  Let’s hope it sticks when Microsoft backs up the money truck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha. Came to say exactly this. Verbatim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is like LLMs are massively overhyped and can't even do half the things its advertised...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate this timeline

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d encourage learning. The more you understand the better you can control your data and maintain your services. You don’t need to be an expert but I’d encourage working towards relying less on gpt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wg-easy is what you want

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently fighting with my OliveTin config file. I added a simple new config for a button action and ylthe whole thing just shit the bed. Now OliveTin won’t load at all. Even after removing the new config. Stupid yaml.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Audiobookshelf for sure. It handles audiobooks fabulously, and it also does handle ebooks.

  I use it to manage my eBook library, but not as the reader. You can set up a “send to ereader” option to email the ebooks to your reader of choice. So I just shoot them off to my pocketbook ereader when I want to read one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recs: Calendar and Contacts?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another for radicale. Been using it for years now. Its great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. luks encrypted drive in my work locker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now I sneaker net it. I stash a luks encrypted drive in my locker at work and bring it home once a week or so to update the backup.

  At some point I’m going to set up a RPI at a friend’s house, but that’s down the road a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I self host vaultwarden and its great. Its an easy self host, and in my experience, it has never gone down on me.

  That being said, my experience is anecdotal. If you do go the vaultwarden route, realize that your vault is still accessible on your devices (phone, whatever) even if your server goes down, or if you just lose network connectivity. They hold local (encrypted at rest) copies of your vault that are periodically updated.

  Additionally, regardless of the route you take you should absolutely be practicing a good 3-2-1 backup strategy with your password vault, as with any other data you value.

  Karakeep might work for you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did the pope even thank him for showing up to his funeral???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll do this and they STILL only answer the first question

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[help] Cheap SSDs for storage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an additional warning probably best to avoid amazon because counterfeits are just dumped in the bin with the actual mfr stuff and you could get burned there too. Buy from B&H or some other vendor that doesn’t have this practice

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

  I’ve been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It’s been a lot of fun. I’m currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.

  The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there’s multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden weapon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  WAT?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rsync and NFS for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A self-hosted URL shortener: Shlink - A Docker Quick-Start Guide⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally fair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  100% this. Why would I go back to another centralized corpo line must go up service that will inevitably enshittify when we got lemmy right here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A self-hosted URL shortener: Shlink - A Docker Quick-Start Guide⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another great option is Yourls. I’ve been using it for years and it’s been fabulous

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out [OliveTin] (www.olivetin.app). I use it in a similar fashion to track when I take my daily meds and for other personal health tracking.

  It’s a simple webapp that fires off shell scripts on your server. I store my data as CSV, but you can tailor the scripts to store and retrieve/present your data however you’d like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Careful with that you though. I thought the same thing but someone pointed out in another thread that depending on your system, it may update the firmware over USB when you do system updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit. I didn’t even think of that. I’m using fedora. Tomorrow I’ll be blocking firmware updates for the printer. Thank you for pointing that out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I’ve got an Brother laser that has no network connectivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also been using namecheap for years with no complaints. Boring and dependable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been working on some bash scripts to help manage my media files. I’ve been slowly working on learning more bash and I’m pretty pleased with my progress. After I finish this bash book I’m reading (can’t remember the title atm), I think I’m gonna jump into awk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Email provider for home server alerts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  PurelyMail is what I use. It’s been great so far. I’ve been using it for over a year for this exact use case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does the 3-2-1 rule look like for you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve a nightly cronjob that runs backup using rsync for my local, and an external HDD that I stash in my work locker that I bring home once a week or so to connect to the server, run a backup script (more rsync), then take it back to work. It’s not super sophisticated, but it works, and I have tested and restored from both the local and offsite backups.
