Thanks!

  The homepage just has recently added devices. Use the menu to browse by device type.

  The Tasmota firmware documentation has a decent list, but it’s limited to devices that are known to be flash-able so you can install custom firmware on them. templates.blakadder.com

  Are you thinking of Lemmy? OP had it on their Matrix chat server.

  I’m the one who files the most bug reports on github under a different name. Our instance runs on LemmyScheduler, so thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used Portainer for a while and still like it for checking out networking stuff, but try out Dockge! It’s more open sourcey and basic, but makes updating easier.

  Its a satirical response to the first post, based on the timestamp.
