really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed

Yeah, I need something to collaborate with my partner in realtime. We’ve got a hacky setup in Obsidian using dataview to join separate notes to a read-only one, so we don’t have collisions, but I would love something better.
- Comment on Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes 2 months ago:
As soon as one of these Obsidian alternatives has real-time collaboration and a mobile interface, I’m ready to switch.

- Comment on FOSS Alternative to Chromecast? 3 months ago:
Your best bet is to just avoid the need altogether. I use an nvidia shield with clipious, smarttube, and jellyfin. There is a qobuz app that is okay and a USB Media Player Pro that is pretty bad. I haven’t tried any apps for subsonic streaming.
I’d bet there is a tidal app, but I think tidal also integrates with Plex?
For when I want to “cast” a random video file, I use VLC on my PC and on my shield to stream to the TV, and it works well enough.
I haven’t found a good solution to have similar functionality as Google cast for other people to use, but none of my guests have ever been upset that it wasn’t available.
- Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned 4 months ago:
It does, but for the same reason as what happened to OP, it’s best to separate DNS from domain registrar.
- Comment on Github advplyr/audiobookshelf v2.11.0 4 months ago:
Thanks. I don’t generally listen to audio books, so what I’m really looking for is a self-hosted solution for podcast syncing that works better than gpodder while keeping feature parity with AntennaPod on my phone. It sucks that ABS is so close to that but decided to not go the last 10% of the way. I’m sure they have a good reason.
- Comment on Github advplyr/audiobookshelf v2.11.0 4 months ago:
When I played around with ABS over a year ago, they said there were no plans to add auto-downloading of podcast episodes to your phone or auto-queueing of new episodes, so I dropped it and haven’t tried it since. Is this still the case?
- Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned 4 months ago:
That’s definitely a nice solution, but I have not had good luck with free VPS providers keeping the lights on. It would likely cost money on the order of $5 to $10 per month, so it is a different class of solution.
- Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned 4 months ago:
Sounds good. Better free DNS option with API support?
- Comment on PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned 4 months ago:
Porkbun + cloudflare DNS + ddclient
- Comment on What Calendar and To Do solution do you recommend? 6 months ago:
I currently use nextcloud + todo.txt
I don’t have my todos in my calendar (I think that may be what you’re asking for?), but both are solid systems.
I sync my todo.txt files via nextcloud. I use sleek on my desktop and ntodotxt on my phone.
- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 6 months ago:
Also, notifications. I’m a fairly forgetful person, so I set up notifications to let me know if I left windows open or devices on before I go to bed or leave for work.
- Comment on Port forward to different IP based on destination address in opnsense 7 months ago:
Like the other commenter said, that is correct. For SSH, I set up a VM as my SSH bastion or jump host. I connect to that, and the SSH from that to any other machine on the network.
- Comment on Port forward to different IP based on destination address in opnsense 7 months ago:
you need a reverse proxy.
- Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? 8 months ago:
In the process of moving all my stuff to porkbun as well. It’s the best.
- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 8 months ago:
It can work on CPU alone, but allows for GPU hardware acceleration.
- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 8 months ago:
I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.
I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.
- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 8 months ago:
I’ll have to double check, but I came from a B450 board. It definitely allowed me to run my RAM at a higher XMP profile (4x 3200MHz), and it has way better IOMMU groups. Each PCIe device gets its own group, so they can all be passed to different VMs.
- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 8 months ago:
I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It’s a fantastic board at that price.
- Comment on What does your current setup look like? 8 months ago:
The same thing happened to me when I first tried to go there, but it’s fine now.

- Comment on I hate to ask, but help me spec a build please 8 months ago:
If that’s the case, then just set up a pipeline to pre-transcode your 4k content to 1080p, so your server doesn’t have to handle that on the fly.
- Comment on Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance 9 months ago:
ICANN is certainly not perfect, but there is a difference between the automatic control that countries have over their ccTLD and the control they have through ICANN.
- Comment on Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance 9 months ago:
The problem is who controls them. The government of each country can decide at any moment that they want to take control of their TLD and remove any sites that they don’t like. It’s just not good practice if you want your site to stick around.
- Comment on Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance 9 months ago:
Oh I’m fully aware haha, and the article is on a CO site. At the time I made my account, lemmy.ml seemed to be the best option, even with the poor TLD choice.

- Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS? 9 months ago:
I have a lot of services. I use Ansible to manage many of them, so they’re all in one VM. I use Home Assistant, which works best when installed as a whole VM or on bare metal. For the remaining services that I have yet to set up with Ansible, I keep the services that need the GPU on one VM, and everything else on another. Finally, I have an LXC container that is my SSH entrypoint and Ansible management system.
I could technically use TrueNAS Scale as a hypervisor for all this, but Proxmox has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a better hypervisor. I could use Proxmox for ZFS and shares, but TrueNAS has has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a much better NAS, so I virtualize it.
- Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS? 9 months ago:
If you’re using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.
- Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS? 9 months ago:
It’s very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it’s plug-and-play.
