  What's yours look like?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simplify home hardware for selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I've been trying to figure out, so I'm glad you did it. I have a Synology too and I've outgrown it, but building my own server scratch is daunting so I just wanted to hook a DAS up to a mini PC and call it good. But there were a lot of people online saying it was a bad idea.

  Same! I was one of the early migrants just before the mass migration, having seen the writing on the wall and having already joined Mastodon. It was a great time initially, a bit of "you're new? okay, I've figured a few things out, try this". We caught Ernest by surprise because he was only making a proof of concept to offer an alternative to Lemmy. And then we showed up in droves. But he did his best, and while it was bumpy, it was still an overall great experience, much like the early days of Reddit, pre-Digg.

  I still like the kbin-style instances over Lemmy, but yeah, it's not quite the same any more. That said, still preferable to Reddit these days.

  Thank you, Ernest. Hope you're recovering wherever you are.

  I did the notification thing. If the outdoor temperature is lower than my indoor temperature and above 17° and the humidity is under 60% and the windows are closed, it sends me a notification to open them.

  Same if the outdoor temps get above 24° and the windows are still open, it reminds me to close them.

  I love the integrations with immich and owntracks, as well as having an OIDC login. What kind of resources does this need for a server?

  Damn, someone beat me to it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that's the part I'm having trouble with. Can't decide on something serious, easy to communicate and that I like. Definitely a me problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a domain and an email address through it, but my problem is I can't find a domain name I like enough to both keep and give out to others as a long term contact point. The one I have right now is silly, and not easy to communicate over the phone.

  It's a me problem, but if I ever figure out something I'm will to keep and is available, that's the goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'll probably go with one of the other roms on an older phone or possibly one of the Linux phones. It won't be exactly what I want, but it'll be better than their walled garden bullshit. That's precisely why I left Apple way back when.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do it! It's not that bad. Everyone's got different needs, but I switched to fastmail and have been enjoying it.

  Seconded on do it. It's a lot better than it was even a few years ago.

  The Fediverse is "hard" because you have to pick a server. And that's apparently enough to stop normies from going any further.

  I got mine recently in a dxent aized city and while there are plenty of nodes popping up on the map, the local channel is pretty quiet. Is that normal?

  Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tailscale friendly app dashboard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of "service"? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?
