This has been me experience. I couldn’t even get logged in to Fusion.
- Comment on Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services? 4 days ago:
I use dashboards pretty often. Considering I’m in America, I use them just about any time I go anywhere, as nearly all automobiles have them.

You can also get obsidian to sync using the guide here: www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/GegPIcBjFg. It’s really good.

Least pretentious Lemmy user.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 week ago:
I was wondering if a federated alternative existed, neat. Short form video is not for me, but I’m glad that exists for those that like it.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
One could argue that without Meta’s investments into the technology, we might never get an open specification at all. With something like Valetudo, it wouldn’t exist without the privacy nightmare that is off-the-shelf robot vacuums.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, not looking forwards to being in Meta (or any other massive company)'s database or whatever when a friend or family member wears one of these.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I’m not talking about a Meta made pair of glasses. I would never buy those due to the privacy issues. I’m talking about a potential pair of glasses that are open source, or at least privacy focused, and don’t phone home.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I’d want them to use a local database that you’ve created. After you’ve met someone, the glasses could be like “remember this person?” and you could choose to save them or not, or something like that.
- Comment on Spotify will now let free users pick and play tracks | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
No, you could tap shuffle on an album-by-album basis, or on a Playlist with like 10+ tracks or something.
- Comment on How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary? 1 month ago:
I’d second the fact that it’s really difficult to do it, and that you genuinely need to enjoy the process. More likely than not, you won’t “make it” and you’ll just be doing it as a hobby. Though, more than anything, you just need to do it. You might not know what to say today, tomorrow, or next month, but eventually you’ll find a rhythm and know what works for you. There’s no way to find that rhythm if you aren’t making anything.
My source for this is the fact that I’ve been doing YouTube for nearly 2 years now, creating weekly videos. I think they’ve been of pretty good quality for about 14 or so months now. I have just over 500 subs which, while I’m super proud of and thankful for that, isn’t even enough to enable ads on my channel. I also specifically chose a niche that’s a tad easier to stand out in, as the market for gaming videos is so so so saturated and difficult to stand out in, as the barrier for entry is so low.
I don’t mean to discourage, and of course wish you the best of luck, but I do want to share a realistic view on it based on my experiences being a small potato YouTube creator.
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 1 month ago:
What about disabling the shitty anti-cheat or even just enabling it on Linux so I, as a 27yo, can play the damn game?
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 months ago:
I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I’ve still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.
All of that said, I did just check and it’s way more difficult to find now. It’s near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.
- Comment on Photo management - storing friends' photos 2 months ago:
Figured I’d ask here as thought self-hosters would care most about looking after their photos.
Couldn’t be more wrong in my case. I host immich so I don’t have to worry about taking care of my photos. I hate taking care of my photos. I hate organizing them, and almost never go back to look at them anyways. Immich just yeets them onto my NAS and I can use visual search to sometimes find what I’m looking for with nearly zero effort from me.
All of that, to answer your question, I just throw them on Immich and they appear on the timeline in roughly the correct spot. I also will often share a link, asking friends and family to upload to my Immich server.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 months ago:
Occasionally a video I like will get to trending and I’ll question my taste in media.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 months ago:
Use browser plug-ins and revanced.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 2 months ago:
I’m not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 months ago:
Host both. Keep plex up for your gma, Jellyfin for everyone else. Tbh Jellyfin is also pretty intuitive.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 2 months ago:
He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 3 months ago:
I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 3 months ago:
It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.
As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.

- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 months ago:
Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 3 months ago:
Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 months ago:
Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this
Sweet sweet irony.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 months ago:
If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?
Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.
Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 3 months ago:
My speakers at home hum due to my Logitech Powerplay Matt, even with a ground loop isolator. It sucks. I was kinda surprised that it wasn’t an issue with this setup.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 4 months ago:
I understand what you’re saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing contribution?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 4 months ago:
By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?
