- Comment on Server ROI Calculator 14 hours ago:
This is merely ROI, it doesn’t capture things like watching what you want.
I started from needing a server for mobile devices to sync to, music, general file storage, and some virtual machines for testing stuff.
That put me at about 1TB. I already had a bunch of DVDs that I wanted to watch more conveniently, so I just upped the stotage and started converting my own stuff.
So my setup isn’t just for media/replacing subscriptions - that a knocks on effect.
Still this is a nice calculator for me to better visualize what things actually cost.

Well it’s a pretty good start (and I do agree with you on using the appropriate terminology). I’ve had to look at it differently and use it with the ideas only head being misrepresented on screen. Still the idea is great.
Sounds like you’d be a great co-conspirator for OP to really make this project exceptional.

You can choose language top right
- Comment on Do you backup your docker images? 21 hours ago:
Curious, have you tested rebuilding using this approach?
It makes sense to me, if the compose files are up-to-date, it should just work.
I’d only be concerned about ensuring I capture changes made to the container that happened after initial build.

Now that intriguing, I’ve never encountered this.
Hooe you can find the video - I’ll go look.

There’s no SH sound in strawberry, you’re just pronouncing it wrong. (And that’s something I almost never say, as language is always changing).
- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 2 days ago:
Even 30 years ago it was possible, but not easy, and definitely not cheap

This is what I was trying to find for op. Well done!
- Comment on Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? 3 days ago:
There’s a project on github just for this, I forget what it’s called.
Basically they’ve developed a mechanism for providing instructions and access to security (usernames, passwords, etc).

You should probably read more history.
Lots of suffering for lots of reasons.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 4 days ago:
There are two conditions that can cause this: diabetes and hypoglycemia (which isn’t really a diagnosable condition, as we don’t yet know enough about it).
Go see a doc just to be sure.
Bit of background, because most people don’t understand: Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease, Type II is a reaction to dietary conditions.

- Comment on Hatred for new accounts on Lemmy is related to people's inability to debate the merit of a post on its own so they engage in ad hominem and strawmen fallacies to weaponize their weak arguments. 1 week ago:
You mean garbage like this with a brand new account?
And you wonder why we note it’s with a brand new account? Perhaps because that’s a sign you’re a disingenuous sophist?

Only when they post inflammatory garbage like OP using a brand-new account.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Very carefully.
I suggest a fully-enclosed space with near-normal earth pressures and air mix. Makes for faster adjustment and less likely to get winded.
I’d have multiple spaces connected to a central space, all with plenty of views to the outside (with appropriate solar blocking in the “glass”).
In the main area I’d have a well stocked bar, with moon/solar system themed drinks. Make it annopen bar, anyone who can afford to get there has already paid.
Basically, not much different than hosting on earth, just needs to have a softer floor and walls as people experiment with reduced gravity.

- Comment on QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year 2 weeks ago:
None of those are a problem to me, and enough people that there are now at least 2 phones with keyboards out.
- Comment on QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year 2 weeks ago:
Hey, a real keyboard is a massive change.
SD isn’t needed like it used to be, my current phone (old Pixel) is 128gb, all my personal data is synced to home automatically. Anything extra I need I can grab via Resilio Sync.
An SD slot would be nice to have, but since you can’t do things like change them on the fly they have their own limitations.
Removable battery is less of an issue too. Batteries have gotten better, and OS efficiency has improved tremendously. Replacing a battery is pretty straightforward anymore, I haven’t broken a screen doing it in years.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 2 weeks ago:
Yep.
I run Tailscale on every device that can run it, and have a TS router in one device at home for devices that can’t run it.
Its my fallback Syncthing every has a Discovery server failure.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 2 weeks ago:
It’s a fantastic app, but doesn’t do sync like SyncThing or Resilio Sync.
It can do things similarly if you work at configuring it, but it can never monitor a remote and sync based on file changes there. That’s not a criticism, it’s a function of the file system approach it takes - it can sync with many different file systems, but it doesn’t have a client at the other end - it simply interfaces with that file system. Fantastic actually.
I’ve used it since about 2010, it was my solution for moving files back and forth for a long time. I still use it for specific things, but I’ve put more effort into ST and Resilio Sync config and management because they’re full-on sync suites.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 2 weeks ago:
Instant sync only works for local folders it can monitor. Since it doesnt have a client on the other end, there’s no way to make this happen (it would have to monitor the destination).
Its a great apo, I’ve used it for 10+ years, paid for it 2 or 3 times because it’s worth it.
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using Fork for years. Möbius on iOS has financial support from a 3rd party that uses Syncthing in their own processes, so I suspect it will stay around.
That said, Resilio Sync is the other most-viable option I know (and use).
It’s a little less kind to battery with larger folder pairs, and uses more memory since it stores the index in RAM. But it’s robust.

- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 2 weeks ago:
Nothng ofdicial, sorry, wish I did!
Mostly personal experience. But that experience is also shared among a group of peers and friends in the SMB space where their clients think they can keep stuff on externals in an office safe only to find they’ve gone tits up nearly every time the pull them out a couple years later.
In the enterprise you’d get laughed out of a datacenter for even suggesting cold drives for anything. Of course that’s based around simple bit rot concerns, and why file systems like ZFS use a methodology to test/verify bits on a regular basis.
