- Comment on conflicted about my coworkers' overpunctuality 1 day ago:
It’s daily 5 minutes, but it sums up to an hour every 3 weeks (assuming a 5 days work week).
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 1 week ago:
They do it since quite some time now, right?
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 1 week ago:
Just because the evidence is not to your liking it doesn’t mean there is not any evidence.
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 1 week ago:
Studies on whether dark mode and other blue light filtering solutions work to mitigate blue light exposure are inconclusive. However, it seems dark mode is more likely to affect sleep rhythm than eye strain.
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 1 week ago:
Except it doesn’t.
- Comment on Amazon shuts down Chime, its Zoom alternative 1 week ago:
I have two questions … Zoom is still a thing? Amazon had a Zoom alternative?
- Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 1 week ago:
- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 1 week ago:
but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.
NPM is pretty agnostic. If it receives a request for a specific address and port combination it just forwards the traffic to another specific address and port combination. This can be a docker container, but also can be a physical machine or any random URL.
It also has Let’s Encrypt included (but that should be a no-brainer).
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 2 weeks ago:
I run my website as static site from within a Docker container, I wonder how I would get the information about the other containers into that site.
Do you directly serve that site from the host or do you run the script and write something in a volume the site has read access to or bind a file?
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 2 weeks ago:
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Because I don’t like software getting in my way I just cobbled together some HTML and CSS and call it a day.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 3 weeks ago:
Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.
They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.
But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.
@fikran@lemm.ee, maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 3 weeks ago:
So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?
- Comment on Google Maps will rename Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America in the U.S.. However, users in Mexico will see “Gulf of Mexico,” and the rest of its 1 billion monthly users will see both names. 4 weeks ago:
So, they discovered the concept of local names.
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 5 weeks ago:
this doesn’t affect Blu-ray movies.
Yet.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says Meta will lay off more ‘low-performers’ 1 month ago:
Lay off a minimum of 50% and then go the same route als this other billionaire’s social media platform.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 2 months ago:
Venture capital and crypto money do not last forever and they need to maintain and run a for-profit corporation.
The question is not IF they will sell some soft of “pro accounts” and have advertising, the question is only WHEN they will have it. My guess is before Q3/2025.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 3 months ago:
losing all your comments and posts history
They are not lost, they are still there
Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.
Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging
That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 3 months ago:
Except the things I mentioned.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 3 months ago:
Migrating or moving an account is not part of ActivityPub. Mastodon extended the protocol to have a
moveactivity.Unless Lemmy devs come up with something similar and extend the protocol, there is no way to properly move/migrate the account to another instance. The current solution is to create a new account on your desired instance and then export the data on your old instance and import it on your new instance and leave a note in your bio for old instance/account[^1]
Start here for details on this. According to the devs this would be nice to have but is of very low priority.
[^1]: ignoring the fact that you need to re-subscruibe to communities with manual approval and losing all your comments and posts history as well as all private messaging history and contacts.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 months ago:
Yeah. While I can dockerize those applications, all I checked out lack modern features and concepts/designs. It all feels heavily outdated technology-wise.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 months ago:
federated blog
I wonder what federated blog (or publishing platform) isn’t stuck in pre-Docker era, though.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 months ago:
You can run those as single-user instances or with approval of users so you can use those instances for your family and/or friends only.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 months ago:
The usual suspects: Mastodon (or mastodon-compatible servers like GoToSocial), PeerTube, Pixelfed, etc.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 months ago:
I am disappointed …
- Comment on What are good harddrives to use with serves 5 months ago:
Absolutely. They’re advertised for being used in datecenters, so I assume noise optimization wasn’t a concern for Seagate when creating those drives.
- Comment on What are good harddrives to use with serves 5 months ago:
Sorry, I can’t hear you under my enormous piles of money! 🙃
But yeah. You should do an SSD-only setup if this is within your budget. I assume that for most of us selfhosting is just some soft of hobby. If you’re willing to spend money on the latest and cooles tech: do it. If not, then it’s fine, too.
- Comment on What are good harddrives to use with serves 5 months ago:
Okay, so … then maybe really look into the Seagate Exos drives. 20 TB should be pretty much fine for most selfhosting adventures.
- Comment on What are good harddrives to use with serves 5 months ago:
I’m looking for something from 4TB upwards.
If you say “harddrive” … do you mean actual harddrives or are you using it synonymous with “storage”? If you really talk about actual harddrives, it’s hard to even find datacenter/server harddrives below 4 TB. Usually server HDDs start with 8 or 12 TB. You can even find HDDs with 20 TB - Seagate Exos series for example, starting at around 360 Euros (ca. 400 USD).
If you’re in for a general storage, preferably SSD, that’s another issue. There is the Samsung 870 QVO (8 TB) SSD that is often advertised as “datacenter SSD” (so I assume it would run well in a server that is active 24/7), but it is currently available with a maximum of 8 TB. The 870 QVO is at ca. 70 Euros per terabyte (ca. 77 USD) which, in my experience, is the current price range for SSDs. So it has a high price seen from the outside but it’s actually fine. It’s also a one-time investment.
For selfhosting I’d go with an SSD-only setup.
do any have particularly good or bad reputation?
From personal experience I’d say, stick with the “larger” brands like Samsung or Seagate.
- Comment on Selfhosted chat service 5 months ago:
Use XMPP. Thanks to Let’s Encrypt being implemented in basically every reverse proxy, setting it up is a matter of seconds.
