• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Culture no longer exists in our reality today because the actors responsible for it most of it have long been deprived of their livelihood.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it is. Has mostly always been that way, will probably be possible for quite some time.

  Just not for every artist, also like always.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not receiving replies from .world⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, their federation is still a bit hit-and-miss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, well. I only remembered something about a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So what’s the floor here realistically, are they going to lower it to 30 days, then 14, then 2, then 1?

  LE is beta-testing a 7-day validity, IIRC.

  Will we need to log in every morning and expect to refresh every damn site cert we connect to soon?

  No, those are expected or even required to be automated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy (and absolutely not limited to the UK): they don’t see themselves as being part of that social “group”, they see themselves as someone better/above them. An age-old human trait, really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  whereas the other options basically force you to forever use their database-based system and files are terribly organized, so you are forced to use their interface.

  Immich has a “storage templates” section which allows you to choose a folder structure that it will use to store the files in.

  Or go the other way and include your folders as external libraries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chemistry lab safety: gloves or no gloves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what I’m working with, and the scale/volumes. They exist for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would a feminine Doppelbock be named?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bockbier has no relation to a goat/sheep/whatever, even if it’s sometimes used nowadays.

  Also, I doubt that many breweries would try to sell a Bockbier with a female name, there just isn’t enough market for one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kelvin does not use the degree sign. Its simply “x Kelvin”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oechslegrad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  70 to 80 is the usual lower range.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for an all-SSD home server?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s not going to work. You’ll have to at least rank your requirements. Is size more important, or is it the number of RAM slots? Also, what is “enough CPU/Ram”?

  Also also, “unlimited” will only get you unrealistic things like the 10k+ PCI-E SSDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think donations are? No need to do the extra crowdfunding step.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it were possible to travel back in time and manipulate events, we could take a book back in time and publish it before the author historicallt does... as a prank...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Douglas Adams already worked out the situation:

  Lallafa wrote about a girl who had left him and precisely what he thought about that. Long after his death his poems were found and wondered over. News of them spread like morning sunlight. For centuries they illuminated and watered the lives of many people whose lives might otherwise have been darker and dryer. Then, shortly after the invention of time travel, some major correcting fluid manufacturers wondered whether his poems might have been better still if he had had access to say a few words to that effect. They traveled the time waves; they found him. They explained the situation – with some difficulty – to him, and did indeed persuade him. In fact they persuaded him to such effect that he became extremely rich at their hands, and the girl about whom he was otherwise destined to write with such precision never got around to leaving him, and in fact they moved out of the forest to a rather nice pad in town and he frequently commuted to the future to do talk shows, on which he sparkled wittily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spamming that again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Powdertoy: FOSS falling sand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t, really. Completely different type of game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It grew from a nice Owncloud fork into a do-it-all groupware solution by adding on more and more things without really improving the basis. Each version the performance gets a little worse, syncing gets stuck more often, etc.

  Opencloud looks or at least looked good as it started out as an Owncloud Infinite Scale fork, but if course they’re adding on more and more groupware stuff without improving the core first. Maybe we’re doomed to witness the same circle with each solution, who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently working on moving the more family-relevant services to OIDC-based login via Pocket ID passkeys so I can put my parents on them.

  Also, still on the lookout for a good Nextcloud replacement. Even Opencloud displays the first signs of feature creep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do crew have cabins below decks on short-distance ferries?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Short-haul is usually shift-based, work your time and go home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing besides a mirror makes sense with only 2 storage bays. The overhead would only increase for absolutely no gain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your only choice would be a mirror, as you only have two bays. RAIDZ2 needs at least 4 drives to be useful.

  Have you checked that you can actually run a different OS on the UGREEN NAS?

  Considering the services you want to run on the machine you’ll want all the RAM you can get.

  Also, the CPU is already weak by today’s standard, especially with “heavier” workloads like Immich machine learning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  self-hosting

  and people who want it to work with minimal friction.

  We’re talking (potentially) highly sensitive contents here for the most part. Yes, selfhosting has become easier than ever, but at the same time more people who basically lack the experience and/or patience to actually understand what they’re doing want to start selfhosting. And that simply doesn’t end well in an alarmingly high number of cases.

  Yeah sure, of course there are tools that can make life easier. But have a look at the “big” self-hosting packages. A lot of them will need at least some manual configuration. Then there’s the “exposing a host to the open net” aspect, which can (and usually will) introduce a whole different level of attack surfaces.

  So combine that with the ever-growing number of self-hosters, and of course you will notice more advice like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backups of Backups⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nextcloud (later Opencloud) and Immich as primary data sources, backup to:

  • server itself, on mirrored drives
  • NAS
  • 2 external drives periodically (1-2x per week)
  • off site cloud data storage

  This worked and works well for me.

  If someone sees a blue police box, run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does ISP or in general Torrenting tracking works?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your ISP will know which sites you visited, even when they cannot specifically say what you downloaded.

  Just assume everything you do online is logged at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unraid hardware upgrades (couple quick questions)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially older models from the second hand market can get tricky, as getting supported drives will be harder each year. Also, you cannot simply put 18TB drives in there and expect them to work. Also also, a lot of them require SAS drives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unraid hardware upgrades (couple quick questions)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 1070 is probably a waste of power.

  IF you’re going the secondhand enterprise gear route, check which drives you can actually use in them. The Dell will likely only take a dozen or so drive models, sometimes locked down to Dell-flashed firmwares. And those can be expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server notifications on fedi⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know how many server apps will ask for an email address?

  Heck even immich asked for an email address! WTF! Ask me for my mastodon or my Lemmy address!

  Most people have one or more email addresses (the OG federated messaging system) and email notifications pretty much “just work”. Compared to email usage, Fediverse users are a rounding error.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are bots on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You bet there are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich Frame crashes chromium after extended period of time?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, apparently I misread, I thought Immich was running on the same Pi.

  You could try another browser, but you’ll still have to check other possible sources. RAM usage, system log, etc.
